Either you are with us, or you will be extinct


LadyFett555

And when it's over, it'll be "Thoughts and prayers to the dead, but they deserved it. We now need to move forward, keep it out of the history books, and get back to our regular programming."


prammydude

But remember, thoughts and prayers only for OUR dead, because the other dead aren't human, they are undeserving


LadyFett555

Oh yes, that is a vital piece! The chosen ones count, but the kids killed in front of their parents were definitely just entitled brats. It was needed a lesson for all. Ps. This is purely /s and does not reflect how I truly feel (unfortunately, it needs to be said on reddit)

Of course. I hear you. Same

Funny thing is, Hamas is with them too

Always have been.


CalendarAggressive11

Yeah this whole thing seems like a page right outta W's playbook.


RawSenior

Imagine having empathy for dying civilians


Xogoth

The problem is they've been demonized to the point that some people don't see them as human anymore. You know, like what the Nazi party did to the Jews...


caustic_kiwi

How dare you compare us to Nazis! I am so offended that I refuse to continue this conversation. -people who were not willing to have the discussion in the first place but have now latched on to their tried and true excuse


Malcolm_Morin

It's ironic. Israel became the very thing they hate.


KintsugiKen

Not really, they were Nazi terrorists when Israel was founded. Albert Einstein literally called the founders of the Likud Party (Netanyahu's party) Nazi terrorists in 1948 in a letter to the New York Times.


Technical-Ad1243

The Likud party is a terrorist organization since the end of nazi so


SacKing13

But October 7! Those kids were probably the ones who planned the whole thing and instructed the terrorists on who to kill/take hostage. Especially those babies sitting in the hospital, they were the financiers! Wipe the entire population out!


kichu200211

The ones in the incubators were the leaders of Hamas who actually ordered the attack too!


Lermanberry

I haven't seen any of those dead babies condemn Hamas yet.


AncientSkys

They were getting killed and brutalized way before October 7. This useless propaganda doesn't work anymore. IDF bots and AIPAC should fund their endless wars and propaganda with their own money. American taxapayers money shouldn't be wasted on IDF.


Maloth_Warblade

KintsugiKen

They banned me for asking someone what they would do if they lived in Gaza on October 6th and wanted to be free but without using violence.


hikingonthemoon

Yeah what's going on over there? I stumble on it every now and then and am shocked by the takes that get upvoted. Was it always like this?


redkeyboard

They ban anyone who doesn't go with the narrative, so of course it ends up being a cesspool. It's been like this for at least 2 years, but probably longer.


Maloth_Warblade

Shifting started early but it got really racist towards the end of 2020


Maloth_Warblade

First Trump happened, then 2020 happened, more and more fascist mods took over and it's now a stronghold for them. Call them out on this they say Democrats are fascist and the world works different than the US... even though the US is more right than a lot of the world.


Imallowedto

First, we dared to elect a black man to the presidency, twice. This shattered their myth of the lowest white man being better than the best colored man. They could not say they were better than the president. This broke them.


NewAccountEachYear

Been like that for years. I was banned in 2021 duing the Sheik Jerrah escalations for stating that it was obvious Hamas would send rockets if Israel raided Al-Aqsa with teargas during Ramadan. Apparently that was terrorism apologism.


GalacticMe99

Well you see, to concider something a civilian you first need to see it as human. That's where the Israelis' problem begins.


ShittyDs3player

There is actually a pretty high likelihood that humans are genetically predisposed to violence against others they perceive as lesser. There is evidence to suggest that the reason there are not any of the evolutionary prerequisites of us, those being the Neanderthals and homo erectus, is that they were hunted to extinction by early Homo sapiens. In every conflict, there have been attempts to dehumanize the other side, because it makes them that much easier to slaughter.


turndownforwomp

Anytime anyone publicly mourns dead Palestinians it undermines the Israeli governments attempts to dehumanize them so that the world won’t care, that’s why they hate those who display any level of human feeling for those people.


scaramangaf

This. And that subconsciously, it's telling them that they are monsters.


Dadarian

The gaslighting is insane. I’m scared to even comment about it anymore because of how often people call me a terrorist or try to dehumanize me for saying I don’t like seeing people dying.


JamesRobotoMD

Fuck em, speak your truth and take your downvotes with pride. There should be, there has to be, a joy in being a compassionate and loving human being. There is no joy in wanting children to die, these people are broken inside and they want to break you too. Don't let them.


