A video, discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza in late March, shows that the ambulances and fire truck that they were traveling in were clearly marked and had their emergency signal lights on when Israeli troops hit them with a barrage of gunfire.
Israel will claim anything to not seem like genocidal maniacs. Seriously, fuck Netanyahu. The arrogance of killing CLEARLY marked aid workers, and claiming they weren’t marked is baffling.
Does credibility mean nothing anymore?
I am astonished how silent the west is. Why not a single nation is required to conduct independent investigation and require accountability on Israel’s side.
What happened on the 7th of October was horrible but it is not giving Israel a carte blanche to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.
I also wonder what are the israelian citizens doing/thinking? Are they all as extreme as Netanjahu? Or am i just missing their demonstrations against genocide?
This is what eventually broke me during the last Trump vs. Biden/Harris election.
I understand a lot of people shit on (non)voters like me, but it was the first time in 20 years that I could not vote either way. I always thought it would get bad, and then worse, and then worse still, but I honestly thought eventually the Biden Admin would grow a pair of gonads and say “enough”. Right around the time the video was released of Israelis setting Palestinians on fire in the Hospital and the IDF throwing people off of roofs, that’s when just something inside of me died.
And it really boggles my head that you have only two political parties there. Like what the heck, what kind of democracy is this?
It’s not a democracy it’s a representative democracy so basically we have a giant suggestion box that our elected leaders can look at and say “I’ll consider that in my vote in Congress”.
^Propaganda account
You caught me
Why even do it? You can’t be that truly nihilistic
Don’t let people shame you into the lesser of two evils argument because it’s your vote at the end of the day. I heard all sides for the past 10 years now and honestly we got to Trump because of Hillary and not having a party that stood for anything.
It’s not lesser of two evils it’s inaction that’s the issue “the world sucks so let me do absolutely nothing about it whaaaa” just fuck right off to a forest cabin or smt instead of spreading your shit defeatism onto others.
Not what I said. If you think the Democratic party is going to save you than go ahead and keep voting for Chuck Schumer’s fetal position strategy because it’s your vote and you shouldn’t be shamed in voting one way or another same as this guy doing whatever he wants with his vote. That’s it.
I seriously think at some point a dirty bomb is going to go off in Tel Aviv based on the actions the Israelis take today.
Watch Til Kingdom Come. full doc is on youtude.
In 2017, when Trump’s America abandoned the 2 state solution and went in full throated support of Israel with recognisation of Jerusalem, it was the spark that lead to this whole situation. Now that Trump is back in power, his Christian fundamentalist backers are sitting back and awaiting their rapture. Fucking crazy shit.
Israel shooting medics, throwing them in a mass grave and then lying about it? Better not talk about it, or we might be labelled as antisemites and/or terrorist supporters.
Wow, even the NYT is reporting on it?
the paramedic who filmed the video was later found with a bullet in his head in the mass grave. His name has not been disclosed yet because he has relatives living in Gaza concerned about Israeli retaliation
“We killed your son, and it came to light, so now we’re going to kill you.”
It’s truly hard to fathom the depth of evil in isreal right now. And we’re fucking funding it. We’re arming them, and paying them to continue. Meanwhile AIPAC continues to fund primaries against our politicians that speak out. The US is a fucking joke.
Don’t forget, the US pays for Israel is to come to the US to train their police departments into believing that every civilian is basically a terrorist that needs to be killed.
Yeah well if they’re in Gaza Israel wants to (and eventually will) kill them regardless.
I’d like to know how all of us watching Israel kill thousands of Palestinians - and we do nothing to stop it - is any different than the world watching Germany kill Jews, gypsies, Poles, scientists, etc in WW2?
There. Is. No. Fucking. Difference.
One of the things I say to my Jewish friends and family is, “explain to me how what Israel is doing - like cutting off food, water and medicine to an entire population of civilians it keeps in a ghetto is anything different that what the national socialist Germans did to the Warsaw Ghetto, because it looks like the exact same thing to me.”
There is a difference: we’re helping to fund it.
incredibly disappointing that nations like Saudi Arabia and Turkey rather leverage this opportunity to militarise against fucking Syria and Yemen or Iran, and only go against Israel in words only, whilst selling or buying drones to or from Israel
Disappointed with everyone, especially with Germany for being this anti Palestinian
I’m no expert but that is a war crime
I’m a lot closer to being an expert than most people and that’s a war crime.
