Israeli envoy to Austria suggests executing Gaza minors in secret recording (www.middleeasteye.net)

Israel’s ambassador to Austria, David Roet, has suggested executing Palestinian minors involved in armed conflict, a secretly recorded video has revealed.

During a closed-door meeting with the local Jewish community in Innsbruck on Thursday, Roet said that “there should be a death sentence” for teenagers for “holding a gun” or a “grenade”. He provided no evidence of children carrying weapons in Gaza.

The video was recorded two days after Israel broke the Gaza ceasefire on 18 March, by which time more than 500 Palestinians were killed, of which almost 200 were children.

Roet dismissed concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza, stating: “If you believe that there are no uninvolved [people] in Gaza… you’re believing that Israel is targeting babies intentionally, which is not correct.”

Hmmmm, I swear I’ve heard this somewhere before…

Oh yeah it was the Bush administration defining “Enemy Combatant” as any “adult male.” As in “they looked adult enough to me,” which when you contrast with evidence that young black men are viewed as older and less innocent to white Americans leaves one going “Ah, so any boy aged 14 and up, really.” Because young men from Afghanistan and Iraq are surely brown enough to elicit the same feelings in the invading (mostly white) forces.

Worse, as evidenced in Collateral Murder, most of these decisions were being made from up-above and far-away either from attack planes and helicopters or drones. This meant if you were a young man who “looked” the right age from a blurry camera a half mile away and you were carrying something that “looked like” a weapon, they could rain hellfire down upon you with no consequences.

The irony is that the exact same people defending the Bush massaceres in Iraq are using the exact same arguments to defend the genocide in Gaza. “Most moral army, airstrike clearance” etc etc.

Notably edgelord content creators such ss Asmongold and Destiny.

That’s not irony, irony is something unexpected - those two behaviors are exactly consistent and congruent with one-another.

I left out a little context. The irony is: All those people supporting the Iraq invasion said they regretted it a decade later, and admitted they were wrong.

You think people are going to stay uninvolved after their spouses, children, parents, friends, neighbours, loved ones are killed by bombs, missiles, stormtroopers?

Israel is strongly playing that abused child card.

They’ve already been doing all of those things for years… Look at how the world is dealing with it. States are lining up to support a state committing genocide. Gazans have been opposing it both armed and unarmed but are vilified by western states just the same.

Yeah it’s going on forever but you’d think, after it failed time and time again, that they’d learn that violence begats violence, never capitulation.

There already is a death-sentence for being Palestinian & being a child, while the IDF is pointing a rifle in your general direction, as the statistics prove ( & video of their children being killed for sport, too )…

Even more dangerous being a Palestinian child than being a journalist, in Palestine, when the IDF’s around…

Scroll down to the bottom of this, & get to finally get past all the … shit “web interaction” of their site, … to the graph…

www.reuters.com/graphics/…/byvrxlqeqve/

13,320 children’s lives destroyed by “Israel” … that wouldn’t be the same “Israel” as the one that Isaiah was of & loyal-to, would it …

( no, it wouldn’t )

& these gaslighters want to pretend that they were all armed combatants??

I’m sure…

No matter: their Continuums/Souls/CellsOfG-D will reincarnate into more of the hell-mess they make/enforce, to continue that “religion”, until some other world crops-up with opportunity to outgrow it…

Their opportunity to outgrow it among this world is pretty-much gone:

population-polarization’s only going to be increasing, from here until the end of The Great Filter, in the 2070’s or 2080’s, now…

Churchill’s “never argue with drunks or fanatics” rule is pertinent, to any aliens considering opening-discussions with our species: don’t bother, there’s no intelligent life down here.

Palestinian teenagers joining the ranks of armed groups like Hamas are nothing new.

I have read several reports of Gazan boys being used as unarmed sentries and scouts by militants.

Sure, the IDF takes in a few 17 year olds. I haven’t heard of anyone underage serving in combat though. I’m sure it happened during the war of independence and earlier at times though.

Hamas reportedly used minors in military roles in Gaza, mostly lookouts and such.

Military training for 15 year old teenagers is not the same as 17 year olds.

Israel is a state and can legally recruit 16 year olds and older. I’m not aware that Israel does this though. Hamas as a non state actor is only allowed 18 years and above.

The use of minors by Palestinian armed groups has been documented many times over the decades.

Have you ever talked to Palestinians? This isn’t even a secret. The youth culture, especially in refugee camps, is big on idolizing martyrs.

The most recent example of a terrorist group run by teenagers is Lion‘s Den in the West Bank.

Now, is every Palestinian teenager member of an armed group and fighting actively? Certainly not.

geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml on 24 Mar 16:32 collapse

Wow reportedly Hamas uses scouts now instead of armed children. At least reportedly according to Jfeed? I guess that is why the IDF kills so many children. All those kids without weapons were actually on the lookout. Must be valid military targets.

Hamas as a non-state actor is only allowed 18 and above.

My sides. Oh my sides.

Look at this guy justifying the extermination of literal children with timesofisrael articles and a wikipedia page… this is unhinged. You can try and spin it as an educational post, but reading through the different statements you’ve made regarding this genocide, you clearly do not value the lives of Palestinians and their right of self determination as highly as you do israelis.

I laughed when I read your futile attempt at moral redemption.
