All Israeli crimes, past and present. The Israeli genocide of Gaza has a historical context behind it.

"Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered. But never before have I watched as soldiers enticed children like mice into a trap and murdered them for sport."
- Christopher Hedges American journalist on assignment in Gaza
I can’t imagine covering something that involves so much child murder. You’ve got to be both extremely passionate about spreading the word of these atrocities while also completely dead inside from all the horror you’ve witnessed firsthand
There's a point in ptsd where you just keep going. I imagine they quickly find themselves at that point. They're probably going to be in treatment for the rest of their lives for what they've witnessed, but they understand the importance of what they're doing
Can some aliens just come in and blow up Earth please? Humanity does not deserve to exist.
It's not the humanity, it's the 1 % that think that they have devine rule, again.
Wasn't NASA talking about an asteroid heading our way!
Even the Asteroid took one look and said "fuck that"
I say we launch the earth defence rockets anyway an coax it back on course
It was going to impact South America, they don't deserve it.
Yeah but they keep reducing the chance to hit so with jt starting off at 3% it just is not happening.
DART has shown us, that we can deflect asterids a bit. If we time it right, maybe we can get a successful hit on the next encounter.
Last I heard, it had increased from ~1% to like 2.4/2.5%?
Never discount a 3% chance, lots of things happen every day with those odds.
It's been revised to 0.001%
We'll see as it gets closer.
It's not all humanity, just a group of people who stole Palestinian land because they claim to be "god chosen people" who think they can do anything.
Yeah but the rest of humanity is doing fuckall to stop it. Many even support it.
What makes a soldier hate the enemy so much?
Israel studied all propaganda from past Colonists and Nazis, and distilled it into the purest level of population brainwashing. Also known to mankind as Zionism.
There's a distinction here. It's quite natural to hate the person trying to kill you. No matter how you got into the situation. It's a mental defense mechanism.
What's usually done to make soldiers hate everyone in an area is to conflate enemies with civilians. Without that hard line between the two it's really easy to push people into hating everyone and really easy to commit war crimes at that point.
A "healthy" military has strict rules of engagement that reinforce that line. Like not shooting unarmed people unless you can attach them to the enemy somehow. (Every time we get mortared, that guy is filming it and their propaganda videos are from his angle) And even then you'd prefer to capture him for intelligence gains. There's a clear preference against killing in asymmetric warfare because it causes so many problems. So soldiers learn to hate on demand, basically once you cross the line and become an enemy fighter the hate turns on. Almost like a light switch.
A "sick" military erases that line and prefers killing to capturing. The hate is just turned on all the time. The leadership actively takes steps to conflate civilians and enemies and take advantage of the brain's defense mechanism to ensure their soldiers shoot anyone who comes close unless they're under strict orders at the time.
Israel has a sick military that needs to be disarmed.
Zionist indoctrination since childhood.
Israel is a sick society that need dezionistfication.
I'm sure this happened Olin other "conflicts", but the only other time I know of where this was so rampant was japan during WWII, especially the rape of Nankin and unit 731
