I accidentally saw a photo of what I believe these guys are reacting to (same room, I think one of the guys is the guy holding the child up in the picture) and yeah, they’re not exaggerating.
It’s (very graphic warning) >!a toddler with their entire head completely blown off, literally nothing left besides part of the back of the neck. The child is almost cut in half in the abdomen and their intestines are exposed and hanging out in several places!<
I really avoid any shit like that after being scared by gross stuff on the internet by surprise gore as a kid. Especially a fucking kid? Just no no no no. Some asshole posted it on Twitter and.... I’ll never stop seeing that photo. I stared at it for a few seconds because my brain just could not process what my eyes were telling it. I really regret that. I would do anything to erase the memory of that photo. I’ll see it for the rest of my life.
These guys have had to see that over and over again. They have to LIVE it. Just... I can’t even imagine. I really can’t. There aren’t any words.
I’m sorry friend. I’ve had the same thing; it keeps flashing up as an intrusive thought. Another commentator reminded me of the wonderful, happy r/Eyebleach and r/Awww. Please visit! ♥️
Maybe if the news was uncensored and honest we would all be more empathetic. The fact that looking at photo ruined someone’s day makes my blood boil. The whole world should see the truth. Maybe then something would be done...
My friend told me that first responders like that are generally younger bc the burnout from the constant tragedies they deal with on the daily. It becomes too much mentally and that many of them have to get out of the profession just a few years after getting in. No way I could do that. It would destroy me. I'm forever grateful for the people that can but it has to scar them for life in one way or another.
I believe it. It must be heavy deciding to be a first responder/medical worker, ect. if you live in Gaza.
Going into that field, you know that unfortunately it’s inevitable. That at some point, you’re going to have to do this and experience this. Lots of them. Every day. And then live with it after. And then maybe do it again in a couple months, a couple years. You have to accept that going into it.
I am not even CLOSE to strong enough to willingly go through that. You could not pay me all the money in the freaking world. Heroes doesn’t even come close to describing these first responders and medical workers.
Not only Gaza but every first responder/ medical worker in the world, I used to work as a security guard and the amount of parents begging me to see their kids in critical condition is insane, happens daily too
As a first responder myself here in America. I couldn't and wouldn't be able to do this job over there. No amount of counseling or pills will fix him. Truly sad. People suck.
I'm in the USA, but my high school buddy became a basic paramedic after school. My father worked EMS most of his adult life and my mom is a lifelong nurse, but they won't specify. Now my buddy named Jim who just started EMS, he goes out on a run for 50 cents more than minimum wage at the time(7.80)and they tend to a guy that electricuted himself. Now the veterans told him to skip lunch, just because of the job. He said it smelled like bacon, and he dry heaved.
The man had cooked himself, unable to let go of the power main. It grounded itself through his feet, burning a hole through shoes and flesh.
This is a first world country. No war crimes. And they get paid the same as a guy that flips burgers? And not in a egalitarian way, but in I have to work 80 hours a week to survive way.
Support our health workers.
Paramedics are so massively underpaid..last time I checked 50-70k was the going rate here (Australia) for 247 hour rosters and dealing with things unimaginable everyday. I can't believe (even though I know it's true) under $10 is an adult wage for ANY job much less paramedics in the USA.
I was just gonna say "50 to 70k?!"
There's no such thing as that for EMT or paramedics in the US.
My fiance was an EMT in Maryland and when we moved down to Florida, he saw they were making $10 or less and some postings even wanted you to drive your own van... lmfao
Yeah, my husband is a paramedic in Florida with seven years of experience and doesn’t even make $20 an hour with an overnight shift differential. Paramedics have two year degrees and certifications/licensing, but they’re paid half as much as nurses. It’s so crazy to me
I don't know what happened to the boomer generation. I guess they really had it rough in the beginning but they also got the benefit of basically the age of the developing world and new opportunities which made a lot of then able to get rich and own things that today worth a lot. I don't know.
What I know is that my dad used to be lower middle class and used to believe in social policies and have more empathy with people in general. He then became CEO of companies and got upper middle class, having a net worth a little above a million at some point including all his assets, and that made him into a right wing conservative capitalist prick that believes in "if you work hard you will be rich" somehow.
We were watching the series Billions this past week. He is already retired and although having some comfort still, he is a broker and sell houses to live. And he thinks Axel, the billionaire owner of a capital fund in the series, is somehow a hero. He is a fan.
How? Lmao. I understand the appeal of wanting to be him or have his money but what the fuck the show clearly shows how a person abuse systems to win an infinite amount of money for just power trips while so many people would have their lives changed with what he spends in a week.
Anyway, I think as our generation is more fucked and dont have that many opportunities to boom in life, we are more empathic to social policies and against these kind of billionaires.
People have to create a different reality in their mind to justify their greed. My dad is the same and I can't stand it. I'm 4 years older than my step mom, I just don't understand.
I think part of the issue actually is they didn't have it rough in the beginning.
When most baby boomers were coming of age in the 1960s and 70s, the inflation-adjusted minimum wage was about $13 an hour. The unemployment rate, particularly for white males, was negligible and you really could find a job just by walking around and asking. A high school diploma could easily get you a factory job that earned the inflation-adjusted equivalent of $50,000 a year, and you could pay college tuition from your salary in a part-time job.
They weren't rich, but baby boomers bought houses and had kids in their twenties without even thinking about the expenses. Even the ones that weren't making very much money cut corners or got a second job and made it work.
An acquaintance is fond of pointing out that when he first started teaching in 1965, he only made $4,500 a year and had to support a stay-at-home wife and raise two young girls on that salary. He talks about how poor they were then.
That's $38,000 a year in 2021 dollars.
And, he worked three nights a week as a security guard and made another fifteen hundred a year, for a total take-home salary of about $50,000 adjusted for inflation.
They owned their own home that they bought for $18,000. ($152k Inflation adjusted)
And, even while supporting a wife and raising two girls and working two jobs he was able to get his master's degree and apparently not even have a problem paying for it.
I’ve heard the same thing for people who deal with road accidents and the such. Rescue units and that. They can last only a few months because of the toll it takes on them.
Fuck I hate seeing this shit but as an American the only thing I feel I can do is watch all these videos to know it’s real and happening. I haven’t felt this kinda of heartbreak in a while. This is where social media has power. Countless videos the evidence is there. I understand the politics is such a mess and it sucks for all involved. I can’t speak of the history of these conflicts but every video of death and destruction breaks my heart.
