That watching neighborhood hezbollah residences get bombed is a safe thing to watch from just a couple hundred yards away:

Israel warns the neighborhoods first so the people can be safe.

Genocide?

Yes seb when savages like hamas are dug in under civilians, or at home with their families, it is still ok to target them. Given the widespread nature of hamas in gaza, many buildings had to be bombed. I personally would have just exterminated the entire strip, but israel is much nicer than I.

Israel still behaved almost unfathomably generously, giving hamas time to move and hide, in order to reduce civilian casualties and appease losers and antisemites such as yourself.

And even still they whupped your ass. That campaign against hezzbollah, with all the worlds antisemites lining up against them, was masterful. Perhaps not as impressive as patton lee and caesar, but one for the history books for sure.

You do know there are Israeli nationalists, right? They even have their own term. Zionism. And then there are anti-zionists. People who dislike extremist nationalist policies.

Sure, there are also anti-semites. You can recognize most of them by their torches and chants of "Jews will not replace us".

A 7 front war is the opposite of genius, genius.

Lol israel just toasted the new leader of hezbollah. Is the 4th or the 5th in the last few months.

Sadly he built his bunker under a large residential complex.

But there is a good lesson here: dont hide behind your civilians. That shit might work on sissies like biden and the UK but not on post oct 7 israel. Your civilians will just die needless deaths. And 2... dont let terrorists hide under your shit. You'll just die.

Oh and tell your friends to surrender seb. You arnt winning.

They fought back. Problem was no one except the USSR was willing to give them weapons or sanctuary.

Western resistance to aiding Jewish populations in distress was pretty close to complicity in the genocide.

But that was a different kettle of fish. Israeli nationalism is the same poisoned beast as all extreme nationalist movements are. Conflating it with the fate of Europe's jewish population simply illustrates a lack of education. Hell, Zionism finished the cultural genocide of Yiddish that the Germans started (I have linked you up on the oppression of Yiddish culture and language within Israel before).

That is how bad the team you are cheering for actually is sammy.

Deliberately destroying civil infrastructure for collective punishment and to render the land uninhabitable in order to permanently displace the population is recognised means of conducting a genocide Sam.

They've been caught on camera and by multiple credible witnesses using small drones to kill children.

It's not "human shields" or "collateral damage", the intent is to ultimately displace the population.

As the terrorist groups did in 47. Kill some people to scare off the rest, destroy their dwellings, claim their land, claim that the fact they fled for their lives shows they are traitors.

It is also a recognized means of displacing a violent enemy for valid military reasons. Perhaps if hamas did not exist you would have a point.

International humanitarian aid to Gaza over the years has included construction materials for buildings and infrastructure.

Hamas took those materials and used them to build tunnels to attack Israel.

Clearly, the Palestinians themselves don't really care about their own urban environment...so why should the Jews that they are trying to murder care?

Collective punishment of the Southern population for the CSA's rebellion was a prominent aspect of the Civil War. Scorched earth tactics (Sherman's March to the Sea, the Valley Campaigns) resulted in the wholesale destruction of farms, livestock, factories, and railroads, and asset seizures via foraging or legal procedures were a common element of life for Southerners.

These activities were viewed with widespread revulsion by those who fell victim to them. But too bad, this is what war is. The destruction of your enemy will always include punitive measures against the population supporting them.
Rugian

It's also worth noting how effective these tactics were. Lincoln loved having guys like Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan who had zero moral qualms about engaging in total war and were happy to send their soldiers to die so long as the enemy was also likely to suffer casualties.

Did it make the war more brutal? Yeah. Did it help the North to win? Yes, and that's all that Lincoln cared about in the end.

Ah, so you want to declare civilians enemy and justify killing them.

All those guys that died in 9/11 - totally justified enemy combatants right?

Rugian:

I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about you specifically.

Guilt by association on the basis of nationality, that's what you are arguing for. Why would it end with one generation?

Guilt by nationality is like half of warfare.

If I'm in Dresden in 1945, the British bombs being dropped on the city aren't going to give one shit about whether I'm pro- or anti-Nazi.

I'm sorry that you apparently lost sight of what war is supposed to look like. Civilians suffer with the soldiers.

Rugian:

The British Govt spent a long time thinking about the case for area bombing and how it was justified.

The key point about that was in industrialised warfare with full mobilisation, Dresden was a valid target due to the high density of factory workers engaged in building munitions to attack the UK.

Britain would not have bombed flat Dresden AFTER it had captured it and driven out the German forces in order to repopulate the Dresden with Brits.

That, rather, is the whole NAZI MO for Eastern Europe.

Sam:

You say that, but the entire point is there is overwhelming evidence that Israeli is destroying the infrastructure after it has secured the area from Hamas with the intent to ensure Palestinian civilians cannot return, and intends to settle the land with Israeli civilians instead.

So no, you can't say "oh, no, it's just because Hamas is there". Most of the destruction has occurred after the IDF has declared areas clear.

Once cleared, they have bulldozed pretty much every building, and blown up civil infrastructure including medical facilities, power generation and water treatment plants.
Seb

The intent is ethnic cleansing and has nothing to do with Hamas and everything to do with the current Israeli governments belief that the land is given to them by god, and that Palestinians are not really human.

This is especially funny coming from a UK citizen that tried to burn every german city to the ground and starved every german.

Twice.

What you viewed as military necessity just 2 generations ago is now totally wrong because jews are doing 1/100th of the same thing. You arent trying to be logical or use legal precedent or anything like that, you clearly just hate jews and want them to die.

Which is even more ironic, since your hatred of jews caused you to force them out of europe, creating israel in the first place.

A better point would be *after* WW2 specifically because of the way it was conducted on both sides - conduct which was controversial even during the war - and justified based on conditions that obviously do not apply in Gaza: namely the fact that the civilian population contributed hugely to industrial warfare. Not as Sam would now have you believe, that German armed forces were nearby in small numbers.
Sam Adams

Please seb, german kids were not building tanks, yet you burned them to death anyway and think thats perfectly fine.

That is actually perfectly fine but so is israels behavior in gaza.

"Ironically Hamas can return, they've popped up to attack IDF forces in the north."

So here you are, admitting this happens. Modifying the terrain to make this more difficult is clearly acceptable.
