@virtuallaughing I made it abundantly clear that I consider what happens in Gaza a genocide, and Netanjahu a war criminal.

Apparently, there seems to be a problem when I call Hamas an organization of war criminals that would perform a genocide if they had the means.

Netanjahu and Hamas are two different sides of the same hateful nationalistic fascistic coin. And I refuse to side with one of them.

@virtuallaughing You might also want to come up with an explanation of how the murder of 1.100 Jewish civilians is not collective punishment in the above sense. Go on, take your time, I'll wait.

@andreasdotorg @virtuallaughing International law does not consider the killing of occupying military members, as murder. So, you will have to adjust your death count there, because many of those killed by Hamas on Oct. 7 were active duty military. Also, many of the civilians killed, were killed by the IDF, or by non-Hamas armed resistance. Can you produce a more accurate count of how many deaths on October 7 were civilians killed illegally by an armed resistance, who are legally fighting against their own annihilation?

"The final death toll from the attack is now thought to be 695 Israeli civilians, including 36 children, as well as 373 security forces and 71 foreigners, giving a total of 1,139."

Add sexual violence on top of that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_in_the_7_October_Hamas-led_attack_on_Israel

The idea that any of that is covered by international law or morally right is ludicruous.

Israel social security data reveals true picture of Oct 7 deaths

A more precise picture of Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel has emerged from social security data, confirming the unprecedented scale of the violence but also challenging some initial testimonies.

@andreasdotorg @bbhorne "The Bituah Leumi data does not distinguish between those killed by Hamas and civilians killed by Israeli forces in the fighting to retake control of southern Israel, an operation in which the army used shells and rockets on inhabited areas"
