  • I did not quote the post because it is in spanish.

    In short: a guy argued that my country’s goverment is a dictatorship because expeled out the staff of an UN office that is supposed to work on human rights issues and in his opinion there are human rights violations. I replied that a dictatorship is defined by the means a group of people get and/or keep political power and stay in power against the will of majority. Democracy: power by people’s vote, otherwise could be a dictatorship. The violations of human rights does not define dictatorship and made this example: Israel’s goverment is legal and democratic but, in mi opinion, is commiting genocide against Palestine people, so violations of human rights does not equal dictatorship.

    I guess that was the trigger, the guy freaked out and i Just stoped the argument, thought it was useless.




  • “Hamas is the governing body in gaza and must also be bound by international law.” Yes, they should be arrested and put under trail, like germans generals and officers after WWII, some of them were hanged. To do that there are other ways.

    “They must be held accountable for their actions and the actions of their elected leaders.” who are they? even children? Their leaders are in other places, like Qatar, why not carpet bombing there?


  • That is not true, Israel is an state bound by international law, it must respect human rights, can not do this to anyone.

    Hamas is not an state, can be considered a criminal organization and Israel state can fight it inside law limits. No state can, should not (in theory) carpet bombing civilians, killing thounsands of them, including children, in order to kill some hundreds of criminals.

    Israel is an occupying state, palestinians has the right to rise against the Israel state.

    And finally, why are IDF soldiers killing palestinians in Cisjordania?, Hamas is not there, the attacks did not not come from that place.
