The IDF is not an army, it's a terrorist group.

Their reservists from occupied West Bank are definitely comparable to those monstrous brigades of SS commiting the worst atrocities during WW2

Remember to keep the blame on those who deserve it. The government party in charge; their dogs the military, but specifically the members who partake in this cruelty; the brainwashed citizens who copy them; and the international lawmakers and those in positions of foreign power who defend them. Foreign civilians who support them are a lower tier, but they don't deserve hostility.

That's an extensive list

83% of Israeli Jewish people support the war on Gaza.

Sincerely can't tell if your English is poor or what. You share a picture of Isreal gunning down food and claim it's about Israel's right to defend themselves. What the fuck is gunning down horses going to protect Isreal from? Starving infants? This isn't fuel or bombs or anything related to terrorism. Isreal are the terrorists and it's a fucking disgrace we pay our tax money so you can gun down the aid that is also costing us tax money.

Edit: I need to amend this to include the fact that under the 1948 genocide convention, something Isreal should be very familiar with, is considered an act of genocide.

Okay guys I get it, it was sarcasm. We've all seen the type of shit zionist say and it struck a nerve. My bad.

I believe it is sarcasm.

I sincerely can't tell if you don't understand sarcasm or just don't pay attention to the situation at all. Because that's the basic argument that Israel and their genocide supporters use to justify the active ethnic cleansing and intentional starvation of the people of Gaza.

I'm stupid the sarcasm didn't register at 6am.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I see you're not familiar with the concept of sarcasm.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In today's online messaging world, one person's sarcasm is another's opinion. Without /s it is very hard to tell which it is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seemed like it was pretty easy to me and seems like it was pretty easy to most everyone else who saw this.

@njm1314 @Bubbaonthebeach
@faab64

Maybe so, but if 2 people admitted that they were confused, there were surely more who didn't admit it.

Seems to me like the /s is worth the effort.

Show me a single message of sympathy from any Muslim on the October 7 bombings and Israeli deaths. Please. It would increase my sympathy to that group and I would like that.

I'd highly suggest you do a little searching of your own as there are many sources from the past two years now that include plenty of Muslims, both individuals and members of their state governments, that have condemned the violence on both sides. Notably some are placing more blame on Hamas, others on Israel.

Anyways here's a single link for you just since you asked for a single message, but there are plenty more for you to see, you just have to look.

Like everything else, there's obviously nuance. I also condemn the actions of Hamas on Oct 7th but the retaliation by Israel of carrying out a literal genocide in Gaza and being responsible tens of thousands of deaths of civilians is vile. It's not proportional, it's not humane and they're literally starving people to death.

At the base level this is about treating fellow humans as people worthy of dignity and respect. Not like they're insects to be exterminated.
