Israeli troops gun down thousands of Palestinians awaiting aid in north Gaza
Tel Aviv has stepped up indiscriminate attacks against displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza due to the army's failure to 'dismantle' Hamas
Fascism is fucking horrifying. Fuck the IDF and fuck Netanyahu.
And fuck Biden and the American project. Israel would be nothing without them.
WTF?! What's in the mind of those IDF soldiers? "oh look, thousands of hamas troops conveniently standing around in open space waiting to be shot"?
They don't really believe they're shooting at Hamas. They believe they're shooting at subhuman animals. This is the genocidal mindset.
There's a Twitter link here from the IDF. The comments show exactly what they are thinking "these are ants, look how funny it is that we killed 100 of them".
Literally people cheering for a military shooting at starving people. Christ this is what Nazis look like.
How long before Israel starts ironically selling arab skinned lamps?
They know what they are doing. They want the land, but first they need to kill all of the people living there.
This is not coincidence. This is policy.
Well alright, but i still wouldn't shoot a vunch of animals hanging out.
No they are thinking, "these none humans are in the way. Preventing me from owning beach front property. So killing them like vermin is the nice thing to do."
Slightly misleading title: Preliminary estimates range from 80-200 dead, uncounted hundreds wounded.
Fuck israel.
I'm assuming they counted the people wounded.
The latest count on Al-Jazeera was 109 with over 800 wounded, and reports of 40 bodies bulldozed away that no one can reach. They did shoot at a crowd of thousands.
No. Many are still unaccounted for.
No. The article says the number wounded is likely in the hundreds. The headline is exaggerating a tragic event.
Ok. Why lie? Those numbers are fucked enough. Now I feel mislead
They're shooting to kill. If they hit someone, that person has been gunned down whether they die immediately or after bleeding out. They're shooting at a crowd of thousands, and 800 are dead or dying as a result, according to Al Jazeera. So maybe we need to wait a few more hours before the 1000+ number can be confirmed, but it's already obvious Israel was aiming for 'thousands'.
Also is this the same event?
In any normal universe, thousands of innocent people being massacred on a single day would be bigger than 9/11. Yet aside from this post on lemmy, I've heard nothing of it. WTF is going on!?
don't you know? they're brown, so it clearly doesn't matter
It doesn't strategically affect the 3 major powers. And also you probably need to tweak your news sources if none of them are telling you about this.
Those that care are powerless.
Remember like a couple of weeks back, when the UN said that Israel had shot at their aid convoy from the sea.
Or the Israelis sitting at the border crossing preventing humanitarian aid being delivered and Israel doing very little about it. All because the suffering of 100 is more important than the suffering of millions. What kind of twisted moral one should have to believe this.
Or Israelian authorities (COGAT) withholding tent poles and delivering the so needed tents without poles, because you know tent poles are very deadly weapons.
And Israel can alleviate the suffering of all Palestinians if they want, just that they don't want, they want for Palestinians to suffer to learn their place. They are acting as a bully while screaming I am the victim in front of the rest of the world.
"Are we the baddies?"
“Are we the what??? I can’t hear you over the sound of me shooting into a crowd of innocent children with an assault rifle, you are going to have to hold on a sec until I finish then tell me”
If it were just an "Assault Rife," like an M16 or Uzi or something, then the casualties wouldn't be nearly as high. But according to the article it was a heavy machine gun, like one of these:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M240_machine_gun
Which is something that is only depicted in Hollywood films when they want to really drive home the war-crime "bad guy" aspect by having the Nazi's fire into a crowd.
"How to radicalize an entire nation in 4 months."
Oh boy, I wonder what lie they'll go for to justify this one.
At Twitter they're saying that stempade is caused by Hamas trying to steal the aid.
We invaded Iraq for nothing, but jerk off while this happens
jerk off while this happens
Not really. "Israel" is only able to do this because it has the full support of the US empire. They know they can get away with anything so long as the most war-mongering nation on the planet is with them.
