"I've got morons on my team." Mitt Romney Minor Deity |
So much for caring about Palestinian babies ... Civilians are just props for the stage on which Hamas's leadership is acting out its political dance of death. | |||

Apparently, Netanyahu quoted the Old Testament passage about genocide in public, thereby expressing his intent. Apparently, other government and military leaders have done the same. | |||

Newest map. Al Shifa hospital complex now behind the lines, with Israeli troops attempted to clear it. Again, please shrink this down. (wtg here...) Resized image: Original image: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-...t=jpg&name=4096x4096 | |||

Yemen's Iran-proxy Houthis keep firing missiles at Israel (and at US ships). One wonders how long before the Saudis positively invite Israeli aircraft to use precision JDAMs to ... ah, severely degrade the Houthi leadership. | |||

What was our goal after 9/11? What happened to Germany in World War II? If you start a war … particularly, by massacring, raping, and kidnapping civilians … you’d better prepared for consequences. And, if you hide behind civilians … well, the Geneva Conventions are pretty clear about that. | |||

All this hand-wringing over what the Israelis are doing, when they are light years ahead morally in the way they conduct operations. The Gazan casualties are the direct result of Hamas manipulation and exploitation. Hamas wants the highest possible body counts.

Israel takes over Al Shifa hospital. Story in the Times of Israel I will wait for more detail, but I think we can safely glean from this that the hospital is now in Israeli hands, and it should be able to return to doing what hospitals are supposed to do. | |||

Maybe I wasn't clear. Their words showed intent to violate the Geneva Conventions. | |||

Maybe I wasn't clear. You are 100% wrong. If a group starts a war and then tries to hide behind civilians, attacking that group is not a violation of the Geneva Conventions, even if it puts civilians at risk. No matter what Bible verses are quoted. | |||

No. Sorry. | |||

That is not an analytical response. It’s reflexive. PD posted the link to this earlier. It’s the analytical framework under the Geneva Coventions. It’s long, but I’ll copy it for anyone who didn’t click through.

And then there’s this, which was posted on Twitter by the European correspondent for an Israeli podcast:

What’s so remarkable is how low the Gazan casualties are, considering. Even if you take the Hamas numbers at face value. I don’t feel like googling the most recent number, but at about the 5 week mark Hamas claimed 10k dead. The IDF had earlier said it dropped 6k bombs in the first week alone. Now I’m sure the bombing rate varies over time, but surely they were at least up to 20k bombs by the 5 week mark. If so that’s a half a human death per bomb. That shows remarkable precision considering Hamas uses human shields as a general practice. And of course Hamas doesn’t report Hamas deaths, just a total number. So that’s half a human death per bomb even though many of those bombs were specifically sent to kill specific individuals.
