All proof put forward about Gaza is apparently propaganda and selectively edited clips all somehow arranged by Hamas who lives in tunnels without running water, electricity or internet...Highly unlikely.
Israeli Jewish scholars call the Israeli occupation a war crime and their actions now a genocide.
Veterans of the IDF incl 3 chiefs of the Mossad signed a letter to netenyahu to bring home the hostages even if it means ending the war. It's ignored. Tamir Pado a former chief of mossad called what israel is doing in gaza "insane" and that it "accomplishes nothing".

Israel is still refusing independent media outlets to verify the claims that are being made. Israeli soldiers are now coming forward claiming that shooting civilians was done whenever their commanders felt like it and whenever they felt like committing a war crime, one happened with zero consequences. Doctors have come forward that worked in clinics testifying that they witnesses children being shot in the head and torso by israeli snipers and the list goes on and on. You then say bad apples and that people committing these war crimes will be charged. But to my knowledge none have? Israel just bombed, by mistake they say, a clinic where people were getting water. Who was charged there for killing 9 kids?
Now the defence minister Israel Katz will prepare a concentration camp for all of gazas remaining population and prepare them to be exiled from their homes forever and yet you claim this is still not enough to call it genocide or even a war crime.

You’re repeating claims like they’re facts but skipping the part where actual evidence is supposed to show up.

Saying Hamas can’t run propaganda because they live in tunnels is absurd. They have a full media network, foreign backers, control over Gaza’s health ministry, and they’ve used civilian deaths as a PR weapon for years. This is not a conspiracy, it’s their strategy.

A few Israeli academics or ex-officials using the word genocide doesn’t make it legally true. There’s no global consensus. Most serious legal experts agree that the threshold for genocide is intent to destroy a people, not tragic civilian casualties in war. You don’t prove genocide by quoting opinions.

The “soldiers” and “doctors” you refer to are almost always anonymous or connected to activist groups with clear agendas. If there are credible cases, they should be investigated. Israel has prosecuted its own before. Hamas never has, not once, despite openly filming its crimes.

You talk about lack of independent media, but reporters from Al Jazeera, AP, Reuters, and multiple NGOs are operating in Gaza. What you really mean is that Israel doesn’t let unrestricted access during live combat. No army does. Not the US, not Russia, not Ukraine.

As for the clinic, the deaths were a tragedy, but in war a mistaken strike is not automatically a war crime. You need to prove intent to kill civilians. If that’s your standard, the US should be charged with genocide every time a drone strike hits the wrong target.

And claiming that Israel Katz is preparing a concentration camp is just dishonest. He talked about moving civilians out of combat zones, not building extermination camps. Using that term casually is offensive and manipulative. You can disagree with policy without hijacking Holocaust terminology.

So again, if you have actual, verified proof of systemic war crimes or genocide, bring it. If not, stop tossing around slogans. Justice needs facts.

Goebbels would be impressed by the current propaganda machine over there.

your being dishonest again, no one said extermination camp, you did. there is a distinct difference between a concentration camp and a death camp. learn history. if you are goading us into making this distinction and using that to suggest that there is nothing wrong with Israeli plans for a concentration camp well, honestly, i am just going to roll my eyes. again.

Concentration Camp vs Death Camp

Concentration Camp

A concentration camp is a facility where large groups of civilians, political prisoners, or perceived enemies of the state are detained, usually without trial. The term originated during the Spanish-Cuban War (1896) and the Second Boer War (1899–1902), where civilians were placed in camps to isolate them from guerrilla fighters. Nazi Germany operated concentration camps as early as 1933 (e.g., Dachau), targeting political opponents, Jews, Roma, disabled people, LGBTQ individuals, and others. Initially, these camps were primarily for forced labor, detention, and persecution.

Death Camp (Extermination Camp)

A death camp or extermination camp refers to facilities explicitly designed for mass murder, especially during the Holocaust. Nazi Germany created six main death camps — including Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec — with the primary function of executing people (mostly Jews) systematically using gas chambers, shootings, starvation, and more.

You are playing word games to avoid the real issue
The term “concentration camp” is loaded for a reason. He used it knowing exactly the emotional and historical weight it carries, especially when talking about Israel. Now that I pushed him back, you are falling on technical definitions to justify it.

If the goal was to describe temporary relocation zones or holding areas, he could have used terms like “evacuation centers” or “civilian zones.” But he did not. He chose “concentration camp” to provoke and to paint Israel in the worst possible light.

So do not act surprised when people call that out. It is not honest language. It is an attempt to win an argument by emotional framing, not by facts.

No the word concentration camp was not dishonest language it's unfortuantely very honest language.

Quote
Israel Katz told journalists on Monday he wanted to establish a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of the city of Rafah to initially house about 600,000 Palestinians - and eventually the whole 2.1 million population.
He said the goal was to bring people inside after security screening to ensure they were not Hamas operatives, and that they would not be allowed to leave.
If conditions allowed, he added, construction would begin during a 60-day ceasefire that Israel and Hamas are trying to negotiate.
One Israeli human rights lawyer condemned it as nothing less than an "operational plan for a crime against humanity".
"It is all about population transfer to the southern tip of the Gaza Strip in preparation for deportation outside the strip," Michael Sfard told the Guardian newspaper.

It's no longer a discussion whether it's a genocide. It's now an undisputable fact. Failing to recognize this should be as blatantly absurb as denying the holocaust itself. Now we need it to stop and find a solution to move forward. The world after world war two said "never again" . It didn't say "your turn".

Calling a temporary relocation zone inside Gaza a “concentration camp” is pure spin. No one’s being sent to gas chambers. No one’s being deported outside the Strip. It’s wartime screening in a combat zone not genocide.

Quoting one pro Hamas lawyer doesn’t make it a crime against humanity. And comparing this to the Holocaust is offensive, not persuasive.

You want the war to end? Tell Hamas to surrender and release the hostages. Everything else is noise.

They will not be allowed to leave, Katz said, according to Israeli media. Eventually, the defense minister said the entire population of Gaza – more than 2 million Palestinians – will be held in the zone. Katz then vowed that Israel would implement a plan, first floated by US President Donald Trump, to allow Palestinians to emigrate from Gaza to other countries.

Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have eagerly supported the emigration plan, despite no country publicly expressing any willingness to take part. At a White House dinner with Trump Monday, Netanyahu said, “We’re working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realize what they always said, that they want to give the Palestinians a better future, and I think we’re getting close to finding several countries.”

It doesn't make sense to me because it doesn't make sense to Bibi or Katz. They want them gone. All of them.
