Al Jazeera presents a video depicting a ground operation by Israeli soldiers in Gaza City, within the besieged Gaza Strip, on 6 November. The footage shows Israeli soldiers discussing the...
Just to be clear, this was an elderly Palestinian man cowering under a bed who came out with his hands up and was murdered by an Israeli soldier who brags about it after.
Israel has never not been a fascist state. Religion is humanity's oldest lash. Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism is a heretical revolutionary cult against the political structures that each prior religion corrupted itself into.
I remember around 10 years ago, there were some videos of what the youth were taught in school, and interviews with young adults about their opinion of Palestinians.
To sum it up, they were taught they were filth, sub human, in ~grade school ages. Young adults "sympathized" that they had tough lives, but they should go elsewhere, anywhere else, and that if they didn't, they should die.
It was in the context of that anti missile defense, and living in Isreal with frequent missile/terror attacks, and how Palestinians were segregated, had long lines to enter the city, couldn't use the same roads, kids throwing rocks at cars, etc.
So yeah, this genocide is hardly surprising. They've been dehumanizing the Palestinians for generations, straight up indoctrinating their children. So the IDF murdering them like some rabid dogs was exactly the goal.
And that is all really ridiculous brainwashing, considering that all those people look very similar. You could take random Israelis and Palestinians and dress them up all in the same clothes, and then ask people which person was which ethnic group and they might not be able to tell them apart.
This is my favorite Black Mirror episode because, unlike most of the episodes, it has literally been done before except we don't need the technology they used. People are cruel and stupid enough to just listen when you say other people are monsters without requiring much else.
They brag about killing an unarmed man cowering under a bed.
Then they congratulate the killer.
Then they go back to shoot at the corpse.
What. The. Fucking. Hell.
And I can't do anything about it except keep up some degree of internet activism, but that doesn't really alleviate that feeling of needing to do something.
I hope that video gets around and ruins the life of this Lior named person who did the killing. As in I hope he faces some motherfucking consequences for this horrible stuff.
Woah, interdimensional communication! I just want to say you're lucky you get to live in the universe where justice is actually served to those that deserve it!
If you look up who is signed up to what part of the Geneva convention, I suspect you won't be at all surprised to see various countries in the news right now and which bits they're not signed up to.
Apparently the kibbutzim are quite bad for "radicalising" children into this kind of hyper-nationalist, fascist mentality. That's an ironic legacy for a series of communes, but maybe it's a byproduct of their insularity?
To be fair, that area is considered an active war zone, and all civillians knew that way ahead of the invasion.
If it was intentional, fuck him. But if it was by mistake and as a precaution against Hamas (who are known to wear civilian clothes) - then you really can't blame them for not wanting to be ambushed.
How are ya'll expecting an army to act in a war zone?
"Oh then I guess I'll just won't leave my home and wait for certain death to come to me"
Bro WHAT. How is it even the IDF's responsibility to provide safe spaces in Gaza?
Did Hamas provide "safe spaces" on 7/10? Did Hezbollah provide "safe spaces" before bombing houses?
No one expects them to do anything before attacking, but everyone expects Israel to not only tell before an attack to evacuate, but to secure that evacuation place. That's such hypocrisy.
From the article / post:
" The soldier who fired the shots describes entering the home and encountering only one unarmed Palestinian, gesturing and saying, 'No, no.' "
He openly admits to shooting an unarmed Palestinian man.
You really have to explain the "to he fair" part here, when the subject line is a soldier bragging about shooting an innocent old man by justifying it with "well he was a palestinian terrorist
"less rapy and genocidy" you mean.... Like exactly what Hamas did that started this whole war, who got that old man killed? Then sure. I expect every human to not rape and kill innocents.
Actually as the best friend of an Israeli evacuate from the north, which haven't been in their house for over 8 months, I can say 100% that fleeing for your safety is something only idiots refuse to do.
Also fuck you for wishing that I'll be displaced for having an opinion :)
To be fair, you don't know what you're talking about.
1, Hamas is a political party, literally voted into power. Not all members would be militia.
B, Even if the man was of the militant arm, in full uniform and battle-rattle, killing a surrendered foe is murder and a war crime.
This coming from my experience as a Marine having acted in war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, that were occupied by many civilians and combatants.
"hamas is a political party" is the same energy as "north korea is a political party" and "china is a political party". No elections in 18 years isn't something a working government does.
And it's widely known that Hamas has no uniforms, and use civilian clothing when fighting. Heck, on 7/10 there were plenty who were IDF uniforms (I guess from fallen soldiers). Differentiating based on clothes is legit impossible.
And about surrendered foes, I completely agree. No reason if you know they're of no harm. But again, based on what Israel tells us (I doubt it aswell, but idk) there were instances of people "surrendering" and then bombing themselves.
Not a trustworthy source at all, but idk... It's not that hard to believe it.
