Israel's ambassador to Austria, David Roet, has suggested executing Palestinian minors involved in armed conflict, a secretly recorded video has revealed.

During a closed-door meeting with the local Jewish community in Innsbruck on Thursday, Roet said that "there should be a death sentence" for teenagers for "holding a gun" or a "grenade". He provided no evidence of children carrying weapons in Gaza.

The video was recorded two days after Israel broke the Gaza ceasefire on 18 March, by which time more than 500 Palestinians were killed, of which almost 200 were children.

Roet dismissed concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza, stating: "If you believe that there are no uninvolved [people] in Gaza… you're believing that Israel is targeting babies intentionally, which is not correct."

The Zionists have entered the Holocausting stage of their Genociding.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

There already is a death-sentence for being Palestinian & being a child, while the IDF is pointing a rifle in your general direction, as the statistics prove ( & video of their children being killed for sport, too )..

Even more dangerous being a Palestinian child than being a journalist, in Palestine, when the IDF's around..

Scroll down to the bottom of this, & get to finally get past all the .. shit "web interaction" of their site, .. to the graph..

https://www.reuters.com/graphics/ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS/FATALITIES/byvrxlqeqve/

13,320 children's lives destroyed by "Israel" .. that wouldn't be the same "Israel" as the one that Isaiah was of & loyal-to, would it ..

( no, it wouldn't )

& these gaslighters want to pretend that they were all armed combatants??

I'm sure..

No matter: their Continuums/Souls/CellsOfG-D will reincarnate into more of the hell-mess they make/enforce, to continue that "religion", until some other world crops-up with opportunity to outgrow it..

Their opportunity to outgrow it among this world is pretty-much gone:

population-polarization's only going to be increasing, from here until the end of The Great Filter, in the 2070's or 2080's, now..

Churchill's "never argue with drunks or fanatics" rule is pertinent, to any aliens considering opening-discussions with our species: don't bother, there's no intelligent life down here.

Funny. I hold a similar opinion about criminal Israeli’s.

Austria boutta take part in the reverse holocaust after it caused the holocaust

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago

As if they aren't already doing this.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 53 points 1 day ago

if you go by the average age of palestinians nowadays, most of who they kill are children now.

par for the course for fascist scum.

[–] Zacpod@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Isreal gonna Israel.

"Hey, I know we had our differences in the past, but are you still into that whole genocide thing?"

when were those differences? you're aware that the zios had a volunteer SS unit?

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 90 points 2 days ago (3 children)

"If you believe that there are no uninvolved [people] in Gaza… you're believing that Israel is targeting babies intentionally, which is not correct."

You think people are going to stay uninvolved after their spouses, children, parents, friends, neighbours, loved ones are killed by bombs, missiles, stormtroopers?

Israel is strongly playing that abused child card.

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Imagine trying to justify killing babies by claiming babies are involved in combat.

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They've already been doing all of those things for years... Look at how the world is dealing with it. States are lining up to support a state committing genocide. Gazans have been opposing it both armed and unarmed but are vilified by western states just the same.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah it's going on forever but you'd think, after it failed time and time again, that they'd learn that violence begats violence, never capitulation.

which is real weird, considering what side of world war 2 the early pre-state zios were on.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 57 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Roet said that “there should be a death sentence” for teenagers for “holding a gun” or a “grenade”. He provided no evidence of children carrying weapons in Gaza.

Hmmmm, I swear I've heard this somewhere before....

Oh yeah it was the Bush administration defining "Enemy Combatant" as any "adult male." As in "they looked adult enough to me," which when you contrast with evidence that young black men are viewed as older and less innocent to white Americans leaves one going "Ah, so any boy aged 14 and up, really." Because young men from Afghanistan and Iraq are surely brown enough to elicit the same feelings in the invading (mostly white) forces.

Worse, as evidenced in Collateral Murder, most of these decisions were being made from up-above and far-away either from attack planes and helicopters or drones. This meant if you were a young man who "looked" the right age from a blurry camera a half mile away and you were carrying something that "looked like" a weapon, they could rain hellfire down upon you with no consequences.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The irony is that the exact same people defending the Bush massaceres in Iraq are using the exact same arguments to defend the genocide in Gaza. "Most moral army, airstrike clearance" etc etc.

Notably edgelord content creators such ss Asmongold and Destiny.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not irony, irony is something unexpected - those two behaviors are exactly consistent and congruent with one-another.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I left out a little context. The irony is: All those people supporting the Iraq invasion said they regretted it a decade later, and admitted they were wrong.

[–] Turbonics@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Certainly these radical extremists are investigated and arrested... Right?

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If it's an ambassador they probably have immunity, I do hope they get deported

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

im pretty sure it's only a high resistance. this system doesn't really have 'immunity' even for elemental type creatures. here's hoping somebody tests that.

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The problem is ww3 possibilities

yeah. im glad nothing these fuckers will do if we leave them alive could lead to world war 3 or worse.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is Austria getting up to Nazi shit again?

Always have been. We have the same problem as the Germans.

[–] febra@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Arrest their asses and ship them off to the Hague.

or, alternatively, comb thrift stores for old lamps, rub them until you get a genie, and wish for every zio scum to have never been born.

it's a slightly more realistic plan, with a much better outcome if it works.

Austrian minister: "Ja, I'm listening.."

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Well, at least someone recorded and published it. Thats something. But disappointing that the Israeli ambassador wasnt imprisoned for his support of war crimes.
