Trump isn’t an exception, if US presidents could be tried for warcrimes there would be several things to charge him with from his first term already.

The official death toll is around 43k but estimates range much higher, likely over 100,000. The entire healthcare system in Gaza has collapsed so they cannot identify and put an official tally on many of those killed.

She can say whatever she wants, she has been part of the administration funding this genocide, she could have used her position to be more firm about stopping the aggression from Israel but has been nothing but supportive, regardless of what sham talks of ceasefire they may have tried to claim. Is there any evidence that she will take action that would be meaningfully different than what Trump would do?

Join the IDF and see for yourself then. Why do you think there is a crisis of morale in the IDF? There was an interview from an IDF soldier talking how emotionally taxing it was for him to drive a bulldozer over dozens of people. Even Israeli news points how horrific the average actions of the IDF are.

If a group of militants decided to have a meeting in the basement of a fully occupied apartment building in NYC, you believe it would be ethical for the US military to destroy the building and kill hundreds of people in their homes?

They have attacked the IDF many times and secured numerous casualities, just recently they struck an IDF intelligence unit with drones killing dozens, resulting in the commander’s resignation.

This attack is a warcrime based on treaties that Israel has itself signed to, and has been recognized as such for decades.

It’s not whataboutism, it’s good to look at the history and motivations of anyone making claims like election fraud. US officials are saying it’s fake, the US has a long history of South American political interference, especially if there is even a hint of socialism.

It could have been an opportunity like they had renovations in the building, an agent disguised as a worker planted it inside the wall or something. Or like a plot on a Sopranos episode, feds snuck into Tony’s house and swapped a lamp with an exact replica with a listening device inside. Definite security failure for a secure compound though.

Dang, only “slightly injured”.

You can look through the history of statements by the average Israeli politicians, military officials and pundits to get a sense of their goal, it can be deduced by their actions but they been more or less open about it for years. The political history of and statements by the Israeli minister of national security Itamar Ben-Gvir is a good example of the general zeitgeist of the political bloc in power in Israel.

True, I don’t think pragmatic people in the arms industry would push for genocide, a more drawn out, even conflict would be better for their profits probably. But if there is one they can make money on they will, even if one side is eradicated and the fighting stops there are always other conflicts.

In the example of Israel, if they succeed in eradicating their current target (Palestine) there will be more enemies for them to fight, so they would still be a valuable client of Lockheed Martin et al.

I guess you haven’t met the defense contrators, weapons manufacturers and politicians who are rich because of wars and genocide. I haven’t personally met many of them either, average people don’t associate with those types.

True, I shouldn’t say the world, just major Western powers like the US and it’s allies.

I believe the words of the dozens of doctors and independent aid workers, the footage of atrocities, the long history of atrocities, more than the words of the people killing them (IDF propaganda). It’s not like this is the 1700s and there are no photos or direct evidence.

They have found many bodies wrapped in plastic, contrary to any normal practice, sometimes with medical devices like catheters still attached. Some people may have been buried alive.

I’m sorry the truth hurts you.

What does it matter if they have other political motives? The world is enabling their utter annihilation, children, babies, innocent people with no political ambition. That must be stopped before we wring our hands about what they might do with freedom. They are human beings, people with lives and families, not wild rabid animals.

Hamas has been given millions of dollars by Israel over the years while any other potential political group has been surpressed. Without Israel they may actually have a chance at forming alternative groups. There is already the blood of nearly 40,000 Palestinians on our hands.

The war is about ending Hamas and destroying the tunnel system

That may have been arguable on Oct. 8th, but no one with eyes and a brain buys that anymore. It is a war of annihilation, they are destroying all of Gaza and crushing hopes of a Palestinian nation. The Israeli establishment has made it clear they don’t support a Palestinian state of any kind.

Even during this current escalation they have continued to annex land in the West Bank, what does that have to do with Hamas or tunnels?
