The video:
Israeli strike near Gaza camp in Deir Al-Balah kills one person
Terrorists. Just using half-million dollar bombs instead of suicide vests.
So more cowardly
where are those videos of Israel governments saying that iran is targeting civilians and the world must join together to fight terrorism?
Israel needs flattening.
There's a lot of innocent people in Israel that are fighting against the current regime, just like in your country. Don't damn them just because you're angry.
most Israelis (81%) say the military has a very or somewhat good influence on the way things are going in Israel https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/06/20/how-israelis-view-their-government-institutions-and-leaders/
73% of Israeli Jews think that suffering of the Iranian civilian population is not important in Iran War https://en.idi.org.il/articles/59726
Support for Netanyahu's party has gone up since 2023 and support for the opposition has gone down.
There comes a time when you have to admit that the apple is too rotten to be saved. Nothing will change anytime soon; if anything it will only get worse.
Its obviously hyperbole. Completely carpet bombing the population isnt a step I would want to take.
But also, lets not downplay thousands and thousands of innocents that have been killed by Israel already.
Killing more innocents doesn't solve the problem, AND is the same as your chief complaint.
Don't do that.
You could carpet bomb the settlements in the west bank for sure though.
The state, as an American ally, conducting genocide in the region needs to "dissapear." The people, cannot dissapear.
its a ridiculously tiny minority. And leaving Israel in that region means letting them continue their war crimes, and you know that. There is really no way around it. The only ethical solution is to eject them from the region entirely. The 8 year bloodbath needs to end.
We can't be opposed to the Gazan genocide and at the same time use genocidal language like "ejecting them from the region." Them being Jewish people. Yes Israel should be sanctioned, and militarily invaded. Benjamin Netenyahu should be assassinated, and the country needs to be rid of the Zionist ideology. But there is simply no way to mass migrate a large population without great pain and suffering.
Plus, if the Israeli people, the citizens not the elitist leaders and soldiers, were moved from their country, where would they go? To cause more violence in the regions they move to? The Israeli people have been subject to large scale mass international propaganda, they need to be deradicilized, not treated like parasites.
I agree with having a firm, radical opposition to genocide, but individually, morally it is not good to use words like "flatten" or "eject." I understand the anger, I think we all feel it.
israelis are definitely not a people that are going to get better over time. Watch any interview with israelis talking about committing war crimes. They are always smiling. They absolutely love killing, and they dont care at all who it was. The only thing that will work is flattening them. Its their inevitable future and nothing can stop that now.
If any other country did this they'd be isolated and cut off.
Yeah but if Israel does anything bad you're not allowed to criticise it because then that's anti-semitism. They can practically do anything, including murder and no one (in government) bats an eye.
Edit: Since people have a problem with this comment, the image is a still frame from a video of the bombimg. Awful.
There are links in the replies, which were not present when I made this comment (it was the first comment on this post).
Original comment
What's going on is atrocious, but do we have any evidence whatsoever this isn't just five minutes in photoshop? It's not hard to put a bomb silhouette in the sky and blur it a bit.
The timing of this image, the fact that the photographer got the image out, and as far as I'm aware there's not a follow up with the aftermath just tweaks my bullshit sense is all.
The guy with one leg center bottom...doesn't even flinch. He's been through so much...
People dont rush to the scene to help anymore either, because evil vermin Israelis like to double-tap strike to kill first responders.
It's a still frame from a video.
Israel has forfeited their right to exist. Withdraw all Western aid, let the Arab nations do as they fucking please. Annihilate this hateful little nation of religious fruitcakes. I no longer care what happens to every last man, woman, child and pig.
Source?
Not sure if this is the original source, but it has some more details
Indonesia and Guatemala beg to differ. This is not the first genocide the west has supported.
