Yeah I'm so sick of the "women and children" thing. It's so blatantly misogynistic and helps construct the idea that every man in a warzone can be considered a combatant
So don't forget that Hamas' military wing is about 30K, in a population of 2.4 millions, so let's say half are children, so that's 1.2M left, and let's say the other half are women, 600K is roughly the male population of Gaza. So it appears that 1/20 male are associated with Hamas. 5%.
And by killing and destroying so many lives and homes, and futures, Israel is well underway to groom another generation of broken human beings who are more likely to get radicalized.
I think the idea here is that babies (and likely women) aren't part of Hamas so there is 0 justification for killing them. Of course innocent men shouldn't be killed, either, but they could claim they are Hamas militants whereas babies can't be soldiers
Yeah that's what I meant, I realise that my formulation is bad. He gave unconditional support to Israel and withdrew it once it's been made clear that it's actually bad PR because they indiscriminately bomb and kill. Hence the government of clowns remark.
I'm very critical of this government and their response to what is happening in Gaza has been abysmal so far.
What's unhinged about having enough of a terrorist group shooting rockets at civilians, brutally murdering, raping and kidnapping civilians from their homes?
May you never see that happen in your country, to your family and friends, and have other people on the other side of the world get on their high horse and claim disproportionate response. What is the proportionate response? Go decapitate some babies in Gaza? Rape and butcher kids in front of their parents?
These numbers you're hearing are from the same people who claimed a rocket that hit a hospital was shot by Israel killing 500, which turned out to be shot by Hamas and killed 50. They are known for blowing up their own people as well as the numbers. They have the whole Pallywood industry of terror behind it.
Has to be an AI headline, right? Or what the fuck? I don’t know if I am seeing actual AI shit or just bad writing because I am looking for it or whatever
Israel says it attacks military targets in line with international law and takes steps to reduce civilian casualties, like issuing warnings ahead of strikes and calling on people to evacuate.
Starting by discussing Gaza, Mr Macron said France "clearly condemns" Hamas's attacks on Israel on 7 October which sparked the war.
But Mr Macron said he disagreed that the best way for Israel to "protect [itself] is having a large bombing of Gaza", saying it was creating "resentment and bad feelings" in the region that would prolong the conflict.
After a month of Israeli bombardment and nearly two weeks after Israel launched a major ground offensive into the territory, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said on Friday that 11,078 people had been killed, while 1.5 million had fled their homes.
And he said that climate change was causing terrorism in parts of the world, specifically mentioning the effects of global warming in lower water levels at Lake Chad in West Africa.
But when asked if he ever felt depressed by the sheer number of issues facing the world, Mr Macron said he saw it as "a chance and an honour to have responsibilities [as head of state]".
