Jeste, hamasovci nemaju preča posla nego da čekaju UN-ovo osoblje da im predaju taoce i oružje i otprate ih do izraelskog zatvora ako ih trigger-happy izraelski vojnici ne postreljaju pri predaji kao onu trojicu nesrećnih jevrejskih talaca, toliko je to prosto.

 

Ovde neki uporno žmure nad vrlo očiglednom činjenicom da je moguće olakšati položaj palestinskih civila (npr. otvaranjem onog prelaza većeg kapaciteta preko koga se pomoć dostavljala do ovog rata, omogućavanjem civilima da uz trijažu pređu na očišćenu teritoriju na kojoj će im se garantovati bezbednost i omogućiti uspostavljanje osnovne infrastrukture - struje i vode uz dostavu adekvatne količine humanitarne pomoći), a da se nimalo ili zanemarljivo malo ugrozi borba protiv Hamasa.

Expand  

Obrati se Egiptu koji je odbio prelazak civila kod njih. Hamasovci nemaju preca posla, pa ok. Imali su preca posla kad su ubijali I silovali u Izraelu. A oni stite taoce da ih trigger happy izraelska vojska ne ubije...

Kao sto rekoh, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. 

Ispada da je Izrael odgovoran za to sto su hamasovci uradili, izrael treba da se brine o civilima... da nisi mozda propustio, a pratis na svim drustvenim mrezama, intervju sa devojkom koja je bila oteta, Mia. Sta kaze? Civili su je drzali u zarobljenistvu. 

Neznam ko ovde zmuri na cinjenice, da ni UN niti vecina civila u Gazi, ne zeli da Hamas odgovara za zlocine. 

Nije IDF uleteo u Gazu, da masakrira civile. Bukvalno 6og oktobra izraelu nije padalo na pamet da se bavi Gazom.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that 70% of all Gaza homes and about half of all its buildings have been either damaged or destroyed due to Israeli airstrikes during its war with the Hamas terror organization.
The report states that Gaza contained about 439 thousand homes. (...)
Buildings destroyed, the WSJ claims, include "Byzantine churches and ancient mosques, factories and apartment buildings, shopping malls and luxury hotels, theaters and schools." Furthermore, the infrastructure used for water, healthcare, electricity, and healthcare is "beyond repair."
The WSJ's extensive report also mentioned the health services in the Gaza Strip and claimed that most of the hospitals in the Gaza Strip are closed, with only 8 out of 36 hospitals receiving patients. It also stated that more than two-thirds of the schools in Gaza were damaged, and many orchards, greenhouses, and agricultural areas were "completely wiped out."

Izrael je ratni okupator palestinskih teritorija već decenijama.

 

To što se tebi ne sviđa što ga UN i najrelevantnije međunarodne organizacije smatraju okupatorom na svim teritorijama koje okupira direktnim vojnim prisustvom ili ih drži pod blokadom i u njih upada po nahođenju, ne znači da nije tako.

Gde se Židovi i Arapi mirno udružuju

 

Ostrvo zajedništva usred mora besa i straha: U osnovnoj školi Hagar u Be'er Ševi na jugu Izraela, jevrejska i arapska deca uče ono što se čini nemogućim na drugim mestima.

Odmah iza ulaza u školsku zgradu postavili su kartonsku kutiju, na njemu su ispisane dve izraelske zastave, a oko nje leži nekoliko fotografija. "Mi to zovemo kutkom empatije", kaže Avital Benšalom. Svaki učenik može da baci pismo u kutiju o svemu što im gori na umu. "Pišu pisma vojnicima ili porodicama u Gazi."

Ovde se bacaju poruke podrške za ljude sa obe strane fronta: za pripadnike izraelske vojske koji se bore protiv Hamasa od terorističkog napada u pojasu Gaze 7. oktobra; i za palestinske civile, za koje je ovaj rat, koji se vodi već skoro tri meseca, katastrofa. To je rat u kome se ljudi sa obe strane povlače u bolu zbog sopstvene patnje, sopstvenih žrtava, u svoj ekskluzivni narativ. Šta se gubi u procesu: moć saosećanja za drugu stranu.

Israel should discuss the revival of civilian settlements within the Gaza Strip as part of its planning for the enclave once Hamas rule is toppled, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Saturday night, while denying that any of Gaza’s approximately 2 million residents were innocent and calling for Israel to “encourage voluntary emigration” from the territory.

Speaking to Channel 12 news, the leader of the hard-right Religious Zionism party also doubled down on his refusal to transfer tax payments to the Palestinian Authority over concerns that the  money will find its way to Gaza, sloughing off reported pressure from the United States on the matter and pushing back against insinuations that he and others had propped up Hamas as a convenient foil.

