>> Israel believes they are demonstrating restraint

From the section of the ICJ ruling dealing with dehumanizing language used by Israeli officials:

> "I have released all restraints . . . You saw what we are fighting against. We are fighting human animals"

-- Mr Yoav Gallant, Defence Minister of Israel




Ok but they haven't literally released all restraints because no nuclear weapons have been used.


Why would they use nuclear weapons on territory they intend to annex and settle?


Faster than starving the gazans to death


Modern nukes don't have lasting radiation fallout


Imagine making excuses for breaking the nuclear taboo. That is the level this discourse is at.


You have sources for that?

From everything I’ve studied all super bombs (hydrogen fusion bombs) are also fission bombs. Since it is a chain of different kind of explosion stages that finally get the fusion reaction started.

First convention explosives then fission then fusion.

If they put it on Hamas, the radiation fallout would hit Israel pretty hard depending on winds.

It would fuck up Middle East in an awful way. Pretty much guarantee the Middle East Muslim countries ganging together to wipe out Israel completely.

I think that the statement by the head of the military that Israel is acting without any restraints is incompatible with the idea that Israel believes it is demonstrating restraint.


My point is to make it clear that it was obviously a rhetorical speech rather than some ongoing military policy during the war. You know perfectly well what I meant by restraint.


After 9/11, the united states president at least tried to say "hey not all muslims, alright?"


Not to mention these guys would have heard of the absolute cruel and unusual torture directed at the female civilians before the rest of the world.
