Come on valiant Israel defenders? Where’s your comments now?
Fucking disgusting, I genuinely hate Israel 100% these days.
But but but Hamas had set up a base in his chest! Israel had to stop that terror cell before they had to bomb that Hamas-pital!!1!
There's no hiding behind the age-old "you're being anti-semitic!" response anymore. When the warcrimes are on the nightly news for all to see, it's hard to argue against.

This is severely disturbing and dystopian, I can not believe we are just letting all this happen, the same as with Ukraine.
Earlier I was talking with my partner about these things from my safe home, far removed from these situations, and we realized this must be how the original nazis happened. It had puzzled us both, and many we had talked with in the past, how it was even possible to come to be.
I guess now we know. This is how it comes to be.
Feels so powerless and diminishing, but at the same time very human. Can’t realistically do more than vote locally when we can, but that’s not going to help anyone right now, or realistically even in the short term of a few years…
It’s so heart-breaking, and it’s bizarre because we probably don’t even know a fraction of all of it…
When you read about the Holocaust and the Nazis, you like to imagine you'd be the good guy. You'd fight the Nazis, you'd free the concentration camps. But apparently I wouldn't. Apparently I would have just sat there paralyzed, incapable of doing anything about the genocide I see every day. Unable to think of any way to help. All I can do is retweet and protest and write a stupid blog post. I feel so stupid.
Paul wrote this over three months ago, and nothing has substantially changed. I’m sickened by the news and images I see, but shaken to the core that people are okay with this. That there’s people, far farrrr away from the looming specter of state violence or non-state terrorism, who are cheering for more death and destruction
This, this is our thoughts exactly. Very well put from them. It’s so depressing, though understandable in a way. Makes you sad and angry towards yourself too, however warranted or unwarranted that may be ultimately.
At first I thought I was going insane. Watching the body count climb day by day, then an airstrike of a refugee camp kills 300-odd civilians, and you think “Big media outlets are running this story, it’s not being buried, this must be it, people will say something publicly”
We like to think we’re better than Weimar Germans, but we’re not. It’s a big state that casts a large shadow over ‘acceptable’ discussions, and a lot of people are scared to say something.
Imagine if what was happening in Gaza was actually happening in Ukraine or any other country, in Europe. Believe me the outcry and the response would have been completely different, but nope, the US and most of the West are still sending weapons to Israel to continue their slaughter.
This is the part that hits so hard. I always thought that if I had lived during the holocaust, I would've done something. But, here I am, during another genocide, and I feel so utterly powerless and my county is helping it along. It sucks.
If you're an American worker, organize a strike
I’m not, and we already have ongoing country-wide strikes and other worker rights fighting measures in my country going on, although not for these reasons, so that’s not really an option either, media already saturated on these actions.
But a good recommendation nevertheless, thank you.
An excellent book to check out is They Thought They Were Free, it’s basically interviews with Germans right after WW2 about the rise of nazism.
Most moral army in the world telling people to evacuate, then directly demonstrate that they will shoot and kill people that evacuate.
They "warn" Palestinians where to go, and then kill them when they go there. And then you have to listen to Israelis online telling you how moral their warnings are.
Video of Palestinians that want to leave but are scared to get killed by the IDF
IDF started bombing the hospital
Video directly after al nassr bombing
Video of Al Nasr patient ward after bombing
IDF taking scary Hamasurgeons captive:
UPDATE (rumors unverified):
-
The IDF claimed their reason for invading the hospital (and bombing the patient ward and sniping surgeons during operations?) was that there were "corpses of hostages inside the morgue".
-
So far no evidence of hostage corpses has been found.
Additional testimonies from a doctor inside the hospital:
-
1 Patient got killed and (6-8?) were injured when the patient ward was bombed
-
3 Palestinians got shot while evacuating
-
Quadcopter with gun was used to shoot at the hospital
It's the first time I'm ashamed of my country and I hate my government and the press in my country for supporting this genocide. And the Israelis speak openly about their genocidal intentions.
The ICJ ruled that there is plausible risk of genocide and ordered to stop killing palestinians and give humanitarian aid. Instead Israel puts out accusations without evidence and the western "civilized" countries cut off humanitarian aid. It's aiding in genocide. They are making my country complicit in genocide.
The atrocities started long before Okt.7 and I just don't care about it, they have killed 30 times as many civilians at least now. And they mutilated and traumatized many times more than that. There is no justification. Especially not if you're the vastly more powerful side.
Picture of the human shield used by israel before he was killed by israel:
Small video on it here https://twitter.com/MiddleEastEye/status/1757642664260886662
Fuck. Israel.
When I saw this pop up yesterday, I was really hoping this was fake/a constructed narrative based around physical facts on the ground in an information restricted war zone
I keep finding myself going “no fucking way that’s true, that has to be anti-Semitic propaganda” at stories like this, and more often than not I am proven wrong - yes it’s real, yet the truth doesn’t matter
Israel has been doing this heinos shit for DECADES. it's just that Western media has finally decided they cant whitewash it all anymore. They do where they can, but with everyone in Gaza filming what they can, there is just no hiding the barbarity of the IDF.
That sounds an awful lot like the Israeli soldiers used him as a human shield to deliver the terrorist message to the hospital.
A two state solution is the only solution and right now I think Israel needs to pay to rebuild everything they destroyed and give back all the cultural treasures, art, and literature they took during the nakba so they could erase the history of the Palestinian people.

Fuck Israel.
Fuck zionists.
Alright. Time for God to come back and declare Israel the new Sodom and Gomorrah and do his thing.
History writing itself in HD for all future to witness. Isreal is fucked. Maybe not today, but....
That's what the good guys do!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A crowd gathered around, according to Mohammed El Helou, one of the only remaining Palestinian journalists in the hospital, and the young handcuffed man said that the Israeli military had sent him with a message.
When El Helou woke up on Tuesday, news had already begun to spread in the Nasser Medical Complex that the Israeli military issued an order to evacuate the facility.
The military had ordered an evacuation of Khan Younis in January as its ground offensive moved further south, but many people, including medical staff and patients, were unable to leave the hospital.
He had been at the hospital earlier, but the Israeli military had subsequently seized and detained him, and put his hands in what appears to be black, plastic zip-tie cuffs.
On Tuesday morning, Salama, the journalist, posted a video to Instagram showing the dead body of what appeared to be a child or teenager outside the hospital.
A few hours earlier, El Helou had been live on Instagram, wondering what would happen when people leave in search of safety that does not exist in Gaza.
The original article contains 1,112 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 84%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
