@azizsonofgun @DrLoupis@Israel@mikispitzer This headline shows just one case of rape, which I'm sorry has likely happened, but should reflect the soldier and not the IDF as a whole. The other article you sent was al jazeera, which is most definitely biased and is funded by the government of Qatar.
In fact I never explicitly said there was systematic rape, so you are putting words into my mouth. There has been evidence, you are just ignoring the evidence because you don't want to believe that the group you support has committed such atrocities.
Gaza is certainly not occupied by Israel, but one could make the arguments that it is occupied by Hamas. You almost had me with the point that Gaza is beseiged and I could have agreed with it but I do find that a difficult point to stand by as Israel is actually letting food, water and an array of supplies and humanitarian aid into Gaza. In short, Gaza is not beseiged.
They had plenty of time to rape. They could be raping the hostages right now, but we won't know until we get them back unless Hamas kills them. Your ignorance is shameful. As for the bombing, of course, Israel is going to bomb Hamas in Gaza after the horrific attacks. Wouldn't you expect your country to do the same?
@azizsonofgun @DrLoupis@Israel@mikispitzer Kidnapping is not liberation. You should judge them harshly for their actions, and it's quite shocking that you don't. You are clearly the type of person who enables Hamas
I find it quite amusing how you say I am ignoring history, yet it is you who is under the impression this was caused by Israeli colonisation. This goes further back than this, and I thought you would've done some form of research into it before having the audacity to say I am the one who is ignoring history.
The reason we are going round in circles is because you keep avoiding the arguments. Instead of putting forward a well constructed response, you choose to make ad hominem attack on me because you can't reasonably back up your radical position. Notice how you once again dodged my questions, showing you have no reasonable answer. You clearly have a strong hatred for Israel without reason, and it's you who is keeping anti-semitism going. Dare I say your argument is rooted with a hint of anti-semitism behind it.
It is clear to me that now you know very little on this topic and don't have the facts to back up your points, hence why you are attempting to end the discussion. You made a pitiful attempt to defend your view and never once made a well structured, intellectual response. Your ad hominem attacks are shameful, and I wish luck in any future debates on this topic, as you will definitely need it.
Well you see I came to the conclusion via critical thinking, something you clearly do not possess. It is not a hard conclusion to come to that Hamas could end this, and the blood of all these deaths are on Hamas.
I find it quite insensitive on your part to claim that Israel is weaponizing the holocaust, and using it to shield itself from criticism, when the holocaust is still in people's living memories, and Israel had suffered the largest terror attack against Jewish people since the Holocaust.
I never once said I was not opposed to violence so how on earth have you come to that conclusion?
Sure you are bothered that your tax money is going to Israel, but what about the tax money that went to Hamas, which they used to build tunnels and conduct the horrific October 7th attacks. Are you angry about that? If so why didn't you mention that alongside your expression of anger about tax money going to Israel?
If I remember correctly I thought you wanted to "Show some objectivity" Clearly you haven't done that.
Israel did not start this. How far back in history do you want to go, because we can go far back. It is in fact on Hamas to do the right thing and surrender unconditionally and release the hostages. Israel can't give up which is what you are clearly implying as they still have hostages to return. If they do not defeat Hamas, there will be another October 7th, just like Hamas said they would do in their charter.
I am not confusing the Jews and the state of Israel, nor am I continuing antisemitism, which I thought was clear. It is obvious that when you have no way to clearly argue for your side, you result to trying to degrade my argument. I am still awaiting the well thought out, knowledgeable answer that you seem unable to provide.
