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?
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."
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.
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!?
Still a massacre, but did you actually read the article? It says thousands were shot at, not killed. How many people upvoting your comment pointing out a lack of information actually read the article presented to them?
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.
Flood Palestine with humanitarian aid, start delivering more than they need so the incentive to loot those delivery trucks is much lower.
Right now people are desperate. Just think what you would do if your family and your kids are starving. I know that I will do everything possible to try to provide for them. And now multiply this to hundreds of thousands and you will get the full picture.
Even if Israel didn't kill all those men with bullets, they are indirectly guilty that those people are so desperate. And here we don't talk about brown or white people, civilians or terrorist as I am sure that every human being in this situation will act similarly. We are talking about hungry and desperate people.
“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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Submiting biased sources on horrific events is way worse for any cause as people smell the bullshit and ascribe the entire thing to it, whereas if you submit a good source then people say "oh that's terrible".
