Israel literally told Gazans to go to Rafah to be safe. They said it was a safe zone.
Now they're supposed to leave Rafah.
You might ask where Israel thinks Gazans are supposed to go. The answer is- nowhere. They're supposed to die.
In the ground or sky
I'm sure they wouldn't spare any iron dome missiles if the Palestinians went as high as the radars would pick.
Israel literally told Gazans to go to Rafah to be safe. They said it was a safe zone.
And the IDF was operating elsewhere, not entering Rafah at the time.
Now they're supposed to leave Rafah.
Yes, that's how it works. It's like how sometimes during road construction, the construction crew might route you into a different traffic lane. Doesn't mean that lane will remain safe to drive on forever.

Now this is just plain false, since it doesn't look like you actually bothered reading any details about it. Israel did in fact tell them where to go.
And then Israel will bomb where it told them to go just like it bombed Rafah after telling them to go there. Or is that just Hamas propaganda?
Terrorist group Hamas is shooting rockets from there, so of course Israel isn't going to ignore it completely. If Hamas stopped hiding behind civilians, the entire area would have been left alone.
Why does Hamas hiding amongst civilians justify killing those civilians?
How many people have been killed by those rockets vs. how many children killed by the IDF?
How many people have been killed by those rockets vs. how many children killed by the IDF?
I'll remind you that Hamas recruits children. Is an unfortunate situation where the children and terrorists counts have some overlap.
Also, why is it always about kill counts? Are you saying it would be more okay with if Hamas successfully killed more people?
Why is it kill counts? Because over 13,000 children have been killed in this war. I suppose you'll claim all 13,000 of them were Hamas soldiers. Even the babies.
I'll remind you that Hamas recruits children.> I'd argue that Israel does Hamas' recruiting, by murdering their parents.
Don’t lie to us, and stop lying to yourself.
For over 100 years zionists have been terrorizing and committing genocide there. They killed or pushed out the Muslims, they disenfranchised the Christians until they left. They’re currently clamping down on Jewish people who don’t believe in Zionism.
They have always pushed. Every treaty, every agreement. Every legal attempt to stop the violence has been ignored, or discarded under paper thin or faulty pretenses. Terror is often the last resort of a people who have no other options. (Unless western nations give you billions of dollar in weapons and force other nations to recognize your presence, then you can call it statecraft!)
For zionists and for Israel, the goal has always been to paint the land red with non-believer blood and to destroy every bit of culture that isn’t ‘theirs.’
That’s why they bomb mosques and universities. That’s why they bomb infrastructure. That’s why the West Bank has been split into tiny enclaves. They’re choking the life out of the land so they can plant the seeds of their hollow society on barren soil.
Yes, that's how it works. It's like how sometimes during road construction, the construction crew might route you into a different traffic lane. Doesn't mean that lane will remain safe to drive on forever.
That’s a bad analogy. The construction crew direct you to a safe place while they repair the rest of the road. There’s nothing being repaired in Gaza. It’s just being systematically destroyed.
Repairing Gaza by removing the terrorists hiding there.
Problem: Bibi sees all Palestinians as terrorists and potential terrorists.
"If they aren't already terrorists, I'll terrorize them until they are."
Or claims to. I am not sure that he's a true believer so much as an authoritarian who wants to hold onto power and escape justice by pulling the hatred/religious extremism lever that helped him get where he is (he literally marched calling for Rabin's death prior to the assassination).
Riiiight ... removing terrorists like all those children in a playground the IDF bombed with precision bombs the other day.
Your "argument" is just a variant of the good old "All Palestinians are Terrorists" hasbara propaganda slogan.
Murdering civilians creates more terrorists
It’s like how sometimes during road construction
Robert Moses drives a six lane highway through your neighborhood and you all get to eat shit and die.
No. They "need" to push them to the sea for certain religious sects to be satisfied.
pop it on the list
I'm sure Netnyehu is really dreading the intense finger wagging he's in for.
While calling terrorists everyone who stands for Gaza and sending the police, which mutilated many people under Macron's regime, to interrupt protests.
Classic Macron.
so no war crime until now?
No, just another one
Hasn't Russia been abducting children for over two years?
Well yeah, that's why Russia is under sanctions, and why we're helping Ukraine.
you're not wrong. and Russia is also a bad guy. But so is Israel. And so is North Korea. And so is America. And so is...
The list goes on and on. But this article isn't about Russia, is it? It's about Israel committing war crimes.
Condemnation is good but action is greater.
Oh, look, Macron waving his finger even more energetically.
That's really going sway the Neue Nazi administration in Israel.
How many people need to die in order for the isreali government being satisfied? It is a rethorcial question as it should be clear by now that the answer is "all in Gaza". It is quite the speedrun to become one of the most despised countries.
You can safely assume that IDF will not care the slightest. The more Palestinians die from being starved and displaced and getting sick, the less bullets they will need.
It's a win-win then? I mean, bullets and bombs are expensive and you can't expect Americans to pay for every genocide!
Good old finger-wagging to wash their hands of atrocities. "Hey man, we told them not to do it."
France has quite a few W moments recently

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
