President Joe Biden condemned by the move by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, saying that there was “no equivalence” between that country’s actions and those of Hamas. Earlier today, the ICC issued a legal report in which a panel of international law experts supported a prosecutor’s conclusion that there […]

      This is the way war works. They shouldn’t have started a fight with a much bigger, more powerful neighbor. Force is the ultimate arbiter

        They started a fight? I guess every action by Israel prior to 7th October 2023 can be conveniently ignored, then?

            So you’re saying since the weaker party attacked a stronger one, they deserve the genocide performed to their people that had nothing to do with the attack?

              There’s collateral damage in wars. And when the cowards who started the war use civilian buildings as bases, and hide amongst civilians, it isn’t the other sides fault for the collateral damage that incurs.

              Also, it isn’t genocide

                There’s collateral damage, then there’s levelling cities, blocking aids to cause famine, bombing and raiding hospitals and lying about the presence of terrorists, shooting at civilians in the middle of the road, bombing ambulances, bombing journalists, bombing aid workers, etc. Just admit at this point that you’re just lying to justify a genocide because you hate Palestinians for some reason.

                  No, I just hate idiots who don’t understand how the world works. Might makes right in this world, no matter how much you kick and scream. The winners make the rules. Go protest against Hamas

                    Saying might makes right means you are defending genocide as long as the one doing it is the stronger party, got it.

                    Also, why would anyone protest against Hamas? My country does not support Hamas, so what would protesting against them even do? People protest against Israel because their countries are supporting them while they are indiscriminately killing civilians. Do you not even grasp such a basic concept?

                    Are you sure I’m the one that has no idea how the world works? Its not the one that can’t even deny any of the stuff I mentioned, but still wants to claim that no genocide is occurring?
