....
Anyway the ICJ has ordered Israel to cease theory action in Rafah.

I hope that it has some effect.

Sadly, not looking like it

And no, though they will cite the Hamas rocket attacks as the provocation.

You mean similar to how the claims about Hamas beheading babies were treated by posters on here?

JeremyP along with Biden and various others swallowed the Israeli first responder lies about Hamas beheading Israeli babies, and the useful idiot JeremyP has been repeating that Israeli propaganda on here. I don't recall you advising anyone to be careful about believing those claims.

Given that Israeli officials have admitted taking part in terrorist acts and justified their terrorism, and been caught out blatantly lying when they have been exterminating Palestinians for the past 70 years, only someone simple-minded would believe their "precise and surgical.....gold standard of urban warfare....not a single civilian casualty" nonsense. So probably JeremyP believes it ::).

Not surprising that there has been acts of terrorism in response to Israeli terrorism and military occupation.

Oh and NS I'm still waiting for you to provide a quote where I have justified Hamas terrorism.

You're full of tedious ad-hominems when other people post statements they can't provide evidence to back up, but strangely quiet when you get caught out posting statements you have not provided evidence for. Careful, your hypocrisy is showing.

I am not seeing any contrition here? Calling something a "tragic mishap" is Netanyahu saying it's a tragic mishap for Israeli PR.

If you think he means it's tragic for the Palestinians or that Israel really is taking "every precaution possible" to protect civilians caught up in the fighting in Gaza, I can put you in touch with a prince in Nigeria with a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity for you.

You do realise Netanyahu is up on charges for corruption - lying for self-interest comes as easy to him as breathing.

You do realise that it was because I was expecting none at all, and even calling it tragic was more than I was expecting.

He meant it was a tragic mishap for Israel's PR and for the Zionist lobby - they will have to work a bit harder to try to supress criticism of Israel by rolling out the antisemitism soundbites, maybe pay a bit more money to oil the PR machinery, and schmooze more politicians.

He probably also meant it was a tragic mishap for him as he will have to listen to a Biden lecture on not publicly exterminating Palestinians as the negative publicity could hamper Biden's chances of re-election.

It's actually a bit "tragic" for those of us having to listen to the Zionist lobby here and in the US endlessly drone on trying to milk every ounce of "trauma" out of feeling "intimidated" by marches protesting Israel's bombing and mass starvation of Palestinian civilians. It's evidence of how much the Zionist lobby has dehumanised Palestinians and think the Palestinians should just disappear. 

Got to hand it to those Jews here and in the US who are whinging about themselves and trying to compare their experiences in the UK now to what Jews genuinely suffered under Hitler and the Holocaust - the Jews who are whinging now certainly don't lack chutzpah as they claim to feel "intimidated" by protests against Israeli war crimes and genocide. Meanwhile civilians in Palestine are getting blown up, having their homes, hospitals and schools blown up, and are being denied food and humanitarian aid.

No doubt you have seen the interviews between Piers Morgan and the Palestinian doctor and satirist Bassem Youssef https://youtu.be/4idQbwsvtUo?si=ahf6xzfPS9e7xgRm who covers the hypocrisy much better than I ever could.

UN adds Israel to global list of offenders that harm children.

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/07/middleeast/un-israel-global-list-children-intl-latam/index.html

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were also added to the list, according to a diplomatic source, along with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Of course the Israeli government made it all about them and their PR rather than thinking about the children. Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan recorded a video of himself making a phone call from his office, apparently to a UN official, and leaked part of it on social media.

Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian envoy to the UN, said adding the IDF to the list  "will not bring back tens of thousands of our children who were killed by Israel over decades and will not restore normal life for the children who were permanently disabled by its actions."

"....it is an important step in the right direction towards ending the double standards and the culture of impunity Israel has enjoyed for far too long and that left our children vulnerable to its consequences.”

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/report-cites-sexual-violence-by-israeli-forces-and-palestinian-militants/a2145563864.html

UN-backed human rights experts have reported that Israeli forces and Palestinian militants engaged in sexual and gender-based violence during the first months of the Israel-Hamas war.

Both Israel and Hamas deny the allegations.
