Is Israel Committing War Crimes in Gaza?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- Israel is often accused of war crimes against Palestinians, and accusations of targeting civilians, using disproportionate force, and blocking civilian access to humanitarian aid have intensified during this latest war in Gaza. But are Israel’s current actions towards Palestinians in Gaza actually war crimes according to the legal definition? And if they’re not war crimes, does that mean they are justified?

I haven't watched the video yet, but I have a feeling this dude is gonna say "no" 🤣
It's called Betteridge's law of headlines. This is why I don't like to use yes/no questions anymore on RUclips, stackexchange, wordpress, Quora, et al.
Hamas officials openly admit that they are not responsible for the Gaza population and that the civilians’ well being does not concern them. When asked why Hamas built 500 km of tunnels but did not build any bomb shelters for the Gaza civilians in an interview with the Russia Today TV(RT) channel, Senior Hamas official Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook said: “The tunnels in Gaza are meant to protect our (Hamas) operatives and not the civilians. 75% of the residents in Gaza are refugees, therefore it is the responsibility of the UN to protect them”.
The interview aired on October 27, 2023 on Russia Today TV.

But you are completely misinformed, Netanyahu has turned the entire Gaza Strip into a huge prison. Years ago, Netanyahu was visiting Germany and in a speech he falsely blamed the Palestinians for the Holocaust. Historians immediately denied this. He implemented his Human Rights Wiedrich settler program, his right-wing extremist government discriminated against Palestinians and drove them from their land, sometimes with extreme violence. Netanyahu's finance and administration minister responsible for the occupied West Bank had called for the "extermination" of the Palestinian village of Huwara. Settlers brutally expelled the Palestinians and the army and police just watched. The UN pointed out to Netanyahu that he was violating human rights, Germany was very concerned, and no one did anything. In 2021, the International Court of Justice felt responsible and condemned the human rights violations of Netanyahu's government. The settlers shot several Palestinians on their olive plantations. Even many observant Jews around the world opposed this policy. Now Hamaz has murdered horribly and that cannot be forgiven or condemned. But what worries me now is that someone like Netanyahu, who has never cared about human rights, is coming to power with the support of the USA. It was always right for Netanyahu that Hamaz exists so that if something happens, he can wash his hands later and say that the terrorists are to blame. Now he is trying to drive the Palestinians towards Egypt and clear out the Gaza Strip. By the way, if he cared about the hostages, he wouldn't bomb the Gaza Strip extremely like he does now.
If Gaza is a prison, how come Hamas were able to build underground hundreds of km of tunnels and horde so my rockets and other weapon? Why not use that money to better the lives of Gaza’s people?
@ruthlieberman7157 it was clearly intentional so as divert attention from netanyahu, some months ago people were protesting against him, isreal has one of the best intelligence agencies (mossad) in the world, with the most notorious electronic spyware and you're telling me they didn't know hamas was going to strike ???
@@ruthlieberman7157 Hmm yes, prison riots totally don't happen.
Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005 and it became a self-governing state. The only reason it became as you term an "open air prison" was because Israel AND Egypt (so weird how Egypt never gets mentioned; is it because they're not Jews?) imposed a blockade after Gazans elected Hamas and Hamas immediately declared war on Israel and started attacking it with rockets. And even with the blockade, Egypt and Israel still allowed essential supplies like food and medicine to get into Gaza, AND Israel supplied it with much of its electricity and water, when they had no obligation to. Re. Netanyahu "blaming" the Palestinians for the Holocaust, what he referred to was the incontestable fact that the Palestinian Arabs were on the side of the Nazis during the war, and were important allies of Hitler in the region.

@@JacobSteinberg75 Agreed. That's why analysis is needed to tackle some of the disinformation spread by the monsters and their allies, as I said.
“They told us their intentions”
This video hinges upon listening to Israeli officials in good faith. The problem is that plenty of Israeli officials have said on record they target civilians intentionally.
The IDF, Netanyahu and this channel can’t hide behind the statements of their more disciplined spokespeople.
Israeli officials (including the Israeli president, IDF officers and diplomats) have been recorded saying this war is against “the Palestinian people” and “it’s about damage, not accuracy”. The Prime Minister himself has used dehumanizing, genocidal language calling Palestinians “the children of darkness”.
More importantly intent cannot simply be limited to the statements of spokespeople. Israel has been using the “human shields” defense for decades. They KNOW civilians will be killed in large numbers when they bomb Hamas. Israel has superior military force and intelligence. They have the capability of attacking their enemies without using large scale bombing, yet they decide to bomb anyway. In doing so they have bombed every single major civilian structure in Gaza, and all the while they have been formulating plans to move Gazan civilians out of the Strip permanently.
Communications from Israel to Egypt have exposed an Israeli plan to pay off Egyptian debt in exchange for Egypt taking the remainder of Palestinian refugees from Gaza.
AND Israel has bombed targets outside of the evacuation zone. They’ve attacked apartment buildings in South Gaza AFTER telling people to flee south.
What causes a belligerent population to want to surrender and accept peace? Have a look at history and look for examples where popular support for a war was very high in the population of a losing side and peace was welcome in the aftermath.
Nazi Germany comes to mind for many. A much more devastating war. But ultimately it was the experience of weeks if bombing raids and loss and destruction that made the final surrebder complete.
Gaza is under siege. This is the strategy. Coexisting behind lines on the map didn't work. The Palestinians still chose terrorism.
As for the supposed Egyptian-Israeli deal o take refugees, that sounds like a wise plan.
@@ems4884 Its important we remember the devastation caused by Nazi Germany - Always remember, never again, and in that spirit we adopt the notion to stop an extreme right fascist xenophobic Israel from annihilating a group of people who are dissimilar to them. - If you what hear is different from what you see - close your ears.
Uh huh the Israeli president?
As an American Jew with family in Israel I pray for peace and religious freedom on both sides. I dont have the right to say any religion is right or wrong.
All religions are wrong. Religion is one of the most destructive forces that humankind has ever inflicted upon itself.
Actually there is truth like in everything else.