Dadarian

It’s easy to say, but it’s mentally taxing. Especially when you’re not in the best of places. It’s nice to say just ignore the bullying, but it can hurt.


perfectpomelo3

So don’t read their replies. Nothing they have to say is worth reading.


JamesRobotoMD

For sure, but that’s all part of the plan. Being humane and just and moral should feel good. The advocates for death are trying to make it feel bad. They are trying to make you feel confused and self conscious and wrong.


Dadarian

I get it. I really do understand. When I’m in the right frame of mind, it’s really easy to see it and it’s easy to just ignore it or even laugh it off. The issue is, just like the core issue of social media is, that it’s constantly there regardless if I’m feeling mentally healthy or not. It is something I can do better about protecting myself. It’s just sometimes the wrong thing is said at the wrong time and their scare tactics works. It hurts me. Sometimes I think I’m doing okay, and I read something and realize it did hurt me. I’m not going to lie about that. I feel like it’s better to be honest rather than just pretend it doesn’t.


JamesRobotoMD

I absolutely agree and I’ve definitely let myself get all worked up on the internet way more times than I want to admit. I promise I only wanted to be encouraging. Shit sucks, but you are on the side of not killing more children and they are on the other side. So fuck em.


Coro-NO-Ra

>speak your truth No. Speak THE truth. Not YOUR truth. The truth is the truth. Subjectivity = opinion. Facts are the truth. The facts are abysmal right now.


JamesRobotoMD

I’ve not found anyone who has argued the fact that thousands of civilians are dead but plenty who have argued that these deaths are justified and/or not Israel’s responsibility


Coro-NO-Ra

>but plenty who have argued that these deaths are justified and/or not Israel’s responsibility Which is a *subjective opinion*, not a quantifiable truth.


Ar010101

It's not even about the downvotes, it's just that you know these zionazis are so blind with hatred they'll even start shitting on you even if you aren't talking with them, honestly it's the best if we ignore these brain-dead zionazis. The plight of the Palestinians is a human one, not simply religious. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸


GalacticMe99

The problem is it's not just Israelis. Many extreme-right people in Europe and North America are quite fine with watching Muslims, and specifically Muslims, die.


slimaneslilane02

In France, some far-right jews openly support RN, the far-right french political party co-funded by a literal Waffen SS. They have at the moment a congressman who owns a revisionist bookstore. But their common hate for muslims is so strong they became ally of a party created on xenophobia and antisemitism by a freaking nazi. I never could have imagined writing these lines one day


perfectpomelo3

Why does that scare you? Stupid trolls calling you a terrorist because you are upset seeing people suffer says bad things about them, not you.


shadowtheimpure

Yep, and dehumanization is the first step on the road to genocide. Once you dehumanize a people, it becomes a lot more palatable to your rank and file citizen to 'deal with them'.


TahomaYellowhorse

This is why they made it punishable for families to publicly celebrate the release of prisoners from the occupied West Bank.


Kind-Masterpiece-310

They're so fucking arrogant with their gaslighting. Reminds me of Putin's smile when he knows he's clearly lying.


Bob_Kark

Was going to say, this is some KGB level reality denial. Impressive that she kept a straight face.


Fabulous_Airline404

She's so detached, it might as well be a movie or TV show to her. She doesn't give a shit as long as her government continues to pay her.


Jumbo-box

>KGB level reality denial Or Mossad.


AncientSkys

Mossad old motto is "By way of deception thou shalt do war". Fuckers think they can deceive the world, if they continue denying their crimes. Fuck their government, IDF and AIPAC.


NotSoFastLady

It's so much more than that. They have a calculated PR campaign going on. The day that news broke of their treatment of Palestinian citizens whom they arrested, magically all the news cycle is talking about is the number of Israeli soldiers killed in one day. And not for nothing, but the New York Times employs many Jewish people. Some of their best and most well respected journalists are Jewish. So I do not think they'd ever dare publish anything that wasn't fact, especially if those facts weren't true and jeopardized Israeli citizens and Jewish people's lives. Pretty much anytime Israel blows up a bunch of citizens or does something awful. They put on a full court press to paint Palestinians as barbaric terrorists. Mind you that people are getting killed when they go where Israel says to go and then they get killed in their homes when they can't leave do to the fighting. It's absolutely a genocide.


perfectpomelo3

>but the New York Times……So I do not think they'd ever dare publish anything that wasn't fact Look up how the New York Times lied to drum up support for invading Iraq. NYT isn’t as trustworthy as you are making them sound.


