I think a more accurate statement is “Israel infiltrated a supply chain to sell IEDs to, possibly, Hezbollah”. These explosives went off in public places and killed random civilians.

The only thing I’ve learned here is that securing the supply chain of consumer goods is more important than ever.

Gotcha, sorry about that. Thanks for putting it in context. Some of the images of the landscape in Gaza are truly haunting

There are indeed lots of bodies buried under the rubble, and lots of bodies that are unrecognisable. Not sure about the hospital part, but I recall the process for identifying a dead body to be fairly involved

On the surface this is just another callous comment but you are making a few dangerous implications here:

1. Gaza is not as bad as Hamburg (for which no proof was provided) 2. Gaza has to be as bad as Hamburg for it to be called a genocide 3. You want Israel to make Gaza look like Hamburg ‘43 4. The historical precedent (without even getting into land occupation) of movements justifies a genocide.

So Putin wouldn’t be committing a genocide if he returned the children and started bombing 90% of the buildings in Ukraine?

Got it!

While you’re at it visit the OPT too! It will show you exactly how invested Israel is on diversity.

Yes, let’s thoroughly review the facts and posit while bombs are being dropped.

Speaking of courts, didn’t the ICC have something to say about this?

How can they hate their methods if far worse methods are being used against them?

Besides, do you think someone in a war zone has the capability to support, or better yet, donate to a militant group when they’re on the brink of starving?

You’re implying that the genocide is, somehow, beneficial to carry out?

Besides, the war isn’t even against Hamas. It’s against civilians, with an intent to kill as many as they can manufacture consent for.

I don’t think anyone uses a saying to back claims over land.

In any case, your comment seems to suggest that Palestinians /could not/ have come up with this phrase, and had to resort to stealing the occupier’s, which is wildly misleading.

In any case, the origin of the phrase is ascertain.

Are you trying to run damage control here or something? I’m not sure why the GHM is being centered in this thread rather than the people who have been killed.

I agree with what bhouston said. With so much destruction and death happening (even right now), I suspect it will take very long to get an accurate count.

The original comment’s implication that infrastructure damage is somehow more damaging than the human death toll is abhorrent.

None of this will matter in 54 years when everyone will be using an XVR headset while driving an Xsla (they renamed) to send out an Xmail
