Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity.

The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war.

More genocidal behaviour

Not that this wouldn't be a grotesque crime against humanity either way, but I'd be very interested to know what they consider "military age".

US "anti-terrorism" forces in the middle east set it as low as 14 and I wouldn't expect the IDF to be LESS monstrous than the US military..

One former Mossad official even said that all Gazan children older than 4 are "involved" and "Hamas supporters" and therefore deserve to be starved to death 🤬

This reeks of Srebrenica.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 16 points 6 months ago

Yeah, it's still genocide if a country restricts itself to only killing the men. And Israel very much is not restricting itself.

What does this mean

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It is a reference to the Srebrenica massacre. The perpetrators there precisely first picked out men and boys from a refugee population as the first step towards genocidal violence, which they carried out a few days later.

I don't think the people working in the hospital attacked israel.

What do you think of that mass grave the Israelis put at a hospital and won't let anyone investigate?

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

"But Israel doesn't." You're right. They slaughter thousands instead. To the tune of around 32k.

[-] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 10 points 6 months ago

See that’s the difference between us.

You think that would justify it and I don’t think that justifies killing 10,s of thousands of people that had nothing to do with it.

It is unjustifiable, the same as what hummus did

Oh well, who's radicalized now?

Damn, I hope one day you realise how wrong it is to generalise people.

How would you feel if someone says that you are a scumbag just because your neighbour is a scumbag?

Now question yourself if you want to be that type of person.

Those half-naked men made another face on October 7th

You do know that only 3k dudes attacked Israel on the 7th, right? The people responsible for the attack are almost assured to be part of the 13k "militants" already killed in action.

there are still hostages in captivity.

You mean the people who's family are literally begging the Israeli government to negotiate a safe return for? The people Benny has been ignoring to satiate his lust for Palestinian blood?
