Well I do want you to know you’re not alone, I’m in therapy too. I was in the 101st for OIF 1. And yeah this shit is distressing. For me it’s the people blithely excusing war crimes we bent over backwards to keep from committing.

Putting together the bombing, indiscriminate killing of civilians near the aid centers, and blocking aid convoys to restrict calories available in the “humanitarian” areas, paints a pretty good picture. The only thing they haven’t copied from Nazi Germany yet is camps with ovens.

I hate to defend Israel here because they’ve gone off the deep end. But there was always going to be a response and unfortunately there was always going to civilian deaths, including children. Keeping those to a minimum is a big deal to any military trying to operate in good faith, but zero won’t happen until we turn the moon into an arena and have all of our wars up there.

There’s also the fun fact that despite similar bombings, the death toll seems to have stopped going up after Israel did their best to destroy every major hospital and health infrastructure in the country. It’s entirely possible they’ve lost the ability to effectively count the dead and this isn’t the current number, it’s the last known good number. A country not being able to count it’s dead in a war should only happen because the other side is controlling the hospitals and thus responsible for those reports. So yeah, the next time someone questions if they can even count the dead remind them of Israel repeatedly targeting their healthcare system.

They are the government of Gaza. Calling their civil service workers terrorists is just ridiculous. Are Ambulance drivers in the US responsible for the CIA’s doings?

And if they don’t have ability to count the dead anymore, (40k is a months old number at this point), could that have anything to do with Israel repeatedly targeting the healthcare infrastructure in Gaza?

Hold on let me go check history, yup, yup, history says that it’s very possible. Which makes one wonder, why is Israel doing this?

There is a large difference between war and genocide. The last group to say you couldn’t have a war without genocide was the Serbians.

I continue to live in hope you will realize victim blaming the people you blow up isn’t an argument.

Nah.

It’s a summation, science isn’t into clickbait.

No. You’ve had two shots at this question and both answers will do here.

Sure the Nazis get 1st and 4th but BLM gets a police riot. If we didn’t have those rights, they don’t have those rights. There’s no double standard here.

Thankfully, we don’t have to.

Nah. By now you have to be willfully ignorant.

If the paper says something the abstract doesn’t then it’s a bad paper or a bad abstract.

I absolutely provided a link, it’s even labeled, “IPC Report Link”.

And no. The news article is very clear these checkpoints are inside Gaza, not at the border. Which again is there for you and everyone else to read.

And lmao you think Hamas is what? Paying the UN to say they’ve been attacked by Israel? You know what don’t answer that. I’m not sure why I even replied to this post since it’s very obvious your only angle here is to deny all evidence of Israel’s crimes. No matter how damning.

No you asked why hadn’t they raised prices before. And I was nice enough to let the flawed premise pass, (they have raised them before, they’d be out of business if they hadn’t) and give you the layman’s answer to your layman’s question.

Now you want to say it meant something else, something the English you wrote doesn’t support.

No.

Oh you see, you could have asked that way up there. And I’d tell you that you’re operating from a flawed premise. Economics actually talks quite a lot about monopoly power and rent seeking.

So funny story. I’ve gone to every link you’ve provided to me and none of them were a UN study.

Also a funny story, one link I provided you had multiple IPC reports. So that tells me you aren’t reading my links, and that your claim of “one FRC report” is laughable.

In the same lane, you also obviously didn’t click though to the news article I provided in the last comment. Or you wouldn’t have said something so demonstrably false about Gazan aid being turned around. Also, again, if you’re going to comment in so many places, re-read the thread real quick to make sure you haven’t forgotten something important. Like the fact that I mentioned that in the last 3 comments. It’s not in fact something new.

Finally, accusing UNRWA of incompetence while blocking and attacking their aid convoys has been an Israeli propaganda line for most of the past ~10 months. The fact you’ve gone in on that twice now is enough for me to just leave this here. You’re not here in good faith.
