Speaking at a news conference in Doha, Qatar, alongside Qatar’s prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Mr. Blinken said that “a deal was on the table that was virtually identical” to one that Hamas put forward on May 6.
At some point, he said, “you have to question whether they’re proceeding in good faith or not.”
Putting things in stupid caps doesn’t change international law. It also doesn’t change what literally every other nation in the world is expected to do, and does, in times of war.
You’re literally expecting different treatment for Israel, allowing them to commit war crimes, because they’re … special?
You do realize that having a different response to Israel doing something versus other countries is literally one of the definitions of antisemitism from the IHRA, right?
I wish the Israelis weren’t intent on intentionally causing as much collateral damage as possible to intentionally thin the population to a minimum(An intention actually stated by Bibi.)
Yes, the response to Israel doing something is indeed always more severe than when any other country does it.
As to war crimes, I’ve never seen any evidence of intentional targeting of civilians as a matter of policy. I’ve seen evidence of individual soldiers doing that, and that’s happened in every war. It’s why war is bad, and you shouldn’t start wars.
There is not a single country on this planet which would tolerate an organization like Hamas remaining in power after an event like Oct 7.
This is you doing the bad faith thing again. You knew what I meant. I can back it up with facts. But instead you don’t engage with something that you can’t back up, and just ignore the point I’m making.
Too bad the IDF is really just an air force that hasn’t yet learned the lesson that an air force can’t hold territory, and the only strategy they have is bombing civilians when the militants absolutely own most of the engagements they get into with the conscript army.
In other words, Israel has to learn to live with Hamas, because they can’t handle them any way other then through genocide.
Also, you don’t make peace with your friends. You make peace with your enemies. That is why it is called making peace, and why it is hard.
