IDF should be rebranded as IDGAF. Because they're pretty much doing whatever the fuck they want, indiscriminately, with no regards to ethics or the value of human life.

Why should they GAF? There's never any more consequences than chagrined finger wagging, and even then the Israeli government starts screaming "antisemitism!" It's crazy to me, because the Israeli government is pretty goddamn anti-Semitic to be out there implying that Jews simply must be allowed to murder anyone they wish without consequences.

"The IDF ... does not deliberately shoot at civilians" - that's pretty blatant as lying goes!

The interviewer should ask Nir if he considers the hostages in Shuja'iyya to be civilians, or what he means by "deliberate"?

*They say while shooting at civilians

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 19 points 8 months ago

Oh, shit! That HAS to mean there will be some pretty serious repercussions, right? I'm certain we wouldn't just let people break international law and get away with it!

You mean israel intentionally kills journalists in order to prevent coverage of their Genocide? Color me shocked.

And the IDF lied about it? Again? True shocker.

Surely Biden is going to do something about this obvious war crime.

Yes he’s going to send more aid to Israel, so they can kill more journalists (and their families).

GenocideJoe will do nothing.

[–] turkishdelight@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Israel will respond by murdering more.

"We know we will face no consequences, eat shit!"

"International law" is a meaningless term. Especially as the USA itself does not acknowledge non-US courts and/or jurisdiction.

Makes my blood boil they're just now starting to realize they might have done a single war crime when they've been flagrantly doing nothing but war crimes and bragging about it non-stop since they started their systematic extermination of Palestine.

Why the fuck is nobody bringing their complete and utter lack of legitimacy into question?? They're basically modern day Nazi Germany.
