If this doesn’t make the UK government wake up, I don’t know what will. I had a nosey on the Daily Fail today and the reporting of this story and the comments are actually quite scathing towards Israel. Hopefully this is a sign the tide is starting to turn?
Important to note that genocide is all about intention to destroy a group in whole or in part. If you’re just killing a bunch of people without that specific intention it’s a crime against humanity - still bad but doesn’t exactly carry the same weight as something being declared a genocide
They’ve shown their intent on numerous occasions.Important to note that genocide is all about intention to destroy a group in whole or in part.

International law does recognise that collateral damage can occur (in specific circumstances) and that innocent people are going to be affected. The talking point matters because it will likely form a part of their defence (as someone has just posted) to the public and will likely affect how angry a State is publicly going to get at what has happened - though the usual allies will stay silent
I have just read an opinion article from iNews that made it sound like the convoy was the only thing seemingly specifically targeted. It floated the idea that Israel would say it was mis-communication between all their forces, and if that’s the case then pressure really should be applied on that point rather than just shouting into the void that Israel can’t be trusted
The truth is that Israel have made their intentions known they did have the capability of targeted strikes they chose to use dump bombs and bombs that made people explode on the inside.Important to note that genocide is all about intention to destroy a group in whole or in part.

As pointed out above, the result of this particular targeting has been not only to divert much-needed aid AWAY from Gaza, but it has also made organisations responsible from providing food too scared to enter. Because they'll be killed. It's the same as they did with UNRWA except UNRWA kept going for as long as they could, so they had to get more 'creative' and say UNRWA were Hamas. Meanwhile, the starvation continues - worsens, quickens. They can moot as many 'talking points' as they want, but those are the facts of the matter. They're deliberately starving the population.
i get what you mean, but israel claiming that they're specifically after terrorists is at direct odds with the murder of aid workers with such precision. their policy is palestinian = dead, which sounds to me like "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group".
I don’t disagree that generally the whole situation has elements of a genocide to it - saying this because it seems that some people don’t seem to have understood that and I don’t want 10 quotes of people trying to explain something to me that I already know
I agree but Israel has always relied on their propaganda machine especially the mainstream media, they are still using their regular tactics but in the modern world it’s not working it’s a PR disaster because they are accustomed to their lies being accepted as standard but with everything being live streamed it’s not working out and they’re looking more and more dishonest and the evidence keeps piling up and they are pissed that they can’t hide their tit anymore.I don’t disagree that generally the whole situation has elements of a genocide to it - saying this because it seems that some people don’t seem to have understood that and I don’t want 10 quotes of people trying to explain something to me that I already know
However, the international and Israeli response is going to be shaped by (a) what they can get away with and (b) beginnings of explanations to the international legal community - primarily goes for Israel specifically, though it won’t reflect well if Israel is found to be responsible for a genocide or crimes against humanity and you have several countries supporting them and backing them up
I’d also argue that it’s generally helpful to consider because it’s the tit Zionists are going to come out with and if the only thing anyone can say is “Israel can’t be trusted” then it’s not exactly great
Probably because they are trying to make the Gaza strip uninhabitable so they can move the resettle the population and claim the land for themselves.
We'll write a very strongly worded letter don't you worry!Any Israeli diplomats getting booted out of the country? Is the US stopping arms sales to Israel? Any plans to isolate and make an example of Israel? Is Israel banned from Eurovision? No, didn't think so. Take the collective shocked and saddened stance and shove it up your arse world!
While supplying the reconnaissance, political cover and weapons on the side.
He looks like he is having the time of his life. Must be nice to know that in history your name will be remembered alongside the likes of Pol Pot, Stalin, Deng Xiaoping, Hitler. A really stellar bunch of guys. Rot in hell.
