I don't understand how an entire country can be full of so much hate. Did they forget the holocaust? Are they deniers? Do they not have empathy? Is it societal? What a stain on humanity.
Progressive Politics
Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Its a stark reminder that when you treat people like shit, they become shit. And I've no idea what the world can do differently to not turn Palestinians into the same scum.
❌ thoughts and prayers
❌ never forget
❌ be best
whelp, we tried everything. scum it is!
Propaganda is a powerful drug
I also could not understand
This is how humans really are, when no consequences we turn into animals
I refuse to believe that. humans are some of the most social, compassionate, and empathetic animals to ever exist. this is tribalism taken to its extreme, promoted by propaganda and an insular culture. theres a reason these far right groups seek to dehumanize their "enemies", and it's because if people they see them as human they wont do shit like this. israel conditions its people to see others this way, intentionally. it isn't human nature left to its own devices at all.
That's awful but at this point does anyone really doubt that this is something the IDF would do? I assume they're posting this kind of video themselves and want people to see it, does something so disrespectful to the victims really need to be spread around further?

It's on israeli citizens to distance themselves from these feral creatures to avoid blanket hatred, that, on their behalf, would unevitably hurt jewish people worldwide. A healthy israeli would be ashamed of their guys doing that, and bombings, and land capture, and whatever else. But there are a lot of people even on Fediverse who can whatabout it out and go with their day.
Until I meet a healthy Israeli I'm gonna default to not being offended by statements like "Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth for their crimes."
I'm not an anti-Semite, but I sure as fucking shit am anti-israel now.

I agree
Imagine peeing on any corpse. I dont think I could pee at all if a corpse was even in the vaccinity.
Trump after he’s Ghaddafi’d? Sure. And that’s coming from someone who thinks public toilets are stressful.
They could charge admission and clear up this fucking national debt.
Look at Thatcher's grave, UK's first public gender neutral toilet
That and Jean Marie Le Pen

Would have been really funny if they had buried an ultranationalist French bigot in the UK 😄
I think it’s extremely telling that they buried him somewhere in the middle of nowhere and are not publicizing where it is.
Yeah, that grave would have been a popular urinal/dance floor combo otherwise 😁
Remind me again why it's wrong to call Israelis violent pigs?
Pigs are actually cool. Israeli soldiers are violent, terrible humans.
Ew, humans can be so vile
Because some of them are civilians. You can’t choose where you are born.
Israeli soldiers don’t have an excuse though.
Most of the Israelis keep voting for pro genocide politicians
Israel does have compulsory military service though.
You can still choose not to serve. There are probably consequences that follow choosing not to, of course. But the choice exists. There's no excuse. Same as the russians in the Ukraine War, or the American draftees during the Vietnam War.
Is it fair to be born into a certain nationality and be forced to deal with this choice? No. But the choice exists not to comply and become part of the problem.
Go ahead and serve, just do it in the most incompetent way possible. Make them scared to give you a weapon or authority because you (intentionally) fuck everything up in training
If you enter Gaza you are an invader and palestinians will shoot at you.
While this will almost certainly go unpunished, the IOF sentenced another two of its invaders to 30 days of military detention for being filmed while sledgehammering a statue of Jesus. This is because the IOF knows Christian Zionists care more about a plaster idol than they do about living, breathing Palestinians.
That is hatred and dehumanization and ideological fanaticism a little like, well, you know who.

Nuke israel. Destroy the zionists.
Disgusting vermin. How can someone be so cruel