As well as withholding humanitarian aid and medical supplies during an ongoing war. But apparently no one cares about international law anymore or they do care selectively depending on the nation committing the war crimes.
Throw it on the pile.
Pile of bodies in the mass grave or pile of war crimes and atrocities against humanity?
Yes
And it’ll, once again, change fuck all…
Awesome to have these two headlines right next to each other in my feed:
Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On
Senate Democrats overwhelmingly reject restricting US arms sales to Israel
the US Senate has resoundingly voted in support of continuing the genocide in Gaza by rejecting two resolutions aimed at blocking some $9 billion in weapons to the Israeli government.
Cory Booker, recently hailed in the corporate press for talking for 25 hours straight on the Senate floor—without blocking a vote on legislation or a Trump judicial nomination—voted against both resolutions.
The Democrats, and some Republicans too, might be anti-Trump but they still don’t represent us
What I don’t get is that almost nothing is happening. They are systematically and blatantly committing the most atrocious warcrimes and there is no outcry by the nations. What they do in one day would be enough to denounce any weaker developing country. The west is showing once again that the international community is really all about control, capitalism and racism.
How is it just blamed on “the west”. China, India and other “Eastern” countries are in the UN as well. Would you not have to say it just shows they care nothing about the international community and it is really about their control and power as well? The world is watching executions around the world, and people are just being censored to/from it by their governments. Israel’s biggest trading partner is China by far, almost twice the U.S. Not any huge press from them about stopping.
Good point, I don’t disagree. China doesn’t have a history of writing human rights on their flags though.
Death to the IDF
The IDF is bombing UN buildings and people are still waffling on calling Israel a terrorist nation is hilarious.
I had to reread this a few times to understand that “waffling” means being hesitant.
Eh am I old? that’s not a strange phrase is it?
It’s not a common international English word and English is not my native language.
Native English speaker, though haven’t lived in the UK (nor any other country with English as the primary/dominant language) since I was a chid.
I’ve heard the phrase a million times said out loud.
First time I’ve seen it in written language, however.
ah yeah I can see that, sorry
No worries.
Well, not that hilarious, really.
It’s hilarious in a “humanity is completely fucked I’m screaming internally” way. This is not sane laughter
Y’know, I’m starting to think those Israelis are a bunch of fucking assholes.
If they do just one more genocide I’m gonna start getting a little angry
IDF members are war criminals. Isreal is genocidal state.
Thats why I call it the IOZ (Israeli Occupied Zone), its not a country its a military occupation
Ingenious. Hoping you won’t mind me stealing it.
Of course, also theres GDF (Genocide Defense Forces)
On a similar article, a lot of people on reddit were saying that they could be terrorist on disguise, therefore is on to kill them (attempt to) ask, and that’s all good as per Geneva convention.
My reply was deleted, my account banned and my will to stay on that platforms eliminated.
Zionists bending over backwards rationalizing their war crimes as just anti-terrorist attacks while they are invading another country is the ultimate mental 4D chess.
When not being like you it’s there crime, everybody is a valid target
reddit is absolutely unusable.
I got banned for similar behavior, but I still lurk there sometimes. Recently I read an upvoted comment along the lines of: “I would rather have the Nazi for government than live with these hamas supporters and wokists.”
There are hundreds of other examples of how biased toward fascism this platform has become. From my understanding, many moderators of large subreddits (e.g., r/worldnews, r/mapporn, r/news, r/geopolitics) have been purged and replaced with state-affiliated actors like literal IOF soldiers.
ʕ ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°ʔ u/maxwellhill
A lot of fucked up things in all that, but them condoning killing civilians is apparently okay, but asking how Trump hasn’t been killed yet for trying to turn USA into a fascist dictatorship gets you banned.
That’s what got me here.
r/worldnews is Israeli gov’t propaganda
Don’t worry, you would have also been banned if you had depicted israelis suffering the same abuse at the hands of Palestinians. They REALLY don’t like to imagine that.
Sorry I’ve never heard of IOF before. Is that another faction now? I’m guessing it’s not my first instinctual guess “Internet of Fascists” lol.
“Internet Of Fucked” would have been my guess.
Lol after “WTF” my brain also immediately jumps there when encountering unfamiliar acronyms with a huge letter F. XD
Not OP but it stands for Israeli occupation force, because calling them the IDF is a joke
Ah, thank you for clarifying that! I had a guess it was somewhere in that neighborhood but I hadn’t seen it in use before. Now I know.
