"Disproportionate force" 19:24 - Dec 16 with 1287 views | BanksterDebtSlave | It's literally a stated policy and doctrine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahiya_doctrine#:~:text=The%20Dahiya%20doctrine% The Dahiya doctrine, or Dahya doctrine,[1] is a military strategy of asymmetric warfare, outlined by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot, which encompasses the destruction of the civilian infrastructure of regimes deemed to be hostile as a measure calculated to pressure combatants,[2] and endorses the employment of "disproportionate force" (compared to the amount of force used by the enemy[3][4]) to secure that end.[5] | |

Strangely enough it was the non political stuff that nearly caught me out! | |

It's almost like the IDF have dehumanised 'the enemy' to such an extent that they will just execute anything that moves. | |

Was exactly my thoughts, how can you claim you are targeting Hamas when you are indiscriminately shooting at people ? Meanwhile support for Hamas has tripled in the West Bank as a result of this massacre, just need a ceasefire now and some constructive dialogue -unlikely I know. | |

"Disproportionate force" on 08:41 - Dec 17 with 762 views | BanksterDebtSlave | 'With Israeli forces nearby, Moran said on X that her family has reported white phosphorus and gunfire in the compound, and on Saturday, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said two women were shot and killed while walking to a building in the complex known as the Sister’s Convent. Seven others were shot and wounded trying to protect others in the compound, the patriarchate said in a statement. “No warning was given, no notification was provided,” the patriarchate said. “They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents.” 'Earlier this week, Moran’s family told her that two men – a bin collector and a janitor – were shot and killed outside the church, their bodies left uncollected. Moran told the BBC that those in the church have received no explanation as to why Israeli forces are targeting their complex.' https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/16/mp-layla-morans-family-trapped-ins | |

"Disproportionate force" on 08:44 - Dec 17 with 749 views | DJR | Welcome back! I came across this doctrine a few weeks ago, which appeared to chime with the respective casualty figures over the years which made me say early on that we could be looking at over 25,000 civilian deaths in Gaza. As it is, I believe we may already have reached that figure with an estimated 7,000 or so buried under buildings, and casualty figures (based on those reaching hospitals or hospital morgues) no longer truly indicative.

How do you create constructive dialogue between, on the one side, a group who throw hand grenades into children's bedrooms, and on the other a group who use armoured bulldozers to run over tents with refugees in, in hospital grounds? https://www.newarab.com/news/israel-bulldozes-gaza-refugee-tents-buries-alive-do Current estimates of deaths in Gaza are 19,000+. Layla Moran talks about relatives sheltering with other Christians in a church under siege, who have no more water left: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/16/mp-layla-morans-family-trapped-ins “I’m now no longer sure they are going to survive until Christmas,” Moran told the BBC. Our Government abstained on a UN Security Council vote calling for a ceasefire, so et's all just wait and watch that happen over the next week. | | | |

Thanks, I only read about it because the man responsible, who is now part of the government, recently lost his son in the conflict. | |

"Disproportionate force" on 09:54 - Dec 17 with 610 views | NthQldITFC | I, like many others I'm sure, find myself starting to look away from this now. The cycle of atrocities from both sides, the hopelessness, the inevitable manipulative propaganda, the excuses, the weak and shameful justifications, the ongoing murder and repression, the hideously slow international response to transparent ethnic cleansing - they all add up to an unbearable pressure of despair at the human race, its shortcomings, its lowest common denominator politics and idiotic self-interest, the doomed status quo. It's exactly the same as the environmental destruction of our home and our children's futures in pursuit of short term gains - we eventually just switch off and let this evil happen. Failed international order. Failed species. | |

Yep not even trying to hide it now, pretty obvious really that if you bomb half a country to rubble, cut off all aid, food and water and deliberately target the sick, women and children support for armed resistance will rapidly rise in the other half of the country. The peace cause has been put back decades by the last few months and while Hamas, Netanyahu are in power chances are zero. | |
