⚖️ A classified State Department report quietly reveals “many hundreds” of possible Israeli human rights violations in Gaza.

The backlog is so large, it could take years to review — raising serious questions

Classified U.S. report finds backlog of hundreds of possible Israeli human rights violations — The Washington Post

The report found “hundreds” of possible Israeli human rights violations, further complicating a process to review credible allegations against IDF military units in Gaza.

So, by the same logic, if you are not denouncing crimes against brown skinned people in Gaza you are (and “were always”) racist.

Have you denounced even one crime committed by the IDF in Gaza?

What does that make you then?

Apparently 46 children needed to die because Hamas can’t retrieve the dead bodies of hostages buried under the rubble of Israeli bombs quickly enough.

Makes sense.

“The rubble tells one story; the people who created it tell another. The reckoning will be in deciding which story we choose to believe.”

By the pro-Israel NYT standards, a good and very balanced piece.

Ok so in your last post it was all of Gaza, now it’s just Hamas & its predecessors. Progress of sorts I suppose.

I guess if your borders were controlled by a country with a military a thousand times the size of yours & not allowed a legal military of your own you would be entirely passive too.

Now that Israel have all their hostages back, they are resuming their genocide against Gazans.

This was always going to happen because when Israel breathes, Israel lies.

This was about as unpredictable as the sun rising in the East.

Israel never wanted peace, it only wants death or forced migration to Palestinians and expansion of its territory.

Once again I’m sorry to jump in with facts but, as detailed in that study I posted, only about 1 in 5 supported armed resistance before Oct 7th.

I agree that they have a right to self defense and a state but, given the circumstances of their subjugation, they were a remarkably peaceful people.

Any Way You Want Me @anywayyouwantme.bsky.social · 17d

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are simply ill-informed. They were not popular before Israel started bombing Gaza. (Facts can be awfully inconvenient):

Hamas do not represent the Palestinian people so no, they don’t “represent that flag”.

They were voted in in protest to a corrupt regime, were never popular and had about 20% support before Oct. 7th.

The fact that they were supported, enabled & funded by Israel up to October 7th is unfortunate.

I hate to be pedantic but the guardrails are the police, the FBI, the courts, international law and congress and they have all been dismantled. Public mobilisation is a desperately improvised, untested safety net.

Good luck to all at the #nokings protest today.