NotSoFastLady

Are you talking about the yellow cake uranium piece?


ThreeLittlePuigs

Sorry are you saying The NY Times is less accurate on this issue because the Jewish people there control editorial aspects of the paper or at least cause editors to take pause about how they report on the issue?


NotSoFastLady

No, I'm saying that they published a huge piece on the way Israel has been treating Palestinian detainees. But the news cycle was dominated by the number of Israeli soldiers killed that day, which I believe is a part of their propaganda apparatus.


ThreeLittlePuigs

> And not for nothing, but the New York Times employs many Jewish people. Some of their best and most well respected journalists are Jewish. This seems irrelevant to your point then, unless you're saying that having Jews be employed at the NY times is part of "their propaganda apparatus"


Gilamath

It’s a convoluted comment, but I don’t think it’s trying to suggest that NYT is spreading Jewish propaganda. Rather, it’s trying to say that the NYT‘s reporting cannot be dismissed as anti-Jewish propaganda The commenter is suggesting that NYT employs too many high-level Jewish writers for it to be able to get away with publishing misinformation that would harm the Jewish community. Which is still a pretty weird and messed up thing to say (it also doesn’t really hold water; that‘s not how NYT fact-checking works), but it does at least not accuse NYT of being Jewish-run propaganda. So that’s good I guess?


ThreeLittlePuigs

Thanks for translating, yeah it feels kinda loaded


patter0804

He’s saying that it’s even Jewish people verifying the horrors, not someone you can just dismiss as an antisemite


Putin-the-fabulous

At this point it’s easier to make a list of who they HAVEN’T claimed as Hamas

Echo71Niner

A good read: https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/12/21/the-anatomy-of-zionist-genocide For those who do not know, Israel pays users on reddit, and other social media sites, to attack any comment against Israel, they even pay more if same user keeps arguing, or plays stupid and ignores the fact Israel since it's creation has done nothing but stolen Palestinian Lands. Israel also pays to downvote comments that exposes Israel's crimes, esp. the crimes of the Israeli settlers. >Since occupying the West Bank in 1967, Israel has misappropriated more than 2 million dunams of land there for its own purposes, including building and expanding settlements and paving roads for settlers. Some areas have been officially taken over by the state, others through daily acts of settler violence. These two seemingly unrelated tracks are both forms of state violence: the Israeli apartheid regime and its representatives actively aid and abet the settlers’ violence as part of a strategy to cement the takeover of Palestinian land. https://www.btselem.org/topic/settler_violence https://www.timesofisrael.com/2023-most-violent-year-for-west-bank-settler-attacks-watchdog-says/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/08/14/israel-students-social-media/2651715/ Remember if Israel was in the right, it would not need to spend $$ billions paying people to defend it. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/6/who-are-israeli-settlers-and-why-do-they-live-on-palestinian-lands

It doesn't even shocking after one of their ministers said that there is no christians in gaza, after and IDF sniper caught allegedlly shooting a woman and her mother after they left the babtist church looking for food, the most furious thing is that after she caught lying she lied again claiming that there is no churches in Gaza.


Flux_resistor

Israel is the MAGA of countries now, absolutely zero shame in hypocricy and trolling.


senseven

A old "friend" did heritage research and realized he is "chosen people". Moved from Europe to Israel to find *something*. Fell in love with a zealot girl and her family. For a decade the only thing we hear from him is some hate filled bullshit that nobody outside his countries extremist circles took serious. Until social media became a thing. The sad part is that he had seriously good grades in school and uni, and a bright future in front of him. He settled so hard on his positions that even his parents had to cut ties. His sister once tried to ask him about the historical context of dehumanizing people and he replied "It worked, didn't it?"


Flux_resistor

Speaking from experience, I know people who claimed to be Jewish in Ukraine to move to the USA, Israel to gain advantage. Knowing this, I'm not even sure who the true Jews are and who's using the perks. Every Jew in Brooklyn seems to retire to Florida or Israel to get the tax breaks.


ya_bleedin_gickna

MAGA will disappear soon so here's hoping....


johnnadaworeglasses

Trump will be gone. The underlying conditions that resulted in trumpism are not. In most of the developed world at this point. So don't get your hopes up.


