    Would love to see this used in future headlines. “Most moral army in the world kills civilians hiding in a church” or “Most moral army in the world bombs refugee camp” or maybe most poignantly, “Most moral army in the world convicted of genocide”

      Unfortunately the ICJ has no enforcement mechanism. The upshot is that the ICC does, and they’re investigating the conflict as well.

        Main benefit is putting pressure on allies, especially the US, to stop sending weapons etc. Israel might not give a fuck but the US does. I think that’s why Israel is worried about the whole thing.

          JT always goes like a gnat’s dick away from flat out slaughtering a fuck ton of people but always finds an excuse to pull out at the last second.

        The ICC is also not a UN body and, notably, lacks the membership of the most powerful geopolitical players (the USA, China, Russia, India) as well as much of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

        It’s useless.

    If you’ve been called before a Genocide hearing, you don’t have a moral army. Full stop.

    Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Gazans who are starving to death as a result of the actions of the Israeli army.

    “Most moral army in the world?”

    That doesn’t even make sense. Just going full trumpian, not only am I not guilty of what you accuse me off, I am the most opposite of that in the entire world. It’s about as believable for them as it is when Trump says it. What on earth is their strategy here? I mean rhetorical question I guess, strategy is just spewing BS it seems.

      Maybe people have seen what all this fake news bullshit has done. Now you can just tell any lie you want, and anyone who says otherwise is fake or a lie.

    Most moral army before and during the war for real. If morals were child murder.

    The most moral army in the world? They use the Hannibal protocols, which say to kill hostages so long as you kill your enemy.

    They are blood thirsty monsters.

    1. looks like Israel has hired Peskow
    2. of course it’s genocide
    3. one evil does not cancel another but wtf was Hamas thinking? What did they think would happen? It’s almost like they wanted exactly this.

      I mean, if they did want exactly this, then they succeeded in opening the eyes of many blind israel supporters. I already knew israel were assholes, but I know much more now. Fuck israel. They’ve lost the support of young people in the West. They are running out of time to conduct their genocide.

      This was always what Israel was going to do, either quickly or slowly. Perhaps in making it happen quickly someone might notice.

      Removing comments simply because your don’t like them is not moderation. It’s just Reddit style power tripping. I am genuinely curious what exactly you did not like, though.

        I got a temp ban and my comment removed on the ml world news community a few months ago for saying something similar to you. That Hamas shares some responsibility for the deaths of Palestinians because Israel’s response would be so predictable.
