I miss bread, says girl, as Gaza food crisis mounts
The Hamas have outright stated their goal is the genocide of the Jewish people.
With your metaphor, are you comparing the Hamas to the Nazis and Israel to the Jewish partisans - or - are you comparing the Hamas to the Jewish partisans and the Israel to the Nazis?
An IAF soldier reading this article:
"Aww, how sad. I wonder if there's anything I could do to help? Ooh, I know!"
He then proceeds to scribble "Bread" on one of the munitions he's loading.
A second soldier notices this and comes near.
"Hey man, that's not cool. What's she going to do with just one bread? We need a dozen loaves at least!"
He starts scribbling as well.
Their commander looks on speechless and shakes his head at their antics.
"What a bunch of degenerates."
He places his own marker aside and goes to reprimand his subordinates. Behind him a missile newly babtized 'Dildo of Doom' lies in silence.
It does make sense, but priorities are different so it's less noticeable.
From a military point of view, starving the enemy is a victory in itself. Means fewer numbers to deal with.
And that's all these people are to them, the enemy.
They pretty much were doing this even before the attack. They were on purpose limiting the amount of resources entering Gaza, and that is why this tunnel network in Gaza was built in the first place. Because Israel was purposefully limiting the amount of goods delivered into Gaza.
It is really despicable what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank and what they were doing for years without any meaningful reaction from the West.
Yeah but obviously these people are lesser than everyone else, so it totally makes sense this 4 year old along with thousands of others deserve starvation and should even have family to comfort her.
This just might be the most heart breaking clip I’ve ever seen.
I don’t understand how Israel can create this humanitarian crisis and then prevent aid from helping.
It’s a lot cheaper to starve people to death in the giant concentration camp they were born in, than gather them, to transport them to much smaller concentration camps and then have to spend money on Zyklon B to get rid of them.
Honestly, If you ask me, the United States is the largest terror organisation in the world.
If we need evidence, me exibit A is this post, this girl would not be missing bread or her father if it where not for the United States… if we need more examples I am happy to provide, but I am going to be suspect if this argument 1 does not turn you
Clearly Gaza is dependent on Israel for basic necessities, they provoked war with them anyway.
Uh yes, that's how occupation works. As an occupying power Israel has an obligation to supply Gazans with food, water and other necessities, even during an insurgency.
People organize themselves according to those things. Even if you think the organization of societies and nations and cultures and religions are arbitrary, said groups still have a right to collective self-defense, to reprisal, to safety, to disincentivize further attacks by responding to violence with violence, to make the next potential attacker think twice about pulling another Oct 7. I support Israel deposing Hamas and achieving meaningful safety by whatever legal means they deem nessicary. They were the victims of a great injustice and I have sympathy and empathy for them. I have significantly less empathy for the nation who orchestrated the slaughter and intentionally provoked this response while hiding behind their own nation's children, using the inevitable tragedy to vilify Israel for defending themselves, parading the innocents they caused to suffer before the cameras. If anything this is a self-inflicted wound caused by Palestinian support of Hamas, militarization and indoctrination of youth, and popular intifada. Endless belligerence provoking predictable responses.
Now you're diagnosing me with a mental disorder for disagreeing with you? If you believe the only reason one might disagree with you is because they are a shill, have a mental disorder, or are fundamentally indecent or evil, you are in serious need of some introspection.
Like many here, I'm on the side of civilians - of any ethnicity.
The overwhelming majority of civilians in Gaza did not elect Hamas (happened before half of them were born) and it feels disingenuous to call them an elected government.
Nevertheless yes, I expect everyone in this conflict to care about these civilians a lot more than most of the combatants do. Expecting people to act humanely isn't unreasonable.
It's not at all "incredible" that we are against the starvation of children.
My oh my that is a biased youtuber. Blatantly saying no one could possibly disagree and be a, "decent person," that Israel defending itself is, "evil winning," makes it clear.
They "stole" the land while simultaneously buying it legally, but somehow it doesn't count because it's just, "a piece of paper"? Okay. That's how land purchasing works, and it's not theft.
It took a while to find sources, the interview of the man "laughing at atrocities" was talking about the Tantura massacre, which was terrible. One can certainly find many examples of atrocious behavior and war crimes in this long conflict. Neither Israel nor Palestine has clean hands. I've seen accounts of equally egregious or worse behavior by the Arab League, but that's indirectly relevant in today's conflict at best. Those atrocities happened in a war from generations ago.
In this most recent chapter of the war, Gaza's once-elected government, Hamas, was clearly the antagonist. Oct 7th was the direct cause of all this. If you have the stomach for it, you should see what they did. (warning: NSFL, cruelty, violence, death.) It put Tantura to shame, and it isn't an atrocity of the past, it is of the present, one that needs to be addressed. Unlike grievances from generations ago, the belligerents remain a threat and further attacks need to be prevented.
Israel deserves safety and binding their hands before that can be achieved, before Hamas is deposed, before the hostages are returned, is akin to holding them down so they can't respond to an antagonist punching them. That's not something a good person would do in my opinion. It sucks that there's a cost to civilians but that's always the case when one's government starts a war and loses. I want this war to end, but not until Israel has achieved meaningful safety goals. Otherwise, this constant violence and belligerence will just continue, and it will be blindly fired rockets, suicide bombings, and Oct 7th's indefinitely.
I don't find this rando cheering for the downfall of America and Israel to be compelling, if anything it's evidence of the media bubble you inhabit.
It's possible to disagree in good faith without going ad hominem. You should try it. I can both disagree that this is a genocide and be a decent person.
It's disheartening how effectively Hamas and their allies has convinced the left that they are the good guys and Israel must be stopped before they are defeated. Iran made a good investment.
In interview with Qantara.de, leading Holocaust researcher Omer Bartov talks about the indictment against Israel at the International Court of Justice, the instrumentalisation of anti-Semitism and Germany's possible role in a two-state solution
I dunno. This could be a Hamas ruse.

You see lemmy has decided whenever anything bad happens religion is to blame, Measles? Religion, Global Warming? Religion, War? Religion
Idk what the fuck is going on in the US, but from what I can tell is that they are using religion as an excuse to do whatever the fuck they want (anyone who has the slightest knowledge of the bible knows this is wrong anyway), while also not changing their conservative mindset, I live in a religious conservative society as well and it is 100% the conservativesm I have a problem with, not with people believing in a god
Religion is a catch-all for beliefs, ideology, etc, and it is religion. The fight is your sky God versus my sky God. Meanwhile, it’s the same fucking God.
Name a mass genocide / terrorist attack committed by atheists. And I’m talking about groups, not some neckbeard from Reddit who decided to shoot up a school.
I’ll wait.
