      I think they mean “at risk of completing full genocide”, sadly enough.

      UN protocols demands being careful when using certain terms when referring to a given event before a proper resolution or investigation has been carried out. If you follow the news, you will notice that they warn about obviously blatant war crimes as “might be a war crime”. What’s noticeable isn’t that they’re following their own protocols, but that they’re bringing the war crimes to everyone’s attention.

    The Israeli mission to the U.N. in Geneva called the comments “deplorable and deeply concerning” and blamed Hamas for civilian deaths.

    (Insert “why would they do this” meme here.)

    Hamas is evil, yes, but that doesn’t prevent the Israeli government from also being evil.

          Palestinian is not an ethnicity, it’s just where you live, like Californian, or New-Yorker.

          The ethnicity would be Arabs.

            Then I’m sure other Arab countries would gladly take these people into their countries, since they are the same ethnicity, after all. What? They don’t? They see them as a different ethnicity and don’t want a(nother) provocative minority in their country?

              I mean, ethnicity isn’t really a qualification for citizenship. And all countries with an ethnic majority aren’t really obligated to take in people of the same ethnicity. The only country I’ve heard of with such a policy is weirdly enough Israel itself. The other arab countries should take Palestinians in just as an act of morality but this “they don’t because of their race” take is bizarre to me. Its very publicly because they don’t want a sizable chunk of their population to have supported radical governments like hamas (even if most Palestinians don’t and haven’t had the chance to since what is it, 2006?).

    “Risk” of genocide? Risk?

    They need to update their fucking AI model.

    The burning house is at risk of catching fire. The dead man is at risk of heart failure. This headline is at risk of being full of shit.

      I guess hornet set the bar to hight so the Israeli gov will only stop when the finally kill more then 6 000 000 innocent civilians.

      No for real what haunts me is that they are the descendents of those who survived such massacres over the history only to do it themselves when they finally gained power. (They is Israel’gov)

      Edit: Hitler not hornet, wtf sorry guys

      I’d rather call them facists. A core component of nazism is it’s antisemitism and that seems a touch ridiculous to call israel despite how unfriendly zionosts can be to anti/non zionosts jewish folk.

      They were active negotiations going before Israel went all out in Gaza, and there were 4 hostages released.

      Didn’t Netanyahu say that hostages are not their top priority? And by bombing all those tunnels while perfectly well know that all the hostages are kept there is kind of a signal that he cares very little for the wellbeing of his own people.

      I think relatives of those held in captivity are already quite discontent and pissed off with your war cabinet, aren’t they?

        That’s 4 hostages out of 200. All 4 still have family being held hostage. They were released so you’d be able to say exactly that. Don’t fall into Hamas’s hands so readily.

          The truth is that Israel didn’t really try to release them. They just started the ground offensive and intensified the airstrikes and started bombing the tunnels the same where those hostages are believed to be.

          So ELI5 how is helping the hostages? As this in my eyes is another proof that this war cabinet cares very little about them. And the relatives of those hostages are expressing their anger openly and dissatisfaction.

          In an interview with the BBC, Goren describes his cousin as “an average guy, he’s a civil engineer, he’s got a wife, he’s got three kids”. His family is “sick with worry”, Udi says.

          But his biggest frustration is that he feels the families of hostages “just can’t trust anyone”.

          “We don’t trust our government, [we don’t trust] that they’re doing their best to bring them back. Obviously we don’t trust Hamas,” he explains, adding that they’re “not getting any clear answers”.

          “I don’t see in any way, in any way, how bombing Gaza to the ground is going to get my cousin back. I don’t see in any kind of scenario, how this is getting him back alive sooner,” Goren adds.

            The truth is that Israel didn’t really try to release them.

            They literally did just that not 2 days ago. It’s just an extremely difficult and dangerous job trying to rescue hostages in the massive network of terror tunnels Hamas has built.

      It’s more like “hey, that neighborhood full of families and shopkeepers has some gang members in it. Let’s bomb it all.” Hamas isn’t “bringing in kids”. They’re resistance fighters who live in the same area, which is roughly the size of Los Angeles. And in the minds of Hamas, they’re fighting for those children to have a right to that land in their future. To have a right to grow up free and unoppressed. Those children aren’t “shields” and they weren’t brought there. They were born there and are now being indiscriminately bombed as an excuse to make Hamas look bad. Where’s Mossad? Where’s Israeli special forces? Israel likes to talk a big game about their abilities, but in this conflict, “rain missiles from the sky and blame the victims for being in the way” seems to be their only tool.

      You realize Israel even bombed evacuation routes, right? Told people “it’s safe to leave this way” and then bombed the caravans leaving. You can’t even leave without getting bombed, and you think they’re just importing children in?

      What are you smoking? I want some.

        In this video by channel 4, they briefly mentioned the story of a wounded boy, who got the permission to get through the Rafah crossing. His Palestinian father didn’t let him go, because the father himself didn’t get such permission. This is how they care about their children.

            I blame Hamas, and Hamas only.

            According to felony-murder rule all responsibility for civilian casualties lays on Hamas. This rule might seem unfair to some, but in US it is used widely.
