Israel has killed about 10 Palestinians for every Israeli killed, and about half of the Palestinians killed are children. Imagine if somebody said, "For every one of us you kill, we will kill five of your children."

"We're the good guys, murdering children is self-defense!"

I am reminded of Babylon 5.

As an act of simple survival, the Narn Regime agreed to an unconditional surrender to the Centauri on December 10th, who then re-occupied the Narn homeworld with military forces and enslaved the Narn people once again. Ambassador Mollari returns to Babylon 5 to announce the terms of the surrender:

The ruling body of the Narn Regime, the Kha'Ri was to be disbanded and its members subject to arrest and prosecution for war crimes against the Centauri. An Earth Alliance request to send observers to these proceedings is denied.

To "prevent further acts of terror," the Centauri impose an edict that the penalty for the murder of any Centauri by any Narn will result in the execution of 500 Narns, including the perpetrator's entire family.

Narn and all its colonies are to become protectorates of the Centauri Republic, and as such the Republic will create a ruling government over the Narn worlds.

I know Sci-Fi is a look at modern times with a different coat of paint, but god damn.

The ratio for children is much much higher. It used to be around 1:30.

Israel makes it harder every day to say "well both sides are doing bad things". And the both sides argument was already feeling pretty lacking to begin with

Ya all I'm seeing is Hamas did a bad thing over a month ago and now Israel does a bad thing every fucking day with no end in sight.

[-] BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tf 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget, they did that bad thing in response to decades of bad being done to them. Just this year before the attack, more than 1 Palestinian per day was killed by Israel.

A week ago Avi Dichter, a member of the Israeli security cabinet member and agriculture minister, said in a television interview: “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba.” Netanyahu, warned cabinet ministers the next day to choose their words carefully.

Oops, did they accidentally say the quiet part out loud?

It's ok to blame Israel for stuff Israel does.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 32 points 1 year ago

It's also okay to blame America for stuff it unquestioningly funds.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Underlining the reminder that there is nowhere safe for Gaza’s civilians, an airstrike outside the southern town of Khan Younis killed at least 26 people in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Last week, for the first time the Israeli military urged people to leave areas in the south, around Khan Younis town, where residents include many recently displaced from the north.

A column of medics, patients and refugees trudged out of al-Shifa hospital, the biggest in Gaza, where Israeli troops spent a fourth day searching for evidence of an underground Hamas command node.

Shelters are crammed, food and water supplies are so low the UN has warned that Palestinians face the “immediate possibility” of starvation, infectious diseases are spreading, and the war there is expected to intensify in coming days.

Early on Saturday morning, bombs hit a multi-storey block in Hamad City, a middle-class housing development in Khan Younis, killing 26 people and injuring 23 more.

Aid agencies say they are unable to provide food, water and medical care to people there because of shortages of fuel, communications problems and blocks on letting humanitarian supplies into Gaza.


The original article contains 1,172 words, the summary contains 188 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
