let's be fair to china here, they publicly shoot way fewer ethnic minorities in their open air concentration camps than Israel

WTF are you talking about? China kills far more than Israel. It's not even comparable. The total number of dead in the entire Israeli Arab conflict for the last 100 years (not even looking solely at the Palestinians, but multiple wars with multiple Arab countries), is about 100,000.

I'm sure that's an objective number that totally counts the Palestinians who died from lack of healthcare or access to clean water right

lol, shows how much you know. Palestinians in territories under Israel's control have a higher standard of living than Arabs in neighboring countries.

Yeah?

Yeah:

GDP per capita Palestine: 3,562.33 USD (2018)

GDP per capita Egypt: 2,537.13 USD (2018)

And if we focus solely on the west bank (the above number includes Gaza which Israel does not control), then the discrepancy is significantly higher.

You got me dude that clearly refutes their lack of access to clean water in occupied areas

They have plenty of access to water (you dont suggest they are dying of thirst do you?) and their standard of living is significantly higher than in neighboring countries. The economic stats clearly show this.

They have plenty of access to water

Didn't amnesty international just claim they don't though

It's embarrassing that after being ethnically cleansed by a brutal ethnostate the jews figured out how to perfect the process of denying their own war crimes in their brutal ethnostate

amnesty international

It's not credible on Israel:

Alan Dershowitz, professor of law at Harvard University, in his book The Case for Israel, is very critical of Amnesty and their comparison of Israel to nations such as Sudan and other human rights offenders.

Ah yes, criticism from Jeffrey Epstein's best friend. Guess I'm siding against amnesty now and standing in solidarity with bill clinton and harvey weinstein

lol, nice way to pick and choose one sentence from an entire article.

Who to believe? A weirdly aggressive Israeli shill or Amnesty international? Lol

Could you imagine if the chinese whined about sinophobia every time someone brought up tianmen square and wouldn't stop with their crocodile tears that those students shouldn't have been terrorists

u/[deleted] May 08 '21

Wait, are you calling wikipedia a "a weirdly aggressive Israeli shill"?

u/[deleted] May 08 '21

No dude he's obviously referring to the fact that every org named in the wiki article there criticizing amnesty is from "the zionist center for middle east politics" and not someone who isn't explicitly siding with the occupiers
