Calling the Israel govt "genocidal" is not fair or accurate. Israel has had military superiority over Gaza every day since it was captured in 1967. If they were genocidal, they could've slaughtered all the people in Gaza at any time. Instead, the population of Gaza has doubled since 1967. If you want to know what a real genocidal regime looks like, imagine the situation were reversed and Hamas had overwhelming military superiority over Israel. Imagine Hamas had tanks, F-16s, F-35s, and Apache helicopters. What would happen? The genocide would start immediately. Hamas would be slaughtering civilians en masse. No restraint. No negotiations. True Genocide.
Before you ask, I'm not Jewish and I'm not defending Israeli atrocities. I just think this is an extremely simplistic and unfair characterization of Israel.
Don't forget the forced evictions, but this is worse don't get me wrong
Shame there isn't a clear good guy in this conflict, since Hamas is the same or even worse, and they feed off from getting Israel to retaliate as they have all the while obtaining support from too many on the Palestinian side. Palestinians aren't just getting screwed by King Bibi, they are getting screwed by a terrorist organization that needs them to be a victim and continue being a victim, because those in power in Hamas only really care about themselves and the external influences that buy and maintain their palaces to keep the conflict going and divided into two sides.
Am I the only one suspicious about the timing of this attack? Right on the time Netanyahu is under extreme pressure at home a major war comes out of his ass.
Can't help but notice everybody loses with this war, except him. He's the only one that takes advantage of this situation. Not Israel, not Hamas and sure as hell not the Palestinians.
There's a stench here. Something is not right.
I've been awake too long, but isn't murdering infidels and blowing up thousands of years of culture so you can seize a land promised to you by an invisible omnipotent being that only important powerful people can talk to kind of like the Crusades?
I could be wrong. I'm an illiterate pagan. I find religious expression hugging trees and doing a number of other activities in the nude.

It's sad that it has to be pointed out again, and again, AND AGAIN, the difference between the choices and actions of the leaders of a regime in a specific country and the entirety of a very large group of people spread over the world who share a specific religion.
I mean, the belief that "some of these people are like this hence all these people are like this" is the core building block of racism (and all the other "-isms") so Thinking People shouldn't need to, in this specific case, to be reminded of the difference between a country that claims itself to represent a religion (which is quite the Putinneske lie) and "every single person that believes in a specific religion", but sadly there are way too many unthinking parrots around.
Yesterday I thought this was a fair but controversial message to post after the massacre, but then today the deathtoll more than doubled and Israel is demolishing massive buildings. I feel like maybe they've skipped a few steps in their crusade for "retribution." It's not controversial at all anymore, that escalated fucking quickly.
Curious the take now that Hamas and Israel are in a legit war with hamas firing thousands of rockets, invading from all fronts (air, land and sea) and taking hostages as young as children. Israel has already promised that the Gaza strip will never be the same again.
- One side wants to keep living and make more homes. And would defend themselves whatever it takes.
- Another side wants to commit genocide and thinks the other side is the scum of the earth, to do the cleansing they are ready to do whatever it takes, including but not limited to tying bombs around children and sending them to the other side, and complain about the other side killing their children.
Edit: to clarify, Israel is not doing any suicide attacks or sending innocent children to do so, it's the other side. Whatever it's called, Hamas/Palestinian Authorities or whatever, most of the people defend either whenever it suits them.
This image was reported as anti-semitic by the ADL, and the artist lost their job for insisting that war crimes are bad.
haven't they determined that most Israeli Jewish folk are genetically just european? like one of their ancestors chose to convert
What the fuck is this shit
The Palestinian people were screwed over when the Arab nations invaded Israel and lost badly. They need to make restitution by making Palestinians citizens.
Is this where Pam from the Office shows up to talk about pictures?
Let's screw the world from..
... as far east China. ... as far west as Polynesia. .. as far north as the Canada. ... as far south as the Peru.
Europe everyone. A round of applause.
Joke is about as shitty as this meme.
Cool it with the antisemitism pal
We can all agree it's time to wipe Iran off the map and ANYONE AND EVERYONE who supports them in anyway shape or form.
Great, lemmy supporting terrorists, what else is new
i like the overall "cartoon" like theme, as if we were watching Bluey, or your mothers sex tapes, ayyy yo 3 pointer from the back 9, miss me with that shuttle-cock...but fr, stop killing palestinians. you were both displaced peoples forced to coexist together by nations who raped you so your solution is to fight each other? b r a v o. Imagine how much stronger you'd be if palestine was a brother in arms and not an open air prison.
Wait, the Western world now supports the murder of Jews? What a time to be alive.
Lol those genocidal regime is made up with what?
Dumroll?
Chinese? Africans? Indonesians?
Jews!
What if I told you that Israel was part of a Nazi experiment to solve the problem of "stateless Jews," who were thought to undermine the authority and good order promoted by government. Turns out, all you have to do to turn a Jew into a Nazi is to give him a plot of land and tell him that it's his inheritance from God.
