6month and i am still waiting for the " #genocide", maybe #israel doesnt have the tools for a real #warcrime in #gaza, besides mistakenly bombing the wrong target? or maybe, there is no such thing intended? could it be, that israel just tries to destroy #hamas, which launches #rockets and hides itz #troops in #civil areas and causes the dead #civilians / #collateralDamage?
#hamasPropaganda #freeTheHostagesNow #freeGaza from hamas and #fightFascism! #amIsraelChai!
If you supply one warring party with weapons and ammunition and the other party with relief supplies for civilians. You symbolically send airplanes to drop bombs on the one hand and relief supplies on the other.

The campaign has also been supported by other media around the world.

For those who know little about the #MiddleEastConflict, Hamas' strategy seems very irrational. Sure, they have caused a lot of deaths on both sides, spread #fear and #terror, but they cannot win and now bear the #consequence of the #destruction of the #Gaza Strip.
What we have to keep in mind is that the #peace process (if it would be successful) would make Hamas obsolete. #Israel has recently moved diplomatically closer to Saudi Arabia. This does not please #Iran, which in no way wants its #enemy #SaudiArabia to be strengthened by peace with Israel. Iran, in the other hand, is Hamas's suspected main weapons supplier. Therefore, the American aircraft carrier at the coast of Israel makes sense. This is a sign to Iran, because the aircraft carrier is useless for the pacification of Gaza.
The question remains why the Israeli ground forces have not yet stepped forward and why the aircraft carrier is useless? Gaza has multiple levels of tunnels underground, and these tunnels contain command centers, weapons, and supplies. A battle in these tunnel systems would be very costly for the Israeli army. With airplanes and bombs you can bomb the Gaza Strip (which only hits the civilians) but not the tunnel system.
Which brings us back to the Hamas strategy:
1) Preventing the #peace process.
2) Spreading terror and fear in Israel.
3) Provoking the Israeli army to cause a lot of collateral damage in order to discredit it in the world press.
4) Activating sympathizers worldwide for the supposed Palestine cause.
5) Helping states like Iran and #Russia destabilize Western democracies.

What would happen if the #military wasn't just staffed by inhuman assholes who don't give a shit about #CollateralDamage? Then one would ask oneself if it is justifiable to kill a little girl who happens to be selling her bread next to a house with terrorists. Or else how to justify the death of the little girl for a higher goal. The debate seems somewhat hypocritical, as the US military has incinerated entire wedding parties with drones without consequence.
2) Drone - https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/452068-drone
Aren't #drone #pilots who intervene in war far from the front lines also #war participants and therefore legitimate targets in a #conflict. What happens if the other side attacks these pilots while they are at home with their families after their 8-hour shift?
3) Eye on Juliet - https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/471514-eye-on-juliet
He uses drones to protect a pipeline on another continent. In the process, he witnesses how a beautiful young woman is to be forcibly married. He falls in love with her and helps her escape with the drones. If you don't think outside the box, this is a #love story. But how creepy is it really? If he were an old geezer, he'd be a stalker, and besides, he's misusing the drones for his purpose. Apart from that, the drones #kill people who approach the pipeline.

#FaceTheHorror "A war, is when two sides are fighting... so i think right there... we can all agree... it wasnt exactly a war." -- Bill Hicks.
"You must remember that the attack on Iraq, although presented as a war, it was not a war. It was so one sided, and it became an attack on the civilian population. The most vivid, and probably the most educative, revelation, was collateral murder." -- John Pilger

Will Blair's words unkill the 100,000 Iraqi civilians? No. The Judeo-Anglo-American elites wanted the inevitable #terrorism, so it could be brought to the West & function as a tool for the erosion of Westerner's #rights & the implementation of the #surveillance state. Westerner's didn't even get cheap energy from Iraq, it was a massive transfer of wealth from taxpayers to plutocratic elites & their political puppets. Mass murderer #Blair is a multimillionaire with multiple homes; he's warm in #winter.

The United States, #France and the United Kingdom called a closed-door #Security Council meeting on the drones after an #attack on #Kyiv on Monday that killed at least five people, and caused widespread damage to power stations and other civilian infrastructure.
It's amazing that the U.S. bombed away entire wedding parties with its own drones and then called that collateral damage.

Ah, no worries, Americans are the good guys, they are our friends. A few (100, 1000, million) collateral damage is nothing to make their food less tasty or their marriage less good.
Those killed by them deserved to die, either because of their actions or just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, or simply because they were born in the place US pilots enjoy dropping bomb at.
#NATO lovers be happy, these are your "Top Gun" heroes.
The two March 2019 airstrikes took place near the town of #Baghuz and were ordered by a classified special operations unit, Task Force 9, which was in charge of ground operations in Syria and operated largely in #secret. The airstrike amounted to one of the largest incidents involving #civilian casualties in the war against Islamic State, but the U.S. military never acknowledged it. What’s more, military officials seemed to go through as much trouble as possible to keep the death toll under wraps even as shocked officers called for investigations.

The evidence suggests that his travels that day actually involved transporting colleagues to and from work. And an analysis of video feeds showed that what the military may have seen was Mr. #Ahmadi and a colleague loading canisters of water into his trunk to bring home to his family.
While the U.S. military said the drone strike might have killed three civilians, Times reporting shows that it killed 10, including seven children, in a dense residential block.

Published on the 20th #anniversary of 9/11, this is a series of reported essays describing how the attacks that day and the “war on terror” that followed changed the lives of people outside the United States. Nearly 1 million people have died in #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Pakistan, #Syria and #Yemen as a result of these post-9/11 wars, according to the Costs of #War project at Brown University. The wars have displaced 38 million people from these countries, as well as #Libya, the #Philippines and #Somalia.

Under #Bush, there were 3 targeting killing orders by drone per month. With #Obama the drone war escalated but Trump increased that. Under #Trump, there were 3 targeting killings per day. The #Biden #administration does not release statistics on drone #warfare.
According to international law, assassinations with drones outside armed conflicts are considered war crimes.

Documents showed that, of the 200 people killed between January 2012 and February 2013, only 35 were the intended targets. During one five-month period, nearly 90% of those killed were innocents, who were nonetheless classified as “enemies killed in action.”

On May 16, Israeli airstrikes destroyed three apartment buildings, decimating several families. We visited the scene, interviewed survivors and analyzed videos, photos and satellite images to find out what happened.
