It’s something I’ve seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There’s accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame those conversations seemingly cannot be had without resorting to racism. I hope this site us different.

      Yes. My claim wasn’t that Israel isn’t committing war crimes. It clearly is. Possibly genocide too. However, I’m of the opinion that the Hamas attack was a war crime too - hence parties

      I hope that’s helpful

        you are arguing in bad faith. just stop, nobody is buying it.

        public opinion has turned for Israel, so they better finish killing off the Gaza residents, I doubt another such chance present itself. Country will forever be stained with this shit.

          You’re projecting here, I think. I’ve been pretty clear on my position. You haven’t said why you think the Oct 7 attack doesn’t constrain war crime by Hamas.

            Hamas is a non state actor under international law. This is not a war, Israel is conducting reprisal against local population due to a terrorist attack. Just like US did after 911.

            Reprisals against civilian population is a war crime.

              Fair point to the extent that Palestine isn’t a state, Hamas can never commit a war-crime. So that’s OK then.

                Israel is not even killing Hamas. They just doing scortch earth policy on Gaza residents.

                “What about Oct 7” lost any weight 5 months ago lol

                  If you read back through this thread, you’ll see that in no way shape of form have I defended the atrocities carried out by Israel. That doesn’t mean that Hamas’ actions on Oct 7 weren’t also an atrocity. “Yeh, but that was 5 months ago” doesn’t feel like suitable rebuttle. No you don’t use genocide as a response to attrocity, but that doesn’t mean the original massacre wasn’t a atrocity.

                  I think you should should avoid using “lol” in these kinds of discussions.
