Brings back memories of dehumanised people, that of all the people in the world, Israelis were expected to never want to see again the most

And they still call themselves democratic country. Very democratic of them to humiliate human beings whose only fault is that they are of "military age" and not evacuated to the south. Apparently for Israel all males in Gaza are guilty until proven otherwise.

A textbook genocide with daily war crimes.

Israel has lost the war. Young people don't like Israel. Right wingers hate Jews. Leftists hate apartheid. There is no way out.

Military, oil, and other megacorporations love Israel though.

Majority opinion doesn't matter as much as that of the capitalist ruling class under capitalism, unless there's massive protests and riots.

Lots of right leaning conservatives in America dick ride the Zionists.

But ig they don't represent all right wingers

The issue is bipartisan. Dems love Israel just the same it seems.

You got the Christo-Con old guard Republicans who will drop to their knees at the drop of a hat to suck the nearest Israeli's dick. They make up majority of the over-60s, which is frankly a pretty major segment of the Republicans. These are the guys who will automatically side with our greatest ally regardless of context.

Trump-leaning but not fanatical Republicans tend to be pro-Zionism or at the very least they are neutral to it. I feel like this group is exceedingly small.

But MAGA-ers? It's hard to place them. You get a mix bag of hardcore Zionists, white nationalists, libertarians who are against the funding, it's all over the fucking place.

I do feel like Zionism is dropping among Republicans year by year.

There are no more corners to cut from Israel's holocaust victim card

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Oh look more war crimes.

You are in fact supposed to give them their clothes back after you make sure there's nothing bad in them. This kind of humiliation is a form of torture.

Before someone asks, I'm pretty sure they aren't going anywhere with hoods and cuffs on.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


With fighting raging around Khan Younis and in the north of Gaza, a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.

Asked about the video, a spokesman for the Israeli government told the BBC the men detained were all of military age and had been "discovered in areas that civilians were supposed to have evacuated weeks ago".

In the video, dozens of men are lined up on a pavement and appear to have been told to remove their shoes, which are scattered across the road.

Another image - which has not yet been verified by the BBC - shows men blindfolded, kneeling in what appears to be a large pit of bulldozed sand.

On Friday, Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy told the BBC the men had been detained in Jabalia and Shejaiya in northern Gaza, which he described as "Hamas strongholds and centres of gravity".

It added that soldiers forced the men to remove their clothes and "subjected them to invasive searches and humiliating treatment upon their arrest, prior to transporting them to undisclosed locations".