I’m an Israeli, a common argument is that Israel uses white phosphorus which are banned by international law. You forgot to mention it in the video. Can you explain whether or not Israel used it or is it considered a war crime?
It is, from the Geneva Conventions: "Employing asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and all analogous liquids, materials or devices"
White phosphorus munitions are not banned under international law
@@grainofsalt2113 I know that white phosphorus is banned by international law, the quote you brought here doesn’t describe its characteristics rather it describes mustard gas and other biological weapons that are not used by the IDF. There are some cases where white phosphorus can be used legally. I just wanted a concrete explanation on if the IDF’s alleged use of it is in some way legal, there are other uses of it other that a weapon
White phosphorous is not uniformly banned under international law. Its use is covered by Protocol III of the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. The convention is only binding once signed and ratified by each nation on a protocol-by-protocol basis. Israel is not a signatory to Protocol III and can therefore legally use white phosphorous.
@@drzander3378 thank you 🙏
Dear Unpacked, as a Christian, my hope for a two-state solution doesn't fade.....but I would like to appeal and pray that the not only Palestine would be free but also may Israel and Palestine and all Jews and Arabs be thrive together peacefully and live together as one as the people of God.....
Yitzak Rabin wanted a 2 state solution, you know who killed him and ended that idea oh yeah Benyamin Netenyahu.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 you will never drop your hate, huh? Careful, or you might suffer the same fate as Hamas.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622
That is simply untrue. Perhaps education in history would be best prior to stating something that is false.
As a Christian you should know Israel is killing Christians in Gaza too and don't want you knowing about it. While they are a minority in Gaza there are still locked into the Gaza death camp and killed. Israel has intentionally targeted and destroyed a Christian hospital and the third oldest Christian church on the planet. Israeli leaders are all about having a nationalist ethnostate, that doesn't include Christians, only select groups of Jews. Christian tourists are frequently attacked, spit on, and robbed right in the middle of Tel Aviv and of course everywhere else too. They do this to Messianic and Ethiopian Jews as well. If you think Zionists have any desire for peace think again.
@jewelzb1402 Spare us your BS ok? If Israel EVER cared about a two state solution, they would never have undermined it with settlements in the occupied weet bank.
So the difference between a war crime and not a war crime is "we told you beforehand" whether earnestly or in lip service?
So the use of airstrike (and alleged WP weapon) on the city, with all the prediction on how large the casualties can be, is not "disproportionate" because "proportion" is a moot point on declared wars?
I mean, Hitler told the Jews to leave Germany beforehand, was he not a war criminal?
Hamas is a danger to Israel. They dont want it existence.
Israel isn't going anywhere, Hamas isn't going to stop trying demolishing Israel.
So Israel will demolish Hamas and won't let any dirty moves stop it, like forcing civilians to stay in a the war zone and hiding behind them.
But in the end war is war
It seems like war is really far away from where u live
If you think about things like that, most countries are war criminals.
The difference is the meaning of the attack. If Israel had been meaning to target civilians, attacking without first dropping leaflets to alert the citizens and giving time to evacuate then yeah it'd have been a war crime. But we do drop leaflets, we do secure a safe passage for citizens to pass, we do make phone calls to warn. It's not our fault that Hamas puts roadblocks to stop cars, that they send back the people who left and shoot anyone who tries to escape. This is their tactic. If people stay and we don't shoot, Hamas's location is safe. If people stay and we do shoot, Hamas can play victim while hiding in the tunnels or even other countries like cowards.
I'm pretty sure that the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan were never intended to hurt civilians. Still, that doesn't make it even less criminal especially as the decision-makers were well aware of the consequences that their decisions could bring to. If you limit your moral standards to simple intention, most international crimes in this world cease to be called crimes.
See, that's where the fact that Hamas started this war comes in. Hamas started this war and gave Israel no chance but to respond

They told them to move to the south but still bomb that area. They have killed journalists deliberately knowing they're journalists so it's all propaganda BS.
Why is no one asking HAMAS to surrender and save the very people it governs? The UN could then step in.
I believe the UN is twisted and is in kahootz with Hamas.
Preface - this is one faction of Islam, and one fairly extreme interpretation of it, I'm not claiming this is the world view of all Muslims!
Hamas is an Islamic Jihadist extremist movement, this is on their covenant from 1988 and it's on their official website, declarations, speeches etc.
"Islam is its ideology and Jihad is it's way".
What that means, essentially, is that everyone is a combatant (including women, children and the elderly, both on the Palestinian side and the Israeli, regardless of their wills and personal beliefs) - and that they will fight until either all Jews or all Muslims in the area are exterminated.
This is actually mandated in the Quran several times, both for Jewish people and also (though less times) for Christians - both are mortal enemies of Islam.
More so this is the Ibn Taymiyya interpretation, who was an Islamic scholar during the Mongolian occupation of Asia and Arabia.
Under the vicious and cruel Mongolians, Ibn Taymiyya clinged to Islamic law (Shariya) by force over the land and resistance by any and all means.
The Geneva convention wouldn't take place for centuries so that's obviously not a thing..
Just to be clear, I'm not claiming every Muslim is an extremist who would follow these passages and Hadiths to the letter, but obviously - there are enough who do.
Also, there's a "Greater Jihad" in the Quran which is an internal struggle with one's own desires - much like other monotheistic religions. But that's beside the point.
The people of Gaza are of no concern to Hamas. Hamas would see every Palestinian man woman and child slaughtered if that meant they got to murder some Jews. Hamas is decimating its own people to further their twisted agenda.
israel already asked them that lol
Is this supposed to be a joke?
Maybe if Israel identified as an Arab nation and posted their actions on telegram, maybe the celebrities etc would give them a pass?

