The situation isn't as simple as you're describing it even from the ICC's perspective. https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-pre-trial-chamber-i-issues-... "In today's decision, Pre-Trial Chamber I

I agree these don't all look good but you're lumping different things under the same umbrella. And you're blaming the victim. If Hamas didn't attack Israel on Oct 7th then there wouldn't be Israeli soldiers in Gaza

US gives a ton of aid to Egypt which is an oppressive dictatorship. Egypt is also involved in the civil war in Sudan which has seen more than 150,000 people killed and more than 522,000 children die from starvation, and about 10 million peo

Palestine is not a state. That much is fact. It's not a matter of "position". It does not meet any definition of state. The UN also does not consider Palestine to be a state and it is not a member of the UN. The UN and the IC

I'm sorry but you're just wrong. The reasons the UN and others still regarded Gaza as under Israeli occupation are either political or technical. In practice when Israel left Gazans got full control. They had a border with Egypt,

I am not following your logic at all. The League of Nations had no jurisdiction over the Germans (that I'm aware of). The matter of countries doing their own investigation is fundamental to the ICC and so is the matter of its jurisdict

Israel did give up Gaza and gave Palestinians full control of it, and a border with Egypt they controlled, in 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_the... Yes, everything can be litigated to

It it absolutely fair to criticize Israel the same way that e.g Canada, the US, the UK, France etc. were criticized during their war on the Islamic State. Let's get some scale here. - Probably more than 160K killed in this war. Maybe h

And history tells us that at some point those Jews are going to be a target. Other than the anomaly of the last 50 years or so. It wasn't that long ago that Jews in the US could not be members of golf clubs or were otherwise discrimina

The ICC is a political circus and Israel is not a signatory. It has no jurisdiction. Even if Israel was a signatory the ICC should only intervene after Israel has done its own investigation and if it failed to hold the relevant standards. I

And where is the Pentagon? Attacking the Qirya, Israel's HQ, with some sort of accuracy is a legitimate military target. It's a pretty large target. Soldiers wear uniform. There are no civilians mixed into that camp. This is very

I'm not following your point. Anti-Israeli content is continuously promoted here along with anti-Israel commentary while flagging and down-voting of any discussion to the contrary. Israel can do no right. If it allows food into Gaza Ha

I'm really surprised to hear another Jewish person speak about this in language that evokes the Nuremberg trials. The article generally describes the IDF being asked to do crowd control with lethal weapons. For the most part it also de

As another Jewish Israeli I agree this is concerning. I do want you to consider the context here on Hacker News though. You and me have context, we understand the history, we understand at least something about wars and how they are fought.

Unfortunately it's not funny. There is no coincidence here in how anti-Israeli content is constantly promoted and the what the comment threads turn into.

I recommend you reflect a little deeper on this topic. Maybe look a little bit into how Jews were treated in Europe and the middle east. The Anti-Israeli crowd is throwing universal human rights under the bus. That crowd doesn't care a

The troops on the ground were only able to act because the regime has been weakened. But yes, someone in Iran would need to somehow actively do something.

Israel reportedly took out >50% of the launchers. With complete control of the air space a launcher becomes a single use rather than its intended multiple use. The USA can defend its positions with Aegis/THAAD and its detection capa

This is true but that happened mostly after Hamas already took Gaza. Israel would have greatly preferred for the PA to control Gaza. The regime change in this case was done by the Palestinians themselves. The Israeli right wing did to some

Can't compare Ukraine, which is a democracy where the government enjoys broad support, to Iran, which is a dictatorship where 80% of the population wants the government gone and rules by an iron fist and public executions.

Israel hasn't really engaged in regime change. If anything the opposite. There was a single failed attempt to get the Christians into power in Lebanon. But mostly sort of the devil I know. We have Hussein in Jordan. We had Assad in Syr
