I'll bite, so the genocide is not happening then? Israel is not murdering innocent civilians on a grand scale, be that by directly killing or by indirect ways of starving them out?

They leveled whole villages to ground and created "freely kill any citizen you see" zone. They made millions homeless. Like common.
> They leveled whole villages to ground and created "freely kill any citizen you see" zone. That's a rather strange way of describing evacuation zones which Israel announces to reduce civilian casualties. > They made millions homeless. When one starts a war, loses and then refuses to surrender or negotiate a peace deal...that's not exactly surprising.
Israel started that war, not civilians. I hope you are not suggesting what it implies.

#24I assume it was just another market manipulation play?
And if it does hold, what is his next move to cause even more massive price shocks? They won't let prices revert to where they were - it's just normal now to have some shock event to raise prices

> I'll bite, so the genocide is not happening then? Of course it's not genocide(I assume you're referring to Gaza like most others who make this claim), there is a war against an organization(Hamas) that embeds itself within a civilian population(which is a war crime). > Israel is not murdering innocent civilians on a grand scale, be that by directly killing or by indirect ways of starving them out?

Here is your evidence on mass starvation in Gaza. Shame on you. https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/07/1165517 https://www.who.int/news/item/22-08-2025-famine-confirmed-fo... https://www.redcross.org.uk/stories/disasters-and-emergencie...
There were food distribution issues prior to the ceasefire but even the UN(which is highly biased for various reasons) is not claiming there is currently any famine.[0]
Publicly available data shows that sufficient food is making it into Gaza to avoid mass starvation.

It's that anyone who is keeping count can see that the amount of Palestinian civilians that have been killed in this war is a very very large number.
Civilian deaths are in line with what would be expected for urban warfare with the enemy hiding amongst the civilian population. Obviously creating civilian deaths is part of the Hamas strategy.

These wars would only ever end if every force in the middle east that offers resistance to Israel's ambitions are defeated, but that resistance is both inevitable and offers the exact justification needed to implement said ambitions, its wonderfully circular. In Gaza they literally pulverized entire cities [1], making them uninhabitable, this isn't even really a war on terror by the western mainstream's standards, it…

Brilliant, any underground structure becomes a "terror tunnel", its wonderful you can level whole neighborhoods and afterwards claim it was justified because there were tunnels there. If that were true we would see gaps in the destruction in the satellite imagery wouldn't we? Or where they digging tunnels in grid patterns to every house in every neighborhood and under every street? What total moral bankruptcy to just blanked declare every civilian home and infrastructure as justifiable targets.
Anyway if we want Israel talking points uncritically parroted we can just read literally any newspaper so spare us your breath.

Should I read it as "immoral invasion"? Leaving aside whether it is or isn't, at least that framing makes sense, because you can meaningfully debate the morality of an invasion, but I can't understand how you could debate legality (except perhaps within the country's own internal framework of laws, like if a president declared a war without going through the proper legal channels).
