ira@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Amnesty International finds no evidence of military targets at Rafah sites targeted by Israel132·2 years agoI’m guessing Israel wasn’t bombing hostages. Although that guess has been wrong a lot.
“Even if Israeli forces had intended to target legitimate military objectives in the vicinity, these attacks evidently failed to distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and would therefore be indiscriminate,” Amnesty International said in the report. “Indiscriminate attacks that kill and injure civilians are war crimes.”

Now it’s “Bidenomics” says the economy’s great, why won’t you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden’s too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden’s had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden’s net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they’re scared of. Next thing you know, we’re going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.

ira@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Israel plans to evacuate Rafah, full of refugees, and attack HamasEnglish1·2 years agoRafah is pretty much the last place for people to go, that’s why 3/4ths of the population is there at this point. There aren’t any “safe zones”.
At this rate they’re going to be making Star Wars stuff without Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker.
Geez what’s next, a Breaking Bad show without Walter White or Jesse?

ira@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•President Biden holds country supplying weapons responsible for casualties inflicted by those weapons11·2 years agothe law doesn’t explain who gets to determine when a country is acting in self-defense
Literally the same exact reasoning Trump used to declare an “emergency” and divert funds to a border wall. Words are meaningless so I can do whatever I want!
Oh it gets even worse. This is what Biden’s offering in exchange for more money for the Gaza genocide and for Ukraine. A trifecta of shit.

ira@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Investigation disproves Israel claim of Hamas tunnel under Gaza hospital111·2 years agoNo, Al-Shifa was where Israel attacked the ambulance convoy and destroyed the hospital’s solar panels.
ira@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Investigation disproves Israel claim of Hamas tunnel under Gaza hospital231·2 years agoYou clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. The hospital you’re referring to is Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. And the “rocket” from the footage you’re referring to has been proven to have been an Iron Dome projectile.
Israel has also attacked Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Quds hospital, the Indonesian hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital, and the Qatari hospital described in the article.
ira@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•More than 10,000 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza in past month (0.49% of population)2·2 years agoA. The 1.5 million people have not “escaped” or been displaced “from Gaza”, they’ve been forced to move to different places in the Gaza Strip: shelters predominantly. There’s no ingress/egress from Gaza. It’s basically a giant open-air prison.
Israel erected a giant cage around the land boundary of the whole strip in 1993. There’s only 3 exits, all of which are closed: the Rafah crossing into Egypt, the Kerem Shalom crossing at the corner where Israel and Egypt touch, and the Erez crossing into Israel in the north.
Israel enforces a blockade of the shoreline, and a no fly zone. They destroyed Gaza’s airport in 2001.
B. “More than half” is doing some pretty heavy lifting. 1.5 million is closer to 75%.
C. 10,022 / 2,048,000 = 0.489355%. Since the post yesterday, Israel has killed another 283 people which brings it up to 10,305 / 2,048,000 = 0.503%.
The US didn’t propose a ceasefire yet. In response to this ceasefire proposal they’ve said they’re working on a draft for a proposal. With an indeterminate ceasefire of indeterminate length to start at an indeterminate date.
But strangely, once actual dates and times get proposed, they bring out the veto.
One could argue that it sure looks like they’re trying to muddy the waters and give Israel cover.
