So we're just going to have to sit here and let Israel murder these kids. Yeah religion is trash

The IAF blew up 400 men, women and children and today Netanyahu said, "this is only the beginning."

You can get deported from the US now for pointing that out.

Well at least we know Trump will handle this much more ethically than that genocide-supporting demon Harris!

[–] smol_beans 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I really don't know, but what was it that convinced you that Harris would stop any of this? I didn't get any inkling from her campaign that she'd do anything about the genocide, maybe I missed something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

She would have done nothing different than Biden, so nothing would have changed in Israel's mass genocide.

[–] LovableSidekick 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure she wouldn't be deporting people, slashing programs, banning "wokeness" etc, and I know she wouldn't have appointed a bunch of unqualified toadies to head federal departments.

[–] smol_beans 1 points 7 hours ago

I'm asking if she ever said anything that makes you think she'd handle Palestine different

First a statement, so i dont get put into pro or anti anyone. I utterly hate the hamas leader who decided to sacrifice palestinians for their cause by igniting this latest bloodbath just as much a I hate the israely leaders who cheefully accepted the invitation to violently take the land. I dont give a rat's ass about religion and strongly advocate against religion being a incentive to kill or be killed. Let people live for fuck's sake. End of statement. (maybe I need a short motto for this)

Now out of pure curiosity Israel tell gazaan to leave but offer no destinations, surrounding countries will not accept gazan partly out of not wishing to be destabilized and partly not wanting to help israel in the cleansing. Was westbank ever considered as a destination ? if so how was it received? It seem to me to be the least horrific solution.

[–] smol_beans 7 points 1 day ago

Israel is in the process of taking more of the West Bank too, Israel isn't going to let Palestinians stay there long term.

Do you think there's a 13 year old girl in Gaza who is writing a diary that will be widely read by children across the world 40-50 years from now?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Well, with the way things are going, it won’t be read in the U.S.A. It’ll be banned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Don't worry, the US won't exist in 40-50 years.

Maybe, but it will probably be destroyed by carpet bombing before anyone sees it.

It's 2025, the teenagers mostly document their lives on social media. Tent life guy from Gaza got killed but there are others.

When this empire falls and the genocide history is able to be taught then yes I think some of these video records will be studied by children around the world.

Most of Palestinians are under the age of 18. Basically telling a bunch of kids he's going to kill them.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is a fact I try to bring up often... It's a truly disturbing piece of information

Also, they're struggling to survive without enough supplies, they're being cut off from the Internet and power in part so they can't get their message to the world, and they couldn't kick out Hamas if they wanted to - they have no organization or individual power to actually do that

So it's worth considering...who is this message for?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

who is this message for?

Everyone watching from the outside. It's an attempt to convince us that Israel is being fair and giving non-conbatants a fair way out, and that anyone caught in the crossfire from this point forward chose to stay.

If Israel and Russia can get away with it, then too the USA, and this is the ultimate goal: taking back the world to the days of "territorial conquests".

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Israel killing civilians at random probably isn't going to help bring the average Palestinian to their side against Hamas. If they were being nice to the civilians they might actually be willing to help you.

[–] IndustryStandard 61 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This might come as a surprise but Israel wants to kill all Palestinians and steal their land. Not "beat Hamas".

[–] k1nk33 18 points 1 day ago

This is exactly the sentiment. In no reality would they stop once these objectives are met.

[–] Bloomcole 18 points 2 days ago (7 children)

If only Hitler would've killed less civilians maybe the invaded countries would've been willing to help him with those awful resistance fighters.

This is insane, this message looks like something out of a Command and Conquer game.
