Bomb the manger on Christmas...
Is isreal really that oblivious to world opinion and how it might affect them? Seems that way...
They're not oblivious, they just don't care because they know there won't be any consequences. And those few who dare to say anything are "antisemite" for not supporting genocide.
They’re the narcissist grandma of international politics: hiding in plain sight, they can get away with anything and everyone else will make excuses for their bad behavior
nobody in the West dares to call Israel out on their bullshit
Realistically, who is going to interfere? US and Russia are tied up in Ukraine, China and EU want to stay out, Modi's India supports Israel. World opinion could get much worse and nothing would happen, Yemen being the only exception so far.
The US isn't tied up, they actively support Israel with money and weapons. They have a aircraft carrier group parked just outside Israel to send a clear message that no other country can intervene or the US will protect israel. Biden even calls himself a Zionist.
That's because Biden is an idiot
Modi actively supported Trump and Trump policies. Look past his image and see the Indian Trump
He only supports Israel because he hates Muslims.
Just a small correction: In the EU and the US we are happily supporting Israel.
I’m not happy about it
Our political leaders do support Israel by and large, but literally no one I know is happy about that
You can't claim the US is simultaneously not frayed by the Ukraine issue and "tied up in Ukraine" WHILE sending billions of weapons to Israel
Israel has US backing, they don't need anybody else
why should they care???
Dude if this doesn’t set off the fucking Christian’s, I don’t know what would.
Brown Christians don't count. Wish I was joking.
The Christians in Bethlehem already cancelled Christmas and put baby Jesus in a burial shroud as a protest...
They(the ones who liked crusades and auch) probably want Bethlehem taken back from the "heathens" and returned properly to "gods chosen people" or something.
Palestine doesn't have many Christians but imagine being one of them and having your family killed for Christmas.

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.
