Explicitly combatants… and anyone who happens to be in their vicinity when the bomb goes off.
“Extremely” targeted you say? So when they were detonated, the people doing the detonating had visual confirmation of the targets not being in close proximity to civilians?
He specifically mentioned “in the context of the US”.
If he had been talking about any other English-speaking country, I’d say it would be somewhat irrelevant.
But it most certainly isn’t when talking about the US, especially southern US.
Well written. To add: “Boy” coming from a white person to a black man is even more offensive, what with all the chattel slavery history and whatnot.
Dude.
As a third-party to this conversation, I have to say that the dude writing “There is often a gap between common-use language, and the academic function of words (see “racism”). This is why I emphasized the relation of the definitions I provided to the fields of anthropology and sociology, as well as why I stated it is a use almost exclusively found, in my experiences, in academia.” seems a tad more credible than the one writing “I’m not superior just because I used a dictionary to quash the logical fallacy of your call to authority.”
I seriously think you just missed the nuance he was trying to emphasise, and you started mansplaining something he already implicitly had agreed on. Now you’re going for these rather immature “logical fallacy” arguments. Just a tip for that, btw, to up your game in that aspect. Naming fallacies to implicate that the other person is wrong is actually something called “the fallacy fallacy”, ie "because their logic contains a fallacy, the conclusion must be false. That in itself is a fallacy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy
So yeah. You’re not wrong, but you’re also not right in correcting him in any way, and he’s not wrong to say that he is right.
I do believe he’s an English teacher. Just use your imagination a bit and think of how many of the things your English teacher told you didn’t seem to make sense, but when you actually dug into the material, you got an “aaa this is what he meant” - moment.
By tracking who sent what to whom?
And since tracking the devices is actually impossible, how would you know which pager is where and held by whom,
Say one of the pagers wasn’t delivered to the person who you “know” it to belong to. Say it got dropped in front of a school. Say another person who has one and even is a Hezbollah member, is visiting a children’s hospital, because they’re people too and usually have reasons to fight (even if their fighting style is immoral to some). Say another is eating dinner with his family. Etc. Etc. Etc.
There’s no way to verify any of that. It’s basically just as bad if not worse than carpet-bombing. Unless you implant a device like this on a person and then have surveillance on that person to know where they are and who with when you detonate the device, you’re probably doing a war crime.
John Oliver sort of did it.
But it doesn’t even need a LLM.
They just used predictive text.
You can’t track a pager.
A mobile tower will send it a message, but since there’s no two-way communication, theres no way to track where the pager received the message. (Even if it was a two-way one, you need at least three good points of connection to be able to triangulate it.)
So how exactly do you identify who’s using a pager you don’t even know the location of?
You obviously don’t know how tracking works.
Ditto
Which explains why the IDF has had so many “accidents” recently.
A almost 50 year old man doesn’t want to look uncool on his bike.
Have you noted to him how fucking uncool it is for a grown man to think safety (especially of children) is uncool?
Takes just one slipup of someone, not even them, but just someone in traffic, and he will never forgive himself his shitty attitude.
I figured it was a setup for the finale or something, but that earlier comment just made me realise it never came, and now that season 2 is cancelled anyway? Bittelig will stay lonely, I feel like. :(
Yeah I think the name sort of hints at that, for anyone using their thinking muscles
Oh yeah I completely forgot that she never came back.
I was like “oh they’re clearly setting up something here”, but apparently not.
Keep an eye on that Kal-el Tuck kid though
I agree. Fun name too.
Well, there’s also a connection between Prometheus and Lucifer.
Prometheus brought fire. “Lucifer” means “light-bearer”.
Strictly speaking humanity is a part of nature.
Do you know what the word “average” means?
Apparently not.
The point is that disgusting pos like you who had been able to pretend that the slaughter they were complicit in wasn’t as bad.
Just like you’re pretending you have the right to slaughter Palestinians.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant
On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023:
Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Statute;
Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health contrary to article 8(2)(a)(iii), or cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);
Wilful killing contrary to article 8(2)(a)(i), or Murder as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);
Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime contrary to articles 8(2)(b)(i), or 8(2)(e)(i);
Extermination and/or murder contrary to articles 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(a), including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity;
Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);
Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).
#My Office submits that the evidence we have collected, including interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, authenticated video, photo and audio material, satellite imagery and statements from the alleged perpetrator group, shows that Israel has intentionally and systematically deprived the civilian population in all parts of Gaza of objects indispensable to human survival.
You’re an illiterate brainwashed nationalist. I never said 52000 civilians.
Youre defending the slaughter of women and children you disgusting pos.
The burden of proof is on the entity doing the killing, dipshit.
I wish people like you had to actually show their face when defending this utter drivel. You wouldn’t have the balls to, and thus would keep your moronic mouth shut.

