“We must pass a ceasefire resolution. … We must join the growing chorus of voices saying ‘never again’—’never again’ for anyone.”
Great work by my colleague @gusbova, wrapping up efforts to pass a #ceasefire resolution in city councils across #Texas: https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-gaza-ceasefire-austin-dallas-houston-san-antonio?utm_campaign=mastodon

@[email protected] The term #genocide is aptly used in reference to the actions of #Israel. There’s a systemic annihilation of the #Palestinian people, the genocide is present both in the #WestBank and in the Red Line. It’s estimated that 5% of the population of #Gaza is dead, missing or under the rubble, and since the massacre is ongoing, then this number is going to become higher. The mission of the #IOF isn’t limited. They’ve even killed hostages and civilians wearing white flags. 1/2 @[email protected]

The “we massacred 25+ thousands of people because #Hamas hides beneath them” is also false. The #IOF has destroyed more than 70% of all residences of #Gaza, as well as all hospitals. It’s just mathematically impossible for a tiny fraction of the population to be hidden in the majority of the territory.
You’re justifying #genocide , which makes you complicit in it.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] looking forward to this mathematical proof, but, until then, I’d direct your focus to the scope of context argued by South Africa. Surely you agree with the extent of that scope? Because it’s very inline with what Arafat argued to Bill Clinton.
@[email protected] According to Israel, there are 300 000 members of Hamas, less than 7% of all Gazans. If, supposedly, a residential building becomes a legitimate military target if there’s a combatant (and note that not everyone in Hamas is) below it, that means that no more than 7% can become legal targets. Note that these are a lot of "if"s, and that not all Hamas combatants are gone, despite the bombings. @[email protected]
@[email protected] @[email protected] falls completely short of your claims, and ignores the question which was asked of you. Just on my phone at the moment, so a quick reply.