“We will be in security control, and we will need there to be civil [control],” Smotrich said. “I’m for completely changing the reality in Gaza, having a conversation about settlements in the Gaza Strip… We’ll need to rule there for a long time… If we want to be there militarily, we need to be there in a civilian fashion.”

Under pressure from Smotrich, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday canceled a scheduled war cabinet debate on shaping post-war Gaza, and said he would hold the discussion instead in the larger security cabinet. Smotrich is not a member of the tight-knit war cabinet, but he and fellow far-right leader Itamar Ben Gvir, minister of national security, do sit in the security cabinet.

Israel withdrew its military and settlers from Gaza in 2005 after a 38-year occupation, and Netanyahu has said it does not intend to maintain a permanent presence again, but that Israel would maintain security control for an indefinite period.

Brad Simpson (bradleyrsimpson.bsky.social) @bradleyrsimpson
As a historian who has researched and studied genocide in places like Indonesia and Timor Leste, I am deeply aware of the difficulties of determining when it seems clear that genocidal violence is unfolding. The Israeli annihilation of Gaza clearly meets that threshold. In most genocides there is an information vacuum, and details trickle out because of the difficulties of reporting in real time and placing events in context. Even in well publicized genocides - Rwanda, Bosnia - reporters and diplomats were behind the curve in grasping events. In East Timor and Indonesia, which I have studied well, a handful of voices characterized what was happening at the time as genocide (or politicide), but it took months or years before the international or scholarly community would generally acknowledge this.

The Israeli annihilation of Gaza may be the first episode in history of genocide unfolding in real time, in full view of the world, with the perpetrators proudly announcing their intentions every day, and other governments proudly trumpeting their participation. The South African petition to the international criminal court will expose the total bankruptcy of international law, since the most powerful country in the history of the world is an open accomplice and has already announced that the perpetrators will get away with it. It’s revealing that critics here refuse to acknowledge the hundreds of genocide and Holocaust scholars, including many prominent Israelis, describing Israel’s destruction of Gaza in precisely these terms. Nor do they show basic familiarity with actual scholarship on genocide.

Statement of Scholars in Holocaust and Genocide Studies on Mass Violence in Israel and Palestine since 7 October

December 9, 2023

We, scholars of the Holocaust, genocide, and mass violence, feel compelled to warn of the danger of genocide in Israel’s attack on Gaza. We also note that, should the Israeli attack continue and escalate, Palestinians under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Palestinian citizens of Israel face grave danger as well.

We are deeply saddened and concerned by the mass murder of over 1,200 Israelis and migrant workers by Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and others on 7 October, with more than 830 civilians among them. We also note the evidence of gender-based and sexual violence during the attack, the wounding of thousands of Israelis, the destruction of Israeli kibbutzim and towns, and the abduction of more than 240 hostages into the Gaza Strip. These acts constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. We recognize that violence in Israel and Palestine did not begin on 7 October. If we are to try to understand the mass murder of 7 October, we should place it within the context of Israeli settler colonialism, Israeli military occupation violence against Palestinians since 1967, the sixteen-year siege on the Gaza Strip since 2007, and the rise to power in Israel in the last year of a government made up of politicians who speak proudly about Jewish supremacy and exclusionary nationalism. Explaining is not justifying, and this context in no way excuses the targeting of Israeli civilians and migrant workers by Palestinians on 7 October.

We are also deeply saddened and concerned by the Israeli attack on Gaza in response to the Hamas attack. Israel’s assault has caused death and destruction on an unprecedented level, according to a New York Times article on 26 November. In two months, the Israeli assault has killed more than 16,000 Palestinians (with thousands more buried under the rubble)—nearly half of them children and youth, with a Palestinian child killed every ten minutes on average before the ceasefire—and wounded over 40,000. Considering that the total population of Gaza stands at 2.3 million people, the killing rate so far is about 0.7 percent in less than two months. The killing rate of civilians in Russia’s bombing and invasion of Ukraine in the areas most affected by the violence are probably similar—but over a longer period of time. A number of experts have therefore described Israel’s attack on Gaza as the most intense and deadliest of its kind since World War II, but while Russia’s attack on Ukraine has, for very good reason, prompted western leaders to support the people under attack, the same western leaders now support the violence of the Israeli state rather than the Palestinians under attack.

