Israel to World: "Suck It."

scott, tbf, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about and are engaging in deeply Islamophobic and racialised tropes right now

i wasn't raised tribally. my family weren't christians. we worshipped jazz. its ALL friggin' scary to me. don't get me wrong. doesn't matter what large cult it is.

doesn't excuse murder. mass murder. x-post

Who is doing that? I haven't condemned it. Doesn't mean I condone it. Similarly you haven't said anything about Gaza but I am sure you don't agree with putting two million dispossessed people in a concentration camp.

don't worry, i'm leaving. just checking the thread out. sorry i did. i don't hate anyone. or any group.

just saw on the news there will be a "complete siege" on gaza. sorry for everyone.

I am sorry too. Take care, Scott

likewise scott— sorry to get so aggro, am just frustrated.

otm re scary jazz tho

i was the under impression the person was from south america

If anything an even more worthless metric by which to judge a person's ethnicity and exposure to discrimination than "well he's british".

He love the British. Our PM is pledging more weapons rn. Can't wait to arm them even more.

Didn’t prevent him questioning if 700 civilians murdered belonged to where they lived, regardless of the exposure to discrimination it has not transformed into empathy.

Imagine if those people weren’t citizens of a state that enforces apartheid violence as a means of continuously justifying its own existence. Their deaths are on the hands of the very state to which they belong.

Cool another justification.

You sound like trigger happy israeli soldiers.

lol dude you're the one who brought up his background to try to score cheap points, if it doesn't matter you shouldn't have brought it up.

Maybe the family of a few of the murdered moved there in the year 1000, or something.

yes continue defending an antisemite who is doubling down on showing zero empathy to victims of a
terrorist attack.

Do you guys were also cheering the murders in the Bataclan? French teenagers had it coming!

would be cool if just once discussion of this situation didn’t turn into an ad hominem olympics

go start another thread where you can shout at each other please

people are dying, good lord

I'm Oglala. I'm pretty sure if me and a bunch of my family went and murdered a bunch of random white guys in south dakota because they 'were on land that they stole from us 100 years ago' I would not have a shit ton of people rallying for my defence. or maybe I would? maybe I should go do that then.

“Right to self determination” is a lofty phrase that tries to paper over a lot of nasty shit that it entails. Particularly when your right involves kicking people out of their homes.

“The hill has been transformed into something that most closely resembles the front row of a reality war theater. It offers a direct view of the densely populated Gaza Strip. People have dragged camping chairs and sofas to the top of the hill. Several sit with crackling bags of popcorn, while others smoke hookahs and talk cheerfully.”

When the bombs find their targets, Mr. Krak reported, "cheers break out on the hill, followed by a solid applause."

for context https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4605408,00.html

The conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Gaza militants, which ended on August 26, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and 73 people on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers.

By this I mean there is plenty of ammunition from both sides to use this kind of rhetoric to dismiss the needs to recognise the basic human rights of civilians.

The only focus worth addressing is the presiding systematic brutality enacted on a captive civilian population. There is literally no way to end this violence without ending this, regardless of how you judge the perpetrators of individual acts.

When the bombs find their targets, Mr. Krak reported, "cheers break out on the hill, followed by a solid applause."

Barbarism.

Sure sounds like a place to visit.

i've never heard jews preach that every muslim should die

Today I watched my colleague in Gaza be questioned by a Journalist about whether he condemns the killing of civilians, while he & his family took shelter from Israeli bombs after being forced to evacuate from their home. Truly unbelievable.

Have never liked or used Zionist in that sense and am uncomfortable with it as a pejorative tbh.

Palestine is voting for an exit from the EU:

The EU said it was immediately suspending part of its aid to Palestinians and putting its programmes under review, as EU foreign ministers are expected to meet tomorrow to determine what actions should be taken.

“As the biggest donor of the Palestinians, the European Commission is putting its full development portfolio under review, worth a total of €691m,” EU commissioner Oliver Varhelyi tweeted on Monday.

The announcement came after EU officials said no European Commission money went to Hamas-run projects and it has not had dialogue with Hamas since 2007. The EU considers Hamas a terror group.

Germany and Austria have also announced similar measures.

Hamas says it will begin executing hostages if Israel does not stop its bombardment of Gaza. The group is believed to have approximately 130 captured from its incursion into Israeli-held territory. pic.twitter.com/FaGZjqAdMi

The Rafah corridor is hit. So it may be Israeli policy to deprive 2.3 million people of food and water.

This is a war crime under Additional Protocol 1 of the Geneva Conventions. Israel is not party to it; the U.S. has signed but not ratified. Nearly every other state has. https://t.co/Vcd58FuVPp pic.twitter.com/NRfU6tHtaD

the EU is retracting the plan to suspend aid apparently

Abbas Kamel, the powerful head of Egyptian intelligence, warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 10 days before the attack, Ynet reports.

Kamel warned Israel that “something unusual, a terrible operation” was about to take place around Gaza.

Kamel was reportedly aghast at Netanyahu’s passivity upon hearing the report.

Egyptian sources tell Ynet that Netanyahu responded that IDF forces were focused on fighting terror in the West Bank, where deadly terror attacks against Israel were being carried out.

Netanyahu’s office calls the Ynet report “a lie.”

This is reported by an Israeli paper and getting a lot of play in Israel. I still would think it was incompetence and arrogance rather than malice, but fuck

On C4 news, Tzipi the pinhead (Israeli ambassador to UK) tried to argue that Israel was not breaking international law because they were not occupying Gaza.

Sadistic display of mass murder. https://t.co/poOPMpOgb4

Interesting on attitudes.

A sign of how much US popular and journalistic attitudes have changed. I did this exact chart at Vox during the 2014 war and got screamed at for weeks. David Frum accused me of agitating for murder of Jews. Ted Cruz condemned. Now it’s on the NYT HP without a blip. pic.twitter.com/4bK1sxj0de
