You realize its still genocide even if people have babies right?
Here is some actual data about death tolls on both sides of this war up to 2020
Huh, intentionally keeping terrorism alive so you can justify taking land and committing genocide, particularly when your side is known for also committing terrorism is quite relevant.
Right, no part of that statement claims 100% of palestinians support Hamas.
Israel didnt exist before the jews started invading... They invaded and took something like 60% of the land, and kicked 100% of the people out of their homes on that land, managed to move them to the 40% or so of the land they were allowed to.. They literally relocated more than half of an **entire nation*.. cleared them off the land, and built on it.
It would have taken a **fraction** of the effort to not relocate anyone or take any land but rather occupy the territory like we did for germany, and replace the government entierly.. Replacing governments is **obviously** much easier than relocating 60% of a nation into the remaining 40% of the nation.
No I dont recall anyone saying that.
@realcaseyrollins LOL you think they have power to take 70% of the land away from them but not hte power to just occupy the land and depose the government... Come on man its a lot easier to occupy a country than to to literally kick 100% of the people off of it and take it completely over.
@realcaseyrollins paywalled cant read .. I also only read reliable (non-profit) journalism as a rule.
@realcaseyrollins No one has ever had a problem with them getting rid of Hamas..t he problem is thats not what israel has done.. every time they make war they 1) take land from the people 2) mostly engage in war crimes like using small children as shields (as has been discussed).
If what israel did, however, was Occupy the territory, actually remove the hamas, and then install a good government, this could have been solved a long time ago.
You wonder why they dont? Because as long as they let hamas "fester" then they can keep using it as an excuse to take more land.. solving the hamas would take away their one scapegoat for genocide, so of course they wont.
How do you expect them to do that, they are walled in and prevented from leaving and all the fresh water is on the israel side (why do you think they took that land from them!). The aquafier is pretty much almost an exact map of the borders of palestine!
Lets hope your right... Never seemed to stop them before
@realcaseyrollins They have been doing similar shit since before Hamas even attacked.. Now they have an excuse it will just get worse.
Similar, I think the MP5SF is the one with a buttstock, which would be illegal in the US for civilians, but they might use that in non-civilian use.
If it isnt full auto it isnt an MP5, that would be the SP5 and yea thats not unusual, thinking of buying one myself.
Even our swat wouldnt be seen with a full auto gun, so still sounds like UK is more armed. We also would never have swat guarding places, you would never see them even around really expensive stuff, they come out once shit is already going down.
Weird to hear one of the least armed populace has one of the best armed police force...
@lowqualityfacts Cant be hung over if your dead from alcohol poisoning...
"Backed with US weapons and munitions, Israel has dropped over ten thousand bombs in Gaza in just a week, twice as many as the US dropped in Afghanistan in a year and, according to UN sources, the equivalent to a quarter of a nuclear bomb."
A quarter of a nuclear bomb worth of explosives in one week. Let that sink in.

The reason it doesnt work for people on QOTO is because QOTO isnt mastodon, its a fork.
@freemo Yeah, as always, it's all about incentives.
Give people personal incentives to protect things like environmental status and they will tend to do so.
Socialism undermines those incentives, so it's not surprising when things like environmentalism get set aside for the things that are incentivized.
@necromanticnomad ahhh very cool! Awesome find.
Except that socialism (the real kind, the near-communism kind, not the european kind which is still capitalist) has had an abysmal track record when it comes to the environment. Worse than capitalism in fact.
