Remember when the US government said invading rafah would be "too far"?

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 76 points 1 month ago

It's ok, just think of all the 4 year old hamas terrorists they killed!

But but but, October 7th was unjustifiable, so surely it justifies this! These two things are absolutely, for sure, 100% the same thing! /S

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The talkie-talkie of the US government not matching their walkie-walkie.

What! A! Shocker!

Israel did this because they thought it would make them safer. The future generations won't forget this. They might as well make their country an island

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 72 points 1 month ago (7 children)

The kids surviving this, will have all the right to make hell rain upon these monsters.

Sorry, this "only defending ourselves" farce is absurd and we, the so called "civilized world", had an obligation to stop this a long time ago.

Anti-Fucking-Israel is no Anti-Semitism!

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 month ago

The kids surviving this,

That's why Israel's plan is to literally exterminate them all.

They won't. The folks getting bombed to paste are going to struggle just to survive into the next few years. They are going to be in no position to resist their oppressors. Those who have the guns make the rules, and the IDF is far better armed thanks to the billions of dollars in military aid Americans continue to ship them.

This apartheid will continue until Americans agree to boycott the Israeli military.

They did it because they want to genocide Palestine - this only creates a bunch of people with justifiable hatred of Israel and nothing to lose.

If they wanted to be safer, they wouldn't have funded Hamas' displacement of the secular moderates, gleefully committed and publicised thousands of warcrimes, established an ethnostate, conducted decades of land grabs, or scream maniacally about a second, bigger Amalek.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm sorry but your point is anchored on an old Propaganda myth of Israel.

Israel's lack of safety comes from them having stolen Palestinian land and continuing to steal Palestinian land, for decades.

If safety was their prime objective, they could stop stealing Palestinian land, give back at least some Palestinian land and compensate the victims for the rest (I am assuming here that Israel would keep some of the originally stolen land to continue to exist as a nation).

They have chosen not to do that and instead they have chosen to use force against Palestinians to stop their just rage at having their land stolen and have chosen to Genocide Palestinians to finally take away the rest of their land.

Safety is not the primary reason for the actions of Israel. Safety is an excuse and at best a second or third order reason derived from their real primary reason:

  • Israel did this (as they did most of what they did to Palestinians for 7 decades) because they want to steal all the Palestinian land.
[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

No, the didn't do this because "they think it will make them safer" they knew exactly what they doing and that's why there is a genocide case against them.

They might as well make their country an island

They'd probably prefer that

this genocide has made me very anti israel

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 33 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Save for a very brief period of time, I was always anti-Israel, but I simply was unaware of just HOW fucked up Israel was due to a variety of factors.

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Israel and its supporters did a GREAT job of linking anti-israel sentiment to antisemitism. That alone made reporting of its messed up actions and history taboo. Certainly does not help that neonazis are also frequently anti-israel.

But... Shit... I mean Israel was founded on white jewish supremacy. Real hard to have a state founded on racial supremacy not turn into a fucking nightmare.

The before and after sliders are the saddest thing I've seen in a while.

~~It shows, the weapons they used really flatted the area, there's no chance of surviving this, if you were hiding somewhere within.~~

Edit: Ok, the layer of sand/soil over everything makes the whole seem much flatter than it is. When you zoom in, you can notice some buildings almost invisible but still standing. When zoomed out a little, they're gone. But even so...

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

I needed to cross check in Egypt zu see how the buildings look like as reference.

Still lots of destruction.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 19 points 1 month ago

That's insane.

It should however be noted that the new image is taken at a different angle and likely time of day. So the destruction looks exaggerated. If you look closely you can find several buildings that look destroyed at first glance, are actually intact but just hard to spot.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago

Fuck Israel

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 month ago

That is grim. Repost that.

[–] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Definitely a proportionate response. Doing their best to reproduce carpet bombing in a world where carpet bombing no longer works without using a nuke. Takes a lot of effort, effort better spent elsewhere...

Can a genocide like that be consider war? Not that the statement is wrong.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 month ago (3 children)
[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sadly they certainly helped. And very likely Isreali agents encouraged and supported them to do it. There are certainly power hungry people in hamas who saw this as an opportunity to increase their power at the expense of their people. Just like the Israeli politicians are openly doing now. And American politicians... and... These people pit two sides against each other for thier own personal gain and to stop the people from seeing the real enemy. Been like this for centuries...

We weren't sure which building Hamas was hiding in so we just bombed them all.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For those curious why the second image looks so different take a look at this video
