    Wtf you’re making this about my family background now? Which by the way is german for as far as I can trace it back, and that’s quite a few generations. But how is this relevant?

    And you’re mixing stuff up, like Afghanistan also has quite a different population density and consists of desert for a large part, that might have something to do with it don’t you think? And the nature of the conflict is also quite different.

    And you know what? I’m not even denying that atrocities like Annan building happen also on IDF side. But these are nutjubs that act without IDF chain of command approval and without following standard IDF processes. And there is a legal system in place where they are being dealt with and punished. Is it still unfair? Of course it is. But in palestine terrorist attackers are hailed as martyrs and their families get payouts by Hamas. That still makes the Israeli side much better in my view.

    And also it’s not Israel vs. the rest of the world as you make it out to be. Israel is far from isolated on this and for a good reason.

      “about my family background”

      Why would this be related to your family? Unless I’m right in that you’ve been to birthright in Israel, but your family is irrelevant, even if connected. So that’s a yes. Wasn’t really hard to imagine, truly. Because I was being serious, anyone supporting Israel like you are, denying their atrocities and the fact that they are genociding women and children is literally under the influence of the zionist propaganda. It’s not your fault, they’re really good at it. You’re a victim of propaganda.

      Still, it doesn’t change the fact, does it now?

      https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/01/1145937

      Detailing the provisional measures that Israel should implement, the ICJ judge noted that both South Africa and Israel were States parties to Genocide Convention and therefore had agreed “to prevent and to punish the crime of genocide”.

      Quoting article 2 of the key international treaty signed in the aftermath of the Second World War, Judge Donoghue explained that genocide was defined as “acts committed with an intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

      The two-million-strong Palestinian population did indeed constitute a distinct group in the court’s view, she said.

      Turning to the article 3 of the Genocide Convention, which prohibits “conspiracy to commit genocide” and public incitement to commit genocide, the judge said that the ICJ had taken note of a number of statements made by senior Israeli officials.

      These included comments by Yoav Galant, Defense Minister of Israel, who reportedly told troops on the border with the enclave that they were fighting “human animals” who were the “ISIS of Gaza”.

      Israel is committing genocide. Killing women and children.

      https://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2024/israel-war-on-gaza-10000-children-killed/

      But you’re making sick excuses and justifications for the genocide, and saying “the Israeli side is better” as if the Palestinian women and children were doing anything to Israel. You don’t even have the ability to discern between Hamas, a terrorist organisation, and the people of Palestine. Because you’ve been brainwashed into thinking they’re all the same and thus it’s justified to exterminate them all.

      It’s sickening to me that despite the horrors inflicted on the Jewish people in WWII, they’re still doing this now. It’s sickening.

        I don’t know, you’re down to personal insults now and framing me as a bad human? So I’m falling for pro Israel propaganda? Have you considered that maybe it is you who is falling for Hamas propaganda?
