Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka's U.S. policy fellow, said: "This is among the worst footage I've seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal."

Assal Rad, an author with a Ph.D. in Middle East history, said: "Have we ever seen so many war crimes take place right before our eyes? Any country still providing weapons and aid to Israel is complicit in these crimes."

I sincerely wish news articles would stop linking to X posts, and instead just mirror the content, or something.

[-] 0x815@feddit.de 37 points 8 months ago

Yes, I don't understand why people keep using this platforn.

[-] wesker 14 points 8 months ago

It's probably an overhead or creative licensing thing. But it sucks. And if you're a day late to the article, it's a gamble that the video hasn't already been removed.

[-] Maeve@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

The same reason people keep using FB: it's a dumpster fire if toxic waste and they like it that way

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

Privacy Badger has replaced this X (Twitter) widget

[-] Mikufan@ani.social 6 points 8 months ago

And Twitter posts as sources is always very sketchy...

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

It's Al-Jazeera. Their logo is their in the video, and the Arabic is a newscaster talking.

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

The source is already gone so doesn't really matter now

Article said it’s a must see video, I went to the website and it linked to X.

Shame… I guess I won’t see it

[-] turkishdelight@lemmy.ml 70 points 8 months ago

Israel is comitting genocide

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 19 points 8 months ago

Gaza is also on the verge of famine now, if not already in the midst of it.

[-] sadreality@kbin.social 14 points 8 months ago

Everything is going according to the plan once you understand Israeli end goal.

This shit is happening on our watch and fake news is covering it up while half the country thinks Gaza residents deserve it.

Mirror for people that don't want to click the Twitter video in the article:

Fuck Israel.

[-] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 32 points 8 months ago

I could never understand why my dad hated Israel so much. Now it's my turn!

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 50 points 8 months ago

Just remember there are 4 groups involved, not 2. You've got the Palestinian people, and the Israeli people. You also have Hamas and the Zionist dominated Israeli government.

As far as I am concerned, 90% of the blame falls on the Zionists. They have constantly broken agreements and goaded the Palestinian people. This led to the rise of Hamas, it was the only group willing to really stand up to the Israeli government.

The Israeli Zionists are working hard to conflate issues with them with issues with Israel in general and antisemitism in general. Don't play into their hands on that.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Five groups: don't forget the British/UN, who fucked up the handling of Mandatory Palestine in the first place.

Frankly, I don't think partitioning the Jews and Muslims into separate states was ever going to work and the British should've forced them to deal with each other in a single secular state instead.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

British should have put Israel in Germany

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago

I still don’t understand this.

“We fucked so we are gonna give you someone else’s land”

[-] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Zionism predates the holocaust by several decades. The plan was always to colonize an area of the middle east. The founders of the ideology wished to do so to escape persecution in Europe, and determined that enacting violence on the native population of those regions was acceptable to achieve the end goal.

[-] boyi 5 points 8 months ago

who fucked up the handling of Mandatory Palestine in the first place.

The British didn't fuck up. It was done exactly as intended and designed by the Zionist movement to give the Israel the strategic leverage to occupy more and more land after the initial partitioning.

For sure. Nevertheless it is the state of Israel carrying out the dirty work, rather than a bunch of rogue Zionists doing it by themselves.

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Agreed. The state of Israel is thoroughly in the hands of the Zionist elements.

My point is that the options and views of the people aren't always well reflected in their government. A lot of countries have the same problem (US and UK, definitely!). It's human nature to band together, when attacked from the outside. Focusing attacks on the culpable entity helps a lot in correcting that.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

I mean your point is true in general but Israel just has that many genocidal maniacs. Just look how much support the war has, even though they want Natanyahu out.

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Much of that is the effect of propaganda. Once it becomes "us Vs them" a lot of logical thinking goes out the window. The first step to countering it is to stop feeding into it.

I'm not familiar enough with them to form a good opinion. Thanks for giving me a start.

[-] FaizalR@kbin.social 23 points 8 months ago

Real terrorist.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

But Benny Morris said the IDF air force signs off with 15 lawyers and super duper confirms all the targets. Surely israel apologists wouldn't lie!

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

everybody needs to see this

Yeah, I don’t

At this rate the entire world won’t be able to see this

Here all works fine. Again the T link

[-] Dreizehn@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

The brothers, Isaac and Ishmael, should end their stupid family blood feud. Make peace morons!

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 3 points 8 months ago

said one writer and analyst. "This is unreal."

I understand. I, too, have doubts. Have a nice day.
