Bit awkward for old mate
What is the difference between what Hamas did on October 7 and what Israel are doing now?
On what grounds do you want Iran’s supreme leader arrested?
Who cares what the difference is..it is war. What’s the difference between Pearl Harbour and the fire bombing of Tokyo?
It is not war.
It is genocide. It is ethnic cleansing.
Was all of WWII just “war”?

Are you saying that fire bombing Tokyo and atom bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima wasn’t genocide and ethnic cleansing ?
Israel wouldn’t be doing this now if October 7th hadn’t happened.
More evidence that the most "Moral" and "professional" army is actually the least professional and most compromised in the world.
IDF soldiers are providing Israeli terrorists with the location of aid trucks so that they can stop them. And people wonder why the police or IDF aren't stopping Israeli terrorists. They're one and the same.

Gaza aid truck attackers claim they were tipped off by IDF soldiers, police - report
A Palestinian aid lorry driver told the Guardian “There is full cooperation between the settlers and the army,” mirroring claims from Tzav 9.

There's clear evidence that the atomic bombs were calculations, that they knew hundreds of thousands of soldiers (on both sides) would die if they used conventional methods to invade islands closer and closer to Japan. The Battle of Okinawa claimed nearly 300,000 lives. That's more than the atomic bombs combined. There was also almost no planning to continue atomic bombing during WW2, they calculated what would be required to make Japan surrender and ultimately save the most lives, including Japanese.
The firebombing of Tokyo was almost certainly a war crime. So was Dresden. So was the Blitz. So was the rape of Nanking and nearly everything the Japanese did to POWs and civilians.
Israel have not made such calculations. 3,000 Israelis have been killed by Palestinian terror since 1948. Israel have killed more that many toddlers in the last 6 months. There is no calculation going on by the IDF. They don't care about terrorism and they don't care about hostages. Just punishment of Palestinians.
They were doing it pre-October 7th, just more slowly. They've been forcing Palestinians out of Palestine with force, brutality and minimising quality of life in the Occupied Territories as collective punishment for decades. Oct 7th just accelerated it.

If there was no apartheid, October 7 probably wouldn’t have happened.

Watching the UK government going troppo over protesters, yet again.
Independent adviser (who works for an arms industry lobby group) wanting increased surveillance of protesters.
amp.theguardian.com
Protest groups have condemned a long-awaited report on their activity that recommends a review of undercover surveillance of activists and making protest organisers pay towards policing.
The 292-page report by John Woodcock, now Lord Walney, entitled Protecting Democracy from Coercion, calls for a curb on many activities, including a blanket ban on face coverings at protests and making it easier for businesses to claim damages from protesters who cause disruption.

Yeah I mean clearly it was a catalyst, may not have even needed something as dramatic as October 7 to trigger this response.
They definitely were - just like Cambodia and Berlin at the end of WWII

New narrative - France is Hamas
No they were not. They might have been abhorrent - but Japan and Germany were not genocide.
No one had the stated goal to ethnically cleanse the Japanese or Germans.
Israel on the other hand have clearly stated their genocidal intentions over and over.
This search through history for equivalence to justify what Israel is doing is outright disgusting.
ok maybe not "genocide" but all were def war crimes
though the end of the Vietnam war would have come close to genocide. USA literally didnt want to take their bombs back home cos it was too expensive so they dropped them all knowing the war was ending.
Oh, and i forgot the effort that USA did in Korea when they flattened every single building and some estimate nearly 70% of the 3 million casualties were civilians.
Are they not classified as genocide because USA didnt say they intended to wipe them out? Millions of civilians still die.
They'll do anything but discuss what Israel is doing in defence of Israel.
Almost like what Israel is doing itself is indefensible. So they compare what they're doing to atomic bombs and other associated war crimes as if comparison to historic war crimes is defence for current war crimes.
