This is what happens when everyone turns a blind eye to apartheid governments.
Yeah this happens daily in Palestine. Suddenly people care what happens over there? Gimme a break
There is literally not a SINGLE incident that I have ever heard of of Israelis dragging a family out of their home, slitting their throats ON CAMERA in the street including the children, then parading the bodies around while a literal crowd of hundreds of people cheer the murders.
That simply hasn't happened. Comparing soldiers shooting people, justified or not, to this is not just disingenuous but deliberately, flagrantly stupid.
OR it's antisemitic, and I'm leaning toward antisemitism here TBH.
This is WELL beyond anything that Israel has done in the last few decades. Civilians killed during military actions in Gaza are not even remotely similar to this. This was a full on pogrom.
"This is WELL beyond anything that Israel has done in the last few decades. Civilians killed during military actions in Gaza are not even remotely similar to this" why? they're still dead.
Exactly. They're dead. In the end it doesn't even matter how they died, they're just dead. Is one way worse? Yes, but the result is still horrific. They. Are. Dead. Noone can take it back. Does it make worse that crowd applauds the killing? Yes. But same goes for the Israeli crowd (like the one in Kneset) applauding killing terrorist together with their families and children...
The older I am the more disgusted of all the war pigs and warmongers I am. As a teen I scoffled at hippies and their beliefs, today I'd shake their hands. Fuck war, fuck killing, fuck war pigs.
