Adding to the mountain of evidence that Israel is engaged in a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera on Thursday aired footage of what the news outlet reported was an Israeli drone targeting four Palestinians in Khan Younis last month.
Those killed by the unmanned aerial vehicle in the rubble of the southern Gaza city appear to be unarmed teenagers or young men. According to a translation of the coverage, they were not identified in the reporting.
Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka’s U.S. policy fellow, said: “This is among the worst footage I’ve seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal.”
You kill a bunch of people, you’d better be damn sure it’s justifiable - you know - by looking at the evidence. Basic rule of law stuff.
Where’s the evidence? We both know there isn’t any - much like there’s nothing that would justify Israel’s broader genocide.
How do you think evidence works?
“Know” lmao.
“Basic”, but too complex for you to understand.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to take a break from defending warcrimes by a genocidal regime and provide any evidence.
Now you’re just repeating the same words over and over again with no correlation. Holy shit. Did I get baited into a “discussion” with ChatGPT 1.0? There’s no other explanation
Evidence that these civilians are in fact combatants. I’ll wait.
Oh my god this is hilarious. I’ve sent 20 messages explaining that theres no evidence one way or the other, and you still parrot the same shit over and over again. Come on, rub your both braincells together, Karen, figure it out.
Your whole argument is that I’m a genocide denier, and I’ve stated many times saying theres an active genocide in Gaza, committed by Israeli forces. You literally have no argument.
Bad guys don’t look the way you imagine. Real life is not a Holywood stage (I know some Americans struggle with this fact)
Let’s try this one more time, all together now: “An out of context clip on twitter, containing unidentified people in an unidentified area, during an unidentified time, is not evidence”.
Based on the level of responses you gave me so far, I assume you’re confused by that as well.
WE, the people watching, cannot know, whether the targets were “The bad guys” (you know, pew pew pew), or the good guys. Being unarmed could be an indication, BUT IT’S NOT EVIDENCE. Life is not a movie, nor a Battlefield game.
Okay, this is as low as I can go I think.
There we go. The fact that there’s evidence of the murder of a group of apparent civilians and no evidence they were combatants or expectation of it is the problem. You don’t get to go killing whoever you please, shrug your shoulders and say “eh - I dunno - Hamas I guess - who cares”. This applies doubly in the context of the ongoing genocide - Israel have made it crystal clear they can’t be trusted.
To look at a genocidal regime killing a bunch of people that gave no indication they’re combatants, shrugging your shoulders and saying there’s no evidence they’re not guilty doesn’t cut it. It excuses the commission of the genocide (which is just thousands of instances of this kind of thing with an imposed famine and displacement), and represents a total disregard for the rule of law.
Christ almighty.
The one’s doing the killing have to collect evidence. Not fucking random Karens on the internet who can only watch a twitter video and try to deduce information using their fucking salt lamp.
Do you imagine the bad guys to be “Hey Karen look at us! We have skulls on our shirts, and I’m wearing an eyepatch! Kill us, we’re the bad guys It is important that twitter people recognise us!”.
You have to be trolling. You just have to be. I refuse to believe people you’re a real person writing all that unironically
Yes - the IDF need to provide the evidence, haven’t, won’t, and can’t, but you defend them nonetheless.
What we have at present is evidence of a warcrime in the context of a genocide - it’s encumbent on the IDF to prove this killing was justified.
A genocide isn’t a single act - it’s many acts like this one you’re defending.
