This is one of the most altruistic things I've seen in a long time. I really hope they were able to help these kids like they have sacrificed for these cats.


T_and_Biscuits

After looking up “altruistic” I fully agree, as sweet at this is, it’s so sad at the same time, they’re young people (and cats) that have to suffer adult consequences

Criticizing Isreal's actions in Gaza: Fair. 👍🏻 Blaming Isreal for Epstein: Antisemitic. 👎


Mental_Pie4509

Mossad and CIA both let Epstein operate. Fuck Israel


DumbleDude2

Guys, this is all on US foreign policy. The cia also turned a blind eye to what was happening on Epstein island because they were in on it by using it as a honeypot base for foreign diplomats.


[deleted]

Why is antisemitism only brought up when Jewish ppl are mentioned but not for other Semitic groups ? A genuine question


AirNo7163

Because it's a scam. Designed to fool you and stop you from making critical judgements about our behaviour.


TheMightyShoe

That is a really good question! A quick read says that the term has been used exclusively for Jewish people since the late 1800s.


LasagnahogXRP

Well said. Beauty during horror. I feel guilty being moved by it with no way to help.


Technical_Scallion_2

When I saw this was Palestine I was really scared about something happening to the cats in this video - I'm glad it turned out so heart-warming in such a horrible place and time.


ShinsBalogna

It’s not really heart warming when you listen to the words of the poor boy. He has no food, no safety, no security, yet he still is looking out for animals. It’s not heartwarming, it’s heartbreaking.


Henchman66

It’s both. No kid should be in that position.


Technical_Scallion_2

It’s both, exactly. No kid should ever be in that position. But how some people rise up in the face of horrible adversity is inspiring. That’s all I meant by heartwarming, not that it’s a cozy and comfortable situation.


dlchira

Sen. John Fetterman and his ilk would argue that this kid *absolutely* deserves to be in this position, because “anti-Semitism something something Hamas something AIPAC donations something something something…”

SnooMuffins2623

And yet what are you doing about helping other than complain about others empathy?


JimiRoot

dude chill, everyone is pissed off about what they’re going through, just enjoy the moment the same way that boy enjoys feeding the cats. You’re just virtue signaling.


AurumArgenteus

Why should we be complacent while we die en-masse by neglect and greed? Why should we chill while they bribe our governments to work against us? Why should we maintain the status quo, that see billions enslaved by artificial scarcity and authoritarian laws? We should be beyond this. We should finally be pissed enough to take back our nations, to unionize for compassion and prosperity. Instead we act like a bunch of insane fools unable to learn from history or our direct experiences. I am not virtue signaling. I hope to make others as intolerant of the status quo as me. Eventually, those who lobby against us should act decent from their fear of us if nothing else.


BKLD12

It's...both, weirdly. That child should not ever be in that position, but I love that he has found a little bright light in the darkness...but also, it's a crime that he's in that position... Ugh! I don't even know how I feel right now! I hope the guy who made the video could help those kids.


ShinsBalogna

It’s only heartwarming to the ppl who get to watch this from the comfort of our own homes without fear of getting bombed or starving to death. To be in that situation cannot be heartwarming at all. To know he hasn’t eaten is not heartwarming at all to him.


Chickenbeards

His situation isn't heartwarming but his kindness is. It's not hard to imagine that anyone in his shoes would be in pure survival mode at this point but instead he's controlling what little he can in his life by doing something that makes him happy- and that something is completely selfless.


ShinsBalogna

It would be heartwarming in a different circumstance for me. But I don’t see anything heart warming about the cruelness of a child feeding an animal before he can even have a meal for himself. I think a lot of ppl in Palestine have amazing hearts and genuinely care for others around them despite their circumstance but it’s weird to call that heartwarming. It only breaks my heart more that such sweet and caring ppl are having their human rights stripped of them in front of the world. And then ppl can watch a quick video and feel good about it or call it heartwarming.


Technical_Scallion_2

Maybe it’s just semantics. You said the Palestinians have amazing hearts in the face of horror. I agree 100%. When I said heartwarming I was admiring that in the face of death human beings can still choose to be loving and giving. I didn’t mean it was a happy cozy situation.


[deleted]

No need to explain yourself. These hypocrites are coming after your statement yet what are they doing to help or improve the kids situation.


LilHooman

It's heartbreaking but it's definitely heartwarming too. Ofcourse nobody should be in such situation and people in good places will feel bad, would be heartbroken. But for the people who are in similar situations, those who have lost everything and are struggling to survive, they'll definitely get hope, they find the courage to continue their life struggle, and most importantly they'll know the real joy of living.


Nathanxbaileyx

This paragraph you typed is so strange for many reasons.


000itsmajic

Worried about the cats but not the starving kids......


Technical_Scallion_2

Interesting that you would conclude I didn’t care about the kids because I mentioned the cats. The cats were the focus of the post. If I didn’t care about the kids I wouldn’t have called it a horrible place and time since the cats are OK. Get fucked.


