You can talk about Sudan but it seems some people only want to talk about Gaza.
You obviously do not read my posts. I do not defend the IDF but I do point out the rules of war to those who do not seem to know them. It is possible the IDF has committed war crimes but at the moment we have no evidence.
I try to avoid accusations of antisemitism but I do highlight certain posters hatred of Israel which often seems to extend into making claims which carry no credibility and at times are outright lies.
We haven’t seen concrete proof, there is evidence. The BBC investigated the young lad in the West Bank being killed, read their investigation and it’s hard to conclude his death was anything other than an IDF war crime. For what it’s worth Hamas launching rockets indiscriminately into Israeli territory is also a war crime. It’s a war, they’re dirty and they’re bloody, if there hadn’t been any war crimes committed by at least some element of the IDF by now it would be a miracle.You obviously do not read my posts.

Hatred, claims without credibility and lies. Yep, that's internationally recognised terrorist organisation Hamas for you.Two years today since Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated..
Just like now the IDF followed the same old track of lies an
obfuscation..
1)it didn’t happen
2) it did happen but it wasn’t us
3) it did happen but the Palestinians did it themselves
4) it did happen but we will pretend it didn’t
5) it did happen but you forced us to do it
5) it did happen but it was an accident
6) we will investigate but if you bring it up then you are a Hamas supporter or anti- Semitic
Two years on and no one held accountable and IDF continues this pattern of lies and failure to back up their claims all the while thinking that they are above the law and rules don’t apply to them.

UN member nations vote to back Palestinian membership to the UN.

Did Hamas ever acknowledge responsibility or apologise for the mis-firing rocket that hit the al-Ahli Arab Hospital on 17-October?Just like now the IDF followed the same old track of lies an

The point I'm making is both sides will deny or try to shift blame for incidents that they would have rather not committed and/or went wrong.

Sorry but an apology for murdering someone is not holding someone accountable… "The Israel Defense Forces has apologized for the death of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, a year to the day after she was killed by a bullet to the back of the head while covering an Israeli military operation in Jenin in the occupied West Bank."
Hamas murdered 1.139 victims on the 7th October .Why doesn't Hamas release the hostages ? Why doesn't the justiciary in Palestine compel Hamas to release the hostages ? Because the people of Palestine have elected a Government without Law and Order .... Sorry

JJJ will be along with some more propaganda to deflect from this soon...Has anyone seen him condemn Hamas or their Palestinian supporters yet?

Are you just as outraged at Iran for example targeting Journalists or any other country, or is it because she died in an operation involving Israelis?

The actions of Iran are not relevant to a conversation about the IDF killing journalists and not holding their members to account. Yes the Iranian regime is awful and they murder not just journalists but their own civilians for trivial things like not wearing headscarves but that doesn’t excuse the actions of the IDF so why even bring it up?
It’s this sort of silly defence of the IDF who in this case have failed to adequately prosecute one of their members for an unlawful and unjustified killing that attract the ire of others. Why bother trying to obfuscate? The IDF by virtue of its size and the extent of the actions it’s currently engaged in is bound to have a few bad apples, those bad apples will do bad things, why defend those actions? Why not condemn them as any right thinking human would?

How considerate of you to think of me!I've never condemned any Palestinians, never will or it's very unlikely to happen, just couldn't image condemning the oppressed (putting it mildly). As for Hamas, difficult one, not my idea of freedom fighters and being backed by Iran certainly doesn't help their case in my eyes. But, and I feel this is important without Hamas the plight of the Palestinians would not be a major international issue as it is today and the massive condemnation of Israel for obvious reasons would not have occured. So, in my opinion the Hamas attack on Oct7 may benefit the Palestinians long term, the way things are going hopefully it won't be too long.
The World's eyes are firmly fixed on the Palestinian situation and how Israel has reacted and will react going forward. Importantly the Israeli government is under massive pressure from within and externally, hopefully this bodes well for the Palestinians.
The interesting thing is what happens if peace does occur (yep, getting ahead of myself), a two state solution actually does happen, Hamas no longer exists who are you the Israeli's going to have as a bogeyman? Hamas existence suits the Israeli's, after they factilated Hamas and particularly suited big bks Bibi and his government.

You find it tricky to condemn a murderous, Islamic terrorist group?
And no condemnation of the Palestinians that support them?
I'm stunned....stunned I tell thee......no.....REALLY.
Not that it wasn't already obvious but at least you've finally shown your true colours, I suppose.

It is relevant that these outraged at Israel are not bothered when it comes to other non western leaning nations carrying out atrocities, that is why what Iran does is not relevant in your mind.

Oh, yeah sorry didn't answer you question on Palestinian support for Hamas. No, I can't blame them for supporting Hamas (a most natural reaction), as everyday goes by with more indiscriminate attacks on Gaza and the West Bank by Israel it's automatic recruitment for Hamas or any group that will fight back at Israel.