I love this response.
The sources you use in this source are highly partial, i.e. Dr Goldfeder. There is a high degree of narrative construction present in this video, rather than actual balanced presentation of impartial opinions on the issue of whether Israel is committing war crimes. On the other hand, you have the secretary general of the UN as well as many within the Human Rights Council highlighting Israel's emerging war crimes. These are much more credible sources than those used in this video. The tone and the framing suggest it is designed to refute the allegations, rather than provide a sound analysis on whether they are true or not.
welcome to zionist propaganda 101
@Unpacked, But Amnesty International is compiling a report showing Israel attacked civilian homes where there were no signs of militants present. When all is said and done we will need to see how many Hamas soldiers they killed in each of these civilian residential buildings. Also the attacks are disproportionate and indiscriminate. You can't attack a residential building that you know is full of civilians and then claim you did not intend to attack them. My understanding is if the place you want to attack has too many civilians, the law says you should not attack at all and retreat to look for other methods of fighting your enemy.
Those are the rules! I don’t think Israel thinks they apply to them though,so there’s that. Not that The Hague cares what Israel thinks.
he won't ansewr to this he is scared of good comments 💀
Yes, but this doesn't fit our narrative.
If civilian homes have tunnel entries and tunnel shafts that makes them into military targets. Youve been misinformed.
And also you don't know how many civilians there actually were. Hamas has a tendency of overexaggerating the amount of women and children killed.
Siege on an enemy is 100% prohibited by international law.
I respect and admire the way you explain it. I have seen many debates and opinions in the media but it’s not about what “my opinion of this is…” The truth is the truth even if we disagree or not like it.
You're playing semantics here. Of course the bombing of civilians was INTENTIONAL. Why? Because the IDF struck densely populated areas knowing full well there would be heavy civilian casualties. Sounds very intentional to me. International law does not care if they were not the primary target. One may argue these civilian casualties were not the IDF''s objective, but you certainly cannot argue they were unintentional.
Hamas wants to play human shield, that's not their problem, also furthermore no one is talking about how 75% percent of the population wanted the Hamas government to start with. As well you have to establish that the IDF knew there were no weapons caches or numbers of insurgents there. This is all foolishness if there were actually intentional genocidal war crimes going on the casualties wouldn't be measured in the thousands (assuming these number are accurate you can trust neither the Israelis or Hamas.) but tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, do you even know what modern munitions are capable of. I am fairly certain the entire Gazan strip could be immediately flattened if the IDF so chose its only 140 sq. miles. Correct me where I'm wrong but there are 2 million people packed into that small place it isn't possible to prosecute a war there without large civy casualties. if you don't use airstrikes and munitions then you are fighting the insurgents gun to gun which is what they want which will increase substantially the casualties of the IDF forces, I think you idiots forget the soldiers of the IDF are people too with families. Hamas started a fire, they are just mad its burning them.
You're being anti-semantic

@@UNPACKED Cutting water, food and communications to civilian population is a war crime. It is a form of collective punishment.

@@UNPACKED Yeah, and we know the drill : "it's Hamas fault if people are dying" But I have a bad news for you : as an occupying force, Israel is responsible for the civilian population.
You can dance around this fact all you want but if Israel can cut communications, water, power, trade, fishing and freedom of movement, then Gaza is NOT and independent entity but an occupied territory.
@guypradel8874 You seem to know some of the talking points, but you should unpack the history and reality a little further -- don't worry, that's why we're here!
First of all, why are you letting Egypt off the hook? Why wouldn't they be an occupying force according to your logic?
Also did you know there was no blockade in 2005 when Israel gave the Gaza strip to the Palestinians and let them self-govern themselves? Guess what happens next - Palestinians started shooting rockets into Israel and killing and kidnapping Israelis. What would any sane, sovereign, neighboring country do in response? You can learn more here: ruclips.net/video/QG-UnD_Akmg/видео.html
Also Hamas was elected as the governing body of Gaza in 2006. If they don't want to be responsible for governing Gaza, then maybe they should resign and invite Israel back in to govern Gaza? If they only exist to wipe out Israel, and are willing to sacrifice their people for the cause, and the Gazan people vote for that, whose fault is it for what happens next?

Actually, he did. Look it up on the channel. In short, the answers are as follows:
1. Why Israel was established? To be the one place in a world where Jews will be safe and not persecuted.
2. Why is there no Palestinian state? Actually, there is, de jure. State of Palestine was officially declared into existance on November 16, 1988, and claims as its territory all of West Bank (from the Jordan river to the "Green Line", a 1949 armistice line between Israel and Jordan), and the Gaza Strip. It does not officially claim any other territory, even though most Palestinians consider the entirety of Israel their rightful land. As to why did it not exist before 1988 - Palestinians were actually offered to have their own state several times, but they rejected each offer on grounds that the proposed state did not include all of land they consider theirs. It was, and apparently, still is more important to them to make sure a Jewish State does not exist, then to have their own. They prefer to be stateless over having a Palestinian State alongside a Jewish one.
@@aoteren Yes, I know about the history of the place, I live in Israel. And I know that Israel did not want to 'occupy' the land, that was the stupidity of the Arab countries that attacked Israel a few hours after it was established, and now because of them there are Palestinian refugees, because of a war that Israel did not want.
Because Palestine never exist Palestine doesn't exist is fake parid!!!,those people are from Syria and Jordan!!!!!

Thank you for the video. Historical Israel has been threatened by every neighbor and needs to do what they must to survive. They offered peace agreements multiple times and the people and leaders in Gaza refused. In their own words they simply don't want a Jewish state. Meanwhile Hamas uses their own people as human shields. At the end of the day Israel will do what she needs to do to make sure October 7th can't happen again
What a simple view of the world that will repeat another oct 7th because Israel wants to slowly colonize the west bank and Gaza
Then they will leave Gaza again and still won't make a peace deal with the PLO because that requires removing the Israeli settler and continue this conflict

*Apartheid?* the Apartheid is on the Arab side, not in Israel. In Israel there are 2 million Arab citizens (1.8 Muslim citizens) all with the same rights and benefits. How are Jews treated in the Arab world? Talk about Apartheid, there are less than 10,000 Jews total in all the Arab and Muslim countries in the Middle East, possibly the Arab world.
Gaza and the West Bank are not Israel. They have their own governments, laws, taxes, schools, police, services. They are not Israeli citizens, but citizens of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
If a Canadian or Mexican wants to vote in US elections, can they? No, because they are citizens of other lands. Can a Canadian or Mexican come across the border to the US without identifying themselves, or giving a valid reason for their travel? No, they must have ID, and state how long they plan to stay in the US and why they are coming into US territories. That is the same as Israel with the Palestinians.
There is no Apartheid!
*Genocide?*
*_"The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group"_*
There has Never been a genocide by Israel on anyone. The Palestinians killed as the result of wars that they started, are not victims of genocide. The millions killed in Japan when the US dropped atomic bombs in WW2 ars victims of genocide. The 1 million Armenian Christians murdered by the Turks are a genocide.

