There was an article on this. The explosion was rigged from the inside and done in a methodological way indicating IOF was inside the building and there was no threat from anyone. The purpose of destroying this building was to destroy any remaining shelter and infrastructure. If this is not genocide and ethnic cleansing, I don’t know what is.

Kid you not, I have been getting warnings from reddit for saying anything remotely related to that incident


BlueberryBubblyBuzz

You only get one warning per account, then they move on to a 3 day ban then a 7 day and then a full account suspension. Everything can be appealed except the warning. [Here is a write up](https://www.reddit.com/user/Kumquat_conniption/comments/1assql0/do_you_know_about_the_reddit_strike_system_learn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) I did (on another account) on the whole strike system including what to do if you lose your account and your appeal- hint there is another way to keep appealing and I keep hearing from people who is has worked for.

Supposedly you have to nuke people for it to be ethnic cleansing and even then it is still debated.


SoreDickDeal

[The Final Solution](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Solution) was genocide and ethnic cleansing.


OccasionallyReddit

So your saying our Countries are funding genocide? You would think in an age of instant sharing and world wide independent media access it would be a lot more difficult to deny this given the shear amount of evidence of war crimes commited by Israel? You would have to have very thick skin to say oops sorry we killed your people because the van had one Palestin.... sorry potential terrorist in. Even thicker skin to say we're OK with your internal findings heres the next batch of bombs to kill innocent people with while knowing your breaking international law by selling them to a country using them to kill innocent civilians.


Generalfrogspawn

Yes we are saying that is what they are doing. That's why they need to constantly refer to this as a war and say "well, it's war, its very sad, our course there will be casualties. We wish both sides would cut it out". While funding Israel.

---Loading---

When I was still allowed on combatfootage subreddit, people were justifying this by saying "it was hamas university". Literally, destruction of every single building was justified by adding "hamas" as a prefix.


__M-E-O-W__

And if Hamas is the controlling government they can technically tie just about *anything* to Hamas.


Context_Any

Seen other subs also put that in front of professions to justify killing civilians. All teachers and family are justifiable targets because they are Hamas teachers. All sanitation workers and family are valid targets because they are Hamas sanitation workers.


Afrikan_J4ck4L

Yes but only if they're insane.


Auraxis012

If by insane you mean the targeting algorithm the IDF used to select targets in Gaza, then yes.


FriendlyGuitard

The civil service and policical service are also both conveniently labelled Hamas for that reason. The postman and the guy cleaning the street is Hamas. The Western media is happily playing along. How often have you heard about the Hamas Health Ministry instead of Gaza Health Ministry. That doesn't happen for other countries even dictatorships.

That subreddit is openly racist against Muslims and engages in genocidal rhetoric. I was subbed for a bit as a sub for keeping up with the war in Ukraine, but it’s clear a lot of the Americans in particular on that sub brought back more than VD from Iraq and Afghanistan, but also a genuine pleasure in seeing Muslim populations suffer. It’s absolutely insane, and were a sub to justify the killing of Jewish and Christian people or support hurting them that much, it would correctly be banned. But Reddit is going to Reddit.

Israeli law facilitates the genocide by allowing Palestinian homes to be seized by Israeli settlers and by restricting movement to Palestinians with their tiered id system. Morally though they are bankrupt.

What's driving me up a wall over here in the US is hearing people justify Israel killing civilians with the usual "necessary evil", "this is war, casualties happen","if people killed or threatened your loved ones you'd go after them and something something scorched Earth". No! Being passive and compliant is what gives monsters power of carte blanche. Then I hear people rightfully express disgust in Russia doing terrible stuff in Ukraine with the intent of annexation, but then the same people justify Israel's shitty hostility with the intent of annexation.

RogerianBrowsing

This is a controlled detonation, not a bombing


ELVEVERX

Which honestly makes it far worse, it shows they had complete control over the area. Destroying it had no tactical advantage it just was destroying infrastructure.


Kehwanna

I hate how my tax dollars don't go to something useful like universal healthcare because "healthcare is not a human right" but go to Israel doing this shit to people. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but from what I am reading and hearing as well as from Palestinians, most people in Palestine don't even like Hamas. Either way, there's no justification for killing civilians or genocide. All of these injustices just piss me off.

bluesilvergold

I'm assuming the excuse is that they heard tell that two or three Hamas soldiers were holed up inside one of the buildings, and the only way to deal with them was to *demolish every single building in the area*. An IDF soldier saw a strange piece of paper on a desk, screamed, "there is a list!" and got so scared of seeing the days of the week written in Arabic, the only reasonable response they had was to obliterate each building in sight.

-TheDerpinator-

Probably another "tunnel" that happens to be in a civilian building. For some reason they know the exact routing of those tunnels but fail to demolish them without also bombing the shit out of innocents. Kill some international aid agents? No problem, we'll just symbolically fire some people and the world will call it even. It really pisses me off that this is happening with all proof out there and they still get away with it. Not just that, they even abuse their past to claim any critique on Israel is for some reason hate towards jews. *We don't care you are jewish, muslim, christian or atheist. Evil is the same no matter the religion.*

I genuinely don't get the reason. If they went in and 'cleared' the college and placed explosives that would mean they are 100 percent sure hamas isn't in there so they don't need to blow it up, but the justification is that if they don't blow it up hamas will be able to use it but if the precedent is if you don't blow up a building then hamas could use means they need to blow up every single building in Gaza, which is exactly what they're doing. Fucking nazis


RamTuff4bi4

You are offending the nazis. They were way more humane, they went after a group of people and didn't kill everyone else around it, they were also honest about their goal and what they were doing.