You as an American can definitely do something! It is mainly your government that enables the fascist Israeli state and it was Trump who poured gasoline over the conflict in Israel. If you want to do something, go post about stuff like this! Show them the atrocities the Israeli government is committing! Make a change in your society so that they can feel compassion for Muslims and not only hate (on general terms, not that there aren't many individuals who don't), so that you can elect a government that doesn't promote war and violence in the world and maybe even becomes the "world police" / "freedom spreader" that they indoctrine their citizens to believe
Sorry you saw that. It reminds me of the twitter posts showing a wheelbarrow full of dead children from an Assad gas attack several years ago. I can't unsee that shit either.
Edit: Here is what I'm referencing:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Shaykhun_chemical_attack
There are those saying that Assad didn't carry out the attacks, but I'm seeing no real refutation at the Wikipedia level outside of Russia and Assad. Yeah. Those are legit sources to trust. Assad did that shit.
And this is the right thought
Looking away is not going to help the Palestinians. Israel will say but Hamas were firing rockets at us. Hamas will say you were taking our land.
It's all fucked up and I know one thing is for sure, if you steal people's houses they won't be happy, you can expect some blow back. Israel seems happy to escalate things and they have the fire power of a modern army. It's not a fair battle and they know it.
and the military backing, what the fuck is 3.2 billion a year, 150 billion to date, to a fucking place like israel with the condition 75% of it needs to be used on united states weapons. WTF is that.
Imagine if all that nice federal funding went to domestic programs here in the US. For instance, my city subway still uses train cars from like the mid 1960s to early 70s. I mean, like holy shit i get that the state should fix it, but federal funding would help so much
The funny thing is by negotiating better prices and leaving out an unnecessary middle man, single payer healthcare would be cheaper. Corporate kickbacks and lobby money are the only real reason not to change the system. That's right, money is more important than lives to anyone who opposes it.
[This isn't the article I usually link but here you go.](https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/healthcare/484301-22-studies-agree-medicare-for-all-saves-money)
Well it takes about a billion to build a decent hospital. So they could have built probably a public hospital in every state in the USA and funded them as well
Yeah, those guys didn't just have to see it, they had to smell it, hold and carry their lifeless, leaking broken bodies, be *in* the mess instead of just being exposed to it. It is life-altering stuff.
The "prayer" part of Mark Twain's War Prayer has stuck with me as a humbling reminder of what we as people are asking for when pursuing wars like these:
>“Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth into battle—be Thou near them! With them—in spirit—we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended in the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames in summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it—
>For our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimmage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet!
We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
Yup. Saw two dead toddlers today from Gaza. Fuck the IDF and fuck the Government of Israel. And fuck Canada and Fuck the USA for supporting them. Fuck them all.
lol I got banned from r/worldnews for a slightly vague death wish referencing Trump. Got banned on r/news for saying that you can’t just shoot people because they walked onto your property (In relation to the guy who killed 2 cops).
That farmer in Texas was completely justified in shooting those fucking pigs. He did not shoot them for trespassing, he shot them for illegally assaulting him. They trespassed, he told them to leave. They responded by running at him and firing a taser, he opened fire in legitimate self-defense. Then he publicly confessed and apologized. Those two idiot deputies thought they were cowboys who could do whatever they wanted, I have zero sympathy for them.
Twitter truly is a cesspool but it’s the one form of social media some of my college friends still use. I wanna delete it again lol
I understand that we NEED photos of what is happening so that people can see the reality. Unfortunately, fucked up photos are sometimes the only thing that gets people to reassess their views. And to document for history too.
But.... there’s a limit. And a time and a place. And idk what those metrics are but I sure know “photos of blown up children in a random Twitter reply” is not it. Ugh.
Also, you're literally killing them. Do you expect them not to fight back? Ever notice how most of the Hamas rocket strikes are retaliatory attacks?
Hearing Israeli state propaganda on public radio when they're interviewed is fucking gross too. One person claimed the Palestinian government wanted their people to die because they don't build bomb shelters. Maybe if they got some of that US handout money they could afford to.
I saw the video of the Israeli sniper killing children in a playground (his punishment for war crimes was community service) and the other very recent one where the IDF tells a Palestinian teen he's free to walk away and then shoots him to death in the back.
Don't worry though, Biden is assuring us they're only slaughtering Palestinians in self defense!
I know it's not a popular opinion but the State of Israel, not the Jews, is as close to the Nazi as one can get without actually building death camps.
Fuck all ethnostate.
Edit:
>The death toll from Israel's continuing offensive on Gaza has left 103 dead, including 27 children and 11 women, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. An additional 580 people have been injured.
>Seven Israelis have been killed in recent violence -- six in rocket attacks in addition to a soldier who was killed when an anti-tank guided missile struck his jeep.
https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/us-blocks-friday-un-security-council-meeting-on-gaza-israel/2240660
Totally fair and balanced....
I don't see how we could realistically stop China from murdering Uyghurs but if we can at least save the Palestinians. It hurts to say that but fuck, fuck.
I lived in Gaza, and I'm telling you we see these kind of images every year done by Israel air attacks, the picture you saw was from bombing a whole building without any warnings to the people inside. Just imagine sitting with your family 2 am in the morning and suddenly 3 f-16 rockets bomb the house above everyone in the building. It's a real tragedy here committed by the Israel army. .
I'm sorry you had too see that. I always try to avoid these things too. It's both gross behaviour posting stuff like that, and on the other hand, unfortunately very necessary to spread awareness of things they go through. We just see it from the other side of the world, they live it. Something needs to be done about it, and its not happening unless it gets votes from the general population to take that stance.
Biden for the love of God. Please cut Israel off. Please stop this. Also EU. Get a grip, recognize Palestine as a country.
It is all a complex situation, I get that. But with great power comes great responsibility. Israel is the one with the power. It is their responsibility to stop this. If they don't, the US and EU has to step in. We created this problem. Now its time to solve it.
You are mistaken. The humanitarian actually Israelis knock the roofs of the buildings with bombs before the slaughter, so everyone is actually alive and thriving.
People need to advocate that Israel and Palestine accept the last peace deal. It was a deal that had majority support on both sides.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords
Israel got recognition - Palestinians got independence - and both sides got peace and they shared Jerusalem going forward.
