In the full video she tells the interviewer that she misses bread and then the man asks her where her dad is and she says "he's in heaven" and she fights back the tears.

Ya think I'm going to give that video a skip. I'm tearing up from just the picture and the headline alone =(

[–] fastandcurious 23 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Can you link it? Fuck Israel in all ways possible, if anyone deserves to burn in hell for eternity, they are the topmost contender

Edit: I wonder how long will it take the US and UN to declare IDF as a terrorist organization? Oh wait, you are not a terrorist if you are supported by the US? Makes sense

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean, unless we assume that the United States is a terrorist organisation, then it would make sense why they would support the likes of the IOF.... Eh Eh?

One thing I have seen is that ‘murica is smart, instead of directly killing the people they hate, they get it done through Israel while putting on a mask ‘If you daddy Israel wont stop, I’ll make sure to spank you’, Russia could learn a lesson or two

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, If you ask me, the United States is the largest terror organisation in the world.

If we need evidence, me exibit A is this post, this girl would not be missing bread or her father if it where not for the United States... if we need more examples I am happy to provide, but I am going to be suspect if this argument 1 does not turn you

[–] fastandcurious 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ofc, they have been committing crimes especially in the middle east ever since my parents were born, and have directly and indirectly killed millions, but ofc they always get away with it, however if someone else does the same, they get freaking bombed, I hate every autocratic dictatorship around the world but I just have a personal grudge with the democratic US, I don’t think anyone has killed more than them, while also being directly responsible for the rise of radical organizations around the world

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"democratic" studies show that the will of the people has no effect on the decisions of the government, Oligarchic or Plutocratic is the correct word

[–] fastandcurious 6 points 4 months ago

Well its not like the ppl in the US have much of a choice tho, you can either choose genocide Joe or genocide squared trump, I have no idea why they still elected ppl like reagan or bush tho

I don't understand how Israel can create this humanitarian crisis and then prevent aid from helping. I just went to Oxfam's website to see what they are doing and where donations are going and they've only been able to provide about 6,000 food parcels because Israel won't allow aid workers to have access. As human beings we have a moral obligation to save humans from dying needlessly but Israel is doing this on purpose. They don't deserve this, it doesn't make sense.

[–] filister 53 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They pretty much were doing this even before the attack. They were on purpose limiting the amount of resources entering Gaza, and that is why this tunnel network in Gaza was built in the first place. Because Israel was purposefully limiting the amount of goods delivered into Gaza.

It is really despicable what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank and what they were doing for years without any meaningful reaction from the West.

[–] whostosay 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah but obviously these people are lesser than everyone else, so it totally makes sense this 4 year old along with thousands of others deserve starvation and shouldn't even be able to have family to comfort her.

This just might be the most heart breaking clip I've ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 4 months ago

Allowing aid would be counter to their goal of genocide.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's easy when you're racist and see non-Jews as subhuman.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

non-jews and non-whites... they have also turned away black jewish people trying to enter and claim the "right to return" because well the racism thing

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

It makes sense if you think of Israel as a colonial power.

[–] Aceticon 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I don’t understand how Israel can create this humanitarian crisis and then prevent aid from helping.

It's a lot cheaper and easier to starve people to death in the giant concentration camp they were born in, than to gather them, to transport them to much smaller concentration camps and then have to spend money on Zyklon B to get rid of them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Du Pont is really picky and choosy with which totalitarian regimes they supply extermination gas to.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

It does make sense, but priorities are different so it's less noticeable.

From a military point of view, starving the enemy is a victory in itself. Means fewer numbers to deal with.

And that's all these people are to them, the enemy.

[–] hperrin 67 points 4 months ago

I’ve never missed bread. That’s so sad that there’s a population that misses bread only because another population has decided that they’re less than human.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

An IAF soldier reading this article:
"Aww, how sad. I wonder if there's anything I could do to help? Ooh, I know!"
He then proceeds to scribble "Bread" on one of the munitions he's loading.

A second soldier notices this and comes near.
"Hey man, that's not cool. What's she going to do with just one bread? We need a dozen loaves at least!"
He starts scribbling as well.

Their commander looks on speechless and shakes his head at their antics.
"What a bunch of degenerates."
He places his own marker aside and goes to reprimand his subordinates. Behind him a missile newly babtized 'Dildo of Doom' lies in silence.

I dunno. This could be a Hamas ruse.

Heartbreaking. She looks so young.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

She'll age more than most of us, if she survives at all. A forced famine was always part of the plan.

WE could be living in a Utopia but religion exists.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Look man, I am not religious, but religion is not the reason bad people do bad things, I am not going to say it is nessicarily an inharent part of their charicter, but there are other reasons. People will also do great feets of good in the name of religion as well. to boil it all down to religion is really an over simplification.

[–] fastandcurious 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

You see lemmy has decided whenever anything bad happens religion is to blame, Measles? Religion, Global Warming? Religion, War? Religion

Idk what the fuck is going on in the US, but from what I can tell is that they are using religion as an excuse to do whatever the fuck they want (anyone who has the slightest knowledge of the bible knows this is wrong anyway), while also not changing their conservative mindset, I live in a religious conservative society as well and it is 100% the conservativesm I have a problem with, not with people believing in a god

Edit: And I am not a christian either before I get comments like ‘gO aWaY buTthUrt ChrISTOfacIst lol’, I just have studied a fair share of major religions

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ill be honest, I am an Athiest, and I had about a year where I went through the "reddit athiest" phase where all religion is evil, but religion is very rarely, especialy in modern time (but I would argue even in pre modern) the root cause of the issue, is it a stated reason, yes, is it an accelerant to the issue maybe, but very rarely have I found it to be the rout cause.

[–] fastandcurious 4 points 4 months ago

Religion in itself is not evil, but it definitely can be used in a very evil way, but I don’t think ‘kill all religion’ is the way to combat it, instead we should educate ppl about what their religion actually says, it’s pretty clear that Jesus was a socialist who wanted the rich to pay their taxes, and Islam has a mandatory charity every muslim has to give, just to name a few things, but people don’t know all this, because all they have been taught is ‘kill anyone who is not like you’, and also show that religion is something you can share, not force, and this again ties back to what I said about conservatism, people don’t want to accept they are wrong about somethings they believe in

[–] Maggoty 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

In the US religion is absolutely being used to spearhead social conservatism and anti-government ideas. Evangelists are backing candidates who say stuff like "only while male Christians should be able to vote". And the judge appointed to the Supreme Court that shifted it to the far right has heavy ties to that same section of Christianity.

Let's not forget too that the entire reason we have this conflict is extremist Jews believe God gave them the entirety of Palestine and Syria.

Religion is a catch-all for beliefs, ideology, etc, and it is religion. The fight is your sky God versus my sky God. Meanwhile, it's the same fucking God.

Name a mass genocide / terrorist attack committed by atheists. And I'm talking about groups, not some neckbeard from Reddit who decided to shoot up a school.

I'll wait.

[–] Sludgeyy 2 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Stalin wasn't religious and actively tried to stamp out religion.

He killed what, 6+ million people?

A lot of bad things have happened because of religion but i wouldn't consider it the only thing keeping us from an utopia.