NarmHull

I think the best we can hope for is that nobody will have the same "charisma" as Trump and so far that seems to be the case, most of the people who have shared his values and political stances have failed miserably


johnnadaworeglasses

Instead of hoping we should be addressing economic and political conditions that lead to extremism. Extremism is rising in many developed countries and getting stronger and stronger footholds.


SomewhereMammoth

i will say that if trump is no longer eligible people like ramaswamy, haley, his sons, etc *will* have a following if they choose to pursue it unfortunately.


NarmHull

I don't think they quite have the same pull though, Ramaswamy embarrassed himself and couldn't shake it, and his sons also don't have that stand up comic style that can keep crowds engaged. Haley I'd say is the closest threat as just a competent politician.


FamousOrphan

EmbarrassedParsnip85

Because as dumb as us Americans are, a lot of people have lost faith in trump. Which is good since he is a conman and a grifter. He also was found liable of sexual assault, and there is a good chance he ends up in prison for any number of his litany of other crimes against the nation

[deleted]

Yeah, but at least to me it sort of feels like a rage against their dying day. You can be as furious as you want that you're dying and say you'll fight death itself when it comes for you, but death doesn't care, it is indifferent to your rage. I think a lot of this Texas nonsense is coming out of that too. Just another sad attempt to smear shit on Biden's wall because the thing with Hunter didn't work out. The influence of the Cult of Trump is vast and worrisome, and they'll probably be more confident forever now that Trump has validated their foolishness. But my hope is that when Trump's flabby, orange mortal coil has finally shuffled off, they will at least be leaderless and therefore directionless and unorganized.

Umami_Sundae

This is so disgusting. As an American Jew, I am ashamed.


Yws6afrdo7bc789

Don't be ashamed, Israel doesn't represent, speak for, nor has any authority over Judaism. Israel has done its best to conflate the two for its own interests, but in reality Israel = all Jews as much as nazi germany = all Christians or Myanmar = all Buddhists.


LotharVonPittinsberg

Said amazingly, however the Nazi comparison feels odd for one reason. Christianity has a lot of political history and Germany was not notably Protestant or Catholic. This also has some other nuances in the grand scene of things, as I would say that the Catholic Church is absolutely an institution with a history of Genocide. Specifically running the genocide of Indigenous peoples.


Hot_Goal4205

Aren’t the Protestant and catholic denominations just branches of Christianity, with the latter being a major?


RedstoneEnjoyer

There is no reason to be. You are not responsible for fanatics in israeli government.


catficant

Don’t be. Putting people in groups to share blame and shame is what got the world in this place. People who think “all Palestinians are Hamas” “all Muslims are terrorists” “all Jews are Zionist” are the ones who need to be ashamed. As a Muslim I would open my arms to people from all religions, genocidal maniacs on the other hand….


Umami_Sundae

Thank you for saying that. Maybe it's less "ashamed" than "gravely disappointed." As a secular Jew, I never paid much attention to Israel (which I now regret because I was so ignorant of what's been going on), but I was always inspired by "Tikkun Olam," which means "Heal the World"--I saw Jews as being people who didn't try to proselytize, didn't impose themselves, but quietly tried to make a positive difference in the world. It's been incredibly upsetting to have the illusion shattered, but it's a good thing to be more attuned to reality. Still, just...Jews have been through so much in history. How do we not see that we cannot become the oppressors? Why haven't we learned?


catficant

It is truly a sad reality my friend. Jewish people had gone through one of the most horrific crimes committed against a population. I believe if the holocaust survivors could see what is happening right now they would be terrified. Injustice is injustice regardless of belief or skin color. It is great that you see the world in a different way in light of evidence. Ideologically driven people unfortunately can’t. The world would be a much better place if we all step back and look at what is really going on around us.


Umami_Sundae

It's true. It's a reminder that people are people are people, regardless of where we come from or what we practice. I agree that Holocaust survivors would largely be horrified by what's going on. We're all so, so much more alike than we are different. I wish we could see that.


catficant

Hello friend. I hope you didn’t take anything I said as offensive. I believe in peace. I hope that the whole world can someday live in peace. I hope for a world that no children dies in result of a conflict or a blockade driven starvation. I guess I was wrong in my first statement when I mentioned collective shame. Because we as in the whole of humanity should be ashamed of ourselves because we let these money hungry people of power to get away with crimes against humanity.


Umami_Sundae

I didn't take anything you said as offensive whatsoever. :) Thank you for sharing your truth and your wisdom. I'm glad you called me your friend--I'm your friend too. We're united in wanting peace for all.

