Oh man, every Palestinian had an ID number? Man those could have just been tattooed on every person to make sure Israel could keep track of them better.

No idea why Israel didn't think of that. Seems obvious to use in your fenced in area that everyone has to be carefully released from for either work or because they died.

And IBM can supply the tech like the last time

Intel is investing billions in Israel at the same time getting bailouts from the us government.

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I pray Intel implodes after the recent news that their CPUs have an oxidation issue.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Is it oxidation? I thought it was a voltage control issue, where they randomly sent too much power to components and burned them out. And over time, those burnt out components and errors would compound and your CPU would essentially get Alzheimer’s.

No, they could just use Amazon and Intel this time.

Wait, they already are...

every American has an ID number too... I get the comparison you're making but I don't think birth certificates are inherently dystopian. there's plenty of actual shit to be mad about, such as 14 pages of dead babies, without having to complain about mundane shit

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

LOL yeah I know. They actually are helpful for any developed country but seeing a document of a list of 34,000 dead humans from newborns to "old" that Palestine is trying to prove were real (because the number dead is way higher) by using the identification numbers and knowing how Israel uses their labor force and tracks them made me feel the parallels to a historical use, a little heavily.

I kinda figured they should just go all the way with it.

People will read this and not even blink with a sense of irony, we are that far deep into replay of history.

They had it coming! Should've picked a different place to be born.

[–] FierySpectre@lemmy.world 78 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being born there is the first step to becoming terrorist scum, they had it coming!

/s just in case if that wasn't obvious

[–] gon@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've never met a Palestinian but every Palestinian I've ever met has been a terrorist.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Palestinians will cry for the bombing, rape, and slaughter of their people, but they continue to harbor Hamas in the vast network of secret invisible tunnels that only a trained Israeli AI can detect.

Curious.

They had it coming! Should’ve picked a different place to be born.

They certainly should have! Poor kids. (I didn't miss your sarcasm, just adding to it)

Look what the older Palestinian kids have had to endure:

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This graphic is a year old! It’s actually seventeen years since that blockade now.

I wonder why some people there might think violence is the only thing their enemy would understand. Really a mystery.

I hate this world and almost everyone on it. Myself most of all. 100% powerless to stop any of this. I want off this hellworld.

Erm akshurally, did those newborn babies condem Hummus? ☝️🤓

Didn't think so, obviously they deserve it

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago (40 children)

Those children could've grown up to do some amazing things in many different industries (and no, terrorism is NOT one of them), but because they're unlucky enough to be born in Gaza, they have to deal with constant bombing, lack of food and water, damages in physical and mental health, and eventually death, before they even turn 18. Sometimes it's even abrupt and sudden.

Has Israel not yet learned how cruel this is? And THEY'RE the ones that get all the funding to do this. Oh, but if I say anything bad about Israel then I'm "antisemitic" MY ASS. You're killing literal children and I want the whole world to know about it.

That is more babies than the total amount of civilians killed by Hamas on October 7.

Well that’s fucking depressing

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (4 children)

But according to western military experts that are promoted by bibi himself, the IDF is the most moral army on earth and does more to mitigate civilian casualties than any army in history??????

I'm going to go retch in the bathroom for awhile.

I was trying to come up with some sick joke about the babies being antisemitic in the eyes of Israel, but I threw up a little bit every time I tried.

And I've got a dark sense of humor, so that's saying something. >.<

That's 710 babies under 1, it seems. The document wasn't linked in many of the articles talking about this but one article did mention it was on Gaza's MoH Telegram account, found it there. It's a pretty damn long list
