    How is it a war if one side can cut off the electricity, fuel and drinking water used by the other side ?

    I get Israel’s anxiety, literally being surrounded by nations that want to obliterate it from the face of the earth. Still, that doesn’t justify war crimes.

      Replace “Israel” with “Russia” in your comment. Oh, wow, now suddenly neighboring nations have reasons to want them obliterated from the earth?

        Russia is not surrounded. They have friends along most of their borders or a sea in between.

      Reminder that hundreds of Palestinians were murdered during the 9-year “truce” from 2014-2023. Not to mention the land stolen and the homes, farms, and crops destroyed in the West Bank during that period.

          This is as terrible an argument as when republicans point to maps showing huge swathes of land colored red as if it’s land that votes instead of the smaller blue areas of land filled with way more people (i.e. actual voters) and claiming that republicans are underrepresented. Lives are what matter and it’s clear who is doing more killing.

      No there wasn’t. Israel has never stopped committing acts of war against Gaza. There was a blockade in place and they never stopped doing strikes. To say there was a truce is fucking farcical.
