History is nuanced.

Shooting starving people should be one of those moments of clarity that cuts through the narrative.


I think that is what the parent is alluding to, when it comes to waiting for more facts.

One of those facts might be intent or misheard orders. It might just be that this actually happened (as a war crime) but it is probably too early to tell.

Regardless of what happened, it helps to wait until more info comes out.


It's been every day for weeks, there is video.


There literally isn’t any video of GHF doing it.


How long should we wait? Seems it's always just wait... Until it blows over and can be swept under the rug...again...


Exactly that.


The "nuanced" rhetoric to add doubt that things may not seem like what they are, is tiresome at this point. neepi's comments seem reasonable, innocent until proven guilty, but it's simply a strategy to exhaust onlookers with bureaucratic formalities of investigation and prosecution under the masquerade of reasonable justice.

It's a cop out and putting one's head in the sand to the real atrocities of zionistic ambitions of usurping Palestinian land.

In America, if someone trespasses into one's home and the home owner kills the trespasser, the vast majority of the time, the owner is justified and there are numerous court cases we can point to. Recently, it has become clear to me that Palestinians are simply trying to defend their own property/land/humanity.

Israel's trespasses are finally seeing the light in the latest set of conflicts and folks reading this comment that are unsure should spend 30 minutes looking up the videos of the conflict.

Israel blocking aid, murdering medical personnel with impunity, the before/after of Gaza, the list of crimes perpetuated by the government is undeniable at this point.


This is my favorite response from you guys!

"Look, children may be dying and maybe we're killing them but we need to verify and we need more time. Because first of all what were they even doing there? Oh and also this is our Land anyways and there were no deaths nobody died there aren't even any children in gaza!"


This is a fine example of the irrational discourse that does damage to the whole situation.

Every case needs to be investigated thoroughly and punished accordingly.


> Every case needs to be investigated thoroughly and punished accordingly.

Which is the exact reason you should be concerned. Israel has zero accountability for their actions, many of which are documented war crimes.


Did I say I wasn’t concerned?


at the point, advocating for neutrality in the face of overwhelming evidence of war crimes day after day after day is a pretty clear indication of not being concerned.


> Every case needs to be investigated thoroughly and punished accordingly.

And who exactly do you propose should do that? The Israeli govt?


Hell no. Neither party in a conflict is in a position to do such an investigation. Who do you think?

ICC would be nice but the geopolitical gorilla in the room knocked them down.


The United States isn't preventing the Israeli state from cooperating with the ICC, Israel is.


So the civilians being murdered need to be investigated and punished? Hmm hot take.
