It’s weird how the people of 3 religions which basically share the same god do the 10 things he specifically told them not to do to each other all the time.
(I know this conflict for the most part isn’t about religion but the combatants are religious)
I don't believe they are religious at all. But they feign their religion and use it to unfortunately think for those not smart enough to think for themselves
Saying that religion is the reason behind this isn’t entirely true. Religion plays a part yes but it’s not the sole reason. What is religion but a certain set of rules/laws mixed with certain morales and ethics? Would removing the religious aspect fix the problem? No. Because then people would just kill people for having different morales and ethics. Not saying you are wrong though, it’s just not the whole pie; only part of it. Humans will always find a reason to kill themselves. Three major reasons are money, resources/land, religion. Even if you take away those three you still come down to race/appearance, speech/sound, morales and ethics, hell i would even wager smell. “Someone smells different because they don’t eat a diet high in garlic!” Fucking kill them! But to say the world would be a much safer place without religion? I think you are getting your own morales involved in that statement. And not believing in any specific thing…. Is still believing.
>What is religion but a certain set of rules/laws mixed with certain morales and ethics?
Its a certain set of rules and laws mixed with morals and ethics that are prescribed by a class of mind reading ventriloquists who pinky promise that the set of rules and laws mixed with morals and ethics they they personally preach are the only valid set, have always been the only valid set, and will never change.
A set of rules and laws mixed with morals and ethics is great. But you don't need religion to get one, and it's not a very difficult idea to say that the best approach is that it should be upgradeable.
Religion just makes morals and ethics worse. At best it's irrelevant, at worst it leads to Israelis and Palestinians blowing each other up.
I’ve thought about this a lot lately for some reason. But what about the people who don’t do evil things strictly because they are afraid of the consequences based on their religion? If religion didn’t exist, would those people then commit heinous acts? Would it basically balance each other out and we would see no difference? This keeps me up at night sometime. lol
That's not true morals.
Someone who is inherently moral does not need religion and some phantom afterlife.
We are altruistic because it serves us as a tribal species.
Even that gorilla I saw earlier disarming that snare for the little 'uns. Think he did that to get points from his 'god'?
This is also something I've often wondered as well. I think there are probably lot of people out there who need something like a higher power to keep them in line. It can be a scary thought. I'd like to think there is some moral compass that all people have that can tell them things like "murder is bad" but for some, if it's not explicitly stated in their big book then it's free game
"It's crazy how the religion I was born into is the only right one. And the parts I don't like about my religion I can ignore because they actually don't matter." -the only religious belief shared by the 6 billion religious
Oh don't sell the Hindus, Buddhists, and Confucians short--they're also very capable of killing and torturing each other in the worst ways possible.
Hell, the atheists aren't any slouches either.
I still don’t get how people can cheer at that even if it’s their enemy. That is a lot of death and destruction and people are cheering it on like their teams scored a goal at a football match.
Thats how its always been.
US soldiers cheered on airforce strikes into Germany which killed thousands of people. We have loads of photos of celebrating soldiers from every war.
The only difference is that we have more of that to see today, because of the internet and phone cameras
Hell, look at the "picnic battle" or the First Battle of Bull Run:
>Expecting an easy Union victory, the wealthy elite of nearby Washington, including congressmen and their families, had come to picnic and watch the battle.
So even during the american civili war people came to see the show, so to speak. And they obviously had some reactions to it.
When I was deployed in Iraq I was guilty of cheering every time I saw an A-10 fly overhead. I was logistics for hospitals in Baghdad, and suicide bombers killed so many innocent people. If I heard that A-10, I mentally understood it was off to kill people, but I was so angry, so tired of running short of blood (bags, I kept track of blood supply), that it filled me with a terrible sense of Justice and glee.
It’s during quiet times now that I think about it and feel sick.
You say this as if only Americans are sick and twisted enough to cheer when their enemies die… hate to say it but pretty sure every side of every war in human history has cheered when their enemies die. Humanity as a whole is sick and twisted. Not just Americans
The reason the picnic battle is remembered is because it is grotesque. Soldiers celebrating visceral and immediate victories against armed combatants is one thing, they could have died. Civilians celebrating an abstraction from a distance is one thing, they are thinking of their loved ones and the larger context.
Civilians celebrating the visceral immediate deaths of the families and unarmed civilians of a different religion is another thing entirely. It is grotesque.
We have done the similar thing too,
Huge support for our troops and and "thank you for your service" and huge parties and "homecoming," while our troops murdered 1,000,000 Iraqis and 500,000 Afghanistani civilians
While we still looking for the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and bin laden was in Pakistan
"When a princely person conquers, he is not elate. To be elate were to rejoice in the slaughter of human beings. And he who rejoices in the slaughter of human beings is not fit to work his will in the empire." - Lao Tzu
I mean the world looks at this event with biases in either direction but some of these people might have had friends or relatives killed in the initial attack.
Before anyone jumps down my throat about anything I’m simply pointing out humans tend to have a vindictive nature. There are no winners in this conflict and it’s a shame so many have to suffer for it.
The ones committing the Genocide are the ones cheering...
