Do you think it's secretly disguised mossad agents masquerading as Egyptian officials when they say they don't want to let in Gazan refugees?
That would certainly be an interesting twist
Do you think them keeping their border shut is relevant to Gazans wanting to escape?
Why? Most of them have been taught they are god's chosen
Do you think the Egyptians are putting a genocide on Gazans by keeping them trapped in a war zone?
Don't they know this man is literally unjailable?
into Israel
Are they preventing them from fleeing elsewhere?
Can you cite a source that they're not allowing them to leave Gaza?
I've linked you an article where you can learn about the US military 'shooting every boat they saw crossing the river'. I can imagine you haven't really heard about the details of the siege of Raqqa because, well, most people didn't want to know. There's a lot you can find though, same goes for sieges like Mosul or Fallujah: a final siege against a dug in enemy is never going to be pretty. White phosporous, thermobaric weapons, ... War crimes. It's either that or a lot more casualties for the attackers.
And regarding your final paragraph: Israel is encouraging massive evacuation of civilians as well. It's not like they're not letting anyone out of Rafah, it's just that Egypt is not letting any refugees through (unless they pay) which results in them running around in circles. But rest assured that they would not have let Raqqa 'of the hook' if those civilians hadn't left
So, if I look at your whataboutism argument
Why would you want to include every single death in Gaza and then coldly say 450.000 excess deaths (read that number again) in Iraq 'don't really count'?
US-backed forces succeed in making Raqqa 80 percent “uninhabitable”
Do you think they were sending in food trucks while they were bombing anyone trying to flee the city?
I think it's weird you're downplaying these other genocides to defend taking a stronger position on Gaza
The Lancet estimates 2,5% of the Iraq population killed because of the US invasion between 2003-2006. They're nearing 1,5% in the Gaza strip (but it's slowing down). So I would think it's weird to say it's normal people are protesting the Gaza one so much while not really caring about the Iraq one, back in the day.
(Sorry I hope I'm somewhat exagerating but I also hope you see my point)
As I said: half assed
Retreat, return, repair. Anything less is just trying to excuse and continue to profit off the genocide
That largely depends on how you ask the question. Based on this article:
Support a ceasefire? 64vs13%
Support a unilateral ceasefire (as in: what's effectively what's being asked for Biden to threaten to pull support for today)? 28vs44%
I'm sure if you as who supports 'peace in the Middle East' you'll get a large majority, but that decision isn't really on the table
Bringing justice to those that were genocided would entail ending the occupation, returning all stolen land to their ancestors, and probably transferring all assets to them. Not some half-assed "I'll strive to create an office to ease the pain"
I'm so very sorry, of course I meant the Rwanda supported genocide in Eastern Congo. Can you explain on why you see this as 'bad faith'?
“just tear things down”
I read that before, prolly from one of the gradbears or something, on how they didn't mind Trump winning and going full authoritarian, because that was a chance to "hit the reset button". Now, even with my best will I can read that as 'revolution + new constitution' but I cannot imagine how these people think that shit is going to go down in the USA today.
Of course it's part of a democracy. But the point everyone's making is that it's a very dumb thing to do because it's likely to reduce your democratic power in the future.
