    You mean the blockades where Israel supplies Gaza with water and electricity?

    Holy shit the Israeli propaganda is strong.

    After more than a month of the Israeli government’s unlawful blockade of Gaza, which has included catastrophic cuts to water, fuel, and electricity, as well as very limited deliveries of food, water, and medical supplies, the lack of clean water is resulting in “grave concerns” by public health experts of an imminent infectious disease outbreak in Gaza, including waterborne illnesses like cholera and typhoid.

    Israel is genociding Palestinians. This is not some controversial take. It’s the stance of the UN and the majority of the international community, supported by mountains of evidence.

    Yet still pigs like you dare write garbage comments like that

      I mean that’s exactly what I am talking about. How was Israel in a position to cut anything? Because it was them supplying in the first place. To you expect them to keep on feeding and supplying after the attacks? You kill my festival goers and cry foul if I stop giving water and electricity in return? Maybe don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

        Honestly, it blows my fucking mind how utterly delusional people like you are.

        A hypothetical, if you will: you own a house and assume (for some legitimate reason) that you own the land around it as well. Well, the state informs you that you don’t actually own the whole land and I’m gonna build a house next to you.

        No issue there, plenty to go around. But then for the next few generations, I keep annexing your land bit by bit. I even annex most of your house, and now you’re living in the cupboard under the stairs, because I made you.

        Would you feel anger? Well, that’s irrelevant. At that point, you’re dependent on me, because of my actions.

        Does that justify then locking you in the cupboard without food, electricity or water? Does that make it okay for me to deprive you of basic human rights?

        Especially because you didn’t even do anything. It was your violent cousin that you have no contact with and who you think should be in jail. But he shares your surname, so I use that to justify my crimes against you.

        UN notes I’m wrong. A majority of the international community agrees I’m breaking your basic human rights.

        I still refuse to admit I’m doing anything wrong.

        End of hypothetical. Do you see anything wrong with it?

        No. And now you’ll regurgitate some more zionist prppaganda while completely ignoring the UN’s position that Israel is committing warcrimes. You simply can not admit any flaw with Israel, because of your programming.

        Please. Please, prove me wrong.

          Did I say I approve the land stealing and settlement policies? What I said is that going on a killing spree and running amok on a music festival is not an acceptable reaction, even if you’re being treated unfair and your land is being stolen. And if your government thinks it is then this kinda does become your responsibility.

            What you’re saying is that “genocide is the correct and moral choice in this situation”.

            Isn’t it?

            Are you denying the Israeli are genociding Palestinians?

            No matter how horrid the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel were, they do not justify genociding Palestinians.

            And fucking shame on you for implying it does.

            “It’s the Palestinians own fault they’re being genocided”

            Where did you grow up, might I ask?

              That is not at all what I said. And I do indeed not believe Israel is genociding palestinians. The settlement policies are shitty but they do not equal genocide. Refusing supplies if Hamas takes control of them, that’s also not too much to ask. And if Hamas declines, who is it now that is denying supplies to palestinians? It’s a shitty situation but no, genocide is something else entirely.

              I grew up in Germany and you’re right, that might have influenced my views about how people are responsible for their government and how extremism has consequences.

                “I know better than the UN and the majority of the international community, they’re all just propagating Hamas’ lie but everything Israel says is 100% true and they’ve not done anything wrong”

                See the part a few comments ago where I said my mind is honestly blown by how delusional people like you can be.

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

                Court order 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”.

                You’re simply refusing reality, because you’ve been brainwashed.

                You grew up in Germany. I believe the schools in Germany teach the history of the holocaust pretty well. If you were awake for even a minute during even a single lesson, you must have heard about how the Jewish people were treated during WWII, and with what rhetoric the Nazis justified that with.

                But you’re still unable to perceive that when Israel is doing it? Even when UN and the majority of the international community agree vehemently that Israel is committing crimes against humanity?

                  Of course I do see the facist tendencies also in Israel and their government. And of course, I never said what happened to palestine now and before is all fun and games. It’s just that I think Hamas and leaving them unchecked is so much worse. That’s it really, choosing the lesser of two evils.

                    “Lesser of two evils”

                    Being a victim of systemic genocide because you have cousins who fought against being genocides is “more evil” than actually systematically genociding people?

                    See it’s things like these which make my stomach turn over when I read your comments.

                    So do you deny Israel is genociding Palestinians?

                    In one of you comments, you said that under no circumstances should anyone be killing kids.

                    Israel is knowingly and willingly killing women and children, in horrific amounts.

                    ##Two Thirds of Gaza War Dead Are Women and Children, Briefers Say, as Security Council Debates Their Plight

                    Sima Sami Bahous, Executive Director of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), recalled that women and girls pay the highest price when armed conflict erupts. Since 7 October, when Hamas fighters attacked Israel, 67 per cent of the more than 14,000 people killed in Gaza are estimated to be women and children. “That is two mothers killed every hour and seven women every two hours,” she said. “We mourn them all.”

                    Every day, 180 women are giving birth without water, painkillers, anaesthesia for Caesarean sections, electricity for incubators or medical supplies, she said. Mothers, meanwhile, mix baby formula with contaminated water — when they find it — and go without food so that their children can live another day. “Women in Gaza have told us that they pray for peace, but that if peace does not come, they pray for a quick death, in their sleep, with their children in their arms,” she said. “It should shame us all that any mother, anywhere, has such a prayer.”

                    Could you imagine defending Hitler in 1940 by saying “I’m choosing the lesser evil”? Probably not. So open your eyes and smell the genocide.