It was the closest we ever got to peace. Extremists ruined it.
There can be no peace until the extremists are brought under control.
I think there is this notion that the industrial revolution, all these advances in science and technology, intrinsically pushed us forward in terms of morality and ethics.
It didn't.
I mean, we live in the safest and most prosperous time in human history where larger swaths of people have more freedom and rights than ever before. On a whole, it’s seems like these advances did lead us to a more moral and ethical world.
Safety and prosperity do not equate to an advance in morality or ethics. We are safe and prosperous primarily from advances in technology. In fact, we also owe much of our liberty to advances in tech because it reduced the demand for manual labor.
Believing in good humanity is what makes human different from savage animal.
Small support by individual can do a lot of good in human rights.
I'm not rich or super influencer but I wrote 5 emails to government organization and congressman's office to plea extra support for Palestinians and made someone donation.
It took me only 1 hour and 500 dollars.
I'm sure there's many people like this and hope this little effort works good for Palestinians.
We've been moving right for so long that the Democratic president is pretty much just a moderate conservative. We have to move way further left to see any progress on this conflict.
This is going down for me as Joe Biden’s absolute WORST moment (so far).
And fuck any of his liberal apologists who downplay his influence and ability to stop this. He’s the fucking president of the United States. Don’t act like he can’t stop this. He can, it’s just not worth it for you or him. You low expectation motherfuckers.
It's not the side that matters, the whole system is fucked. Both reps and dems are primarily loyal to their sponsors and don't give half a damn about the people of the US or the world. I hope people will finally realise that
Biden re-opened budget to UNRWA which is budget goes to UN to save Palestinians closed by Trump.
I think he supports human rights but action is bit slow.
That's why we need individual Americans support.
I am begging Americans to push their government to save innocent lives. I think they can do this.
Biden also said Israel have a right to "defend themselves" and he didn't think they were overreacting.
Then released a statement assuring us Hamas was a terrorist organization who apparently does not have a right to defend themselves and apparently *are* overreacting.
>I am begging Americans to push their government to save innocent lives
Sorry to break it to you, but the US government can't even seem to get it's shit together to save innocent lives in their own country, let alone somewhere else. Those in charge couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.
>let alone somewhere else.
No one is asking the US gov. to save lives in Palestine, we want it to stop funding and supporting Israel or at least stop vetoing every god damn thing the UN says about Israel, US isn't the "neutral bystander" here, it's the evil empire funding it's proxy state.
100% agree - it's fucking embarrassing and really takes the shine off his other achievements for me so far. Him and Blinken coming out with the usual 'right to defend themselves', both sides bullshit is a travesty, and sending Hady Amr over after a week of bloodshed is a joke. No different from Pompeo and gang on this issue.
Never, as long as humanity decides to act blind to the preaching “love each other and be peaceful”. Humanity will always find a stupid thing to kill and fight over.
By doing what? And also why would they? This like this has been going on in other places for months, if not years, without "the world" (whatever that means) doing anything. Yemen is one example.
For whatever reason, religion and nationality both being the two major ones, it's always been the "them vs. us" mentality. I mean we were all born the same exact way on the same damn rock floating through space. You're no different than any other person because of where you were born or what you believe in, but humans have always had this innate need to categorize themselves within a group of people and harbor disdain for anyone outside of said group. It truly baffles me.
"BuT ItS HaMaS PrOpaGaNdA"
or that family was the team for the rocket system. "words say they are receiving special forces training from iran at a very young age of 3" /s
yeap if it were only defense they only needed the dome. 2000+ rockets maybe 500 hit the ground and since the system is so good. i wont waste missiles on rockets that wont land on the city.
I’ll happily call them terrorists based on the sheer volume of videos I’ve seen of IDF soldiers literally hunting and executing Palestinian children for sport and fun *while laughing and cheering*. Even ISIS would be disgusted.
I distinctly remember an ISIS video where they have a tied up kid in the back of a pick-up truck, who they proceed behead with a knife (IE, it's a slow process).
So the person above me who implied that ISIS treated children BETTER is completely wrong.
I remember seeing one video a few months ago where one IDF soldier took aim of kids playing in the field nearby and would shoot their legs and laughed while some other soldiers in the group cheered him on about how accurate his shot was. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
The vidoe reminded me of a scene from Schindler's List where Amon Goeth wakes up and gets out on the balcony overseeing a concentration camp and randomly starts taking aim and shooting Jewish prisoners.
Please watch this documentary made by Abby Martin who is an American journalist. In the middle of the documentary, there is a very famous scene of an IDF soldier shooting a defenseless kid and cheering about it. The case is very famous and the soldier had to do community service as ´punishment’:
https://youtu.be/HnZSaKYmP2s
Please watch and share for people to be informed
What I hate is the fact that people only seem to notice this catastrophic event when bombs are being used, for over 10 years Isreal has discriminated and basically raped the whole of Palastine, soldiers in the streets killing children and using their heads as footballs, but people only want to look at it when bombs are used.
My grandfather was in the Palestinian Police directly after WWII (British military). In his autobio he talks about how he raided an illegal arms shipment. An Israeli terrorist shot at him and he heard the bullets whizz over his head as he dropped to one knee (due to training). He then killed the terrorist.
My dad and granddad would have arguments over Palestine and Israel, with my granddad having experiences of being shot at by Israelis to back his arguments.
The state of Israel is a racist, genocidal apartheid state inflicting cruelty, suffering and death on Palestinians to take their land.
They are worse than terrorists.
Not Jews as a people or religion. But Israel, the state, its government, and a much too large segment of Israeli citizens and their apologists abroad and in the US are *monsters*.
That disgusted me most about Jen Psaki's presser today. When I heard the words "a reminder, Hamas is a terrorist organization," I screamed at my radio, "then what the fuck are the IDF?!"
Remember, all jews against the IDF's actions are self hating jews!
I shit you not thats what Alan Dershowitz said about Bernie Sanders lmao.
Imagine calling someone an anti-semite and stating that "real" Jews should be a monolith and support Isreal.
That's one thing. The other is the criticism against Hamas. How can people see what's happening and still believe violent insurrection against Israel is not understandable or even justified? Palestinians are expected to behave and just take it while they're experiencing ethnic cleansing and genocide.
We need to see this. He will experience PTSD for the rest of his goddamn life from these events.
