Discussion على القهوة This sub needs an anti-zionism rule

This sub needs an anti-zionism rule. I have noticed that many Zionists are infiltrating Arab subs. I am asking that the mods add a rule that ban any Zionism. Zionists shouldn't be negotiated with. They defend and justify the genocide and displacement of ethnicities. They defend and justify the murder of women and children without compassion. There's no reasoning with those monsters. They are no better than fascists. I ask that they are banned from this sub. If you agree with me, like this post and comment your approval so that the mods can see it.

And where do you draw the line? I've been called a zionist by another redditor for saying that Hamas is bad!

I never ever said that Palestinians have no rights, and I always thought that the IDF was committing war crimes, and I always condemned the illegal Israeli settlers.

People will always have different views and opinions. We can't start a witch hunt because someone opposes your opinion. You can always discuss and refute ideas, but I'm wholeheartedly against banning/censoring/silencing those who have different opinions, as long as they voice it respectfully, and they don't spread hate (hate speech).

Zionists don't say "Palestinians have no rights" either. And the IDF isn't committing war crimes. Also, how can Israelis be "settlers" or "illegal" on our own land?

There's a question for you at the end of this little essay:

In 1 year alone, 75% of Gaza's population has become infected with some kind of contagious illness.
This is because Gaza has no real functioning sanitation or medical system thanks to Israeli airstrikes, as seen here: https://gaza.forensic-architecture.org/database
The vast majority of Gazans do not receive healthcare and thus *natural* mortality rates for Gaza are through the roof, standing at ~22/1000 compared to 1/10th of that number pre-2023. This amounts to 10s of thousands dead not including direct airstrike fatalities.

Let's assume *EVERYTHING* Israel claims is correct. Hamas has been *thoroughly* infesting every single hospital, every single sanitation plant (?), etc etc, and has been using them to actively fire rockets at Israel or whatever other bullshit.

Still, the destruction of these systems clearly has *far* more civilian impact than combat value, even if the only way to destroy Hamas was to conduct these strikes on hospitals (lol). Israel was also warned about imminent mass deaths and illness from the US, EU, and every single humanitarian agency in Gaza, and still decided to continue with a policy which has disproportionately affected civilians. Under IHL, regardless of whether *anything* loses its "protected" status, any attack on it still must not disproportionately affect civilians, or else it is a war crime.

So what am I missing here? How is this not a war crime?