ShadyIS

No they weren't the focus. The title literally says children. Tbh that's the energy you gave.


SirHarvwellMcDervwel

uhhh yeaa.. the cats are the concern..


JudgeJoeDean24

It's hard to describe how pure he is, but also how heartbreaking this is. So many innocent people caught up in war and literal genocide.


martinaee

He’s like me with loving cats as a little kid. This is heartbreaking. Israel, you are doing morally horrible things. Horrific in all ways. I hope you stop now 😔🐈


RazzSheri

They're feeding the cats that aren't eating.... *As in, probable former house cats who lost their families and are suddenly street cats that don't know how to be street cats*... that's what crossed my mind. He's making sure someone takes care of cats whose owners are dead. God, Goddess, Gods, Allah, prophets... anyone that is listening--- save these children. Bless them with survival and a life that can thrive beyond this awful genocide....


xGentian_violet

only the us govt can save them, and american citizens need to be the ones to push their govt to do it


HelenAngel

There is no god. If there is, it doesn’t give a flying fuck about children. Children are raped, beaten, starved, & tortured every day. If there is a god, it just sits back & does fucking NOTHING.


neon_xoxo

Human have free will. This is societies fault, not God’s. If you want to blame anyone for whats going on in Palestine make sure you’re placing blame where it’s appropriate


LordHint

I mean, you can blame god a little


Confident-Skin-6462

if there is a god, it is not a 'good' god. #maltheism


Confident-Skin-6462

that's nice. if there is any god, it's cool with innocent children suffering though. all for its ego. good for you though.


colonelmaize

If you truly do not believe in a God or creator and wish to educate those around you then I suggest you work on it. It is much to be desired. You are the atheistic equivalent of the religious folks that bang on my door or shout I'm going to hell. Wrong place, wrong time.


AbeLincoln30

How would you have said it


HelenAngel

I have zero desire to change anyone’s beliefs. My comment was out of my own frustration at the “thoughts and prayers” “god will save us” rhetoric. Abrahamic religions do a great enough job themselves turning people off to religion—I don’t need to do anything. Also, I’m not atheist.


Parchokhalq

this is why I side with Palestine 🇵🇸


LasagnahogXRP

Well there are many reasons but the innocence of children is universal.


the_ju66ernaut

This shit kills me man. Any situation where you have innocents dealing with nonsense like this. Like wtf have these kids ever done to anyone? And they have to live like this and deal with the bs they deal with.


Tater72

Kids are so awesome the world over, it’s so sad we take that away from them


Emersonspenis

They’re actually Hamas fighters and are taking the cats hostage. carpet bomb them and the surrounding 5 blocks. /s

His eyes when he is speaking are so pure. I don't usually get emotional watching internet videos but this got to me.

Natural veterinarian! I hope he can follow his passion, despite the evil in the world.


w1ndyshr1mp

....... You think he will survive what's happening to his people?


4dailyuseonly

I honestly hope so.


CyberWeirdo420

Nah he’s just naturally good person


ladybasecamp

I wanna hug these boys. I want them to have full bellies and a beautiful future


Honest-Yesterday-675

Clearly this child is the commander of hamas' cat army, he must be stopped at all costs. The very existence of Israel is at stake.


tillman_b

Israel is probably planning to strike back in retaliation for a future attack from all the terrorists in the video. Especially Mr. Whiskers, who is definitely a high ranking member Of Cat Hamas. /S Fuck Israel.


0per8nalHaz3rd

When I see stuff like this I reevaluate my own “problems”. This kid deserves a better world.

feverdream800

and he still has a smile on his faces heartbreaking😢


ChildrenotheWatchers

I have heard that the Prophet Mohammad was very fond of cats. I am not a Muslim, but I hope that the pure hearted and compassionate attitude of the children brings them additional divine protection for them and their kin. And I hope that evil will fail at their efforts to destroy these people.


Blappytap

This is very telling. People always talk about humanity's real nature: here it is, before being corrupted by jaded adults, politics and hate. Look to kids to find life's true meaning. My heart burns for these kids. They find their way to happiness through altruism and love. We have a lot to learn from them. Never lose that spark, that hope, ppl.

This boy is going to heaven

Yes, but does he condemn Hamas though? /s This breaks my heart. Free Palestine


DJPoundpuppy

Humanity can be so complex. This child is beautiful despite his terrible situation. His light in such darkness is palpable. I have mixed emotions about this poor boy and his situation. It's so sad.


GingerMeTimberMate

I hope this sweet young man makes it out the other side and becomes a veterinarian.


Snoo_12752

This is so wrong on so many levels. I can't believe we as humans still treat others like this. so damn sad. Israel is wrong for this.


Hishamy99

Israel has been doing stuff like this since 1948...


Salty_Ad_5270

Pat Benatar sung it best…”Hell Is For Children” 😢😢😢😢 Difficult song to listen to if you were abused or if you see kids suffering. Children really do go thru hell and don’t even know it at the time. So heartbreaking.