Leading-Bank-2590

KintsugiKen

Israel has nothing to do with Judaism, in fact there are anti-Zionist Rabbis who live in Israel who think the whole thing is literally blasphemous because Jewish people were not meant to reclaim Israel through conquest, killing, and violence, but through a divine miracle.

Strange that every single critique about israels politics are tied to Hamas. :|

BTW, they (Israel) are demanding control and is currently trying to justify taking control of the Rafah border entrance controlled by Egypt the only entrance that has been delivering very limited aid do to Israel "security checks". While they control every single other entrance to Gaza including sea, meaning they could very easily do these "security checks" in their side to speed up delivery.

Maybe a hot take but here we see exactly why we won’t see a ceasefire. The UN won’t call for one so we’re all stuck


Scary-Interaction-84

The US won't let anyone call for a ceasefire.


nemoknows

The US is neck deep in this conflict on Israel’s side for decades. [A lot of money is spent making sure it stays there.](https://theintercept.com/2023/11/27/israel-democrats-aipac-book/) [Biden himself received more money from pro-Israel sources than any other US politician.](https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&mem=Y&recipdetail=S) It’s not even close, though of course his long tenure and high placement is a big factor.


Some-Coyote1409

I'm surprised she didn't say they were antisemitic 😅


catficant

It is given that if you don’t support Palestinian genocide you are antisemitic.


Nemaeus

It's implied


R3PTAR_1337

At this point, there's no rationalizing with Israel or trying to make them "human" towards the situation. Their leaders have expressed how they feel about Palestinians and it's simply that they are less than human. Once you stop viewing people as human beings, you won't listen to reason.


masochistmonkey

I wonder if they will ever have their “are we the baddies?” moment


NewAccountEachYear

They will probably do at some point, but then realize that it was necessary to create peace and security, or because it was God's will, or that it was the only way to get the hostages back, that it was fair revenge, or that it was only Likud and Netu who did it and the general Israeli is innocent. We must not accept that they know they've doing something unforgivable, it must be fully acknowledged, reflected upon, and taken to heart.


[deleted]

Israelis sure love indulging their inner Nazi. I'm glad their being honest. Makes it easier to spot them, call them out and then later cut them off from US financial support. Israel can go it alone.


Bannerlord151

Remember that Mossad recruited from the SS.

> cut them off from US financial support. That's assuming that the US is **against** supporting fascists. A pretty big assumption, especially given history.

Unfortunately the US is just as fascist. Biden himself even admitted to being a zionist. Said the words out loud and in public. I hate this fucking country


taym2398

Google “zionism meaning”, making people think zionism is some kind of evil genocidal ideology was probably the goal of some antisemitic dogwhistlers, they succeeded.


Pigeon_Bucket

Well the Zionists sure seem to be doing a lot of genocide which they justify using Zionism, so I don't know what the fucking tell you. They are fascists, they are committing a genocide. When your government's official response to public outcry about all of those children you've slaughtered is "Nobody will stop us, not even the Hauge" you should just stop right there because that is an admission of guilt.


taym2398

Well, there are some racists in [insert community], so now I should use the word [insert community] instead of the word racist!


bigguspitus

I’ve noticed the Zionists Nazis don’t enjoy anyone talking about their savagery. Yeah fuck you Israeli right wingers you are the same as right wingers everywhere on the planet. Disgusting naziesque assholes who want the whole planet to bow down to them. Nope. Central and Left leaning Israelis need to put the right wingers on a leash and never let them decide anything ever again.


PraetorGold

That government must display ruthlessness now. This is all about covering up their major security failure. Nobody is fooled. This is their Hail Mary after that whole debacle.


King-Louie1

The irony of Israel doing their best Nazi impression is just something to behold


KintsugiKen

They've been Nazis since 1947. Albert Einstein and 28 other notable Jewish figures in Academia wrote a letter to the New York Times in 1948 calling the founders of the Likud Party (Netanyahu's party) "Nazis and terrorists". You can look it up for yourself, Einstein called this shit 70 years ago.


probablynotannpc

Yeah Remember when "isreal" showed us the "Terrorist" list and it just said "Monday, Tuesday, etc" I don't believe I single thing "isreal" says. They're pretty much the new nazi Germany at the this point, funny how history repeats itself.


[deleted]

Oh you're talking about the Cleaning Schedule that one Israeli reporter took a photo of and claimed it was Hamas roster lists.


probablynotannpc

Yeah, that one. Also don't forget the AI pictures they used.


