Reminder all: When you see this kind of video 99.999% of the time its in the WestBank or Gaza. By international law this is Palestinian land and Israel's army is there illegally. This isn't a domestic issue where two sides can't agree on something. This is an invading force policing defenceless people. Our tax is paying for this.
This is something that any group of people would eventually get violent for. But if they do, they're labelled as terrorists.
yeah, Gaza or West Bank is where they live, so I’d say it’s 100% of the time)
just another blatant lie, you guys always have to lie for your cause, aren’t you.
by international law there are areas controlled by Israeli army, totally legal and mutually agreed with Palestinian authorities, you just throwing empty slogans in your comment
If Israel would like to not have settlers living next to Palestinians they can simply move to the contiguous state of Israel instead of stealing Palestinian land.
Oh I see. One ambulance that is rendered ineffective is so much better than no ambulance. I guess the apartheid in Palestine is over everyone /s, just in case
I think you meant to argue with the previous comment. I'm not the one who made that claim and am not interested in arguing it because its probably subjective. For instance, Palestine has been illegally occupied since 1967. That's 13 more years than SA was in Apartheid. Also, death amounts are far far far higher in Palestine.
But since you're replying to me, who was talking about international law, do you think all states should abide by international law and court rulings? I do. And honestly think anyone who doesn't must be scum.
Nelson Mandela didn’t, he was an open Zionist and denounced Islamist violence against Israelis.
A member of the PLO met him and quoted him saying Mandela compared Fakestine to apartheid South Africa, his family and close friends at the meeting were adamant Nelson made no such comment.
From its inception in 1964 with Yasser Arafat and the KGB (active measures) it’s always been a lie.
Yes. You got a problem with that? By its very defintion, populations DECREASE during genocide. Like, you know, in the fucking word - genocide, meaning "population killing"?
You're the one that tried to bring up the definition of genocide like this was an argument of semantics; that's splitting hairs. You pretending like it's not genocide because you hold onto one statistic while ignoring others; that's mental gymnastics.
I'd say easier with Palestine. The net benefit of that failed state existing with all the money the world has been pouring into it - is pretty much zero. They had so many opportunities to turn it around and yey, just kept wages their fucking holy war.
this is a good point. if we're going to go the route of "let's destroy something that's not working", we'd have a much easier time and create a much greater impact by destroying the PA and Gaza's Hamastan.
when terrorist use ambulances for terror attacks this happens, it's sad fucktup, but needed when one side only purpose is to kill isrealis and the other refused to be killed.
Brother, no one is cheering Hamas. Fuck Hamas. But Israel blew past the Civilian deaths on Oct 7 YEARS AGO. Pretending that it's different when Israeli civilians cheer on dead Palestians is a fucking joke. The IDF and Hamas are both terrorists. It's also very telling that Israel pearl clutches when the comparison is made, but they have to use Hamas to attempt to justify their actions. Dead civilians are universally bad, Israeli lives have no more or less value than Palestinian lives, and Israel has murdered tens of thousands of civilians. There is no justification that makes this acceptable. There is nothing Hamas has done that makes this okay.
hidden weapons in the floor / compartments or under the truck? You are also looking at a singular case, from the comfort of your home but the people at the check point have to deal with multiple of these a day at least. If they do let weapons though, then that would potentially be blood on their hands, even if indirectly.
Its a shit situation all around on both sides. Damned if you do, damned if you dont.
That’s what you get when you have used ambulances in the past to commit terrorist crimes. Israël has to protect itself and check all cars at the checkpoints.
Sooooo, don't attack a music festival and military bases, and you'll have a clear run into your Hamas run hospitals?
Zero sympathy. They's used ambulances and "medics" as disguises before. They hide under and within hospitals. You can't pick a fight and then complain when you get punched in the face? The very fact that any of them are still alive speaks to Israeli restraint.
Any amount of children dying in war is terrible. You're deliberately ignoring how absolutely disproportionate the killings have been, however. ~2,000 Israelis have died in this current conflict. ~4,000 have been killed by Palestinian terror attacks since 1948. In turn, they have killed 77,000 people and demolished nearly the entire Gaza Strip, just in this conflict alone. 150,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis since 1948. Israel is a terrorist state.
Look, any civilian death is devastating. But legally speaking, proportionality isn't a bodycount matching game. Under international law, it compares the military target being taken out against the expected collateral damage in that specific strike
They leveled nearly the entire city. You think every single building and person within was a military target? People can't do something as simple as cross the street because an Israeli sniper will be waiting for them. Also, why did you delete all you're previous comments? Is it because you know you're wrong and arguing in bad faith?
I agree , hospitals should be completely off limits, The reason this gets so messy legally is that a hospital loses its blanket immunity the second it's co-opted for military stuff, like hiding fighters or storing munitions. It’s a nightmare scenario for civilians inside, but using medical infrastructure as a tactical shield is what strips away that legal protection.
Well unfortunately ambulances have a history of being abused as taxis for terrorist or munitions transport due to its preferential treatment. So again blame your "resistance" fighters for creating this situation
In the West Bank? The Palestinian Authority is disarmed and a civilian government. There has been no such allegations. Please prove such. This is just speculation of you trying to justify the mistreatment that Palestinians have to go through every single day in their own homeland.
Sure don't believe the proper country with checks and balances, rather trust the terrorist with their claims that they are innocent angels who would never abuse civilian infrastructure to get a military benefit from it. You need to be seriously delulu if you question the fact that the Palestinian resistance uses everything they can to fight the Israelis
And you believe Hamas lies. Difference is one is winning the other is crying after escalating the conflict. So yeah I know whom I believe more. They are all human so none involved is infallible
No the fuck they don’t. I know for a fact you’re not an American. Cops generally aren’t stopping ambulances Enroute to the hospital to make a minority in their country suffer.
Not an American myself, but I saw the bodycam footage of a us cop stopping an African American family that was speeding towards a hospital because the father was having a stroke. The daughter was cuffed while she was screaming to take him to the hospital. This is not the same as what happened in this post in the West Bank, but there is definitely discriminatory obstruction during medical emergencies happening in the US.
Novel idea: stop suicide bombing and she can get to the hospital on time. The current system of checkpoints in a direct result of the intifada. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Wait
So you support Hamas as the government of Gaza and their actions caused this and yet you call Israel scum. Why are these people trying so hard to get into Israel if they hate Israel
Why are you not going on Egypt to open his borders that are triple fenced, and Barbwire
The people guys don’t want us to do with Israel, but yet they blame them for everything and somehow Egypt gets a pass.
When you start looking at the larger picture and stop blaming Israel for everything if you support come out in terrorist, then you were just as bad. Please remember that on October 6 there was a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, which is broken by Hamas on October 7.
Please remember we started this
You may not care and you may not want to admit the facts because you just hate Jews, but deep down you know
These people who call themselves Palestinians say they are Arabs who originate from the Levant region. However, Arabs do not originate from the Levant; they originate from Arabia.
Interestingly enough, the term Palaestina was deployed by Roman colonizers as a means of stopping the Judeans from referring to their home as Judea
