Save for a very brief period of time, I was always anti-Israel, but I simply was unaware of just HOW fucked up Israel was due to a variety of factors.

It's ok, just think of all the 4 year old hamas terrorists they killed!

But but but, October 7th was unjustifiable, so surely it justifies this! These two things are absolutely, for sure, 100% the same thing! /S

The talkie-talkie of the US government not matching their walkie-walkie.

What! A! Shocker!

Can a genocide like that be consider war? Not that the statement is wrong.

The kids surviving this, will have all the right to make hell rain upon these monsters.

Sorry, this "only defending ourselves" farce is absurd and we, the so called "civilized world", had an obligation to stop this a long time ago.

Anti-Fucking-Israel is no Anti-Semitism!

I'm sorry but your point is anchored on an old Propaganda myth of Israel.

Israel's lack of safety comes from them having stolen Palestinian land and continuing to steal Palestinian land, for decades.

If safety was their prime objective, they could stop stealing Palestinian land, give back at least some Palestinian land and compensate the victims for the rest (I am assuming here that Israel would keep some of the originally stolen land to continue to exist as a nation).

They have chosen not to do that and instead they have chosen to use force against Palestinians to stop their just rage at having their land stolen and have chosen to Genocide Palestinians to finally take away the rest of their land.

Safety is not the primary reason for the actions of Israel. Safety is an excuse and at best a second or third order reason derived from their real primary reason:

• Israel did this (as they did most of what they did to Palestinians for 7 decades) because they want to steal all the Palestinian land.

They did it because they want to genocide Palestine - this only creates a bunch of people with justifiable hatred of Israel and nothing to lose.

If they wanted to be safer, they wouldn't have funded Hamas' displacement of the secular moderates, gleefully committed and publicised thousands of warcrimes, established an ethnostate, conducted decades of land grabs, or scream maniacally about a second, bigger Amalek.

No, the didn't do this because "they think it will make them safer" they knew exactly what they doing and that's why there is a genocide case against them.

The before and after sliders are the saddest thing I've seen in a while.

~~It shows, the weapons they used really flatted the area, there's no chance of surviving this, if you were hiding somewhere within.~~

Edit: Ok, the layer of sand/soil over everything makes the whole seem much flatter than it is. When you zoom in, you can notice some buildings almost invisible but still standing. When zoomed out a little, they're gone. But even so...

That's insane.

It should however be noted that the new image is taken at a different angle and likely time of day. So the destruction looks exaggerated. If you look closely you can find several buildings that look destroyed at first glance, are actually intact but just hard to spot.

This is just them being good neighbors! That house was totally unsuitable for living and would have hurt any Gazans trying to live there!
