      Yeah I’m so sick of the “women and children” thing. It’s so blatantly misogynistic and helps construct the idea that every man in a warzone can be considered a combatant

          the misogyny is that this language groups women together with children as less capable, weaker, defenseless but for the actions of men

      So don’t forget that Hamas’ military wing is about 30K, in a population of 2.4 millions, so let’s say half are children, so that’s 1.2M left, and let’s say the other half are women, 600K is roughly the male population of Gaza. So it appears that 1/20 male are associated with Hamas. 5%.

      And by killing and destroying so many lives and homes, and futures, Israel is well underway to groom another generation of broken human beings who are more likely to get radicalized.

      I think the idea here is that babies (and likely women) aren’t part of Hamas so there is 0 justification for killing them. Of course innocent men shouldn’t be killed, either, but they could claim they are Hamas militants whereas babies can’t be soldiers

    Remember when France (and UK) pressured the USA not to intervene in the bosnian genocide because they didn’t want a Muslim country in Europe?

    I highly doubt their stance has changed in only 30 years of continuing to suck NATO’s ****

    This statement is as hollow as France’s freedom of speech laws

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Israel says it attacks military targets in line with international law and takes steps to reduce civilian casualties, like issuing warnings ahead of strikes and calling on people to evacuate.

    Starting by discussing Gaza, Mr Macron said France “clearly condemns” Hamas’s attacks on Israel on 7 October which sparked the war.

    But Mr Macron said he disagreed that the best way for Israel to “protect [itself] is having a large bombing of Gaza”, saying it was creating “resentment and bad feelings” in the region that would prolong the conflict.

    After a month of Israeli bombardment and nearly two weeks after Israel launched a major ground offensive into the territory, Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said on Friday that 11,078 people had been killed, while 1.5 million had fled their homes.

    And he said that climate change was causing terrorism in parts of the world, specifically mentioning the effects of global warming in lower water levels at Lake Chad in West Africa.

    But when asked if he ever felt depressed by the sheer number of issues facing the world, Mr Macron said he saw it as “a chance and an honour to have responsibilities [as head of state]”.

    France is just a US vassal country. they have no solid independent Foreign policy since Degaule.

    Nato is holding their dicks so firm if they ever dare miss align they will have them chopped on the spot.
