Gotta love how they told people to go south then bombed them there, as well as hospitals. And they can just say every target, no matter how many civilians die, was a "Hamas target" and it's "Hamas' responsibility to protect civilians" while they indiscriminately bomb these civilians.

Crazy that more people aren't speaking up against this.

They told people to evacuate and then bombed the evacuation routes.

Israeli spokespersons keep saying they're fighting Nazis, but I only see Nazis on their side of this.

Once Palestinians starteing evacuating North Gaza, Israel bombed the humanitarian corridor that they'd declared as safe.

Russia did the same to Ukrainians last year and EU & NATO & UN supported Ukraine. Now they support Israel.

I swear to God, I can’t name another country that takes such little criticism ever in the MSM other than Israel.

A fucking hospital ffs.

If it was any other West Asian country doing this, the entire West would be denouncing them and taking action. But because its Israel doing it, this is fine.

Because there are consequences of you go against the grain. It's all about money...always. Palestinians have little to no money and influence.

It's sad that this type of comment can be and is often spun as "antisemitism"

the toxic sludge of racism + Islamophobia = support and empowerment for Israel to ethnically cleanse Palestine of Palestinians.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (7 children)

The other, possibly larger, part of it is the fear of being labeled antisemitic. Antisemitism is a huge problem all over the world but Jews aren't to blame for what's going on - Zionist are.

US President Joe Biden will once again emphasise Israel's “right and duty” to defend itself.

More like "ight n dty tdfnfd ishlf", the old fuck sounds like he's trying to eat his own teeth.

The most powerful country in human history, and out of its 330 million people the best they could find to lead them was this guy who's literally dying in front of our eyes.

Fuck me.

What Hamas did was horrible, a terrorist attack and atrocity for sure, but we're watching an actual genocide and half of the world is cheering it on. I feel like I'm talking crazy pills. What the fuck is wrong with people and what can we do to stop this?!?

Some nerd reported the post suggesting that maybe it was a Palestinian air strike. LMAO

[–] ApexHunter@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Israel is claiming that some rockets launched by Hamas towards Israel went off course and hit the hospital.

I remember Russia staging a "Ukrainian missle attack", but they were so bad at it that the damage was on the side of buildings facing away from Ukraine. Should be pretty easy to check that here too...

Hamas not killing more than 50 people with rockets in the last 20 years but had this hospital flattening rocket all along which they only decided to use tonight, it then blew up a hospital that just happened to be the one the Israelis told to evacuate before they bombed it. Yeah?

From the river to the sea

Hasan called this yesterday. Of course he was right

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Death to Israel. Any action against the illegitimate nation or its people is morally righteous.

Absolutely monstrous. Death to Israel, the us and every country continuing to support this genocidal regime

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

The hospitals are packed with children. Holy shit.