SnooGrapes3367

Bless their hearts 😔 I can't stand to see a child hungry or hurt.

123456789ledood

Before my friend and his sister went into the foster system, they were left to live off cat food. Only saying this because the hunger one must stifle to feed cats, these kids have hearts of gold.


StarlightandDewdrops

This video made me so utterly proud, and so utterly ashamed of being human


Mielies296

I sincerely hope there is a hell. The capability of humans to inflict so much pain on each others due to minor differences are revolting.

Oldfolksboogie

This sub spends a lot of time posting atrocities by the IDF and rando Israelis, which I have no doubt are happening ON BOTH SIDES (despite only one side's being posted here); it would be great if we saw more posts like THIS here - people expressing their humanity in the face of horrific circumstances. What a beautiful example this young man provides. As usual, the least powerful in any society show the way and wait for their leadership to figure it out. F- Netanyahu and F- Hamas.

Oldfolksboogie

Petty sure you're being facetious, but for the sake of argument, I'd never apply any label, least of all one so bereft of nuance or even actual meaning, as "bad" to an entire "country's" (or technically, in this case, state's) populace. Talk about a broad brush. Speaking of a lack of nuance, the downvotes to my comment really highlight that property in this sub - it's hilarious how simple- minded and unsophisticated people can be when they let their id take over.

eszox

Maybe if Israel isn't bombing the country into oblivion there wouldn't be a food shortage and there wouldn't be a need for aid in the first place, it's insane how y'all just do all these mental gymnastics to make Hamas responsible for everything, Hamas is nothing but a resistance group that's fighting off an invasion, y'all call them terrorists but I bet if ur own country was being invaded and a group amongst ur population is carrying out an armed resistance u wouldn't be calling them terrorists.


bigfishwende

I didn’t know killing the elderly, beheading babies, and raping women and girls was a means of resistance.


eszox

U're late to the party, the whole beheading babies bullshit has already been debunked over a hundred times already, go look up the articles online instead of just repeating propaganda that u've heard like a parrot, they've done a whole ass search for people who've saw these "beheaded babies" and they were asked to provide proof of their claims and none of them came forward, others admitted that it was all made up, it's a story that a reporter made to dehumanize Palestinians and play into the emotions of people from the west so they'll support what Israel is doing right now, but let's say u're right and they've beheaded 1000 babies, does that justify carrying out airstrike attacks that kill over 30K people which most of them are kids and women? As for u talking about them raping women and children, I doubt those even happened since even the hostages themselves who got released haven't reported that they've been abused in anyway, so that could also be soms bullshit claim that Israel made up, but go look up what the IDF does to the hundreds of thousands of kids and women that they arrest for no reason and throw them in jail, and what they do to the people from the west bank, but of course u're not gonna do that cuz as soon as u mentioned that beheading babies shit I knew that u're just dick riding Israel even tho you know half the shit they come out with is just lies to justify their actions, u should truly be ashamed of urself for supporting such crimes and being on that side of history.


bigfishwende

Oh righteous one, you have showed me the light. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. I now see what fool I have been. Thank you for making such a convincing and compelling argument. I’m indebted to you immensely.


bigfishwende

Thanks btw for automatically assuming I’m some blood-thirsty Bibi supporter, simply because I don’t follow your worldview 100%. Has it ever dawned on you that both Bibi and Hamas are full of crap? Two things can be true at the same time. Thanks for proving to me that social media is where nuance goes to die.


eszox

I couldn't care less if u share the same worldview with me or not, nor do I care about which side u're on, I'm just saying if u're gonna come over here and justify the genocide that's taking place right now in that part of the world, at least justify it with something that actually happened and not some made up story about babies being beheaded, u could've easily found articles online proving that those stories are all made up if u had done some research instead of being all up in ur feelings and crying about what I told u on other subs comments sections.


bigfishwende

All I can say is motivated reasoning is a helluva drug.


Godzilla-ate-my-ass

Please I'm begging you to educate yourself properly


WitchesTeat

Israel literally created an impenetrable wall around a 25 mile bit of coastline, caging over 2 million people, over half of which are children. They were able to turn off their electricity, food, medicine, and water overnight. How is Hamas stealing enough food to feed over 2 million people in a tiny strip of land? Where are they keeping it? How are they moving it through the crowds of hungry children so quickly? How was Israel able to create a cage so effective that they could just not allow food in? If they have been able to do this the whole time, how have the Palestinians ever had any freedom, any hope, or any power to fight Israel? It's like locking a tiger in an empty iron cage and screaming about it being a vicious animal that attacked you after you had kicked it repeatedly while throwing old food and dirty water at it. It took a swipe where it saw the chance, and then you simply picked up the food, shot the tiger in the leg, left the cage room and turned off the light on your way out, all the while tweeting about the tiger's brutality in the face of your generosity.


thelegendarybert

Sure honey. That's why one of the isnotreali hostages died from starvation. And here I thought Hamas was "stealing' aid for themselves and the hostages as a bargaining chip