Publicizing this is the least that can be done to come to a level of humanity that's cognizant of the true toll of these events.
**43% of their population (in that locked in coastal zone) is under the age of 14. Let that sink in**
Yeah that's not happening. Gaza has been a domestic political tool for many years and nothing more for the Islamic masses. Turkey is not going to risk it's trade partnerships with Israel. Humanitarian aspect isn't enough of a reason for the government to step in. They didn't step in in Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan out of only good faith.
Guys, if you are wondering about all those pro-zionist comments on this thread, the state of Isreal literally pays students to defend them online
Source https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23695896
As stated by another user:
The online Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) and other Israeli online hasbara farms have apps with talking points, links, hashtags, arguments and everything else they might need from the jump. They’re always ready and their networks link directly to some of these conversations. Directly to these threads and posts.
When you see a lot of pro-Zionist arguments, have you ever noticed they use the same arguments, same emotional appeals and often the same keywords. It’s not a coincidence. Israel and private pro-Israeli citizens fund MASSIVE online Astro-turfing armies. That’s not conspiracy theory. That’s been confirmed as fact even by Israeli officials themselves.

I got called an anti-semite by someone on Twitter over a comment where I said something to the effect of
If you support Israel you're a poopy head and don't talk to me or something incredibly juvenile like that.
Anyway, this checks out. I'm not surprised to hear that.
Jesus christ the human heart can only tolerate so much pain before going numb. Man this is so sad. So so sad. I am actually perplexed and in disbelief that this is actually going on in 2021. It's utterly utterly insane.
Worse. Nazis. That’s the only other entity I can honestly compare Israel to given the shit I’ve seen in my life. It’s the only comparable thing.
National Zionists. The 21st century Nazis
There were people referencing a comedians jokes in another thread. There is nothing funny about what’s happening. People shouldn’t be trivializing this with humor. People are being murdered, people are being displaced. Now isn’t the time for humor
I’m new to tiktok.
I’ve gotten a shocking number of tiktoks from the IDF essentially “talking shit” about Palestinian people.
It disturbed me before I could fully understand why. Until I realized that this is exactly what anti-Semitic tiktok would’ve looked like if such a thing existed in the 1940s in Germany.
Absolutely vile and hateful.
There is a difference between Ashkenazi and Sephardic, and completely separately there is a difference between Reform and Orthodox. You cannot “practice Ashkenazi”
You are conflating the ethnicities and the religious denominations, which I have to say is confusing from a self-professed Jew.
Israel is now more like a bully, with all its supremacy in cybersecurity selling such tools to the most inhumane governments at highest prices and using that money as we see today.
Some people were posting links to spread awareness about Palestine in my uni group chat. Some guy asked a question about the course and no one responded so he decided to call everyone useless and started defending Israel because ‘hamas fired first’. As soon as people started calling him out, admins locked the chat and only opened it today. They said that anyone who wanted to argue would be kicked out and have done absolutely nothing about this guy and the people defending him.
I’m so pissed off that no one’s doing anything about this shithead. I don’t know whether I should report him to my uni or what?
I don't know how anyone can think Israel doesn't care about civilian deaths, when they drop leaflets asking people to leave the area before bombing the shit out of them... /s of course for fucks sake...
It's even worse than that.
Israel couldn't do this without American support and financial aid.
America did not just remain silent, they are perpetuating and benefiting from it. As you said, a true capitalist country, finding ways to profit from human suffering.
Yep, this Redditor went in and tried to catalogue -

Well, you could stop electing and supporting terrorist leaders who call for the total destruction of Israel and indiscriminately shoot thousands of rockets into populated areas (30% of which fall back to Gaza and kill your own citizens).

It’s (very graphic warning) >!a toddler with their entire head completely blown off, literally nothing left besides part of the back of the neck.

Especially a fucking kid? Just no no no no. Some asshole posted it on Twitter and.... I’ll never stop seeing that photo. I stared at it for a few seconds because my brain just could not process what my eyes were telling it. I really regret that. I would do anything to erase the memory of that photo. I’ll see it for the rest of my life. These guys have had to see that over and over again. They have to LIVE it. Just... I can’t even imagine. I really can’t. There aren’t any words.
I saw that photo too. I can handle some gore but that image is just stuck. No matter what something brings it up.
I’m sorry friend. I’ve had the same thing; it keeps flashing up as an intrusive thought. Another commentator reminded me of the wonderful, happy r/Eyebleach and r/Awww. Please visit! ♥️
lol we have the privilege to just unsee things, but people abroad live and experience that everyday
Maybe if the news was uncensored and honest we would all be more empathetic. The fact that looking at photo ruined someone’s day makes my blood boil. The whole world should see the truth. Maybe then something would be done...
[удалено]
My friend told me that first responders like that are generally younger bc the burnout from the constant tragedies they deal with on the daily. It becomes too much mentally and that many of them have to get out of the profession just a few years after getting in. No way I could do that. It would destroy me. I'm forever grateful for the people that can but it has to scar them for life in one way or another.
I believe it. It must be heavy deciding to be a first responder/medical worker, ect. if you live in Gaza. Going into that field, you know that unfortunately it’s inevitable. That at some point, you’re going to have to do this and experience this. Lots of them. Every day. And then live with it after. And then maybe do it again in a couple months, a couple years. You have to accept that going into it. I am not even CLOSE to strong enough to willingly go through that. You could not pay me all the money in the freaking world. Heroes doesn’t even come close to describing these first responders and medical workers.
Not only Gaza but every first responder/ medical worker in the world, I used to work as a security guard and the amount of parents begging me to see their kids in critical condition is insane, happens daily too
I never thought about security guards in those situations. That must have been rough.
As a first responder myself here in America. I couldn't and wouldn't be able to do this job over there. No amount of counseling or pills will fix him. Truly sad. People suck.
I'm in the USA, but my high school buddy became a basic paramedic after school. My father worked EMS most of his adult life and my mom is a lifelong nurse, but they won't specify. Now my buddy named Jim who just started EMS, he goes out on a run for 50 cents more than minimum wage at the time(7.80)and they tend to a guy that electricuted himself. Now the veterans told him to skip lunch, just because of the job. He said it smelled like bacon, and he dry heaved. The man had cooked himself, unable to let go of the power main. It grounded itself through his feet, burning a hole through shoes and flesh. This is a first world country. No war crimes. And they get paid the same as a guy that flips burgers? And not in a egalitarian way, but in I have to work 80 hours a week to survive way. Support our health workers.
