I agree on the premise that occupation is not a defensive strategy.

Even if it is. If their defense requires them to turn another people into second class citizens in their own lands, then fuck them.

Don't you hear? It's a popular Palestinian pastime (alliterations anyone?) to pass by the Mossad on your way to work and cry over the atrocities committed against your people.

They're not, but they're currently committing 0 (zero) genocides.

Depends on how much interaction there is qith the people across the border, but it's common to know (not learn, since you naturally acquire it) both.

I think you misunderstand something. You don't need to kill everyone for it to be genocide. That is why the Un definition is as broad as it is. The Germans genocided the Slavs and they never had any intention of wiping them out (the survivors were meant to become slaves). Europran colonizers committed genocide against North Americans and wiping them out was just a side effect, not the point.

I see you're not even trying to deny that Hezbollah has, indeed, been firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel nearly every day.

I mean Israel was doing exactly the same thing. Literally the same thing. Their "targeted" airstrikes aren't any better than what Hezbollah does.

I mean take a look at South Africa's case. They have evidence of genocidal acts (causing significant harm to an ethnic group) and genocidal intent (the countless quotes from high ranking Israeli officials calling for genocide). It's genocide; it's just that the case is taking a while.

I mean we're looking at at least 10%. That's... Uh... A lot, to say the least.

I was wondering what else Spain was expected to do, then read "weapons trade valued at over 1 billion". Yeah that makes sense.

I mean this itself isn't a problem, because who the fuck builds their headquarters in the middle of nowhere? But it's ironic given they keep crying about Hamas headquarters being in residential areas (again, who builds their headquarters in the middle of nowhere).

Clearly anything Hamas does is justified retaliation

No? They definitely weren't justified in raping and killing civilians in October 7th. However, as an oppressed and occupied people, they have a permanent casus belli against Israel until the latter starts taking serious steps towards peace, so the act of attacking Israel on October 7th (remember that 66% of the dead were military or security targets; they didn't just kill some civilians and leave) itself is a legitimate act of resistance.
