Hundreds of thousands march in London, demanding end to Gaza genocide

Wake up to the reality, modern Zionism is terrorism.

The IDF is the most brutal terror organization in the world.

Israel is the only country in the world that isn’t allowed to bomb its enemies.

If any other country does it, it’s to protect themselves. When Israel does it, it’s “genocide”.

It is allowed to bomb their enemies, and their families and their children, and their schools and hospitals.

They just all categorize them as enemy, which is the problem.

Summing up the situation as “bombing their enemies” only shows your ignorance or bias.

They are running a starvation campaign. They created a million refugees, then they carpet bomb the refugee camps. They destroyed almost all of the hospitals, schools, and places of worship in Gaza. They rape Palestinian prisoners, and when the rapist was going to be prosecuted, the populace protested and made him a social media star. The civilian leadership has called for the starvation and extermination of the entire population on hundreds of occasions. I could go on and on, the list of Israeli war crimes in the past year is horrendously long.

And now they aren’t just attacking Gaza, they are invading Lebanon as well, doing the same war crimes.

These with crayons in their school bags?

Why is Hamas never blamed for using human shields?

Israel justifies nearly every attack on civilians that way

Human Shields

Hamas:

Intentionally utilizing the presence of civilians or other protected persons to render certain areas immune from military attack is prohibited under international law. Amnesty International was not able to establish whether or not the fighters’ presence in the camps was intended to shield themselves from military attacks. However, under international humanitarian law, even if one party uses “human shields”, or is otherwise unlawfully endangering civilians, this does not absolve the opposing party from complying with its obligations to distinguish between military objectives and civilians or civilian objects, to refrain from carrying out indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks, and to take all feasible precautions to spare civilians and civilian objects.

Israel:

Additionally, there is extensive independent verification of Israel using Palestinians as Human Shields:

Deliberate Attacks on Civilians

Israel deliberately targets civilian areas. From in general with the Dahiya Doctrine to multiple systems deployed in Gaza to do so:

Israel also targets Israeli Soldiers and Civilians to prevent them being leveraged as hostages, known as the Hannibal Directive. Which was also used on Oct 7th.