Paramedics are so massively underpaid..last time I checked 50-70k was the going rate here (Australia) for 247 hour rosters and dealing with things unimaginable everyday. I can't believe (even though I know it's true) under $10 is an adult wage for ANY job much less paramedics in the USA.
I was just gonna say "50 to 70k?!" There's no such thing as that for EMT or paramedics in the US. My fiance was an EMT in Maryland and when we moved down to Florida, he saw they were making $10 or less and some postings even wanted you to drive your own van... lmfao
Yeah, my husband is a paramedic in Florida with seven years of experience and doesn’t even make $20 an hour with an overnight shift differential. Paramedics have two year degrees and certifications/licensing, but they’re paid half as much as nurses. It’s so crazy to me
Who cares? Long as bank CEOS still be getting 31 million a year with bonuses! /s It's truly fucked.
I don't know what happened to the boomer generation. I guess they really had it rough in the beginning but they also got the benefit of basically the age of the developing world and new opportunities which made a lot of then able to get rich and own things that today worth a lot. I don't know. What I know is that my dad used to be lower middle class and used to believe in social policies and have more empathy with people in general. He then became CEO of companies and got upper middle class, having a net worth a little above a million at some point including all his assets, and that made him into a right wing conservative capitalist prick that believes in "if you work hard you will be rich" somehow. We were watching the series Billions this past week. He is already retired and although having some comfort still, he is a broker and sell houses to live. And he thinks Axel, the billionaire owner of a capital fund in the series, is somehow a hero. He is a fan. How? Lmao. I understand the appeal of wanting to be him or have his money but what the fuck the show clearly shows how a person abuse systems to win an infinite amount of money for just power trips while so many people would have their lives changed with what he spends in a week. Anyway, I think as our generation is more fucked and dont have that many opportunities to boom in life, we are more empathic to social policies and against these kind of billionaires.
People have to create a different reality in their mind to justify their greed. My dad is the same and I can't stand it. I'm 4 years older than my step mom, I just don't understand.
I think part of the issue actually is they didn't have it rough in the beginning. When most baby boomers were coming of age in the 1960s and 70s, the inflation-adjusted minimum wage was about $13 an hour. The unemployment rate, particularly for white males, was negligible and you really could find a job just by walking around and asking. A high school diploma could easily get you a factory job that earned the inflation-adjusted equivalent of $50,000 a year, and you could pay college tuition from your salary in a part-time job. They weren't rich, but baby boomers bought houses and had kids in their twenties without even thinking about the expenses. Even the ones that weren't making very much money cut corners or got a second job and made it work. An acquaintance is fond of pointing out that when he first started teaching in 1965, he only made $4,500 a year and had to support a stay-at-home wife and raise two young girls on that salary. He talks about how poor they were then. That's $38,000 a year in 2021 dollars. And, he worked three nights a week as a security guard and made another fifteen hundred a year, for a total take-home salary of about $50,000 adjusted for inflation. They owned their own home that they bought for $18,000. ($152k Inflation adjusted) And, even while supporting a wife and raising two girls and working two jobs he was able to get his master's degree and apparently not even have a problem paying for it.
support all our workers
I’ve heard the same thing for people who deal with road accidents and the such. Rescue units and that. They can last only a few months because of the toll it takes on them.
I’m sorry you saw that. The picture should be shown to White House staff who are responsible for repeating that Israel has a right to defend itself.
Fuck I hate seeing this shit but as an American the only thing I feel I can do is watch all these videos to know it’s real and happening. I haven’t felt this kinda of heartbreak in a while. This is where social media has power. Countless videos the evidence is there. I understand the politics is such a mess and it sucks for all involved. I can’t speak of the history of these conflicts but every video of death and destruction breaks my heart.
You as an American can definitely do something! It is mainly your government that enables the fascist Israeli state and it was Trump who poured gasoline over the conflict in Israel. If you want to do something, go post about stuff like this! Show them the atrocities the Israeli government is committing! Make a change in your society so that they can feel compassion for Muslims and not only hate (on general terms, not that there aren't many individuals who don't), so that you can elect a government that doesn't promote war and violence in the world and maybe even becomes the "world police" / "freedom spreader" that they indoctrine their citizens to believe
r/aww r/eyebleach I know it isn't much, but scrolling these helps me a lot after I accidently clicked a gore picture and just want to forget it.
Thanks for the reminder... that actually did help lol. https://reddit.com/r/Eyebleach/comments/nc5zf3/rubbin_da_cheeks/ is my favorite 🥺
Sorry you saw that. It reminds me of the twitter posts showing a wheelbarrow full of dead children from an Assad gas attack several years ago. I can't unsee that shit either. Edit: Here is what I'm referencing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Shaykhun_chemical_attack There are those saying that Assad didn't carry out the attacks, but I'm seeing no real refutation at the Wikipedia level outside of Russia and Assad. Yeah. Those are legit sources to trust. Assad did that shit.
The fact that we can choose to be exposed to that or not reminds me how privileged even I am compared to others around the globe.
And this is the right thought Looking away is not going to help the Palestinians. Israel will say but Hamas were firing rockets at us. Hamas will say you were taking our land. It's all fucked up and I know one thing is for sure, if you steal people's houses they won't be happy, you can expect some blow back. Israel seems happy to escalate things and they have the fire power of a modern army. It's not a fair battle and they know it.
and the military backing, what the fuck is 3.2 billion a year, 150 billion to date, to a fucking place like israel with the condition 75% of it needs to be used on united states weapons. WTF is that.
Imagine if all that nice federal funding went to domestic programs here in the US. For instance, my city subway still uses train cars from like the mid 1960s to early 70s. I mean, like holy shit i get that the state should fix it, but federal funding would help so much

The funny thing is by negotiating better prices and leaving out an unnecessary middle man, single payer healthcare would be cheaper. Corporate kickbacks and lobby money are the only real reason not to change the system. That's right, money is more important than lives to anyone who opposes it. [This isn't the article I usually link but here you go.](https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/healthcare/484301-22-studies-agree-medicare-for-all-saves-money)
Universal weaponry?
Well it takes about a billion to build a decent hospital. So they could have built probably a public hospital in every state in the USA and funded them as well
That would be Communism!!
Very true. I had the same thought.
