Action: skirt congress rules to give Israel shells to continue bombing indiscriminately

Words: You need to change, you’re losing support.

Which is it? And can you guess which speaks louder.

do u really compare the most dense city in the world to... that?

or u try to make a point that so many buildings were destroyed yet so many arabs are alive thus Israel is doing a great job not harming the population?

[-] millie@beehaw.org 5 points 11 months ago

Is this a joke account?

[-] DdCno1@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

Gaza is not even remotely the densest city in the world. There are several cities in Israel alone that are denser.

Also, yeah, the death toll among civilians is a tiny fraction of that in these cities during WW2 despite similar levels of destruction, which does support the claim that Israel is actually warning people.

"Terrorists" as in "every male person over 18 + 40% women and children as collateral damage".

You’re so deep in. Wow. You can literally turn on the TV and see the bodies and burned out apartments stacking up on corporate media.

The tide is turning, Zionist. The world is starting to hate Israel.

[-] FaulerFuffi@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

The claim he called propaganda was that every male over 18 +40% of women are seen as, and killed as, terrorists by the Israeli army, not that there wouldn't be dead civilians. Nobody, literally nobody, claims the latter. Also YOU are funnily the one doing that by being anti-Israel? That, other than Hamas, is an actual country with civilians. Just stop the polarisation and dramatisation. One can be against wannabe autocrat Netanyahu, the war crimes the Israeli army is committing, and yet hope they kill every single Hamas member. Gaza has to be freed, from Hamas and Iran's snd Quatar's influence. Unlike those two countries Israel ACTUALLY has a proven track record of working with Palestinians on a civil and economic level and not like your crusader kings jihad DLC fantasy.

do you genuinely think that the actions of Israel are going to actually achieve the goal of killing every single Hamas member? what the Israeli government is doing is actively building support for radical action, because the position Israel is taking, the actions they're taking, are unreasonable and abhorrent. if your goal is to kill all the insurgents, you lose. because there is no practical way to do that without victimizing the population, killing innocent people, and driving the survivors of that terror campaign into insurgency themselves. we've seen this play out before, in so many places. Israel is doing nothing but ensuring the continuation of this conflict.

maybe there was a track record. there isn't one any more. the only record the people of Gaza care about is the death toll. how are they expected to trust a country so willing to deliver death, disease, and famine upon them? how are we, as people who care for the lives of our fellow human beings, expected to side with racists and murderers? Hamas is a blight, no doubt, but it is a response to decades of oppression and harm, harm that Israel is gleefully embracing, even as the world turns against them. the kind of dysfunction that makes a state do what Israel is doing is not worth preserving. the kind of ideology that could justify what is happening right now is not worth fighting for.

Very well put. It reminds me of the quote:

If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It's a country based on theater. It's a lunatic state - completely insane.

So you view all Gazans as terrorists, got it.

[-] FaulerFuffi@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

Your conclusion is wrong from what they say. Don't project and polarise. Killing civilians is horrible and must be stopped. But that's different from targeting them as terrorists. And you know that! How will this mess be ever solved if even on the most basic level are these stupid dramatisation and accusations?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Targeting terrorists with bombs while civilians are about makes you a terrorist as well. Bombs kill indiscriminately.

Especially if they turned Gaza into a concentration camp.

As Jews they really should know better.

If they were actually after terrorists, they would send in foot soldiers who can determine who is a terrorists and who is being used as human shield.

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Yes I know, it was a facetious comment because anyone still supporting Israel appears to be in a different reality than I, and I see no point in debating this issue.

[-] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 7 points 11 months ago

You made a typo. Let me fix it.

propoganda: israel doesn’t shell indiscriminately, they targets terrorists.
