#even with rockets exploding over my head I'm not okay with war crimes

[jewishvitya]

I'm not in the mood to argue, so I put the full post in the drafts, these are the first couple of paragraphs. Since people are so annoyed with me for standing by my anti-zionist views. Here's an example of why.

Israel's Minister of Defense talked about a stricter blockade on Gaza, a complete siege. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. He said "We're fighting human animals." This is the kind dehumanizing language that you'd see perpetuated by genocidal regimes. And it's not my first time hearing it.

You could argue that he means Hamas and not Palestinians as a whole, but, first of all, aiming dehumanizing language with plausible deniability is common practice when you want to avoid opening yourself to criticism. And second, we're punishing all people in Gaza, so they're all either guilty by association or they're acceptable casualties of this collective punishment.

Israel will boast surgical precision to its military, and then pull this off. Again, NO WATER. The people in Gaza won't be able to drink. What are we depriving Hamas of, in the name of self defense? Water guns?
