    “In the beginning there was a Dark Land without people, then the Light of Israel was born. And for 75 years, the land was submerged in peace and light. And On October 7, the Media said: Let there be time! And time began.” – (Genesis 1: Not a Genocide)

    His claim about proportionality is incorrect. Proportionality requirement means to use force that is effective for a military goal while minimizing the risk of civilian. He is wrong in his claim that there is a threshold number of civilian injuries that would make Israeli military action a war crime. He also has no knowledge that the Israeli military has regarding the significance of the targets that Israel has targeted to make a judgement regarding proportionality.

    I have never seen a nation beg for pity as the Zionist regarding the Holocaust.
    We have not seen the aboriginal / indigenous poeples of
    Australia, South America, Africa ,Asia North America spend so much marketing and money pushing their Holocaust and Oppressions horror stories they have endured.
    What makes the Jewish Holocaust anymore repulsive? Is it the White Skin tone? Just like the outrage we were to have for Ukraine.
    Colonial periods are over. DONE

    Israel: displaces people and kills 100s of Palestinians every day, blows up hospitals, blows up schools, wipes out entire bloodlines, killing children….

  13. @put4558350

    December 15, 2023 at 9:45 am

    In short NO, Israel kill about 14,000 Palestinians is not genocide. In fact there is 2.3 million in Gaza. So this 14,000 is not 1% of Palestinians population. It's far from legal definition of genocide.

    still It's a big number. And un-proportional.

    Another Israel false flag attack, Israel attached it own people try to create a case, so they can attack Palestine, hey were not kill nor kidnapped by Hamas, Israel is play both side, they have there own version of Hamas, which is used to device the world.

    Gotta say- if Hamas didn’t want to be viewed as a lower level of human they shouldn’t have orchestrated such a sadistic attack

    (Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy and he who has ears to hear let him hear and blessed is he who understands.)

    “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 3.

    “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

    “All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verse 8 to 10.

    “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

    “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

    “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

    “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.”

    Acts, chapter 8, verse 22.

    “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 3.

    “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

    Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4, verse 17.

    “After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.”

    Hosea, chapter 6, verse 2.

    “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

    “knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

    Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

    “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

    First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

    “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

    First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

    “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

    First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 52.

    “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

    Gospel of Luke, chapter 17, verse 34 to 36.

    If the IDF wanted to, it could kill 2 million Palestinians in Gaza in less than a day. Of course, this is not their goal. This is an unfortunate war, not genocide, a war that Hamas started, a war that they can stop in 1 minute if they surrender and return the all the hostages.

    Remember the other day when IDF said who in their right mind would build a tunnel under hospitals ? Well turns out it was Israel who built those tunnels according to Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak in an interview with Christiane Amanpour yesterday.

    The professor somehow overlooks the fact the Israelis have cut off the entire population of Gaza from food, water & medical care and have prevented them from accessing the same, this has carried in for almost two months with no end in sight. Starvation has set in, the conditions of epidemic disease are being facilitated and endorsed by Israeli cabinet ministers to be used as a weapon of war against the entire population. The withdrawal of the necessities of life from the entirely of Gaza – in combination with expressions of intent that makes the situation of Gazans today one that qualifies as genocidal.