If the US cut them off they would just turn to Russia. Putin and Netanyaho are like Putin and Trump. Russia would jump at the chance to broaden their foothold in the Middle East, and it would go perfectly with their narrative of fighting "Nazis" in Ukraine, and it would give the US a black eye.
The US should be doing far more to distance itself from what Israel is doing, but the only way it can actually stop it would be a committed invasion.
Aaahh this must be the famous Israeli security control.
This is what happens when humanitarian aid is denied for weeks. When food becomes not only scarce but literally gone, there is no order, there is no line, it's every person for themselves. Just looking at some of the replies to that X post reminds me:
This source is heavily biased against Israel. I wouldn't trust them for news regarding this conflict.
While it demonstrated a clear opposition to Israel and the West, The Cradle did not appear to weigh in on other topics relevant to right-left U.S. politics. Site searches for "liberal," "conservative," "right-wing," and "left-wing" yielded few results.
However, The Cradle frequently cast "far-right" Israeli politicians in a negative light. While the reviewer noted that this was likely due more to the region's specific politics than any alignment with U.S. partisan polarization, The Cradle's clear anti-Israel stance made it difficult to justify a Center rating.
The reviewer noted a general trend of coverage sympathetic to Arab Muslims and suspicious of Israel and the West. This could be seen in The Cradle's extensive coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict, which often highlighted faults by Israel. Notable headlines included "Israeli police unable to verify 'Hamas rape' stories," "Israel defender Alan Dershowitz named in Epstein court docs," "Michael Hudson: A roadmap to escape the west's stranglehold," and "'Unprecedented' surge in West Bank settlement activities." The Cradle also published interviews with representatives of militant groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Middle Eastern politicians like Iraqi ex-PM Adil Abdul-Mahdi.
Step 2: show that what they said was wrong.
Dudes drunk the koolaid. Probably not worth the effort to get him to think critically
I said it was from a biased source, not that it was wrong, but if you want to see an example of why it's bad compare the death count in the CNN report vs. this one. It's not "thousands" gunned down, even according to Hamas:
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said 104 were killed and more than 700 injured in the incident, one of the deadliest since the war in Gaza began.
It also includes IDF statements which paint a very different picture of events:
In an initial account, Israel said Gaza residents surrounded the aid trucks and looted the supplies. “During the incident, dozens of Gazans were injured as a result of pushing and trampling,” the Israel Defense Forces told CNN.
An Israeli military spokesperson later said in a briefing that there were two separate incidents involving aid trucks.
First, he says trucks went to the north and were swarmed by crowds, with trucks running over people. Subsequently, he says, a group of Palestinians approached Israeli forces, who then opened fire on the Palestinians.
“The truckloads went into the north, then there was the stampede, and then afterwards, there was the event against our forces. That’s how things transpired this morning,” the spokesman said.
I don't believe anything offhand from such a source, especially on matters regarding Israel, nor should you. Stick to credible organizations if you prefer objective reporting to emotionally charged propaganda.
They're biased against a genocidal fascist state? Say it isn't so!
I suspect this story from CNN is about the same incident: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/middleeast/gaza-city-deaths-food-israel-intl/index.html
Thanks!
"Israel" really wants to dethrone nazi Germany as the most openly genocidal fascist state huh.
No wonder zionists and nazis have a history of cooperating. Might as well be the same thing.
Excuse me, the US is still the king of genocide.
Brits and Spaniards didn't kill like 50 million people for you to give the crown to an upstart
They try to not be open about it though, at least to its own population, unlike "israel".
It's basically a US colony in Palestine though so ig it's a moot point.
Gonna throw a hat in the ring here for the British Empire as the king of genocide.
Iirc ghenkis khan has everyone else beat.
Hot take, but I think we got a dethronement.
Please, do tell, how is the USA the most genocidal country on this earth?
