Genocide denial parade in Germany, nothing to see here

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 74 points 5 months ago

Looks historically accurate to me: Hamas is returning hostages but Israel just shoots them all with a tank anyway

Jokes aside, fuck them, just because IOF kills any man, woman, and child they happen to set their sights on, doesn't mean they were "human shields"

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

And even if they were human shields, it just enforced that Israel is genocidal. If you’re unable to restrain yourself from blowing up Palestinian civilians because they’re in the way, then you simply want to see all of them dead.

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 63 points 5 months ago

Doesn't even make Israel look good because it's still implying that Israel is tank-shooting through humans to get at Hamas.

[-] kot@hexbear.net 64 points 5 months ago

The discourse has been "it's OK to kill civilians to get at Hamas, it's Hamas' fault if they die" for quite a while now.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

But then when you reverse it to be about Israel settlers getting hit with strays while being “protected” by the IDF, suddenly that’s bad.

[-] johnmccainstumor@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago

I’m getting a “both sides is bad” take from the float, which is a terrible take by the way. Palestine is already vindicated in the history books as morally good, and that Hamas is the legitimate leaders of the Palestinians.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

This is modern Germany though. Saying Israel bad is the same as saying you worship Hitler and want him to rule the world.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago

This has the same look and artstyle of something that Germany would have put on a poster some 80 years ago.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago

If Hamas was pushing a family towards my large tank, I would simply not shoot at them to avoid reckless deaths.

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 39 points 5 months ago

Sometimes I forget to be angry and then I look at reddit-logo and I remember that there are evil evil people out there

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

I was gonna visit the link out of curiosity, but thanks for reminding me why I stopped using that crapsite

[-] SexMachineStalin@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I keep getting my accounts permbanned on reddit-logo since that one time I sent a death threat to a SAZF supporter on 7 October on worldnews, lol

Though on occasion I do stop by to see if anymore hamas-red-triangle fire compilations are uploaded

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 37 points 5 months ago

Redditors are barely human, that is the only opinion I share with /pol/

[-] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 36 points 5 months ago

they're using human shields so we're actually going to need even more weaponry to break that down

[-] abuttandahalf@lemmy.ml 36 points 5 months ago

The thing is that Hamas does not fucking use people as human shields. That's what the "even if they did" argument misses. It's not fucking true. It's genocidal propaganda and it's a fabrication.

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 5 months ago

Citations needed did an excellent breakdown on the human shield trope. Highly recommended

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

Yes that was a really good episode. The interviews were solid

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 35 points 5 months ago

So does reddit-logo turn off upvotes on Israel/Palestine threads? I've been seeing this a lot lately

[-] davel@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

I dunno but something‘s hinky: “[score hidden]” seems to be specific to this post and not to r/pics in general.

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

I just see 1 upvote for every post - I've been seeing that a lot lately.

[-] whatup@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago

Are German parades always this…graphic? I’m assuming the primary audience is families with children. Not sure about everyone else, but seeing giant puppets committing heinous war crimes would’ve traumatized me when I was a kid.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Cw homophobia

One of the other floats was apparently the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church blowing Putin so... I guess?

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago
[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

They never were.

Could you imagine how mad they'd be if a Russian parade float depicted Merkel sucking off Obama?

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago

I suppose it's equal-opportunity racist and anti-Semitic.

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

:pain: made it like 3 comments in

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

I hope teutonic factories continue to shut down and nord stream never reopens

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

the ~~goggles~~ human shields, they do nothing

imagine spending so much time on this shit-post of a craft project, and never thinking for a second about who is pulling the trigger for that tank cannon, ya know killing civilians, there is no alternative etc

[-] ICEMAN@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

You know on the movies where the villan has captured the love intrests holding a gun to their head in the final showdown and the hero just throws a bomb into the room killing both of them? Whats up with that?

[-] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

Bit idea: make reddit “experts” on politics/history play Russian roulette but they’re in a slaughterhouse and the pistol is fully loaded

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 5 months ago

Russian roulette but with a grenade launcher revolver

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

At this point, why give em the gun? Just use a firing squad...

[-] TheDialectic@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

When we need them most cumtown had abandoned us

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
