Raise your hands if you’re shocked. Literally nobody should raise their hands

If the most recent death toll wasn't enough, here's something else showing that they don't really care about keeping an appearance, as well as another U.N. school, i don't know what to say or do, everyone knows that they won't destroy "Hamas" :

If their goal was only to send a message, then there's no point to be that extreme, the only reason left that i can see is that they want to keep the Gaza Strip, it's always a bet but they considered that they'll be allowed to(, in which case their security would indeed be increased by getting rid of all palestinians).
Their neighbours would have to be quite desperate to think that embracing Israel and the west is still their best option, but if they do it'd probably be for economic reasons, and/or perhaps fears of retaliations, i.d.k., we'll see how it'll evolve in the future, but i can't believe that they would kill all of these people and destroy everything without a real goal, sending a pointless message isn't one, nor is the unrealistic aim of destroying "Hamas", i find it hard to imagine them simply going back to their side as if they accomplished something by pointlessly mass murdering thousands of childrens&humans on the other side of the wall, awful that this senseless option of a useless massacre is the most desirable.

Not quite. Israel managed to get the Arab states on their side, and the US is helping using aid (this is why Egypt is helping Israel in its blockade of Gaza, for instance). Arab leaders aren't victims of an oppressive international order; they're willing traitors.

I’ll repeat a comment I made a while ago:

“Please move over there to that big X on the ground, and we will definitely not bomb it.

-Sincerely the IOF”

And yet they’re going to be so pissed off when Schindler’s List is remade one day with someone who’s shielding Palestinians.

It's ok because they didn't condemn HAMAS

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

the IDF has probable intel that there may or may not be a member of Hamas in that crowd, thus they are human shields and the IDF is clean of all wrong doing

Can you stand in a line please, we're running short on bullets.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

"We do a little bit of trolling" - IDF probably

[–] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Israel clearly meant that 'south' means Egypt.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 5 points 11 months ago

Or anywhere that isn't Gaza or Isreal