Israel definitely has a right to defend itself and Hamas should definitely pay for the atrocities they committed, but while Israel may not technically be committing war crimes according to the letter of the law, it appears their response has been excessive. Even if Israel was committing war crimes, I am not confident they would report that accurately. Civilians in schools, hospitals, ambulances and residential buildings all have been bombed. Maybe the IDF isn’t specifically targeting civilians but it appears they are targeting Hamas with little to no regard for how many civilians are there. You say the purpose of the IDF’s attacks are to prevent future attacks, but when people see their families and friends get murdered and maimed they are much more likely to become radicalized. Additionally, as the IDF continues to attack disproportionately, it angers a lot of the surrounding countries. This could perpetuate the violence, thus putting Israel in more danger. Netanyahu is the best recruiter for Hamas. Israel should depose him.
It’s all about victim mentality Islam has really they use this as a weapon the main Hamas base underneath Gaza hospital is an example of this behavior government military civilian and religion all come together for the purpose of jihad
"Civialians in schools, hospitals, ambulances and residential buildings all have been bombed" simply not true, as said in the video IDF is trying to minimize civilians deaths and they do not shoot any health centers. You should also not forget why israel is bombing civilians building: hamas is storing and firing their rockets from them making them legitimate target. Instead of believing palestinian propaganda you should ask God for a refund for that empty head of yours.
Because Hamas hides between their people, under schools, hospitals, homes, mosques and in residential buildings. Those are facts. They have 500 km (300 miles) of tunnels underneath Gaza for their "soldiers" and ammunition but no room for civilians - they said so themselves. Unlike Britain in WW2 who had their people hide in the tunnels of the underground during the luftwaffe bombings, Hamas would rather sacrifice their people and they are proud of it - again they said so themselves.
Hamas should evacuate their civilians from the war zone just like Israel told them too and just like Israel did with their civilians - oh, but then Hamas won't be able to cry about war crimes.
Its somewhat of a trope by now but what is a proportional response? I see alot of criticism pointed at Israel for their unpropotional response but saying they crossed the line of proportionality implies one exists. Where is it?

This is very informative.... i literally got teary eyed watching this. 😢
Is water wet ?
No one deserves perpetual occupation...which is a war crime genius
Simple question, here's a simple answer. Yes, yes they are
Can someone explain those videos of jews taking over houses in jerusalem and those reports of systemic abuse of power by IDF?
Any video that starts with 'but does it meet the LeGaL definition of war crimes' tells how disconnected you are to humanity
lol international law i think doesn't have loopholes unlike domestic laws. i could be wrong. there are a lot of things domestically that people say 'hey i didn't break any laws' because they found some loophole because the law should instead be this or that. but when was the last time has found a loophole in international law?
You’re right in that it’s not black and white. As a combat veteran agree 100%, but to say no war crimes are committed is laughable. Yes not on purpose, but both sides will always be committing war crimes. It’s always either high brass or lower ranking soldiers. In either case it’s not reflective of the military, but it happens. I’ve witnessed and experienced it and am shocked by it. Now a days mostly everything can be recorded, but when I was in it was different. It’s the same in Ukraine, both sides are committing them. I’m pretty sure on the Ukraine side it’s not at the scale of Russia, but a crime is a crime. I just see this video as a lie by omission. Sure you mentioned the black and white but that’s it. Also you have to understand just because some law says xyz, doesn’t always make it right. And of course no mention of previous incidents which the UN SC went back n forth on Israel. We all know the UN and international law is a joke. You should get rid of your PM and his cabinet. They are a corrupt bunch. At the very least we as people should try hard to get rid of corrupt people. They’ll get away with murder, literally, but best to nix ‘em asap else the crimes continue
We were trying very hard for the last nine month to get rid of the crime minister. But, I think, after this war he will be finally gone.

@@kapasian9009 Isrealis hate Netenyahu for not protecting there borders and for creating Hamas himself to cause division in Palestine.
if it was not on purpose it was an accident - not a war crime. When Israel told them to evacuate their people and instead Hamas made sure the people didn't move - that's not on Israel - that's on Hamas and it's crimes against humanity - their own people for crying out loud.
What Hamas did on Oct. 7 to Israel, and what they have been doing to their own people for the past 20 year or so is crimes against humanity.

