For total count maybe, but they have never made a distinction between their own soldiers and civilians. They want the 25k number misinterpreted as a civilian death count, and have largely succeeded.
This doesn't seem to have been picked up by any major news channels in the last 6 days. The claim is Israel murdered 50+ people on the major coastal road in Gaza with quadcopter-mounted guns and a tank, but cites 3 anonymous sources and has no photos or evidence.
If true this ought to be a major story, but I can't even find an Israeli counter narrative. Did this actually happen?
I mean ok I guess, although I see a man defending his wife from attacks rather than defending her right to plagiarize. From the article it was 2 quotes in a 300 page dissertation, and they're not contesting it. The scales of the plagiarism are wildly different, his wife isn't in academia, and afaik he had no idea about it at the time, so none of this has any bearing on president Gay's rightful dismissal.
Is Bill Ackman's wife also the dean of a prestigious university? If so she should probably also be investigated. If not I don't see how this is relevant.
Top tech talent could suddenly apply to any job instead of the few nearby companies, exploding their options. If anything, even remote companies should send Korean BBQ to each employee's house.
Because the best performing employees will leave for more money in other remote roles, dumping a ton of work on the remaining workers who are either a) mediocre, or b) incompetent extroverts who can't wait to spend all day talking about fantasy football with a captive audience.
Military service is compulsory in Israel. You might as well call all Vietnam veterans terrorists and revel in their capture. Absolutely sickening take.
Yup that's bad and I appreciate the source, thanks. The devil's advocate counterpoint would be that virtually all nations have intelligence "concepts" for wildly implausible actions they have no intention of pursuing. It's kind of the job of the intelligence agency to prepare for any potential eventuality. I'm pretty sure the US has detailed plans for war with Canada, should they be needed. Egypt is the country who originally locked the Gaza Strip down - there is next to zero chance Israel could force a resettlement in Egypt. But if they made an actual attempt, it would be ethnic cleansing. At that point, should the US government continue support, this case would actually have merit.
I'm well aware of the history and parallels with Jewish ghettos. These are somewhat confounded by repeated rejected offers of a two-state solution over 70 years, periods on unilateral Israeli withdrawal, the election of Hamas, decades of terror attacks on Israeli civilians with popular support, and a recent 9/11 scale massacre which also has popular support.
Also not to nitpick, but Israel didn't create or design the Gaza strip. That was Egypt, who controlled it for 20 years without giving them citizenship or letting them leave.
I understand that you may have come in looking for a wider discussion, but this thread has always been about the genocide lawsuit and the civilian casualty counts, both of which clearly refer to Gaza, not the West Bank. It sounds like any discussion of the facts on the ground constitutes "minimizing ethnic cleansing" in your book, which indicates that you're approaching this with a closed mind. Have a nice day.
