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.

Death to the IDF

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The IDF is bombing UN buildings and people are still waffling on calling Israel a terrorist nation is hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I had to reread this a few times to understand that "waffling" means being hesitant.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Eh am I old? that's not a strange phrase is it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

It's not a common international English word and English is not my native language.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

ah yeah I can see that, sorry

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

No worries.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Well, not that hilarious, really.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

It's hilarious in a "humanity is completely fucked I'm screaming internally" way. This is not sane laughter

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Y'know, I'm starting to think those Israelis are a bunch of fucking assholes.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 23 hours ago

If they do just one more genocide I'm gonna start getting a little angry

IDF members are war criminals. Isreal is genocidal state.

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

When not being like you it's there crime, everybody is a valid target

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

r/worldnews is Israeli gov’t propaganda

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

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.

At first a crime, then doubling down on the crime and making it a massacre, then destroying evidence and lying to everyone about the circumstances...

...I do wonder if there's something else the IDF needs to accomplish, for some countries to reconsider their support to Israel.

[–] [email protected] 91 points 1 day ago (5 children)

somehow this went from defending themselves against terrorist's, to them becoming terrorists as well

[–] [email protected] 104 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The state of Israel was founded by genocidal terrorists

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (19 children)

Religion as a concept and religious states are nothing short of fascism. It doesn't matter if the upmost entity is fictional, and the power is actually wielded by kings or popes and such, or if it's Hitler, at the end it's all the same: A way to suppress and mass murder anyone and anything that doesn't please the Führer(s).

It's always been like this, but more importantly: The IDF aren't (at least primarily) terrorists; they're a Jewish Wehrmacht launching a war of extermination on the people of Gaza. Calling that terrorism implies that they're equal to Hamas rather than subjecting Palestinians one of the worst crimes a state can commit.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Literally.

In 1948, both Irgun and Lehi disbanded and merged into the newly formed IDF, though some former members later entered israeli politics. (Yitzhak Shamir: Prime Minister of israel (1983–84, 1986–92). Initially Lehi’s operations chief, he later led the Likud party and upheld hardline Zionist policies)

A colleague lost his brother with this convoy. The path / location of the convoy was shared with the israelis too. They were executed and the vehicles completely destroyed.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Same as the Hind Rajab case (and countless others). More than a year on Israel is still 'investigating'.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Of all countries on this earth, Israel is without doubt the nastiest, most cruel, least human, most bigoted, worst possible country of them all. The people who have chosen to move to Israel as outsiders are IMO just at responsible for any death of innocent children. Are you an American "Jew"? Well good for you. now fucking stay the fuck where you belong instead of terrorizing random families thousands of miles away under the excuse that you own their house or whatever fucking messed up crap you can come up with. I have edited this comment to remove a section which I was made aware is Anti-Semitic due to conflating Judaism with Zionism - thanks for making me aware. I got carried away and regret the harsh tone of the original comment.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There are plenty of anti-Israeli Jews. Don't paint us all with the same brush.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Nearly every Jewish institution has been infected with the cancer that is zionism.

I agree with much of what you're saying... But it's antisemitic to conflate judaism with zionism.

Zios can be jewish, christian, atheist, "muslim", etc. Conversely many jews are not zionist.

There's little reason to even talk about jewish people when the actual problem is the genocidal ideology of zionism.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you for this, it is always nice to be corrected and actually learn something. I do apologise for the original comment and how it came out more harsh than intended. It is good to know there are actually many Jewish people who do not identify with Israel's actions and don't consider themselves Zionists. It is too easy to get revved up and write angry things on the internet. Thankfully this is a good media and people are actually being helpful and providing some great feedback.

Interesting thing that there are more Zionist Christians than Jewish (is it called Jewish or Jews in this case?) Definitely worth reading up on this part.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

is it called Jewish or Jews in this case?

Jews. A thing can be Jewish, a group of people can be Jews. Another rule of thumb you can use is adjective vs noun.

Wow I'm so shocked that those genocidal wackos would murder even more people. Totally unheard of. \s \s \s