Thank you for the transparency
thank you guys for your support
Hamas is definitely the bad guy here and the cause of all this suffering. However, certain political tactics of the Netanyahu administration made it easier for Hamas to come to power, because the administration thought they could play Hamas against the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and thereby strengthen their own position. Netanyahu is bad news for Israel and must go.
Isreal also deported the Hamas leadership in the early 80s to Lebanon where they where tought up by Hezbollah in how to Master Garillia warfare and terrorism.
Well, most of Hamas founding (Stolen by humanitarian help btw) goes to PR for a reason
National goverment tend to underpay that department IMHO
First of all, Israel gave money to Hamas in order to help them build an economy for their people, because that's what Hamas said they wanted and Israel foolishly believed them (optimism). Also, you should know that everyone (almost) in Israel is sick of the Bibi government. He's not popular at all and people say so all the time - notice our government doesn't kill us when we speak out against them - and we do, constantly! And also, Israel at least has elections (not that it helps much) but it is much better than Hamas or Abbas for life.
as someone who emphatically opposes Netanyahu I can tell you that this is more of a certain framing of the situation or a narrow point of view, and doesn't really reflect reality.
First of all, even before Hamas there were ALWAYS Palestinians/Arabs committed to war against Israel. Before Hamas it was the PLO/Fatah and other terrorist organizations, before them it was the neighboring Arab countries that engaged in 3 wars attempting to destroy Israel. Hamas is just another name in the list, its ideology is what matters, and Netanyahu didn't create this ideology, it has existed among Arabs/Palestinians since before Israel's establishment.
Second, Netanyahu (and Sharon and other governments) reached a stalemate in the negotiations with Palestinians where their leaders weren't willing to move on, because the palestinian people aren't willing to compromise on any form of 2 state solution. From this terrible starting point, the Israeli governments now have to choose the least bad option. The general line of thought was to stop keeping Fatah alive and in power (they were helping them against Hamas) because they don't advance this conflict towards a solution. The consequences of this decision creates a power vacuum which was filled by Hamas in Gaza when Israel withdrew from the strip.
The more I try to think about it in a deep way, the more I realize that this might have been the "better" choice in the long-run although Israel should've handled it with less casualties clearly. If Israel kept the PLO in power, and hadn't gotten out of Gaza, then Hamas is weaker in the short term, but that doesn't mean it's better for Palestinians, Israelis and the advancement of peace.
@@YotamAlbalach I agree with you 100%. I am also Israeli so I know all about the terrorist organizations before Hamas. This isn't my first rodeo :)
After the war I'm sure there will be investigations and people will be held responsible. I am also not a fan of Bibi, I was never a fan of him. In my honest opinion, as soon as the war is over he should step down.
So we’re just gonna ignore the bombing of supposed safe routes as well as in the south of Gaza?
I need an honest answer from Israelis: what makes you believe that the military advantage of destroying a Jabalia to kill a few Hamas fighters will be enough, considering there is zero guarantee that a new Hamas will not prop up after it is destroyed? Especially consider Israel is handing Hamas their propaganda on a silver platter by giving in to their human shields, as you put it. This is why a lot of people have a hard time believing that it is proportional. You all know for a fact that Hamas as an idea will not die from airstrikes, you know Hamas wants you to strike them because it will make Israel look bad, and you know that for every civillian (who are 90-95% killed by each airstrike) dead, you've literally made an enemy out of their surviving families, so what exactly is gained from a defense point of view? This is why people say that civilians are intentionally targeted because from a defense point of view the actions do not make any sense.
Also I find the "we told them to flee" point of view to be very misguided. But I understand why it's hard to understand so i'll try to explain: Imagine if, Hamas is removed and a new group takes power, and decided before invading Israel that they will warn Israel. They send leaflets and emails to Israeli civillians to leave Ashkelon, leave the Kibbutz, leave Negev, to the north off to Tel Aviv and Haifa, and they will attack IDF targets as revenge for the current strikes, but in reality will not be very careful. Will the Israelis take kindly to this and see this as a "moral" army? Of course not! Because it's basically the Palestinian group saying "Leave so we can take this territory or we will kill you". THIS, by the way, is how you sound when you try to act moral for asking civilians to leave the area. Many Gazans descended from refugees from villages that used to Ashkelon, Sderot etc, and to be asked to move feels like it's happening again. Hamas may have done a second holocaust, but Israel is doing a second Nakba. Also, then to make it worse, after being told to move north, Hezbollah attacks from there into Haifa and Tel Aviv. THIS, by the way, is how you sound when after telling Gazans to move south, you bomb the south as well.
Look, I do not want to paint all Israelis as evil. I am pro-Palestinian but I acknowledge many Israelis have suffered. The fact that this video shows acknowledgement by an Israeli of the conditions of Gaza is a good step. But please, understand that Hamas committed war crimes on Oct 7th, but Israel is now committing war crimes in Gaza. What is needed is a ceasefire and forcing Arab nations like Egypt and Jordan to take part in negotiations instead of ignoring their fellow Palestinians except in lip service, but instead the U.S and Israel is continuing an aimless assault with no plan of what to do after it.
I think all Israel has done is generate more hate towards them rather than support. Now, the entire populations of Palestinians are going to want revenge for what they see as an ethnic cleansing. Futhermore, it is being condemned by a majority of countries worldwide and it will cause more Arab countries to turn against them. All because of the reckless and incompetent decisions of one man.
I do not know if i will ever come back to respond if you decide to chat with me, but as an Israeli who felt war for the first time, i can 100% say that if Hamas isn't completely destroyed, then a cease fire would be held. As a result of that, Hamas would steal the civilian's supplies, and just take it for themselves, i understand that killing innocents isn't ok whatsoever, but most of those palestinians had two choices, to by the air strike in one swift blow, or get executed by Hamas in the street. The actions of Israel aren't humane, and I completely understand the criticism, but without the death of radical groups like Hamas, the Palestinians will suffer forever, either by Hamas, or by Israel trying to remove Hamas.
I want you to know that i don't like the war, and i have to side with my own country here, because if you lived here you would arguably say the same; "My people were slaughtered in the past by this radical group and now this one? can't it stop?" and so, even with all this violence, it's the only language Hamas is going to speak, after all, the Nazis didn't stop killing jews
after they were asked to stop (I know it's cheap to bring up the Holocaust but stick with me here),it's the same thing, the Americans and the British bombed civilian german cities, even though there were civilians. because there were terrorists there (or war criminal i guess), but my point from earlier still stand, the German populous could either help the german cause, or get hanged in the middle of the road, the Palestinian aren't much different, they are stick between a rock and a hard place, Hamas and the IDF, the IDF want's Hamas to be destroyed for Israel's safety and for the palestinians, as even if the civilians didn't do anything, they are forced into subjugation or to die, Israel is helping both sides by killing Hamas, even if thousands of people will die, Israel has the right to keep itself safe.
Even if you disagree i want you to imagine this, the people in japan were bombed with a whole sun, so that Americans would stop dying, killing like 200,000 (i think), while we kill way less without wanting to, as even the japanese empire killed people for their cause, they were in the army and the people of Gaza are not, Hamas is using innocents for their own reputation to smite Israel, if Israel wants to destroy Hamas and help Gaza, then of course they would put civilians in important buildings with tunnels and such.
Until Hamas is shunned back to hell, no help to the people of Gaza will reach them, only Hamas and fueling blood curdling unnecessary deaths, i too don't want innocent palestinians to die, even if i hate them, i understand that it isn't everyone, only Hamas and organizations like Hezbollah, i hope you can learn from what i wrote, i have no problem with a palestinian state, i have a problem with an evil organizations sacrificing it's own people to gain a reputation online only for it to be used as easy fuel for anti-semitism, it's a hard topic but i had to express my opinion as an Israeli, have a nice day, and hopefully this provides a new outlook on the situation.
@@ericgur1 Granted you may not reply, I hope you see this. I want to address your comment as I've heard the rhetoric many times before. It is easy to boast of patriotism but do not think condemning war crimes makes you anti patriotic. It makes you human.
Palestinians are not lambs for slaughter and the war crimes by other countries do not justify the war crimes of yours. Innocents are not permitted to go into tunnels for safety and Israel has bombed every inch of Gaza. This isnt a just war, it is an excuse for ethnic cleansing so Israel can claim more territory. Make no mistake. Netanyahu doesnt represent Israel. Israel is more than the inhumane orders given by one man. Just because Hamas uses human shields gives Israel no right to dehumanize and destroy those so call human shields. These human shields are women and children. They could have been your wife, they could have been your children. Consider yourself lucky not to have been born in such conditions.
Do not underestimate the potential of humans to justify the most inhumane acts. If your country cares about the hostages, why take actions that could further enrage them? Why take actions that could increase international condemnation and embolden and create more enemies? Your leader is not virtuous and l hope the ppl of Israel hold him accountable. The same way the ICC are committed to doing.
I don’t like the questioning number thing, historically the ministry has been accurate. Until after the war we will no know the final count, but it is most likely close.
No they've always been wrong when it comes to breakdown of combatant vs civilian
@@ajvorob9117 I didn’t say it was. I said the count is probably close not the ratio.
@@UndecidedCryptid even the count isn't accurate because there are over 10K casualties that cant be verified according to the hamas controlled ministry of health. Which most likely means those deaths are fabricated or they died due to other causes. That leaves 23K alleged deaths that were documented. But even those are riddled with errors and fabrications.
@@UndecidedCryptid keep in mind the ministry of health never corrected the bogus "500 killed by airstrike in al ahli hospital " which was actually a misfired PIJ rocket that hit a few cars in a parking lot and killed about 40 people.

