Every Zionist accusation is a confession.

Most moral army in the world

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

couldn't have. bibi said they were the most moral army in the world.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Clearly, it's the most moral thing to do... /s

He was obviously a shop-owner of a Hamas store!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

In the end, Hamas was all the bodies made along the way

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

If only the IDF could read then they wouldn't have mistake the Hummus on display for Hamas.

What the fuck.

We are disgusting species.

[–] m13 46 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It’s not us a “species” which is disgusting. It’s capitalism and a history of settler-colonialism which enforce disgusting behaviour.

Humans learn through language and culture. Yes at the moment the vast majority of humans blindly follow along in behaving in an abhorrent manner, but that doesn’t mean our fate is sealed or that we’re incapable of change, and building a new culture which encourages cooperative and better behaviour.

Yeah, capitalism is what caused all the world wars, even the little battles those guys with the swords did back in 900BC.

You can't just shift the blame for everything in the world on that one thing you hate, just doesn't work like that

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Capitalism literally caused both world wars.

Sure, but a lot of other humans didn't. Can't much write off an entire species because we failed to prevent an outlier from gaining power for a little while.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also can't much attribute all the complexities of both wars to just "capitalism" either. That was my point.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes you can? Capitalism was very much at the root of the conflict. It can accurately be reduced to capitalism. You can elaborate and provide further detail to how it happened, but that doesn't change the big picture.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course you can over-simplify everything. You can do whatever you want!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

There is a difference between simplifying and oversimplifying. Just like there is a difference between nuance and losing the forest for the trees.

Wasn't it a couple lads with hurt feelings?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The larger causes were interimperial squabbling which is inevitable when capitalism reaches the stage of competing for foreign markets.

[–] markr 7 points 1 year ago

Look at it this way: industrialized warfare required capitalism.

[–] skeezix 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those guys with the swords in 900bc were fighting over the ability to hoard and exploit available resources and value. That’s capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So what do you call whenever it’s two communist regimes that are fighting over resources

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

It's never the disgusting species — it's always some disgusting bipedal animal with insufficient humanity.

[–] TokenBoomer 12 points 1 year ago

Al-Jizzeera is a not a reliable source and funded by the Cutter gub’ment. /s

safety is no accident

Notice how nobody threw stones at the man? Contrast that to what Israel does to Hamas's "human shields".

[–] Potatofish -1 points 1 year ago

What? They'd have to be throwing boulders. What are you smoking?

"Every israel accusation is a confession "

The shopkeeper was clearly using those two soldiers behind him as a human shield to cover his back. Those soldiers feared for their lives
