The scissors being banned is obviously ridiculous, but solar powered lights?! What could anyone possibly do with them? Smash them and use a shard as a shiv?

[–] dumpsterlid 44 points 9 months ago

Lights can represent hope, and Israel is very focused on destroying that in Palestinian’s hearts right now.

I was being bitterly sarcastic but honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if Israel was being that cruel.

The sun is a massive nuclear reactor, don't you see the problem in letting Hamas have access to technology that can harness that power?

How fucking absurd is it that the kind of aid that gets allowed in is dictated by the people making that aid a necessity

It's a little easier to understand if you imagine you have someone confined in a small space, like a ghetto for example, and you really hate them and you're in charge of feeding them. I've seen it once before in history somewhere. A lot of people starved.

And lest anyone dare think I'm antisemitic, some of my favourite people in this world are Jewish. You can be Jewish and still a sociopathic cunt hair, be recognised for it and that recognition not be antisemitic. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Sorry, I'm just very upset after reading about the anasthetic-less amputations on kids above.

Oh yeah I fully understand Israel is a nazi state, no question. I'm not surprised at all that it's going on. Just thinking about how the US would react if Putin tried to dictate what aid was allowed to enter Ukraine, for example. The contrast is striking.

Yeah but Hamas

Don't forget anesthetics. Over 1000 kids have undergone amputations without anesthetics.

Israel is deliberately making 1000 children feel the horrifying pain of having their arm/leg sawn off without any painkillers.

Jesus fucking Christ. Is that confirmed true?

From two months ago:

GAZA: More than 10 children a day lose a limb in three months of brutal conflict

Since 7 October, more than 1,000 children have had one or both legs amputated, according to UNICEF. Many of these operations on children were done without anaesthetic, with the healthcare system in Gaza crippled by the conflict, and major shortages of doctors and nurses, and medical supplies like anaesthesia and antibiotics,

With 10 a day that's another 600 since January, and those 600 child amputations are almost certainly without anesthetics since israel banned them.

Oh God. I wasn't able for that today. :( How can someone be so brutally savage.