when the tanks went in to this part of gaza there is no point of even being there at this point if you are there its because you are trying something plus they might had some information that there is an rpg or they are trying to destroy the tank but why dont you ask the same question to the organisation that killed more then 800 cevillians which is a war crime actually plus kidnapping more then 240 that is a warcrime and firing more then 9000 rockets at cevillians which is again a war crime

The lie they sold u to fight for zionism
and even that wasn't safe on 7/10/23. Do people forget so easily the massacre, slaughter, depraved, brutal and barbaric acts of savagery on innocent civilians in Israel on 7th October. This was the worst carnage in Israel's history, but this is nothing new to the Israeli, after being subjected to too numerous to mention suicide bombers within Israel for decades. Im from Scotland and a dearly beloved member of our community was the victim of a terrorist attack in Jerusalem in 2002 at the age of 19. If you google him Yoni Jesner you will see details of his death and the aftermath. In fact, some of his organs were donated by the family and his kidney was donated to a little Palestinian girl, which saved her life. She will be about 30 today. I hope none of her family were involved in 7/10/23. the Palestinian cause has completely distorted the narrative, it is Hamas who committed genocide on the Israeli people. Their mission that day, was to murder as many Jews as possible, you can listen to the transcript of a phone message which journalists were privy to, of a Hamas terrorist calling his parents to announce and rejoice in the fact he had just killed 9 Jews with his bare hands. He was calling on the phone of the Jewish woman he had murdered. He was absolutely ecstatic and looking for his parents to praise and extol him. They did seem quite pleased but were urging him to return home, but no, he said he wanted to stay and kill more Jews. Does Israel want to kill as many Palestinians as possible. no, they want to destroy a terrorist organisation to make the whole world a safer place. so no Israel is not committing genocide and in fact thousands of Palestinians were able to leave Gaza and go into Israel every day for work. Is that the behaviour of a country that wants to commit genocide. Not as far as Im concerned.
Israel right now is also not a safe place either.

Save your defense for the war crimes tribunal.
It's unbelievable how one side does everything within its power to prevent civilian casualties by warning them to evacuate more than 2 weeks in advance of its ground invasion at the cost of risking its own troops, just to save innocent lives, while the other INTENTIONALLY targets civilians. This tells the whole story of this war.
evacuate where exactly? and how? to south Gaza? by the only 2 roads that lead there? they were bombed by Israelis, such merciful Israelis, they give instructions and warnings to evacuate north Gaza through the western corridor and then bomb the very road they instructed to use.
every Muslim on planet earth condemns any military action againsts any civilian, have you tried condemning that yourself? or are you just going to act like the 8500 Palestinians that died due to carpet bombing is a by product of targeting Hamas? what part of Cancer hospital screams Hamas to you? what part of bakery (they target even food sources) scream Hamas to you? what about the 9,300 civilians that the IDF attacked in the west bank? there is absolutely 0 Hamas presence there, so what did they attack them too?
it's an ethnic cleansing, they escaped Nazi Germany just to bring it to the middle east.
Evacuate where? Borders are closed they have no where to run.
To the south of the strip, where its significantly safer for them. I guess Hamas wants to keep them in the north as sheilds and doesn't let them leave @@ojethbulatao
800 THOUSAND people already evacuated which only goes to show that it is possible. The rest that are now caught in the north of the strip are being kept there FORCEFULLY by Hamas who won't let them leave to safety.
I realize that there's no place that's actually 100% safe in the strip now, but just by looking at the map of strikes carried out by the IDF you can CLEARLY see that the south is much much safer than the north.
The fact that the refugee camp was bombed yesterday and people are still in it, being bombarded again today, suggest that they are being forced to stay there. The fact that Hamas said that Israeli captives were killed as a result of this attack proves without any doubt that Hamas indeed operates from within dense civilian areas.
So, in short, my answer to these people in the north of the strip is - buy yourself a f*cking compass and start making your way south if you want to get away from the fighting@@WhyThesePeople
The citizens of Gaza were not given enough time to evacuate before Israel started bombing though. There is no way for that many people to evacuate in such a short amount of time. On top of that: Israel told the Gazans to evacuate to the south, then proceeded to bomb the south anyways, resulting in even more civilian casualties.
I hate Hamas, as should any morally upright person, but I won't pretend for a second that the Israeli government gives a single crap about Palestinian citizens. That's all talk, image and saving face.

Correct, this is covered in the fourth statute (iv) that he failed to even analyze. Under that, Israel is committing war crimes daily. Period. His argument is like saying no crime is being committed because nobody is jay walking and then analyzing jaywalking. Unfortunately, there are more laws than just laws against jaywalking.
@@RC-qf3mpadd that to the fact Israel has made it clear they don’t care about how many civilians they kill, and they constantly refer to the Palestinians with dehumanising language
War is horrible, and no sane person wants it to happen. However, acts of war are not war crimes unless they violate the rules of war. The tragic fact that one side suffers more than the other doesn’t mean that the stronger side is criminal. I stand with Israel 🇮🇱
So bombing a refugee shelter filled with children is not a war crime? Get real.
I would say, no sane and properly informed person. Until about ww1 it was widely believed in Western countries that war was a noble adventure. But the reality of modern mechanized warfare soon caught up with this illusion born of ignorance.

