It doesn't make what better? No one's excusing the loss of life, they're putting it into context by demonstrating that Israel is clearly not indiscriminately bombing the place.
Israel cannot stop, Hamas has made that exceptionally clear with their repeatedly saying they will continue to massacre the country and 10/7 was a rehearsal. No country would let that existential threat just sit on it's border firing thousands of rockets at it. That's just an outrageous claim to make, they can't stop until Hamas is gone. No country on this planet would.
So the UN is calling for a ceasefire that the US keeps vetoing for.. No reason?
Besides the Oct 7th invasion, what damage has Hamas done to Israel? The rockets that get shot from Gaza into Israel, from what I understand, unilaterally get shot down.
Netanyahu said just yesterday that he intends on thwarting any attempt to a demilitarized Palestine, which is pretty much the only compromise short of full invasion and control. Israel has essentially announced its intention to wipe out Hamas, which isn't itself a bad thing, except that they are dislocating 1m+ people in the process into other countries that don't want them, and killing people who don't or can't move.
Israel won't cooperate with probes into the way their military handles civilian encounters, so we're just supposed to believe them when they say "it's fine" when videos arise of them outright executing civilians?
The US vetoed it because it lacked the turnover of hostages from what I read. Seems like a great reason to shoot it down.
There are entire towns vacated because of rocket fire. There's been medical centers hit by fire South of Tel Aviv. Israel invested its money into defending its people, Hamas used its money to build tunnels civilians aren't allowed into and bombs.... you're pretty much saying not enough Israelis are dying so the bombing doesn't matter. That's pretty fucked up but sure. One side cares about their people, the other openly states it doesn't.
Netanyahu is a criminal, no argument there but he's entirely correct in saying Israel will have full control over the strip when this is done. That's the only option for Israeli safety. From there it should be transferred to a technocratic government hosted by the Arab states that have established ties with Israel, UAE and Saudi should lead that effort but that'll come after the current administration is replaced. Based on the people protesting, that's ASAP but not until Hamas is done.
Given the clear bias against Israel by the UN, the number of resolutions issued for human rights is comical, would you accept a probe? Iran sits on the human rights commission. Israel has been rung up for it's treatment of women LoL. That's a kangaroo court if there's ever been one. It's disappointing there isn't a reasonable body to investigate though, UNRWA needs to be dismantled and I'm quite sure there's monsters in the IDF that need to be locked up too. I'm hopeful their judiciary will hold their people to account, they've done it previously but I don't think it'll be enough. That's a sad reality of war. Just like the people pulling the strings in Doha and Tehran won't be held to account, there's going to be Israelis who aren't either.
No the US Vetoed it because they are complicet in the Genocide, if you hear the president ever speak about Isn'treal it is clear that he will do everything in his power to suport them no matter what they do.
Also there is no bias aganst Isn'treal, there is a larger number of nations who dislike them because, and I cannot stress this enough, most nations, and all decent people dislike genocide... I am sorry you have to learn you are a bad person this way
LoL. That you can't even spell it properly while claiming there's no bias just demonstrates your ignorance bigotry. You can claim I'm not a good person, I'm fine with the judgments of the likes of you. History will again show just how easily the morons of society fall for the propaganda being pushed, and you're quite clearly one of the captured.
Oh I as a person, as the Red Army Dog 100% Bias, I hate genocide and Genociders l, I hate opression
The UN member nations, no there is no unfair or unjust hatred of Isn'treal, they, and I cannot stress this enough, are doing a GENOCIDE
