I have to say, Israelis are pretty good at cutting down my empathy towards them.
And then they turn around and ask for funds/resources from the US.
No asking required, Biden promised 'unconditional support'. It's a blank cheque and they couldn't even write "not for genocide" on it.
It seems like they may be getting advice from Elon on how to piss off everyone.
And what happens if UNWRA does just that? Then they’ll be shamed and accused of working with a terrorist organization. It’s a no-win situation.
Ask Hamas... also, get within 6 blocks of Hamas, and we'll probably kill you. Given a little time, we'll probably kill you anyway.
Israel have the motivation and means to commit a genocide. Hamas terrorism was always going to be the pretext, it was just a question of when. Meanwhile, the civilians all get fucked - though not remotely equally.
Wow, that's cartoonishly evil. It's like they held an internal contest on the "Most horrible thing we could say in response".
Almost as evil as Hamas sitting on a huge amount of money in Quatar and lots of oil but instead of supporting the people in Gaza they prefer using them as human shields and letting them suffer without any support and try to pin the suffering on Israel for not letting them slaughter civilians without realiation...
Yeah, dick thing to say but Israel is literally saying to ask your apparent government to provide for their people from their own stock.
What else are they going to use it for, and is that more important than their citizens?
Israel is literally saying to ask your apparent government to provide for their people from their own stock.
Israel is also not allowing aid to Gaza. It's also Israel that created a Gaza that can't even provide electricity for itself. Not saying Hamas shouldn't use their stock for the sake of Gazans (if they have that much; this is still the IDF and they're not known for caring about the truth), but the reason Gaza is in this situation is still Israel.
I am not surprised at this response from Israel in the slightest. After all, they are no better than Hamas.
Both like to slaughter innocent civilians. shrugs
Most moral army my middle fucking nut. Fully happy to genocide all Palestinians because of the actions of terrorists funded by Israel
A Napoleonic era artillery barrages could flatten Gaza in a couple of weeks. They're clearly not attempting to genocide all Gazans. To believe that requirea the belief that the IDF is the most incompetent military force to ever walk the planet.
They're not attempting to kill them all, but 1.4 million people have been displaced. And they want them to flee northern Gaza, and historically land in these cases is not returned to Palestinians.
Not much left before they say out loud what they really think: everyone beyond the wall we built is in fact, hamas. Easier to bomb once put in the same bzg
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