Israel has also forcibly displaced more than 1.8 million Palestinians within the Gaza Strip, while destroying almost half of all buildings and leaving the northern part of the Strip an “uninhabitable moonscape.” Indeed, the Israeli army has dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives on Gaza since 7 October, which is equivalent to two Hiroshima bombs, and according to Human Rights Watch, deployed white phosphorous bombs. It has systematically targeted hospitals, schools, universities, mosques, churches, bakeries, and agricultural fields. The state has also killed many essential professionals, including more than 220 healthcare workers, over 100 UN personnel, and dozens of journalists. The forced displacement has, furthermore, created in the southern part of the Strip severe overcrowding, with the risk of outbreak of infectious diseases, exacerbated by shortages of food, clean water, fuel, and medical supplies, due to Israel’s “total siege” measures since 7 October.

The unprecedented level of destruction and killing points to large-scale war crimes in Israel’s attack on Gaza. There is also evidence of a “widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack” that the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines as a crime against humanity. Moreover, dozens of statements of Israeli leaders, ministers in the war cabinet, and senior army officers since 7 October—that is, people with command authority—suggest an “intent to destroy” Palestinians “as such,” in the language of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The statements include depictions of all Palestinians in Gaza as responsible for the Hamas attack on 7 October and therefore legitimate military targets, as expressed by Israeli President Herzog on 13 October and by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu when he invoked, on 29 October, the Biblical story of the total destruction of Amalek by the Israelites, just as Israel began its ground invasion. Casting an entire civilian population as enemies marks the history of modern genocide, with the Armenian genocide (1915-1918) and the Rwanda genocide (1994) as well-known examples. The statements also include dehumanizing language, such as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s reference to “human animals” when he proclaimed “total siege” on Gaza on 9 October. The slippage between seeing Hamas as “human animals” to seeing all Palestinians in Gaza in this way is evident in what Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian promised to people in Gaza the next day: “Hamas has turned into ISIS, and the residents of Gaza, instead of being appalled, are celebrating. … Human animals must be treated as such. There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.”

These expressions of intent need to be understood also in relation to the widespread incitement to genocide in Israeli media since 7 October. Israeli journalist David Mizrachi Wertheim, for instance, wrote on social media on 7 October that “If all the captives are not returned immediately, then turn the [Gaza] Strip into a slaughterhouse. If a hair falls from their head – execute security prisoners. Violate all norms on the way to victory.” He also added, “we are facing human animals.” Four days later, another Israeli journalist, Roy Sharon, commented on social media “that if, in order to finally eliminate the military capabilities of Hamas, including Sinwar and Deif, we need a million bodies, then let there be a million bodies.” Annihilatory language now also appears in public spaces, such as banners on bridges in Tel Aviv that call “to annihilate Gaza” and explain that “the picture of triumph is 0 people in Gaza.” There are dozens of examples of incitement in Israeli media, which recalls the incitement to genocide in Rwanda as genocide was unfolding there in 1994.

This incitement points to the grave danger that Palestinians everywhere under Israeli rule now face. Israeli army and settler violence in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, which has intensified markedly from the beginning of 2023, has entered a new stage of brutality after 7 October. Sixteen Palestinian communities—over a thousand people—have been forcibly displaced in their entirety, continuing the policy of “ethnic cleansing” in Area C that comprises 60 percent of the West Bank. Israeli soldiers and settlers have furthermore killed more than 220 Palestinians in the West Bank since 7 October, while arresting thousands. The violence against Palestinians also includes acts of torture.

Palestinian citizens of Israel—almost 2 million people—are also facing a state assault against them, with hundreds of arrests since 7 October for any expression of identification with Palestinians in Gaza. There is widespread intimidation and silencing of Palestinian students, faculty, and staff in Israeli universities, and the Israeli Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai threatened to expel to Gaza Israeli Palestinians identifying with Palestinians in Gaza. These alarming developments and measures build on a view of Palestinian citizens of Israel as potential enemies that stretches back to the military rule imposed on the 156,000 Palestinians who survived the Nakba and remained within the territory that became Israel in 1948. This iteration of military rule lasted until 1966, but the image of Israeli Palestinians as a threat has persisted. In May 2021, as many Israeli Palestinians came out to protest an attack on Palestinians in East Jerusalem and another attack on Gaza, the Israeli police responded with massive repression and violence, arresting hundreds. The situation deteriorated quickly, as Jewish and Palestinian citizens clashed across Israel—in some places, as in Haifa, with Jewish citizens attacking Palestinian citizens on the streets and breaking into houses of Palestinian citizens. And now, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right settler who serves as Israeli minister of national security, has put Israeli Palestinians in even more danger by the distribution of thousands of weapons to Israeli civilians who have formed hundreds of self-defense units after 7 October.

