create anything new, it can just remix old stuff.

Same thing different phrasing.

It's obvious to me that wearing someone's culture as a costume is fucked up

Why is it fucked up?

an unfunny reference to a since forgotten peanut butter slogan.

Yep. Jiffy is only used for peanut butter. Great point!

It's also a large part of why people believe everything Hamas says (e.g. death tolls) while also refusing to believe anything Israel says.

you would be very hard pressed to find anyone Native American who is happy seeing anyone in a mass produced war bonnet.

I'd argue this is the exception, especially due to the history specific to the location where this kind of costume is common. Admittedly I come from a mixed East Asian background so my bias is based on people calling out appropriation for ao dais and kimonos and the like.

To me it seems like you're misattributing your reaction to those wearing the costume. I disagree that a person wearing a costume has the onus to research its history. That should be on the producer/retailer.

I also disagree that a consumer should buy from the source. It's a lot of effort and responsibility you're placing on someone that likely has no intent for offense, when it's simply easier and more reasonable to understand the context of the wearer and realise it's not really an issue.

A blockade is a war on the entire population ... do not see a distinction between Gaza's Palestinians and Hamas

How do you distinguish a Hamas militant from a civilian?

essential for avoiding war crimes.

[citation needed]

say there's enough that's come directly from Israel that we can suspect motive and should open a war crimes investigation at the very least.

Fair enough. It's not going to change anything in the short term, but that's fair.

Israel didn't prove anything before it attacked.

Didn't prove anything to you. The general public doesn't need to be privy to that information lol.

every effort must be made to preserve civilian life or it's still a war crime.

Sounds like they did to me. I saw multiple emotionally manipulative posts about premature babies in the hospital when they were running out of power. Nothing about those premature babies being dead. Only about them being evacuated.

If the most fragile lives came out intact, that says enough really.

Instead they snipe nurses.

Really reaching for points there lol.

I do find it interesting the level of evidence you require from Israel vs the level of evidence required from Palestine. (No I'm not equating Palestine to Hamas. I'm referring to their collective media sources)

based on what Israeli officials have said and based on Israel's actions

You don't seem to be a very good judge on the latter.

This study’s results are not consistent with concerns about pornography use negatively contributing to male adolescents’ psychological well-being

What do you think this means?

We know their intentions, Israeli officials say it plainly

I thought they only lied though. I guess you can always pick and choose which parts you believe.

It's how the genocide on native populations has worked everywhere else, too, so we already know the playbook.

Such as?

Also, what's your definition of native?

Bet you're gonna just ignore all that and still call it an open air concentration camp 🤦

Well, according to al jazeera they dropped 6000 bombs - 4000 tonnes - from Oct 7 - Oct 12.

As of 2nd Nov the number was 25000 tonnes. Let's say that's 25000 bombs.

Pretty terrible death rate for that number considering the options available.

Israel has openly admitted to the crime of collective punishment through the blockade

Have they? A blockade makes sense in the context of a war.

indiscriminate bombing by claiming that anyone who voted for Hamas is a legitimate military target.

These are likely two unrelated points. i.e. civilians are being killed in bombings, and some Israeli official has shared their idiotic opinion.

Bombing hospitals, something else they now admit to, is a crime even if they are mixed military/civilian targets; a claim that Israel has still not proven, by the way.

No it's not? And yes, it hasn't been proven to the point of "Hamas militants have been fighting back in hospital corridors", the evidence has been there. Militants fighting right outside the hospital, militants taking hostages through the hospital, tunnels under the hospital etc.

They've also made their motives very clear about forcing the population of Gaza into Egypt

Makes sense, get the civilians out of the way so they can sweep the strip without killing them. How is that genocidal lol

Only 20 deaths while bombing a location sheltering 20000.

Bombing UN sponsored shelters for refugees

These words you added ultimately mean nothing if they aren't used for that purpose.

Ignoring any conclusions you have made from Palestinian reporters, what war crimes have Israel committed?

wow so smart

0.5% is a terrible genocide.

Wanting to see someone with that much power lose as much as of that power as possible is socially responsible imo.

Okay. Whatever you tell yourself to justify being pointlessly hateful.