3:28 the thing is the International law forbids to target civilians, not to collateral kill with the actual militant targets
Right so considering Hamas killed one IDF member to every one civilian they actually have a better ratio than Israel, so youre saying they havent commited any war crimes either?

Ok I have to call you out on this... Claiming it is not a violation of international law to impede access of food, water and medicine to a massive civilian population is total BS.
And as for your "why would Israel do that when it does not help their cause?"... What alternate reality are you living in where countries do what makes sense to do instead of what they WANT to do?

Yes, and they're idiots.
Most Jews don't like Benyamin Netenyahu but most Jews also support an Isreali state. The Vast Majority of Jews don't want to eredicate the state of Isreal from the map which Palestinians and Hamas wants.
Do they have the intention to kill civilians? Shows a clip of the israel ambassador to Canada instead maybe someone with more authority like, I dont know, the president of israel who said:
“it is an entire nation who are responsible. This rhetoric about civilians supposedly not being involved is absolutely untrue and we will fight until we break their backs."
What about the refugee camp that supposedly had one hamas member, without providing any evidence.
And the point about hamas needing a body count to justify attacking israel, if anyone has half a brain about this conflict they’d know it’s because of apartheid and the occupation happening to palestinians. Thats the reason. Amnesty international has it all on their website.
And shutting off water, electricity and preventing aid is a war crime because it’s a form of collective punishment.
The only thing you got right is that most palestinian dont want hamas but that’s their only form of resistance.
And there’s currently torture videos by the idf on palestinian workers in the west bank which is a clear war crime. Look it up people.

The answer is NO. Israel is defending civilians who don't want to die.
Al-quds hopital disagrees.
@@jonathaslopes8038 Al-quds hospital is run by Hamas. Of it disagrees.
Just like America was defending citizen who didn't want to die in the states by killing civilian who didn't want to die in Iraq and Afghanistan
You need to educate yourself on international humanitarian law and the Geneva convention.
@@itaiharshoshanim-ib6kpThe targeting of an enemy hospital is a war crime genius. 🤡 You need to educate yourself on international humanitarian law and the Geneva convention and the UN charter.

hey @unpacked could you solve this riddle for me? 🧐
What riddle?
Amazing video. Huge respect, thanks, and encouragement to keep doing more of the same.
Much appreciated!
@@UNPACKEDwhat the hell is wrong with you? Telling half of the people in one of the worlds most densely populated areas "evacuate the northern half" is demanding the impossible and acting surprised when it doesnt happen and 5 Palestinian children (so far) have been killed for every Israeli death. The U.N. has said as much and told Israel they were living in fantasyland to claim as much.
You disgust me. History was not kind to the Nazis... and when the dust settles it won't be kind to and your disingenuous equivocation either. Saying "well the bomb killed 20 children, but it was aimed at the one guy we were trying to kill..." ... Dude... WTF????? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY JUSTIFYING THAT BS LOGIC EVEN IN YOUR OWN HEAD????
@@UNPACKEDyou literally sat up here and said Israel isn’t targeting civilians on purpose as if they would ever admit to war crimes. They lie about everything! IT’s videos showing them killing innocent people and laughing about it. IDF soldiers on TikTok saying they hope they kill all the children. You know just like any other human being NOBODY IS GOING TO ADMIT to a crime! If police detectives used your logic….nobody would be in prison!!! Did you commit this murder sir? No I didn’t. Well I guess he’s innocent.

@@machsimillian14 maybe.. that still doesn’t change the fact that Israel has so many enemies in the region attacking it from all fronts. Why?? Because it’s the only democratic country/state in the region, prosperous and is a military power . The region has always been a hot spot- Jews did not create the Syrian or Jordanian civil war (Black September) - the economic crisis in Lebanon or civil unrest in Iran. Do some research for heavens sake and get the facts straight. Don’t be a hater!
@@user-xs6ss2dh5p take your own advice and research the issue. I suggest that you start with B'tselem an Israeli human rights organizations. Then look up Ilan Pappé, Miko Peled, and Breaking the Silence. Great places to start your research.

