With fighting raging around Khan Younis and in the north of Gaza, a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.
Hamas has been more receptive of calls to adhere to humanitarian and international law than Israel is doing. In fact, Israel is committing the vast majority of these crimes now and on a much larger population of people.
Hamas were always open to a prisoner swap and a ceasefire. Israel is the one refusing to uphold UN resolutions.
So, we can safely conclude that Israel is genocidal and needs to go fuck itself and stop its human rights violations. They betrayed the ceasefire, they kept bombing and killing civilians to the last second before it started, several people in Gaza were killed by Israel during the truce and Hamas still held on and kept the ceasefire going.
Israel is the one spinning that wheel.
Israel birthed Hamas from their apartheid and oppression and will birth many more angry militant groups until they give Palestinians decency and human rights. There are no two ways about it. Anyone who knows jackshit about un-radicalizing a population knows too full well that bombing them create more radicalization (the Hydra effect)
“Hamas is the governing body in gaza and must also be bound by international law.” Yes, they should be arrested and put under trail, like germans generals and officers after WWII, some of them were hanged. To do that there are other ways.
“They must be held accountable for their actions and the actions of their elected leaders.” who are they? even children? Their leaders are in other places, like Qatar, why not carpet bombing there?
