Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

updated as of yesterday (July 21): based on a statistical model developed by a prestigious medical journal called The Lancet, Israel has killed roughly 434,800 people in Gaza since the country’s military started to attack the territory on 8 October 2023. That’s 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population dead. Over half are women and children.

Ceterum censeo Israel esse delendam

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All violence on any "western" country is justified at this point.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago

A million 9/11s on the west.

[–] 3rdWorldCommieCat@hexbear.net 75 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Death to the entirety of israhell and the west and anybody who even slightly supports them. Unlimited death and genocide and hell upon those monsters masquerading as humans.

[–] refolde@hexbear.net 55 points 1 week ago

Supporting Israel in any capacity should be a war crime punishable by death.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 61 points 1 week ago

Ya, this sounds waaaay more correct than the official numbers people have been using for awhile. Unfortunately, just like The Lancet's last estimates, no media is going to use these.

[–] TauZero@mander.xyz 50 points 1 week ago

One year ago I was literally being told "This can't be genocide! Only 4% of population has been killed." Now what?

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 50 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Even the Romans considered decimation (killing 10% of a population) to be a brutally extreme measure. Imagine being twice as evil as the fucking Roman empire.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

USA killed around the same percentage in DPRK.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

i thought it was 20% of the entire population of the peninsula.

Entire population of Peninsula was around 28 million at the time of which 19 million were in south and 9 million in north. South lost less in absolute numbers and much less in %.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

IIRC the Cambodian genocide under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge was 25% of the population. If the Isrealis killed 40% of Palestinians, they have surpassed one of the worst mass murderers in history.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

Many of those were killed by American bombing campaigns as well though

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 47 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I wonder what will happen. Will the general public ever realize this? Like lets say the worst case happens and they wipe out everyone. Israel takes over Gaza entirely. Will people not wonder where the 2 million people went? How does the media spin that? Altho i guess if people arent questioning the numbers already maybe its just on purpose. They want to believe it's smaller than it is so they can justify ignoring it.

[–] refolde@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago

Think they're just going to keep suppressing dissidence until the genocide is complete and then spend the next several years sweeping it under the rug and keep on suppressing until people gradually forget about it and then the Israeli empire of genocide is just an everyday reality.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

The narrative will change into there never being any Palestinians at all, and that it was just a bunch of default “Arabs” that were driven to neighboring countries

now that's about the number i think is likely near correct.

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 1 week ago

Now that they're all starving in concentration camps, that number will increase rapidly.

Is Israel what Nazi Germany would have turned out if every allied power except the Soviet Union and China had sided and backed them instead?

I feel numb

[–] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

They are truly vile. Hatred is a vast understatement for how I'm feeling at this point. Death to the zionist entity forever. Never let that shit return when it's dismantled

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago

Entirely soul crushing. There can be no words.

[–] refolde@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (8 children)

I keep asking: What the fuck makes Israel so different? What makes them so special? Is it Israeli exceptionalism? Like fuck imagine other genocidal colonial states looking at Israel and taking notes on how to conduct a successful genocide. Oh if only Nazi Germany had done this. Oh if only Apartheid South Africa had done this etc etc what the actual fuck.

[–] RaisedFistJoker@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Israel is a part of the US empire. The US empire acts with impunity. Apartheid SA and Nazi Germany were not part of such an empire

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

Israelis are Americans, are Europeans, are Russians.

They don't condemn Israel or try to stop it because they ARE Israel.

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

South Africa was actually far less murderous than the Israelis have been (low bar I know).

My point being, imagine making apartheid South Africa look humane.

Bloodthirsty genocidal maniac shit.

Are people on this website ready to have conversations about Jewish supremacy yet

[–] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think the logical conclusion from the events of recent years, and from the basic principle that class struggle superscedes identity politics, it was always "easy" to see that no identity group had an inherently revolutionary, or non-reactionary character.

That goes especially for the followers of abrahamic religions, who dominate large swathes of the globe and whose rulers posses unimaginable wealth.

Amongst these, the followers of Judaism had an even bigger advantage that there existed an exploitative project explicitly design to extract and spread wealth for them, while their numbers are small. This leading to to the result of them consistently ranking amongst the most well-off demographics, that is, the most bourgeoisfied of the proletariat anywhere in the world.

So in that sense, talking of a problem of Jewish supremacism is entirely valid. And yet, such a talk entirely understates the horror of the zionist project. It is not something that merely threatens some abstract ideal of racial equality, it is the lynchpin of western colonialism in the 21rst century. The zionist project very much has the potential to kick-start what might be known as the third world war by future historians, if it hasn't already.
