    Another day, another disgusting thing done by Israel. And another day other countries governments just don’t seem to give a shit. What the fuck.

      What can other countries do? Invade? The US bullies Nato into compliance, the rest of the world can only sit there and be appalled.

          Most of Israel’s trading partners are Nato or Nato aligned. They can’t sanction Israel because they will be sanctioned in turn by the US.

    I swear, if they accuse us of antisemitism for criticizing this move for the umpteenth time, I will checkmate them by saying that real Jews would never, ever, encourage this sort of behavior.

    Why is it so easy to excuse Israel for this disgusting thing they’re doing?

      real Jews would never, ever, encourage this sort of behavior.

      I really wish that were true. I’m a Jew, and I am fully against this genocide and Israel’s hypocrisy in general, but Israel is full of real Jews who absolutely encourage this behavior. It’s sad, demoralizing, and shameful, especially for us “normal” Jews who see it for the evil that it is, but I’m not sure enough of the world realizes how normalized this kind of violence is in Israel. I’ve spent a lot of time there, and the vapid, bloodthirsty hatred for Palestinians is absolutely real, and many many more Jews than you or I would like to believe support these atrocities.

      I’m a descendant of Holocaust survivors, with a sizable contingent of family that escaped Europe to Israel, and I frankly won’t be talking to any of them ever again now that I know they happily support genocide.

        I get what you’re saying but I think they’re trying to say anyone who would do this isn’t a real Jew. In the same way we try to disavow Christians who are punishing the poor and homeless.

            I don’t consider them to be. If you want to be a Christian and you open that book to the old testament to preach at me about hurting minorities I’m just going to laugh and walk away.

    I found the first part where the guy was digging in the rubble, then later searching the tunnel to be inconclusive. I couldn’t tell who or what was going on.

    However, the second part, where the guy is handcuffed in his underwear, surrounded by soldiers, then later on it looks like the same guy being herded through a building… that doesn’t look good. Someone below mentioned a possible prisoner swap. I don’t think prisoner swaps are handled like that.
