NYPD officer caught on video punching pro-Gaza protester during Brooklyn rally - Lemmy.World

It’s crazy how this makes headlines around the world, yet we’ve had cops behave ten times worse with protesters here in Germany and it never leaves fringe news outlets. Not even one big German news outlet explicitly talks about such cases happening here. It feels like I’m living in a dystopian future.
It’s because of our past and now Israel can do no wrong and anyone who even hints at Israel doing a genocide is an antisemitic Nazi sympathizer. The media and politics bias is extreme
I’m part jewish myself. My great grandmother was killed by the nazis during the Holocaust. Yet Germans are trying to gaslight people like me for speaking about the fact that Palestinians are humans and should be treated as such.

Meanwhile, historians are amazed at the comparatively low civilian casualty in Gaza despite very problematic circumstances: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVcP_0xwNWs&t=5983

Mind you, the Palestinians often behave very humanely: youtu.be/NVcP_0xwNWs?t=7403

Oh, and because there are always questions about the author’s past: youtu.be/NVcP_0xwNWs?t=8087

So the guy you just linked as a historian is an ex AfD politician.

Has he published any books on Israel Palestine or why would whatever he says be worth a dime?

During all of this ask yourself one thing: What could Hamas do to stop the violence?

Dude, I fucking don’t care for the tears of Hamas-Lovers. The international Law is harsh but straight forward: Israel has the right to self defend and if Hamas fights back by shooting its own people and hiding behind kids - their problem. The current objectives of Israel align perfectly with international Law:

  • return of the hostages
  • make Hamas a non-thread. Either by making Hamas surrender and return all weapons or by Hamas dying in g(l)ory and taking some of their civilians with them. See, I laughed my ass off when South Africa sued Germany for supporting Israel because the only outcome by Law would be “Germany is acting by the Law.” the same will happen for the current case against Netanjahu - he might be a cretin but he is not a criminal. For Hamas though… I am pretty sure Den Haag will happy sue an arrest warrent for them. You hate this? Well, that is international Law.
  • If the international law is so clear cut then Israel would’ve left the territories it occupies illegally under international law. They’ve been occupying them and settling for decades. That is illegal and has been declared as such. But look, at least the people out of your german bubble can see how delusional the german society really is. You’re boiling in your own delusions. A fever dream, a parallel reality that even Israel allies do not share with you.