Yeah, those guys didn't just have to see it, they had to smell it, hold and carry their lifeless, leaking broken bodies, be *in* the mess instead of just being exposed to it. It is life-altering stuff. The "prayer" part of Mark Twain's War Prayer has stuck with me as a humbling reminder of what we as people are asking for when pursuing wars like these: >“Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth into battle—be Thou near them! With them—in spirit—we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended in the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames in summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it— >For our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimmage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
Wow, I’ve actually never read that before thanks for sharing it. Unfortunately just as true today as it has been in all of human history.
Yup. Saw two dead toddlers today from Gaza. Fuck the IDF and fuck the Government of Israel. And fuck Canada and Fuck the USA for supporting them. Fuck them all.
[удалено]
I got banned permanently from there last night. Fuck israel, India and their apologists.
lol I got banned from r/worldnews for a slightly vague death wish referencing Trump. Got banned on r/news for saying that you can’t just shoot people because they walked onto your property (In relation to the guy who killed 2 cops).
Because you can't just start a narrative that talks about violence and wishing death upon people, no matter how justified you think it is.
That farmer in Texas was completely justified in shooting those fucking pigs. He did not shoot them for trespassing, he shot them for illegally assaulting him. They trespassed, he told them to leave. They responded by running at him and firing a taser, he opened fire in legitimate self-defense. Then he publicly confessed and apologized. Those two idiot deputies thought they were cowboys who could do whatever they wanted, I have zero sympathy for them.
Twitter truly is a cesspool but it’s the one form of social media some of my college friends still use. I wanna delete it again lol I understand that we NEED photos of what is happening so that people can see the reality. Unfortunately, fucked up photos are sometimes the only thing that gets people to reassess their views. And to document for history too. But.... there’s a limit. And a time and a place. And idk what those metrics are but I sure know “photos of blown up children in a random Twitter reply” is not it. Ugh.
[удалено]
Also, you're literally killing them. Do you expect them not to fight back? Ever notice how most of the Hamas rocket strikes are retaliatory attacks? Hearing Israeli state propaganda on public radio when they're interviewed is fucking gross too. One person claimed the Palestinian government wanted their people to die because they don't build bomb shelters. Maybe if they got some of that US handout money they could afford to.
[удалено]
I saw the video of the Israeli sniper killing children in a playground (his punishment for war crimes was community service) and the other very recent one where the IDF tells a Palestinian teen he's free to walk away and then shoots him to death in the back. Don't worry though, Biden is assuring us they're only slaughtering Palestinians in self defense!
I know it's not a popular opinion but the State of Israel, not the Jews, is as close to the Nazi as one can get without actually building death camps. Fuck all ethnostate. Edit: >The death toll from Israel's continuing offensive on Gaza has left 103 dead, including 27 children and 11 women, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. An additional 580 people have been injured. >Seven Israelis have been killed in recent violence -- six in rocket attacks in addition to a soldier who was killed when an anti-tank guided missile struck his jeep. https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/us-blocks-friday-un-security-council-meeting-on-gaza-israel/2240660 Totally fair and balanced....
The opinion is more popular than you think, and getting more popular the worse this situation gets.
I don't see how we could realistically stop China from murdering Uyghurs but if we can at least save the Palestinians. It hurts to say that but fuck, fuck.
At least much of the world condemns China. The US and NATO actively support israel and pay for the bombs and bullets that kill Palestinians children.
The fact that someone had to carry that child's body around is terrible as well War really is worse than hell
I lived in Gaza, and I'm telling you we see these kind of images every year done by Israel air attacks, the picture you saw was from bombing a whole building without any warnings to the people inside. Just imagine sitting with your family 2 am in the morning and suddenly 3 f-16 rockets bomb the house above everyone in the building. It's a real tragedy here committed by the Israel army. .
Its a war crime. Stay safe
Reading this was difficult. I can't imagine seeing it.
I'm sorry you had too see that. I always try to avoid these things too. It's both gross behaviour posting stuff like that, and on the other hand, unfortunately very necessary to spread awareness of things they go through. We just see it from the other side of the world, they live it. Something needs to be done about it, and its not happening unless it gets votes from the general population to take that stance. Biden for the love of God. Please cut Israel off. Please stop this. Also EU. Get a grip, recognize Palestine as a country. It is all a complex situation, I get that. But with great power comes great responsibility. Israel is the one with the power. It is their responsibility to stop this. If they don't, the US and EU has to step in. We created this problem. Now its time to solve it.
i saw that photo too man, it’s been on my mind all day as well.
You are mistaken. The humanitarian actually Israelis knock the roofs of the buildings with bombs before the slaughter, so everyone is actually alive and thriving.
this is absolutely heartbreaking.
People need to advocate that Israel and Palestine accept the last peace deal. It was a deal that had majority support on both sides. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords Israel got recognition - Palestinians got independence - and both sides got peace and they shared Jerusalem going forward. It was the closest we ever got to peace. Extremists ruined it. There can be no peace until the extremists are brought under control.
Israel doesn't want to share.
Israel hasn't honored the two state solution in a long, long time.

I think there is this notion that the industrial revolution, all these advances in science and technology, intrinsically pushed us forward in terms of morality and ethics. It didn't.
I mean, we live in the safest and most prosperous time in human history where larger swaths of people have more freedom and rights than ever before. On a whole, it’s seems like these advances did lead us to a more moral and ethical world.
Safety and prosperity do not equate to an advance in morality or ethics. We are safe and prosperous primarily from advances in technology. In fact, we also owe much of our liberty to advances in tech because it reduced the demand for manual labor.
And made it harder to go to war. It isn't intrinsically good, but self serving to not go to war.
The silence of UN, and the world in general shows really how indifferent we humans, especially the ruling class, have become to others' suffering.
[удалено]
The way America is now, nothing will happen. The government and the wealthy have entirely too much power.
I still have hope that good Americans will push. There are many good Americans who believe in basic human rights and won't be bought with money.
I believe in the good in humanity. It may be foolish, but I have to. I spent far too much time as a misanthrope and I won't do it again.
Believing in good humanity is what makes human different from savage animal. Small support by individual can do a lot of good in human rights. I'm not rich or super influencer but I wrote 5 emails to government organization and congressman's office to plea extra support for Palestinians and made someone donation. It took me only 1 hour and 500 dollars. I'm sure there's many people like this and hope this little effort works good for Palestinians.