@@UNPACKED anti-Israelis are gonna keep getting the wrong idea about the true evidence you bring right?
No it shouldn't, it's propaganda.
Can you just ask Google what genocide is and then ask chat gpt if killing 10,000 people is a genocide. Please make a video of what you find!
Because hamas hides behind people.stupid
I did... chat GPT called me anti-Semitic
Wow. This was incredible. Great job Unpacked team.
Israel just bombed the Jabalia refugee camp killing 50 civilians to target one Hamas leader with no warning whatsoever. Guess that constitutes a war crime according to your definition as they were clearly aware of the civilian cost and still proceeded with the bombing of this densely populated area. In other words, they were willing to sacrifice tens of innocent lives to hit one target (guess they couldn't wait to get him later during their ground operation) and admitted this was deliberate and not an accident. Also, worth mentioning that this channel is Israeli and definitely not unbiased. Get your information from independent journalists with no skin in the game to educate yourself on this genocide, oops meant conflict
great video, thank you for the info
hey @Unpacked do you have any comments on the mass graves, the demolished palestininan university, the people killed while sleeping in that hospital, the 3 israeli surrendering hostages killed by the IDF, all the hospitals of Gaza bombed, the cementery the IDF desecrated, the use of white phosphorus on civilian areas, cutting water and electricity in Gaza, the mosques and other religious buildings brought down, the murder of a civilian carrying a white flag by an Israeli sniper, the non-consensual organ transplants, the demolition of civilian homes and agricultural infraesrtucture, torture against underage palestinian citizens, opening fire on protesters and clandestine executions of blidfolded and barefoot prisioners?
Non of those would happen to be a war crime would it?
Hey @AntonioLopez-zf3eh seems like you have a lot of question, happy to unpack them and educate you further.
First off, not sure if you’re ever been in one or know much about war, but war is complicated and tragic
White phosphorus- its use is not a war crime.
Hospitals, universities, mosques, civilian homes used for military purposes, or military tunnels built underneath them - that makes them legitimate and legal military targets. But yes, Hamas using civilians and civilian infrastructure for military purposes is a war crime, thank you for pointing that out.
3 surrendering hostages, and other civilians shot - killed accidentally, not a war crime. It’s a shame that Hamas’ strategy of pretending to be civilians and literal false flags helps lead to that.
Water and electricity: we addressed that in the video you’re commenting on (ruclips.net/video/kCcF947BlBs/видео.htmlsi=0SDnUCTpbjZThCLa) and here:
ruclips.net/video/b6LILmHD6nE/видео.htmlsi=BwchlSgF0IYfQrdS
Naked and barefoot prisoners: we made a video about that here:
ruclips.net/video/KFS8Htz6zXE/видео.htmlsi=dOJ_4zslYK3xHC9y
Let us know if you have any further questions - we know this is a complicated subject, but that’s why we’re here for you!
bro just said white phosphorus is not a war crime 💀@@UNPACKED
i swear you just can't make this up lol, also:
You just implied that the CIVILIAN carrying a white flag shot down by a gunmen on an IDF tank was an undercover hamas member? I mean even then it violates de Geneva Conventions but to say that it was a "false" flag and that he was hamas it's defamation and it is easily debunkable. (people can Google it)
The three Israeli hostages were not killed accidentally, they were shot.
Your videos about water and electricity and the torture of civilians don't mention international law even once, and don't deny that those aren't war crimes.
Not a shread of real evidence has been shown to determine a single hospital, university, school, mosque or church has been used with military purposes in Gaza, (that was said by the CNN btw, not me).
Saying tha Hamas is using civilians with military purposes just because they live in the same area, is an excuse to kill innocent people, and everyone can see through that.
Saying that shot down civilians are an accident indicates two things, the IDF is either lying, or very bad at identifing the targets. We also can see through that.
Also:
*You selectively forgot to comment about some topics I mentioned:*
The torture on KIDS (with visual evidence and witnesses),
The non-consensual organ transplants (with visual evidence and witnesses),
The demolition of civilian homes and agricultural infraesrtucture (with visual evidence and witnesses)
Opening fire on protesters (with visual evidence and witnesses)
Clandestine executions (with visual evidence and witnesses)
The people killed while sleeping in that hospital (with visual evidence and witnesses)
The cementery the IDF desecrated (with visual evidence and witnesses)
All the above are war crimes.
For your information, in order to debunk these events, you would need to provide visual evidence AND witnesses, not a propagandistic video from an Apartheid country.
War IS complicated, no doubt about that, but this isn't a war, hence there aren't two armies, two countries or even two airforces fighting against each other. This is an invasion, period.
Israel has NOT yet declared war on anyone, and _I'll leave it there because this comment is too long anyways, but you can look up the definition of war aswell.
You say again that it's a complicated subject, and it has akways been, but you are not the first ones to think this, just like Israel is not the first country to commit atrocities to its neighbors.
Thats why the Geneva Convention and The Nuremberg Principles are on Google, and you can download them as PDF files, so ythat even if it's complicated, you can check if someone on mainstream media or a RUclips channel is lying.
@ED
Can you show any law that the use of white phosphorus is always a war crime? 🧐
@@UNPACKED It is in the way Israel is using it, (there is this thing called International Law, and it's written and avalible for the public so countries can't lie about their actions being illegal).
-(The Weapons Law Enyclopedia of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights is a pioneering online compilation of information on the regulation of weapons under public international law).
From the Weapons Law Encyclopedia:
White phosphorus (WP) is an incendiary and toxic chemical substance used as a filler in a number of different munitions that can be employed for a variety of military purposes.
*1980 Protocol on Incendiary Weapons*
The 1980 Protocol III on Incendiary Weapons of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons restricts use of incendiary weapons as a means or method of warfare during armed conflict.
*1992 Chemical Weapons Convention*
The 1992 Chemical Weapons Convention prohibits the development, production, stockpiling, transfer and use of chemical weapons and requires States Parties to destroy chemical weapon stockpiles.
Owing to the incendiary effects of WP, munitions containing WP can fall within the ambit of the 1980 Protocol on Incendiary Weapons (Protocol III to the 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons). The Protocol defines incendiary weapons as:
*Any weapon or munition which is primarily designed to set fire to objects or to cause burn injury to persons through the action of flame, heat, or combination thereof, produced by a chemical reaction of a substance delivered on the target.*
In keeping with this definition, any munition, including improvised devices, containing WP and that is ‘primarily designed’ to set fire to objects or to cause burn injury to persons is covered by the Protocol’s provisions. Consequently, aerial delivery, in the conduct of hostilities, of incendiary weapons containing WP within a concentration of civilians is prohibited.
Basically, the videos are during the middle of the day on an empty street, where the use wouldn't be justified as illuminating or obscuring for strategic purposes. Hence making it a war crime.
PLEASE cite verifiable and official sources when refuting comments people might think you are dishonest. It also makes you look more profesional, citing other YT videos by the same channel is not providing real evidence for your arguments. 😋
The story doesn't commence on the 7th of October. It's Clair who initiated this inhumane war at the beginning,
in west bank, there is no Hamas, and Israel keep colonising and terrorizing Palestinians
Before Israel occupied the West Bank, Palestinian still launched attacks.

Are we ignoring the whole the focus is on damage and not accuracy from Daniel Hagari?
Oh yeah, and as civilians in Gaza were evacuating to the south, they were hit by an airstrike and along with that several sites in the south of Gaza have been hit. Zionist talking points are annoyingly repetitive
Plain NO. Wars have casualties among civilians. But it's the first war that i encounter where a country's army (if that is Hamas for the Palestinians?) doesn't want it's own civilians to evacuate a war zone. What is THEIR moral ground? And BTW while they sunk millions in making these km of tunnels under their territory they didn't spare a cent to make bunkers to protect their civilians. And that's saying something.
That’s some pretty good stuff you’ve written there but are you sure you have all of the facts correct?
What about the phosphor though? is that considered a warcrime?
It was declared a war crime to use any form of poison gas during war after poison gas was used in the First World War.
