Examining the death toll of Israel's attack on Gaza, refuting denialist arguments, and providing the context that they leave out to manipulate you & attempt ...
Dude just sits there for 45 minutes making general comparisons and leaping to his own conclusions. Not a serious video.
Like because one other war has fewer civilian casualties, Israel is therefore targeting civilians in purpose. That conclusion doesn’t follow.
Dude doesn’t even mention martyrdom culture or Hamas doing things like spreading misinfo that the evacuation warnings, phone calls, and texts from the IDF were hoaxes. Makes no mention of why the civilian casualties are so much higher in Gaza as opposed to other conflicts.
Those other conflicts didn’t have Hamas building hundreds of miles of tunnels under every population center, didn’t have Hamas encouraging families to live above the tunnels to protect them. That’s why the civilian death toll in Gaza is so high.
There’s dozens of genocidal statements by israelis government knesset members and yet you have the audacity to blame all the civilians dead on Hamas only. Do you know that Russia use the same human shield excuse to target civilians?
Russia says that the Ukrainians dug 500 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 mi wide and used them for decades to launch terrorist attacks against Russia?
I haven’t heard that claim one time. I don’t think it’s true either.
Also haven’t seen those statements you’re talking about backed up. Israel certainly has the capability to annihilate all of Gaza in a matter of minutes. Here we are one year later, 99% of Gaza is still alive. What is it, the most incompetent genocide ever?
Not only the number are underestimated due to the collapse of health system but genocide was never about killing the majority or all members of an ethnic group etc. Israel action fit at least two examples of action defining genocide which are causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group and
deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
Yeah a few Israeli soldiers have used human shields occasionally. It’s a crime in Israel and people in the IDF get charged for it.
Hamas does it as a matter of daily policy, with hundreds of thousands of people, voluntary and involuntary. What kind of bullshit whataboutism is this?
In the first days of the war, Hamas literally spread rumors online that the evacuation orders were a hoax and that everyone should stay in their houses, that nobody should leave North Gaza, or Gaza City.
“Echoing his leader, Major General Igor Konashenkov, chief spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defence, stated in a news conference on February 28 that “the armed forces of the Russian Federation strike only at military targets”. Discussing the capital, Kyiv, he added that “the leadership of Ukraine and the authorities of the city, having announced a curfew, are persuading the residents of the capital to stay in their homes”. This, he concluded, “once again proves that the Kyiv regime uses the residents of the city as a ‘human shield’ for the nationalists who have deployed artillery units and military equipment in residential areas of the capital”.”
"Then on March 3, Moscow accused Ukrainian authorities of holding a group of 6,000 Indian students and other foreign nationals as “human shields”. Indian authorities themselves denied the claim. A couple of days later, Putin declared that “the neo-Nazis” were obstructing the creation of humanitarian corridors requested by the Ukrainian government to evacuate civilians trapped in the line of fire, claiming “the militants” were keeping the potential evacuees as human shields."

I didn’t mention tunnels, I mentioned human shields. Russia is using similar excuses as Israel. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/4/3/why-we-need-to-challenge-russias-human-shields-narrative Don’t try to feel us you know really well the amalek reference by natanyaho and many other statements https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/database-exposes-500-instances-of-israeli-incitement-to-genocide-in-gaza-16537146

When resistance group committed atrocities in the past like the may may did it make the colonizers the good guys?
Hamas actually uses human shields, though, and rewards people for war crimes, such as not wearing uniforms or kidnapping civilians.
Who’s using human shields again? https://youtu.be/v8rrfys-Fgc?si=DTcBMLYHVjVGLsOl

So if Israel had any kind of military base near civilian areas, would that mean it’s using Israeli citizens as human shields?