The escalating violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the exclusion and violence against Palestinian citizens of Israel are particularly worrying in the context of calls in Israel after 7 October for a “second Nakba.” The reference is to the massacres and “ethnic cleansing” of more than 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction of hundreds of villages and towns by Israeli forces in the 1948 war, when Israel was established. The language that member of the Israeli Knesset (parliament) Ariel Kallner from the ruling Likud party used in a social media post on 7 October is instructive: “Nakba to the enemy now. … Now, only one goal: Nakba! Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 1948. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to whoever dares to join [them].” We know that genocide is a process, and we recognize that the stage is thus set for violence more severe than the Nakba and not spatially limited to Gaza.

Thus, the time for concerted action to prevent genocide is now. We call on governments to uphold their legal obligations under the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to intervene and prevent genocide (Article 1) by (1) implementing an arms embargo on Israel; (2) working to end Israel’s military assault on Gaza; (3) pressuring the Israeli government to stop immediately the intensifying army and settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which constitute clear violations of international law; (4) demanding the continued release of all hostages held in Gaza and all Palestinians imprisoned unlawfully in Israel, without charges or trial; (5) calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate and issue arrest warrants against all perpetrators of mass violence on 7 October and since then, both Palestinians and Israelis; and (6) initiating a political process in Israel and Palestine based on a truthful reckoning with Israeli mass violence against Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba and a future that will guarantee the equality, freedom, dignity, and security of all the people who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

We also call on businesses and labor unions to ensure that they do not aid and abet Israeli mass violence, but rather follow the example of workers in Belgium transport unions who refused in late October to handle flights that ship arms to Israel.

Finally, we call on scholars, programs, centers, and institutes in Holocaust and Genocide Studies to take a clear stance against Israeli mass violence and join us in efforts to stop it and prevent its further escalation.

Izrael je povukao 5 brigada iz Gaze. Utisak je da je nivo operacija opao unazad dve nedelje no situaciju na severu se polako rešava. 

 

Jedna interesantna vesta je da je od 170 poginulih izraelskih vojnika 29 poginulo od "prijateljske vatre" a od toga 18 od direktne paljbe po njima. To je objašnjenje zašto se Ukrajinci onoliko oblepljuju selotepom, u odsudnom trenutku kada naiđete na nekog koga ne očekujete prečesto je prst brži od mozga. Možda je vreme da se svet vrati na uniforme iz 19. veka i ranije kada su manje više svi imali različite uniforme. Sa pojavom dronova kamuflaža igra sve manju i manju ulogu tako da pitanje je koliko to više ima smisla osim za možda neke specijalne jedinice koje idu iza linija odbrane neprijatelja.

Pa tehnologija je uznapredovala od 1945, normalno je da bude vise unisten. A iima i vise terorista Hamasa integrisanih u gradu nego sto je bilo pripadnika vermahta i SS u Drezdenu. Gaza je zapravo legitimnija meta nego Drezden 1945, cije bombardovanje nije imalo vise poseban znacaj.

Drezden je bio britanska osveta, nije tu bilo nikakve vojske, samo civila, uglavnom izbeglica.

 

Izrael inace sprema optuznicu protiv Hamasa, bice to najveci posleratni proces ( od Ajhmana do danas)

tako da ce Hamas gospoda morati verovatno da begaju na recimo Borneo.

 

Takav se uzasan zlocin u novije vreme nije nigde dogodio i to mora da se procesuira jer se ovde ne radi o klasicnim

psihopatama nego o planiranju, unistavanju, ponizenju i to na najstrasniji nacin ( bacanje zive dece u vatru, secenje

polnih organa i dojki, silovanja do smrti) a za to sve postoje materijalni dokazi u vidu 200.000 slika i snimaka i izjave

oko 3000 svedoka, ocevidaca. Logistiku i taktiku smislio je onaj sto mu je oduzeta zemlja pa kao siroma zivi u Kataru

u najskupljem hotelu sa svoje trinaestoro dece.

Jedna stvar je sigurna a to je da ce jevreji u svetu biti omrazeni mnogo vise nego sto su do sada bili, ovo unistenje Gaze i civila tamo kao osveta ostavlja tragove u ljudima , ja vidim po ovima oko mene koji su ranije bili ravnodusni ili vise naklonjeni jevrejima ako su uopste pravili neku razliku sada kazu da ne mogu da ih vide ocima niti da cuju za njih. Netanijahu ce da ode ali nisam sigurna koliko ce to da pomogne. Zlocin Hamasa je trajao nekih sedam sati a ubijanje civila tamo traje i traje.
