There are no polital parties on the planet to the right of the RightWing Extremist Fascist Likud.

Not my job to defend Hamas, but clearly they are nowhere on the RightWing spectrum.

So, how many rockets were fired by Hamas multigraincracker May 2021 #1
None WHITT May 2021 #2
Thank you for multigraincracker May 2021 #4
"They only falsely claimed Hamas had an 'intelligence office' " EX500rider May 2021 #5
Let's pretend that is true. There is no moral or legal justification for bombing a whole building pnwmom May 2021 #8
That makes it a military target and they warned the occupants to get out. EX500rider May 2021 #10
No, it isn't enough to just be a military target. This attack violated the law of proportionality.nt pnwmom May 2021 #11
How do you know exactly what the military advantage would be? EX500rider May 2021 #13
The IDF could also decide that every Palestinian citizen is a probable Hamas sympathizer TheRickles May 2021 #15
The IDF won't have the last word. The International Criminal Court will. pnwmom May 2021 #16
Israel is not a member of the ICC Mosby May 2021 #18

The law of proportionality is relative and open to interpretation. totodeinhere May 2021 #27
And most of the world thinks Netanyahu's a warmonger who's doing this pnwmom May 2021 #30
I understand that cynical viewpoint, but that doesn't account for the fact that the IDF totodeinhere May 2021 #37
I think Thomas Friedman is right. Netanyahu and Hamas use each other pnwmom May 2021 #38
The Israeli military would say whatever it wants to justify Mysterian May 2021 #12

I dunno, seems to me like they're still reporting just fine. Jedi Guy May 2021 #9
All Their Archives Were Destroyed WHITT May 2021 #24

Demolishing Journalist's Offices WHITT May 2021 #26
Is it really? Can you please cite the convention or law which states that? N/T Jedi Guy May 2021 #29
I Don't Really Have The Time WHITT May 2021 #35
You asserted it so it's on you to prove it. Jedi Guy May 2021 #40
Are Your Fingers Broke? WHITT May 2021 #42
Again, you asserted it so it's on you to prove it. Jedi Guy May 2021 #43
If You Don't Want To Know WHITT May 2021 #44
If it's so easily available and well-known, give me a link. Jedi Guy May 2021 #45
I think the poster who calls everything the IDF does a war crime and nothing Hama's does.. EX500rider May 2021 #49
The ducking of the question is unsurprising. Jedi Guy May 2021 #51
Yep WHITT May 2021 #59
Military occupation requires occupation EX500rider May 2021 #60
Nope WHITT May 2021 #61
Perhaps you should look up the definition of military occupation EX500rider May 2021 #62
Perhaps You Should Read UN Resolutions WHITT May 2021 #64
"Perhaps You Should Read UN Resolutions" EX500rider May 2021 #70
OK WHITT May 2021 #82
Well your choice has been obvious EX500rider May 2021 #84
I Told You More Than Five Hours Ago WHITT May 2021 #58
Color me unsurprised. Jedi Guy May 2021 #63
Giving civilians only an hour's notice to evacuate before blowing up the building they live and work Withywindle May 2021 #32
Targeting media is fascism 101 Withywindle May 2021 #33
So let me get this straight. Jedi Guy May 2021 #41
Targeting civilians violates International Law, guillaumeb May 2021 #47
"The Israeli Government has no problem with this." EX500rider May 2021 #50
Nonsense. Israel is targeting civilians, guillaumeb May 2021 #65
Nonsense back at ya.. EX500rider May 2021 #67
I mean... Jedi Guy May 2021 #52
The Israeli Government targets civilians, guillaumeb May 2021 #66
If they were deliberately targeting civilians, the death toll would be way higher. Jedi Guy May 2021 #71
The narrative was the same in Vietnam, and Afghanistan, guillaumeb May 2021 #72
It's cool how you totally sidestepped everything I said and just repeated your assertion. Jedi Guy May 2021 #73
You assume that because the casualty numbers are relatively low, guillaumeb May 2021 #74
Well, if Israeli is deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians, they're doing a terrible job. Jedi Guy May 2021 #75
Hamas came into being in the late 1980s. guillaumeb May 2021 #76
Yet another rhetorical sidestep and deflection. Jedi Guy May 2021 #77
Your speed at research is amazing. guillaumeb May 2021 #78
Your artful dodging is amazing, too. I'll answer your question when you answer mine. N/T Jedi Guy May 2021 #79
"So what did you find out about those 4 issues" EX500rider May 2021 #87
If one builds on a weak foundation, the structure will be unstable. guillaumeb May 2021 #88
Things that happened before the founding of modern day Israel EX500rider May 2021 #89
By that logic, the US civil war has no bearing on current issues in the US. guillaumeb May 2021 #90
The civil war does not predate the US EX500rider May 2021 #91
Palestinians in Palestine predate the Israeli State. guillaumeb May 2021 #92
Hamas is not firing rockets into Israel because of something Irgun or Stern did in 1930's EX500rider May 2021 #93
Google the term blowback, guillaumeb May 2021 #94
Yes Hamas is currently experiencing blowback EX500rider May 2021 #95
