International support for Israel is at all all time low so I don’t see how that’s the case.
Is that so? Now I’m curious, can you point anything that isn’t a strongly worded letter from the ICJ or another UN resolution, neither of which have any enforcement mechanisms whatsoever? Any major sanctions? A SWIFT ban like for Russia?
Or someone who’d attack the ANC for their violent resistance against South Africa’s Apartheid government. Expecting the oppressed to only resort to “morally correct” methods when they’re in a situation where they can’t choose their methods has never helped anyone except the oppressors.
How do people come up with this crap? I couldn’t come up with analogies this bad if I tried. If the ANC would have killed thousands of white settlers and Mandela would have sworn an oath to kick all of them out of the country then this would be somewhat close to a good analogy. But since you seem illiterate on their history, the ANC is a prime example of the difference in effectiveness between armed uprisings and peaceful resistance. When they were violent, they didn’t do shit. When they were peaceful, the Apartheid ended.
Here’s some evidence. It’s a biased but reliable source and their source with translation.
From what I briefly read up on this, there’s basically one newspaper alleging this to be the case and one IDF colonel saying more broadly that the so called “Hannibal directive” was used. The evidence seems very thin, this also seems highly unpractical from a military perspective. Even if there was any truth to this I fail to see what point you are trying to make. Hamas killed over a thousand Israeli in a day and the only real goal was to kill as many as they could. And the Palestinians cheered them on and are still supportive of “the cause”. That’s just unhinged and severely limits my sympathy for them.
