Yes, the situation in Gaza is awful and a tragedy in every way imaginable. It is a war zone.
Quit framing the war as the cause. From the article:
A spokesperson for the UN in New York sent the Guardian a statement about Mokhiber, saying: “I can confirm that he is retiring today. He informed the UN in March 2023 of his upcoming retirement, which takes effect tomorrow. The views in his letter made public today are his personal views.”
So he informed the UN in March 2023 that he wanted to step down and now he did it.
He steps down because of his Retirement - not because of the Hamas - Israel war. Suggesting otherwise, is Disinformation.
The guy accusing me of condoning war crimes is now not happy that I called him a Keyboard Warrior.
You are right in one thing: there is no sense in keeping up the „discussion“
If you come upon some people raping some kid in an alley that doesn’t mean it’s somehow okay for you stand there and just watch because “this is rape and quite frankly worse things were done in other rapes”.
The argument “other people could have chosen to help and didn’t, therefore it’s fine for me to not help either” doesn’t cut it.
All right, then take a plane to Egypt and start to personally deliver that aid, if you just can’t stand by as the moral and ethical pure person you are. No? Took your mouth too full? Maybe you are a Keyboard Warrior after all?
If you, personally, think it’s morally fine to starve civilians and children that’s one thing - luckily many disagree which is why it’s deemed a war crime.
It is a war crime if it is actually done to starve the civilians, yes. And you love to throw around accusations, don’t you?
Why aren’t you fighting that the women and young children can flee - to Egypt or maybe even into Israel? That would actually be useful, don’t you think?
that has disproportionately killed people who have literally nothing to do with Hamas.
Yeah, this is awful, but this happens in EVERY war. What did you expect? This is what makes war - war.
It could also be a lot worse. Ever heard of Hiroshima - or about the carpet firebombing of Dresden?
You are searching morality in something, where there is none. This is urban warfare - WAR - and quite frankly - not letting Resources through Israeli border crossings - is nothing compared to things done in other wars. Especially as Egypt could deliver aid into Gaza from their border - But they chose not to.
So where is the „we are being silenced in the West / western media“ crowd, all of the sudden?
I’m an anarchist with no political representation. My country (US) has never been in agreement with my convictions.
Well this shows that not everything about the US is bad.
No. I just leave this here, from German Wikipedia. Translate it yourself.
„Unabhängig von seiner Herkunft oder Nationalität kann jeder Mensch von Rassismus betroffen sein. Das Internationale Übereinkommen zur Beseitigung jeder Form von Rassendiskriminierung unterscheidet nicht zwischen rassistischer und ethnischer Diskriminierung.“
Of course there is a German ethnicity… maybe get your facts straight first?
Hating to break it to you, but Attributing ANY group as a whole with positive/negative traits is racism. But keep mincing words - probably the only thing you are capable of?
Don’t listen to a powercrazy bitch that still travels on dirt roads and shits in an outdoor toilet ;)
So what myths are your people fighting with?
It is good to show solidarity with Palestinians - it is not acceptable to cheer for Hamas on the other hand.
If you are able to differentiate between Hamas and the Palestinians and Israeli government and Israeli people your moral compass still somewhat works.
15 years ago I thought the Germans were the smartest people in the world
What you are describing is racism - positive racism but racism none the less.
So where are the local Arab states volunteering for a Gaza peacekeeping force to keep the civilians safe?
You are only talking about backbone capacity - the consumer usually still has shitty Internet because our politicians wanted it so. This has more to do with strategic errors and enabling that extremely large corporation with a T in its name to exploit the shit out of copper.
