(4,225 posts)Quite frankly, cause it would not have a water or food problem if they used the millions and millions of dollars sent to them by Iran and other countries for infrastructure rather than diverting them to greeting the worlds largest terror base. People have been accusing the Jews of genocide for decades while the Gaza and West Bank populations explode. Israel is just not good at genocide. A lot has to do with the fact that they keep announcing that theyre going to bomb occupied buildings so that innocent civilians can get out in time.
But you can do your own fact checking, since Israel is either a) warning civilians by knocking on rooftops, spreading leaflets, text messages, phone calls before bombing domiciles, hospitals, schools that Hamas uses to stage attacks from OR b) they are not. They have lost more than their share of IDF conscripts who have gone into Gaza by ground so as not to level the place and be targeted in their war. You can probably fact check that too if youre inclined to see past a radical Islamist propaganda agenda.
A llittle research into urban warfare and using citizens as shields would reveal that Israel has gone above and beyond any other country in modern history in trying to avoid collateral damage. Of course, that would require getting news from somewhere other than Palestinian sympathetic sources.
When you say the Jewish people here in the US are not in any danger of facing exposure or genocide, I might differ with you. I am sending a daughter to college this fall and Im very nervous given the degree of antisemitism on campus these days. Perhaps you havent come across the right news sources, but most Jewish students in the university setting are facing extreme levels of bullying and harassment, which would not seem to be related to the Israel/Gaza problem unless of course, anti-Semitism.
