Slavery and a large prison camp where people are starving?
Hey, don’t forget at Al-Aqsa they were digging mass graves while IDF snipers were aiming at them.
Let’s see… Digging mass graves at gunpoint…
Israel is beyond irredeemable at this point. We need mass protests against our governments who are supporting them.
And where are all those proud Israeli supporting cowards who come out to tell us how evil Hamas is every thread that isn’t showing Israels war crimes?
I think this soldier should be given a lengthy prison sentence.
They will be given a promotion
Might even be PM one day.
Historically, several Israeli PMs have been involved in or associated with groups that committed massacres on civilians in that country's various conflicts.
Let's be clear, their government is irredeemable. I'm sure their people don't all agree with this. I know Jewish people here who are otherwise Zionists and are disgusted af at Israel's genocidal rampage.
Jewish people and Zionists are two entirely different things. Many Jews protest against Zionism
(Checks dictionary) Zionism is simply supporting the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel. Technically anyone who supports Israel's existence at all, is a Zionist. I was actually meaning to say those who support crushing Hamas, even all of them that I know find Israel's actions heinous to the point of kicking Netanyahu out of office. The internet Zionists are far more virulent than what I see IRL. I don't know any Jewish people who want Israel to disappear as a nation, which would be the dictionary antonym to Zionism.
American Jews against Zionism have blocked highways to protest against israel.
"Not in our name" was one of the first groups to stand up against israel three months ago
I don't really know any Jewish person who doesn't sympathize with this, even if where I live is way too far from LA or NYC. I honestly don't know where these people are who support what's happening to the Palestinians. Maybe we live in a bubble?

They really like smelling their own farts don’t they
I have ripped the audio from the video and threw it through an online translator. The video translations look very accurate.

What the fuck
The Israelis did not listen to Biden at all did they..
Oh they heard him loud and clear
So, in this moment, we must be crystal clear: We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.
They heard him when he provided weapons and when he vetoed UN resolutions for a humanitarian pause.
If Biden wants to say otherwise he needs to do so with actions, not empty warnings of losing public support because the global public cannot stop the US governments defense of Israel, only he can.
And he won't because he's 100% onboard with this, which is both disappointing and unsurprising. The only way we get better policy is to elect better candidates.
A ceasefire would be a good thing, but it's not a permanent solution. Remember, thousands of civilians have died since the last ceasefire. It will take an international coalition to stand between Gaza and Israel with a viable strategy for a Palestinian state to form. Biden has a terrible history with his unconditional support of Israel, but he's been trying to get Bibi to cooperate with a 2 state solution. Netanyahu is more interested in genociding Palestinians.
Biden said the US supports israel, the US won't support an extended war, and the US is focusing on a two-state solution.
These are top level diplomatic declarations to the state of israel and netanyahu specifically, theyhave no bearing on soldiers thousands of miles away not under his command who choose to act inhumanely.
Everyone in the israeli government who directs this soldier speaking in the video has made it very clear they don't view Israelis as people, and those is really leaders, not Biden, are the ones influencing and in charge of thus soldier.
That's absolutely disgusting
most moral army in the world, y'all. children of light.
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.
