Killing is killing.
Israeli IDF kill children for sport. Hundreds of Palestinian children dead from head shots by IDF.
Israel's Gaza wars are an atrocity of mass butchery.
I see you've renewed your KKK membership.
So let me get this straight. You sanction the killings and mass butchery and you accuse us of being members of the KKK. You do know that you're the only one condoning a atrocities here. We're condemning them regardless of who does them. See the difference????
No, the people sanctioning atrocities are those who are against arresting or punishing the Australian dual nationals fighting with ISIS.
OK that's between you and them. Our issue is different. Its about you condoning it in some and condemning it in others. Remember if you "seriously" maintain (god knows how but lets move on) that the people really committing the "atrocities" are those who are against arresting or punishing the Australian dual nationals fighting with ISIS then why aren't you also committing "atrocities" (sorry, its your stupid argument not mine) for being opposed to arresting or punishing the Australian dual nationals fighting with israel.
There are not in reality any 'mass butchery' being carried out by the IDF in Gaza, or outside of it.
That's a lie. Between 2,142[46] and 2,310[22] Gazans were killed and between 10,626[22] and 10,895[26] were wounded [color=#0000ff](including 3,374 children, of whom over 1,000 were left permanently disabled
[47]). 66 Israeli soldiers, 5 Israeli civilians (including one child)[48] and one Thai civilian were killed[18] and 469 IDF soldiers and 261 Israeli civilians were injured.[20]
The Gaza Health Ministry, UN and some human rights groups reported that 69–75% of the Palestinian casualties were civilians;[18][23][26] Israeli officials estimated that around 50% of those killed were civilians.[27][49] On 5 August, OCHA stated that 520,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip (approximately 30% of its population) might have been displaced, of whom 485,000 needed emergency food assistance[50] and 273,000 were taking shelter in 90 UN-run schools.[51] The UN calculated that more than 7,000 homes for 10,000 families were razed, together with an additional 89,000 homes damaged, of which roughly 10,000 were severely affected by the bombing.[52] Rebuilding costs were calculated to run from 4-6 billions dollars, over 20 years.[53] In Israel, an estimated 5,000[54] to 8,000[55] citizens temporarily fled their homes due to the threat of rocketry from Gaza[/color]
And in answer to your question in the previous post, no, the German soldiers were wrong to round up the Jews during the Holocaust, same as the Japanese soldiers were wrong for the actions committed during WW2.
The point is NOT that national armies don't commit atrocities, it's that a national army does have to answer for those actions, either to the national government, or in front of some international tribunal (Nuremberg etc)
I beg your pardon!!! The German army had all those rules in place, was a member of the geneva conventions and told every one (like the Israeli army does today) that they were abiding by international law but it didn't stop them in their massacre of 6 million jews. And your pretending that's the distinction that makes it alright for young australian men with guns to go fight in Gaza knowing that in all likelihood they will be killing civilians and children. Your hypocrisy and double standards is a major cause of most of these troubles.
