    Palestinians’ tactic of “existing and deserving rights” is paying off, yeah.

    Human shields are kind of useless against an army with no morals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      If they want more rights that begins with following International law on any occasions. Rejecting terrorism. Putting your soldiers in uniform. Freeing hostages. Not targeting innocent people every single day with indiscriminate rocket attacks. Do you know anything about the people you’re talking about or are you just ignoring it all because you’re sad about the consequences of their own actions? Nobody made Hamas build tunnels under every single school and hospital, nobody made Hamas turn their airport and water ports into instrumentalities of international terrorism. That’s what the people chose. Hamas is (was?) wildly popular.

        Apart from the fact that they do have uniforms for soldiers (except for during that little hospital “operation” some months back), you see that Israel is guilty of all of this too, right?

        Eg being held in “administrative detention” without charge is being held hostage, harming or threatening innocent civilians so they put pressure on their government is terrorism. Killing AI-identified “targets” while they’re at home with their families because it’s easier is targeting innocent people every day. And withholding the necessities of life from civilians on purpose is against international law. Nice uniforms though yeah.

        Should we take away Israelis’ rights by your logic? Or should we not punish innocents for the actions of people who claim to speak for them?

        Basic rights are not conditional. Not sure how I can explain that to you if you don’t understand that already. Jesus christ.

              Prisoners taken in a warzone under suspicion. Administrative detention. Call it however. No diplomatic status. Citizens of no legitimate state. Hamas is a terrorist organization. They don’t get to have a state. They are actual war criminals for all intents and purposes, and in all pursuits. War crimes are never punished in Gaza, often rewarded, always revered. Hamas is indefensible and unredeemable for what they’ve done to millions of people of have lived and died in Gaza without any prospects, having turned every institution into modalities of Iranian-vassal terrorism. Give me a break.

                Here you go, something fun to learn: https://www.btselem.org/administrative_detention

                Again, nothing to do with war, NOT prisoners of war. Hostages by another name. How did you not know about this?

                They are actual war criminals for all intents and purposes, and in all pursuits. War crimes are never punished in Gaza Israel, often rewarded, always revered.

                Also true this way around. Israel has been committing war crimes for 7 months straight now.

                  Israel has been committing war crimes for 7 months straight now.

                  Why only 7 months and not more? Did something change Israel’s intentions to spend more time on commiting war crimes?

                  I could say hamas has been commiting war crimes for years now. Would that be wrong?