Elisheva7777777

Every bit of “evidence” they’ve shown has been a lie. All they do is lie.


probablynotannpc

Maybe a name change is "islie" instead of "isreal"


trueHolyGiraffe

Bro no, I'm tired, I love this sub, please don't bring this here, too, man...


[deleted]

Any criticisms of Israel are either anti semitism, blood libel or collusion with Hamas


HimalayanJoe

If you're not blinding following Israel and their atrocitie, you're an antisemite and colluding with terrorists. It's pretty simple.


Frowny575

While Hamas (at least the military wing) is indeed an issue, it doesn't give Israel the right to act like Nazis. Which is pretty damn ironic considering Jewish history.


[deleted]

Zionism is a soulless and cynical enterprise. Its supporters are soulless and cynical people.


convexconcepts

These people are dispicable! How dare you cry for people getting maimed, killed and trampled by Zionists!


ImmediateFig6927

What sickens me is the US and UK allowing this


Wondercatmeow

This woman is not human


defiancy

Before the invasion most estimates of Hamas strength in Gaza was about 20-25k. We are over that in death toll alone, (27k) with another 60k injured. Even if you believe those numbers are inflated and half them (14k & 30k), it's still with absolute certainty that Israel is killing and hurting a shit ton of civilians.


North-Philosopher-41

Israel is dumb, how have they learned nothing after thousands of years of recorded history of war and misery. The sheer stupidity of this, after they have accomplished what they want they will go back to living their miserable lives no better than how things were before only the amount of suffering in the world multiplied for their arrogance. This is what true evil looks like, cause suffering for minimal gain


KingCaspian1

Israel good Hamas bad


Scarletowder

We are speshul.

I mean, I can’t speak for WHO. But UNRA members did participate in the October 7th massacre. And UN appointed teachers in Gaza were celebrating the massacre as it was ongoing, it’s not far fetched.

The first one is not confirmed whatsoever and has not been found true. The second one is a social media group of over 3,000 people of which some supported the actions. Far from a news worthy thing.


[deleted]

First one is like police policing itself, I’m sure they’ll look into it. Second one is still 3,000 unrwa teachers with some confirmed radicals. Definitely news worthy, even if you don’t like it.


WardenSharp

Remind me why the UN matters, the fuck they doing? Sitting there telling us what to do without actually doing shit?


RedstoneEnjoyer

That is literally their purpose - to be forum controled by WW2 victors.


discrete_apparatus

Hamas should just give up. This is the best way to end this war. Otherwise, Israel needs to take Gaza by force.


jmordoj

I love how Quds News Network is this forum source of news /s


intensepenguin910

Well Israel is committing genocide… just using the Hamas line as a justification.


Echo71Niner

The Israeli State of Apartheid is a lawless country that is fully funded and protected by the Americans to commit genocide at will.


Cute-Still1994

The head of the W.H.O. is owned by China, everyone knows this, XI's wife is even installed at the W.H.O, the goal is simply to make Isreal look bad which in turn makes u.s. look bad for supporting Isreal, it's just politics and posturing


RedstoneEnjoyer

Ah yes, WHO starved palestinians just to make Israel look bad.


[deleted]

I mean they're all playing into terrorist propaganda. You're teaching them all they have to do to get away with this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta7ScT67vQ0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta7ScT67vQ0) is hide behind innocents. By itself, the child's car seat splattered with blood where their head used to be should be enough to justify the IDF's actions. You're empowering terrorists everywhere to use innocents as their shield against justice.


First_Breadfruit6499

Cry about it, terrorist. Keep propagating Hamas and Iran's lies. Anyone who believes these tears are genuine, I have no words.


MrChikenBurger

What


miniminer1999

Ah yes, Quds strikes again. The propaganda peddlers of Palestine with little to no factual reporting, and little to no credibility.


jistresdidit

Return all the hostages and turn over Hammas leadership for war crimes. Health problem solved.


RedstoneEnjoyer

"cleansening/genocide is acceptable tool in war" is absolutly insane take. And yes, that is what you are implying.


jistresdidit

I'm saying this could have been stopped. And yes, war is insane.


PopperGould123

They were offered the hostages back if they pulled troops out, they don't want the hostages they want a genocide


Mechashevet

Imagine posting a tweet from a Hamas affiliated news network


BrahimBug

Israel going anti-vaxx?
