"third day of shooting". At an AID POINT.

Even if you're being gracious and assuming day 1 was all just a wacky misunderstanding (it wasn't), day 2 and 3 are war crimes.

That poor boy who saw his mother shot dead queuing for aid had lost his brother in an earlier bombing.

I can totally understand why he would want revenge on these psychotic Zionist killers.

[–] GaetanLaberge@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

Any sane person would

Third day in a row, but fourth shooting this week. Israel first shot Palestinians at the aid point on 5/27, and then again the past three days.

I dont understand. I mean, payback, sure, you got yours. Now , people who were once almost wiped off the planet....now want to wipe another race off the planet.

You would think they would have sympathy for the women and children not even involved. Just trying to survive.

Fun fact: Zionist Jews by far look down on Holocaust victims and survivors, in a "this wouldn't have happened to me" kind of way. It's part of the Zionist narrative that diaspora Jews are weak and pathetic while Jews in Eretz Israel are strong. The people who founded Israel also by far had nothing to do with the Holocaust, either due to having arrived before WWII or being from the Middle East (half of Israeli Jews are of Middle Eastern descent). They like to use the Holocaust as a propaganda piece, but Israel's claim to being Holocaust survivors is flimsy at best.

Disproportionate response has been Israeli bread and butter for a few decades now.

Remember this one?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_demolition_of_Palestinian_property

"During the Second Intifada, the IDF adopted a policy of house demolition following a wave of suicide bombings. Israel justified the policy on the basis of deterrence against terrorism, and providing an incentive for families of potential suicide bombers to dissuade the bomber from attacking. Demolitions can also occur in the course of fighting. During Operation Defensive Shield, several IDF soldiers were killed early in the conflict while searching houses containing militants. In response, the IDF started employing a tactic of surrounding such houses, calling on the occupants (civilian and militant) to exit, and demolishing the house on top of the militants that do not surrender. This tactic, called nohal sir lachatz (Hebrew: נוהל סיר לחץ, lit. 'pressure pot'), is now used whenever feasible (i.e., non-multi rise building that is separated from other houses). In some heavy fighting incidents, especially in the 2002 Battle of Jenin and Operation Rainbow in Rafah 2004, heavily armored IDF Caterpillar D9 bulldozers were used to demolish houses to widen alleyways, uncover tunnels, or to secure locations for IDF troops. The result was an indiscriminate use of demolitions against civilian housing unconnected to terrorism that left 1,000 people homeless in the Rafah Refugee Camp.[11][33]

According to a report by Amnesty International in 1999, house demolitions are usually done without prior warning and the home's inhabitants are given little time to evacuate.[34] According to a 2004 Human Rights Watch report, many families in Rafah own a "cluster of homes". For example, the family may own a "small house from earlier days in the camp, often with nothing more than an asbestos roof". Later, sons will build homes nearby when they start their own families.[35]"

And those armored bulldozers sometimes destroyed humans along with the houses, such as the case of peace activist Rachel Corrie.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

AMERICAN peace activist at that!

The only response they shpuld do is the get the hell out of palestine

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Then the argument becomes "Well, where's Palestine?"

Roll back to the 1949 borders?

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 1 points 2 days ago

If we want a one state solution yes pre-49 and we know the size of mandate Palestine , if we want a two state solution it will be pre-67