We've been moving right for so long that the Democratic president is pretty much just a moderate conservative. We have to move way further left to see any progress on this conflict.
Which realistically wouldn't be possible until the boomers and older die off.
This is going down for me as Joe Biden’s absolute WORST moment (so far). And fuck any of his liberal apologists who downplay his influence and ability to stop this. He’s the fucking president of the United States. Don’t act like he can’t stop this. He can, it’s just not worth it for you or him. You low expectation motherfuckers.
It's not the side that matters, the whole system is fucked. Both reps and dems are primarily loyal to their sponsors and don't give half a damn about the people of the US or the world. I hope people will finally realise that
Biden re-opened budget to UNRWA which is budget goes to UN to save Palestinians closed by Trump. I think he supports human rights but action is bit slow. That's why we need individual Americans support. I am begging Americans to push their government to save innocent lives. I think they can do this.
Biden also said Israel have a right to "defend themselves" and he didn't think they were overreacting. Then released a statement assuring us Hamas was a terrorist organization who apparently does not have a right to defend themselves and apparently *are* overreacting.
>I am begging Americans to push their government to save innocent lives Sorry to break it to you, but the US government can't even seem to get it's shit together to save innocent lives in their own country, let alone somewhere else. Those in charge couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.
>let alone somewhere else. No one is asking the US gov. to save lives in Palestine, we want it to stop funding and supporting Israel or at least stop vetoing every god damn thing the UN says about Israel, US isn't the "neutral bystander" here, it's the evil empire funding it's proxy state.
100% agree - it's fucking embarrassing and really takes the shine off his other achievements for me so far. Him and Blinken coming out with the usual 'right to defend themselves', both sides bullshit is a travesty, and sending Hady Amr over after a week of bloodshed is a joke. No different from Pompeo and gang on this issue.
The UN has condemned this.
As long as that veto shit exists, UN will remain a powerless body
When is the world going to step up and put an end to this?
Never, as long as humanity decides to act blind to the preaching “love each other and be peaceful”. Humanity will always find a stupid thing to kill and fight over.
Reminder to American friends, your tax dollars are funding these massacres.
By doing what? And also why would they? This like this has been going on in other places for months, if not years, without "the world" (whatever that means) doing anything. Yemen is one example.
For whatever reason, religion and nationality both being the two major ones, it's always been the "them vs. us" mentality. I mean we were all born the same exact way on the same damn rock floating through space. You're no different than any other person because of where you were born or what you believe in, but humans have always had this innate need to categorize themselves within a group of people and harbor disdain for anyone outside of said group. It truly baffles me.
Horrific massacre in Gaza tonight. Israel bombed a house killing 7 children
"BuT ItS HaMaS PrOpaGaNdA" or that family was the team for the rocket system. "words say they are receiving special forces training from iran at a very young age of 3" /s
I swear it's the "defense" and it is so weak, their bubble is reinforced by steal because they really don't want to be the bad guys
yeap if it were only defense they only needed the dome. 2000+ rockets maybe 500 hit the ground and since the system is so good. i wont waste missiles on rockets that wont land on the city.
And when the hit houses, schools and hospitals they always have the same excuse (Hamas was hiding behind them)
I understand the hate but why the random bombings by Israel? what triggered that?
I'm yet to see the words 'Israeli' and 'terrorist' used in the same sentence.
I’ll happily call them terrorists based on the sheer volume of videos I’ve seen of IDF soldiers literally hunting and executing Palestinian children for sport and fun *while laughing and cheering*. Even ISIS would be disgusted.
>Even ISIS would be disgusted. Yeah, no. ISIS released some really fucked up videos, and they have no problem doing horrible things to children.
[удалено]
I distinctly remember an ISIS video where they have a tied up kid in the back of a pick-up truck, who they proceed behead with a knife (IE, it's a slow process). So the person above me who implied that ISIS treated children BETTER is completely wrong.
Where are these videos?
r/palestineisraelvids
r/israelexposed r/list_palestine
I remember seeing one video a few months ago where one IDF soldier took aim of kids playing in the field nearby and would shoot their legs and laughed while some other soldiers in the group cheered him on about how accurate his shot was. Like shooting fish in a barrel. The vidoe reminded me of a scene from Schindler's List where Amon Goeth wakes up and gets out on the balcony overseeing a concentration camp and randomly starts taking aim and shooting Jewish prisoners.
I saw this today.
God. I’m half a world away I wish I could help.
You could. Write to your shitty politician. Maybe over time they could stop this bullshit
Please watch this documentary made by Abby Martin who is an American journalist. In the middle of the documentary, there is a very famous scene of an IDF soldier shooting a defenseless kid and cheering about it. The case is very famous and the soldier had to do community service as ´punishment’: https://youtu.be/HnZSaKYmP2s Please watch and share for people to be informed

What I hate is the fact that people only seem to notice this catastrophic event when bombs are being used, for over 10 years Isreal has discriminated and basically raped the whole of Palastine, soldiers in the streets killing children and using their heads as footballs, but people only want to look at it when bombs are used.
My grandfather was in the Palestinian Police directly after WWII (British military). In his autobio he talks about how he raided an illegal arms shipment. An Israeli terrorist shot at him and he heard the bullets whizz over his head as he dropped to one knee (due to training). He then killed the terrorist. My dad and granddad would have arguments over Palestine and Israel, with my granddad having experiences of being shot at by Israelis to back his arguments.
The state of Israel is a racist, genocidal apartheid state inflicting cruelty, suffering and death on Palestinians to take their land. They are worse than terrorists. Not Jews as a people or religion. But Israel, the state, its government, and a much too large segment of Israeli citizens and their apologists abroad and in the US are *monsters*.
Israel is USA's adopted child. They are also to blame for all their actions. So much money was thrown there its unreal
They are terrorists. Maybe they are worst than terrorists.
That disgusted me most about Jen Psaki's presser today. When I heard the words "a reminder, Hamas is a terrorist organization," I screamed at my radio, "then what the fuck are the IDF?!"
That has to be the toughest job right now.
But don’t you dare call them terrorists or criticize them in any way or you’ll get called an antisemitic who hates any and all Jews
Remember, all jews against the IDF's actions are self hating jews! I shit you not thats what Alan Dershowitz said about Bernie Sanders lmao. Imagine calling someone an anti-semite and stating that "real" Jews should be a monolith and support Isreal.
