A video, discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza in late March, shows that the ambulances and fire truck that they were traveling in were clearly marked and had their emergency signal lights on when Israeli troops hit them with a barrage of gunfire.

    Israel shooting medics, throwing them in a mass grave and then lying about it? Better not talk about it, or we might be labelled as antisemites and/or terrorist supporters.

    the paramedic who filmed the video was later found with a bullet in his head in the mass grave. His name has not been disclosed yet because he has relatives living in Gaza concerned about Israeli retaliation

    “We killed your son, and it came to light, so now we’re going to kill you.”

    It’s truly hard to fathom the depth of evil in isreal right now. And we’re fucking funding it. We’re arming them, and paying them to continue. Meanwhile AIPAC continues to fund primaries against our politicians that speak out. The US is a fucking joke.

    I’d like to know how all of us watching Israel kill thousands of Palestinians - and we do nothing to stop it - is any different than the world watching Germany kill Jews, gypsies, Poles, scientists, etc in WW2?

    There. Is. No. Fucking. Difference.

    Awesome to have these two headlines right next to each other in my feed:

    Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On

    Senate Democrats overwhelmingly reject restricting US arms sales to Israel

    the US Senate has resoundingly voted in support of continuing the genocide in Gaza by rejecting two resolutions aimed at blocking some $9 billion in weapons to the Israeli government.

    Cory Booker, recently hailed in the corporate press for talking for 25 hours straight on the Senate floor—without blocking a vote on legislation or a Trump judicial nomination—voted against both resolutions.

    What I don’t get is that almost nothing is happening. They are systematically and blatantly committing the most atrocious warcrimes and there is no outcry by the nations. What they do in one day would be enough to denounce any weaker developing country. The west is showing once again that the international community is really all about control, capitalism and racism.

      How is it just blamed on “the west”. China, India and other “Eastern” countries are in the UN as well. Would you not have to say it just shows they care nothing about the international community and it is really about their control and power as well? The world is watching executions around the world, and people are just being censored to/from it by their governments. Israel’s biggest trading partner is China by far, almost twice the U.S. Not any huge press from them about stopping.

    On a similar article, a lot of people on reddit were saying that they could be terrorist on disguise, therefore is on to kill them (attempt to) ask, and that’s all good as per Geneva convention.

    My reply was deleted, my account banned and my will to stay on that platforms eliminated.

      Zionists bending over backwards rationalizing their war crimes as just anti-terrorist attacks while they are invading another country is the ultimate mental 4D chess.

      reddit is absolutely unusable.

      I got banned for similar behavior, but I still lurk there sometimes. Recently I read an upvoted comment along the lines of: “I would rather have the Nazi for government than live with these hamas supporters and wokists.”

      There are hundreds of other examples of how biased toward fascism this platform has become. From my understanding, many moderators of large subreddits (e.g., r/worldnews, r/mapporn, r/news, r/geopolitics) have been purged and replaced with state-affiliated actors like literal IOF soldiers.

        Don’t worry, you would have also been banned if you had depicted israelis suffering the same abuse at the hands of Palestinians. They REALLY don’t like to imagine that.

        A lot of fucked up things in all that, but them condoning killing civilians is apparently okay, but asking how Trump hasn’t been killed yet for trying to turn USA into a fascist dictatorship gets you banned.

        That’s what got me here.

    At first a crime, then doubling down on the crime and making it a massacre, then destroying evidence and lying to everyone about the circumstances…

    …I do wonder if there’s something else the IDF needs to accomplish, for some countries to reconsider their support to Israel.

    Of all countries on this earth, Israel is without doubt the nastiest, most cruel, least human, most bigoted, worst possible country of them all. The people who have chosen to move to Israel as outsiders are IMO just at responsible for any death of innocent children. Are you an American “Jew”? Well good for you. now fucking stay the fuck where you belong instead of terrorizing random families thousands of miles away under the excuse that you own their house or whatever fucking messed up crap you can come up with. if you’re a Jew, that’s a you problem. Doesn’t grant you any special rights. If you insist that it does, then we can’t ever be friends, and you will forever be avum of earth to me. Same goes for any religion or sect out there used as an excuse to behave like a monster.

      The crazy thing is that you’d think of all the people in the world, the Jews in Israel would understand the importance of compassion and giving other groups of people respect and dignity. As it turns out, the fastest way to make a Nazi is to have someone live through their atrocities.

        This is historically inaccurate. Zionism predates the holocaust by decades. It has always been a fascist ideology and zionists often collaborated with the nazis. The idea of a “pure” racist state is the common goal.

        Jews who understand all of this oppose zionism.

          To be fair, one should acknowledge the conditions in Europe under which Zionism was created. In a growing wave of antisemitism at the end of the 19th century, Dühring wrote in a 1881 pamphlet:

          He described the “Jewish question” as an expression of an irresolvable racial antagonism, and openly advocated for the “murder and extermination” of Jews as a solution to the Jewish question.

          Many scholars believe that Dühring’s invention of a modern-sounding antisemitism helped persuade Theodor Herzl that Zionism was the only answer.

          There was a growing fear that there could be no cultural assimilation and that Jews would continue to be persecuted, as they, in fact, were. Zionism was a proposed solution to that atmosphere of hate. It’s easy with the foresight of 150 years to label it as a flawed idea.

          This is not an excuse for modern day Israel’s actions, and obviously the conditions for Jews in Europe are better today (since we are just scapegoating Muslims nowadays instead), it’s just an understanding of how the fuck we got to this point.

        This right here! I have been astounded at this over and over. If there was ever a group that should be sensitive to the idea of genocide it should be the Israelis, but instead they have simply adopted the beliefs and behavior of their worst oppressors.

        And then when anyone dares to criticize them, they go right to playing the genocidal victim of the Nazis - who they are obviously emulating!

        Frankly, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for their enemies either. If they could manage to gather the same power as Israel, they would happily unleash it in return, and murder every single Israeli. BOTH sides are fully, unapologetically dedicated to the genocide of the other side. Neither is worthy of support.

        It’s incomprehensible.