You keep stomping your foot and denying reality. Must be sharing the feelings of average Germans at the end of the war when they had to face up to what they had allowed to go on.
Israel will face consequences for these crimes on humanity.

My Office submits that the war crimes alleged in these applications were committed in the context of an international armed conflict between Israel and Palestine, and a non-international armed conflict between Israel and Hamas (together with other Palestinian Armed Groups) running in parallel. We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy. These crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day.

This occurred through the imposition of a total siege over Gaza that involved completely closing the three border crossing points, Rafah, Kerem Shalom and Erez, from 8 October 2023 for extended periods and then by arbitrarily restricting the transfer of essential supplies – including food and medicine – through the border crossings after they were reopened. The siege also included cutting off cross-border water pipelines from Israel to Gaza – Gazans’ principal source of clean water – for a prolonged period beginning 9 October 2023, and cutting off and hindering electricity supplies from at least 8 October 2023 until today. This took place alongside other attacks on civilians, including those queuing for food; obstruction of aid delivery by humanitarian agencies; and attacks on and killing of aid workers, which forced many agencies to cease or limit their operations in Gaza.
My Office submits that these acts were committed as part of a common plan to use starvation as a method of war and other acts of violence against the Gazan civilian population as a means to (i) eliminate Hamas; (ii) secure the return of the hostages which Hamas has abducted, and (iii) collectively punish the civilian population of Gaza, whom they perceived as a threat to Israel.
The effects of the use of starvation as a method of warfare, together with other attacks and collective punishment against the civilian population of Gaza are acute, visible and widely known, and have been confirmed by multiple witnesses interviewed by my Office, including local and international medical doctors. They include malnutrition, dehydration, profound suffering and an increasing number of deaths among the Palestinian population, including babies, other children, and women.
Famine is present in some areas of Gaza and is imminent in other areas. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned more than two months ago, “1.1 million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger – the highest number of people ever recorded – anywhere, anytime” as a result of an “entirely manmade disaster”. Today, my Office seeks to charge two of those most responsible, NETANYAHU and GALLANT, both as co-perpetrators and as superiors pursuant to Articles 25 and 28 of the Rome Statute.
Israel, like all States, has a right to take action to defend its population. That right, however, does not absolve Israel or any State of its obligation to comply with international humanitarian law. Notwithstanding any military goals they may have, the means Israel chose to achieve them in Gaza – namely, intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering, and serious injury to body or health of the civilian population – are criminal.
and some brainworm is causing you to interpret that to mean “42,000 civilians.”
I laughed out loud. You’re extremely brainwashed, my man.
You’re doing what’s known as “guilty-before-proven-innocent”.
Disgusting.
Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, at least 16,456 of them children and over 11,000 women.
Slaughtering women, children and murdering aid workers, and yet you have the audacity to claim “they were probably all part of the Palestinian armed forces” oh wait such a force doesn’t exist? Hamas, you mean, which isn’t the same as Palestine?
Doesn’t matter what cognitive highjinks you get up to, you’re defending people slaughtering women and children you disgusting pos.
Israel bombs schools and hospitals and cries “yeah they were actually hamas”.
And you don’t see through that? You’re Israeli, aren’t you? Jewish, at least.
There are no figures for Gazan civilian casualties.
People like you are why the world is so shit.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel–Hamas_war
As of 8 September 2024, over 42,000 people (40,972 Palestinian[1] and 1,478 Israeli[13]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 116 journalists according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (111 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[14], 134 journalists and media workers according to the International Federation of Journalists (127 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[15] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[16]
Or is this the part where you’re gonna push Zionist propaganda about how there’s no way to know how many of those TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEAD were “actually civilians”, despite most of them being children?
Also, it’s just about the size and shape of the machines basically and they’re in the same industries.
So is it really that different of an industry, or two sub-industries of like… plastics, in general?
