    Since Egypt dumped the Gazans on Israel in 1973, the only occupation is by Hamas, as Gaza has been directly controlled by Hamas since the 2004 elections (and they were only given one election in 20 years by the Palestinian Authority with Hamas taking over. The IDF forces weren't in Gaza in that time. They took the billions of international aid and never built air raid shelters whilst permanently firing rockets at Israeli civilians, Arabs, Druize and Jews. In military and legal terms, proportionality is judged by military aim, not casualties.

    It seems to me that the interviewer misunderstands the concept of "proportionality" in international law. Proportionality doesn't mean that the number of civilian casualties on the Palestinian side should be more or less equal to the number on the Israeli side. In international law, "proportionality" means that the number of civilian casualties on the enemy’s side should be proportionate to the military objective. So the question the interviewer should've asked was whether several thousands of Palestinian casualties is proportionate to Israel's military objective (i.e. to eradicate a jihadi terror group which poses an existential threat to the State of Israel and its citizens). To be honest, I don't know the answer to the question. I'm inclined to say that Israel's military actions are still proportionate, although I'm starting to doubt whether a regular army like the IDF is fit for purpose in an urban warfare context. The fact that the Shifa Hospital has been recaptured by Hamas in spite of the IDF's earlier assertion that it had been cleared from Hamas may indicate that Israel's current military tactics aren't working to eradicate Hamas. And that's where the concept of proportionality under international law may start to bite Israel sooner or later. I mean you can’t continue to use inefficient military tactics and at the same time claim that the rising number of civilian casualties is still proportionate.

This seems to indicate that the IDF isn’t in control of what’s happening on the ground, in spite of the rhetoric. So the question is how much longer the urban warfare experts’ assessment is going to stand. If Hamas keeps reappearing from out nowhere no matter how much military force the IDF uses, inevitably, there will come a point in time to ask oneself in all honesty whether the number of casualties is still worth it.

      @jonasv.c.8924 24 дні тому

      @@kerrynewnham8946 Your question is almost too easy to answer, but here we go:
      1. With the terror attacks of 7 October 2023, Hamas has shown that it can make normal life in the south of Israel impossible. Did you know that 135,000 Israeli civilians have been displaced since 7 October? Do you realise the enormous impact this has one the Israeli economy and thus the Israeli treasury?
      2. By constantly spreading a religious narrative that the state of Israel's existence is an affront to good Muslims in a region that consists of very authoritarian military dictatorships with a devout Muslim population that is easily stirred up by a religious narrative, Hamas is creating an extremely explosive climate, especially in the on Israel's Northern borders (where heavily armed Hezbollah troops, sponsored by Israel's arch enemy Iran, are stationed) as well as in the.Gulf of Aden (where the Houthi rebels, also sponsored by Iran, are stirring up more anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish hatred in the Middle East).
      3. This leaves Israel with no choice but to mobilise hundreds of thousands of young men and women, which is once again a heavy burden for the economy to bear. Moreover, it creates an increasingly right-wing climate within the State of Israel, which threatens to endanger Israeli democracy as such. Well, if Israel evolves into a far-right state with a sluggish economy, then Israel will ultimately lose its appeal as a homeland for the Jewish people. And so the existence of the State of Israel itself is in danger. Which is exactly what Hamas is trying to achieve. Do you get it now?
