It also pointed out that the Israeli authorities denied access to 56% of humanitarian aid missions planned for northern Gaza (34 out of 61) and 25% of missions planned for the middle area (28 out of 114) in January. Since 26 January the number of trucks allowed to enter Gaza, an inadequate metric, never exceeded 218 and was typically below 150.

Waiting for the Zionists in the comments to explain how this is all Egypt or Hamas' fault somehow

They'll just downvote you. They have no arguments at all.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago

Remember when their propaganda went into overdrive when they hit a hospital and blamed Hamas? Then they blew up all 36 hospitals and just shrugged.

[-] febra@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Remember when they kept yapping about the Hamas command centre under the Al Shifa hospital? The hospital they’ve held for over two months now and have provided exactly zero proof that their statements were correct.

Or call you a hamas supporter/anti Semitic

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 8 points 8 months ago

They don’t come into anything but hypothetical arguments

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 29 points 8 months ago

No you don't get it Hamas lost a lot of Hamas due to Israel's super targeted military response and as a result they need flour to make more Hamas. Israel is cutting off Hamas's Hamas supply and it's not a war crime because human shields.

My favorite was everyone talking about these huge fuel reserves and how they knew they had them.

Yet no one ever blew those sons of bitches up

[-] filister@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

No no no, it is not Hamas, but Hummas

Did you know they hide their humans among humans?

Don't forget the right wing protesters who are preventing humanitarian aid to reach Gaza, which the Israeli government does very little about.

Seriously one would assume that since they are under investigation by the ICJ for committing of genocide in Gaza, Israeli authorities will be a little bit more concerned with their actions and public image, but they seem to act with impunity and believe they will get another pass by the western governments.

We sanctioned the shit out of Russia and did absolutely nothing here.

[-] irotsoma@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Russia is our enemy and Israel our ally and the US, especially the right wing, has been trying to delegitimize the UN for years, mostly so the corporations can keep selling weapons to both our own military as well as our allies. It's not like the sanctions against Russia were ever going to stop the war. They were just designed to give Ukraine a chance to prolong it and sell more weapons to the American people to give to Ukraine. Russia wanted a quick war and that wouldn't be good for business. With Israel, since they're looking to keep the war going until there are no more Muslims, we don't want anything to interfere with that.

its seems like israel is planning to run a trail of tears and then convert gaza into a metro resort. after thousands of years of assumed moral superiority, claiming to be the light leading humanity? its flabbergasting. its a good will bbq, and likely to fail anyway.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Israel isn't thousands of years old. The Israel that exists today was established in 1948. Israel doesn't have any claim to the Jews or their history, and the younger generations reject the state.

[-] nonailsleft@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

What made you assume they had any moral superiority?

[-] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 26 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Not just Israel, all the countries that defunded the humanitarian aid.

The article at least mentions that even though the order didn't demand ceasefire, it practically did very explicitly:

The State of Israel shall ... desist from the commission of any and all acts within the scope of Article II of the Convention, in particular:

(a) killing members of the group;

(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to the members of the group

Many western media had the headline "no ceasefire ordered" which made the order sound like it was nothing. The western media too is complicit in atrocity.

[-] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

The western media too is complicit in atrocity.

For the sake of profit they will light the spark that burns down the world and then blame us for forcing them to do it.

[-] cmeu@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

I think many of the people in Palestine felt betrayed that they did not use the words cease fire. When faced with this existential crisis, nothing less is acceptable.

The icj used language that practically meant cease fire, but mid east news expressed disappointment.

So I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you're admonishing "Western" media, but if that was the perspective you heard - No cease fire was called for - it probably accurately represents the sentiment of many of the people there.

The South Africans understood what the icj said, and their comments immediately following the decision illustrated that.

[-] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

You could be right but the way the media here works is that they do report the facts but bias them. The headline sets the tone, and how the article is written makes it more likely to come to one conclusion. So it would take much more work to make my point. But I'm pretty sure: Even if they do technically report the facts there is a huge bias to manipulate the population in the "free" press.

In this case something like "ooohh too bad the court didn't give the arabs what they wanted poor guys!" while it really was a legal victory - the court specifically ordered them to stop killing of palestinians.

I can't read newspapers without getting super angry lol

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