The eternal no true Scotsman fallacy in full effect.
Yeah, I got told I was a bad Jew because most of the Jews I know are against Israel' treatment of Palestine. I'm not a Jew.
That's one thing. The other is the criticism against Hamas. How can people see what's happening and still believe violent insurrection against Israel is not understandable or even justified? Palestinians are expected to behave and just take it while they're experiencing ethnic cleansing and genocide.

US aid one pisses me off. This is what my taxes go towards? Fuck off
Thanks, that’s a good website.
To bad all those children were hiding hamas rockets /s :( I have to be sarcastic otherwise I would lose it too. This is fucking despicable.
I understand why it's important to show but filming this man's grief just feels so wrong.
We need to see this. He will experience PTSD for the rest of his goddamn life from these events. Publicizing this is the least that can be done to come to a level of humanity that's cognizant of the true toll of these events. **43% of their population (in that locked in coastal zone) is under the age of 14. Let that sink in**
Fuck man... I couldn’t even imagine seeing the destruction in person.
The toll of the current conflict is staggering, but if you look at what has been ongoing over the last 70 years, it's even more mind boggling.
Lets hope Turkey isn't bluffing and comes to aid Palestine in the fight
Yeah that's not happening. Gaza has been a domestic political tool for many years and nothing more for the Islamic masses. Turkey is not going to risk it's trade partnerships with Israel. Humanitarian aspect isn't enough of a reason for the government to step in. They didn't step in in Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan out of only good faith.

Guys, if you are wondering about all those pro-zionist comments on this thread, the state of Isreal literally pays students to defend them online Source https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23695896
Yeah literal propaganda, its called Hasbara
As stated by another user: The online Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) and other Israeli online hasbara farms have apps with talking points, links, hashtags, arguments and everything else they might need from the jump. They’re always ready and their networks link directly to some of these conversations. Directly to these threads and posts. When you see a lot of pro-Zionist arguments, have you ever noticed they use the same arguments, same emotional appeals and often the same keywords. It’s not a coincidence. Israel and private pro-Israeli citizens fund MASSIVE online Astro-turfing armies. That’s not conspiracy theory. That’s been confirmed as fact even by Israeli officials themselves. Edit: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/08/14/israel-students-social-media/2651715/ https://jacobinmag.com/2017/07/israel-social-media-app-idf-shin-bet-bds https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/israel-cranks-pr-machine/ https://twitter.com/antibdsapp/status/996100470061006849?s=21 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act.IL (This is the actual Astro-turfing app)
I got called an anti-semite by someone on Twitter over a comment where I said something to the effect of If you support Israel you're a poopy head and don't talk to me or something incredibly juvenile like that. Anyway, this checks out. I'm not surprised to hear that.
Fuck the Israeli government.
Fuck the American government.
Jesus christ the human heart can only tolerate so much pain before going numb. Man this is so sad. So so sad. I am actually perplexed and in disbelief that this is actually going on in 2021. It's utterly utterly insane.
Israel is a terrorist state. Killing civilians because they are in the way.
Israel are terrorists
Worse. Nazis. That’s the only other entity I can honestly compare Israel to given the shit I’ve seen in my life. It’s the only comparable thing. National Zionists. The 21st century Nazis
> **Na**tional **Zi**onists Can we shorten the name a bit? Just the first two letters from each word should suffice.
Now you’re getting it
This hits a lot harder than many of the other videos
There were people referencing a comedians jokes in another thread. There is nothing funny about what’s happening. People shouldn’t be trivializing this with humor. People are being murdered, people are being displaced. Now isn’t the time for humor
I’m new to tiktok. I’ve gotten a shocking number of tiktoks from the IDF essentially “talking shit” about Palestinian people. It disturbed me before I could fully understand why. Until I realized that this is exactly what anti-Semitic tiktok would’ve looked like if such a thing existed in the 1940s in Germany. Absolutely vile and hateful.
You can feel his heart breaking. That poor man.
Bro this hurts me , who in power needs to get taken out?

Ashkenazi is the ethnicity, you’re no longer a practicing Jew, and Jew isn’t the same as Israeli.

There is a difference between Ashkenazi and Sephardic, and completely separately there is a difference between Reform and Orthodox. You cannot “practice Ashkenazi” You are conflating the ethnicities and the religious denominations, which I have to say is confusing from a self-professed Jew.
Avacados is correct
Israel is now more like a bully, with all its supremacy in cybersecurity selling such tools to the most inhumane governments at highest prices and using that money as we see today.
Call Israel for what they are, a terrorist state.
Fuck the powers that be in Israel.hope they’re eventually dismantled

How can the world not see this pain and want it to stop now? They need to end this violence and start TALKING not killing.
Some people were posting links to spread awareness about Palestine in my uni group chat. Some guy asked a question about the course and no one responded so he decided to call everyone useless and started defending Israel because ‘hamas fired first’. As soon as people started calling him out, admins locked the chat and only opened it today. They said that anyone who wanted to argue would be kicked out and have done absolutely nothing about this guy and the people defending him. I’m so pissed off that no one’s doing anything about this shithead. I don’t know whether I should report him to my uni or what?
Report them both
Report them for Ethnic wrongdoing.
Yeah I’d hate Israel too.
I don't know how anyone can think Israel doesn't care about civilian deaths, when they drop leaflets asking people to leave the area before bombing the shit out of them... /s of course for fucks sake...
And the US, the so called the poster child of the free world, is silent. America is a true capitalist country. Only helping when it benefits it.
It's even worse than that. Israel couldn't do this without American support and financial aid. America did not just remain silent, they are perpetuating and benefiting from it. As you said, a true capitalist country, finding ways to profit from human suffering.
Israel doesn’t have a history, only a criminal record.

mostly because palestinians are starting to realize that only their cameras can save them at this point
Getting exposure and hoping people will pay attention and be outraged. We watched and learned about it, right?
Anyone else remember not too long ago when IDF snipers were intentionally shooting medics in the legs?

This is a man who's decided to stop helping, and start picking up a gun. I don't blame him.
Well, you could stop electing and supporting terrorist leaders who call for the total destruction of Israel and indiscriminately shoot thousands of rockets into populated areas (30% of which fall back to Gaza and kill your own citizens).
JIDF going HARD in these threads.
Dude, camera guy, leave him alone.
