“It is better, so the Fourth Amendment teaches us, that the guilty sometimes go free than the citizens be subject to easy arrest.” - Former Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
If you read the judgement, there's no evidence that he did.
> Sounds like an actual attack on democracy.
There is. And it's by the side you are on.
To be clear: attempting to destroy a people for simply being a type of people is different from focusing on a state.
One can be at war and still be committing genocide.
If Israel is committing a genocide can you explain the following:
- Roof knocking
- Aid convoys
- Pamphlets and phone calls warning before strikes
- Arab Israelis
- Israeli boots on the ground resulting in Israeli casualties. Why not just carpet bomb?
- If Israel is just trying to kill Palestinians, can you explain this? Are they just really bad at genocide? "Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza Strip since last October, exceeding World War II bombings in Dresden, Hamburg, London combined"[1]. If this is true and Israel is trying to wipe out Palestinian the casualties should be a multiple of what it is now. During WW2, in two day "It is thought that some 25,000–35,000 civilians died in Dresden in the air attacks, though some estimates are as high as 250,000"[2]. The bombing in Hamburg: "killing an estimated 37,000 people in Hamburg, wounding 180,000 more"[3]. And there is also the blitz: "More than 40,000 civilians were killed by Luftwaffe bombing during the war, almost half of them in the capital, where more than a million houses were destroyed or damaged." So two questions: Were the Allies committing genocide in WW2? How are there so few casualties when the Gaza strip is so dense? How is there anyone alive at all?