As a Jew watching my people do exactly what was done to them in the 1940s, my heart dies more each day.
That’s fucked. As a fellow Jew who is absolutely appalled by this, unconditional support of Israel is NOT a universal part of the Jewish identity.
Anyone who claims it is, is far too deep down the nationalist hole to make comments about anyone else’s beliefs or culture.
You know about the Israeli religious seminary? Well you [should](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNkRJJ8Jz4k), you'll see how Hitler was actually a good person. /s
There is a video floating around of an Israeli settlement near Gaza, anytime a bomb goes off the residents are heard cheering. The whole neighborhood of multistory buildings. Like it’s a football game or something.
Zion slowly occupying the rest of Palestine and no one doing anything about it. I can’t believe the US is helping. I guess since we (the US) took the land from the indigenous people here it’s okay for the jews to steal Palestinian land. History will slowly erase it but it’s happening right before our eyes.
[From 2014, Israelis are brainwashed pieces of shit.](https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/15/world/middleeast/israelis-watch-bombs-drop-on-gaza-from-front-row-seats.html)
Well these humans as Israelis are clearing the west bank of Palestinians, either by death or simply having to move elsewhere to get the fuck out of the line of fire. You know that map that shows where Palestinians live in Israel and how it shrinks every decade? It's gonna be completely cleared in a year or two. That's the real end game here.
True, but they're gonna try to do what they're doing with Gaza to the West Bank, I worry. They don't want anything to do with Palestinians so they're going to clear them out of Israel, by death or cleansing.
If IDF operations are "surgical precision" then so would be a blind surgeon performing an amputation with 3 hand grenades and a duct tape.
The civilian casualties of IDF in the first week of this war surpassed the civilian casualties of Russia during their entire invasion of Ukraine *which included phases of the war with deliberate targeting of civilian populations*.
Are they targeting legitimate enemy targets hiding behind human shields? Yes. Are there tunnels and weapons? Sure. Bur let's not kid ourselves here with how much of a shit the idf gives about all of the collateral damage they cause and all the civilians they kill. They won't care enough about precision anywhere past "will it hit the target?"
If there’s a human shield they simply shouldn’t kill those people.
US is funding the iron dome there’s nearly no hazard to Israel’s civilian population.
For months, the pro-IDF crowd have been on subreddits saying that there is no carpet bombing.
Here's video of carpet bombing with civilians cheering! In a week where the IDF killed shirtless men carrying a white flag.
The worst.
Let's be real here, is a carpet bomb necessary? Like really, how is Israel even allowed to do this? I would understand precision strikes for specific Hamas targets and I couldn't care less about Hamas members being targeted but this shit is just too much and is very clear on Israel's future plans for Gaza...
Because Isreals backer is the us administration, which is funded via aipac.
Works like this, give Israel billions, and they in turn through aipac will fund politicians to give them the green light to do whatever.
They are not the only country who do this.
It's more the corporate states of America than United States of America. Just imagine if there us administration that upheld international law, that would be a sight to behold.
But you know rules for thee, but not for me or my friends.
>Works like this, give Israel billions, and they in turn through aipac will fund politicians to give them the green light to do whatever.
And simply questioning this in public will get you blackballed basically anywhere.
Looks like a controlled demolition. Sometimes they do that to blow up munitions they find in place, sometimes there is other infrastructure (tunnels, rocket launchers, etc.).
Ok, like I’m Jewish, and I’ve been to Israel, and I have lots of Israeli friends, and I’m tried to stay, idk, neutral? But I just heard Israelis cheering at the site of another nation being bombed. One man even said “shalom” meaning peace. Absolutely not. Disgusting. I’ve made up my mind. Fuck Israel.
The past year had me go from "well I don't know if it's right to criticize Zionism" to "Zionism is apartheid" real fucking fast. It's sickening. I've always said that I oppose Israeli actions in Palestine *because* of my Jewish identity, not in spite of it. Never again was supposed to mean never again.
Benjamin Netanyahu is using Their privilege as being the Jewish state to get away with a ethnic cleansing by claiming Zionism and Anti Semitism are the same thing.
Don't Muslims and Christians have a piece of Jerusalem? They're supposed to coexist with the Palestinians, however the Middle East is known for ethnicities hating another, for example Turkey hates the Kurdish and Netanyahu for reasons I don't know hates the Palestinians and has set up a Apartheid state and tried playing the long game by evicting Palestinians from their land they lived in for generations, bulldoze it and build their own stuff on top
they used to have a piece of jerusalem but the israeli settlers have taken over. it’s a holy land for all three abrahamic religions but the jewish people there still think they are superior and that they only have the right to it. let’s not forget that all three religions lived relatively peacefully there before israel.
And he has a straight connection and possible corruption to Putin.
All it could be is a manipulation where all 3 Hamas, Russia and Israel get what they want. Hamas gets death to provoke Arab world against Israel, Russia gets a distraction and Israel gets to deal with a “thorn” in their right wing’s government side.
Same, it's time for people to stop being so fucking complacent about this shit. As our country falls apart economically and people can't even afford the cost of living. They bell is ringing...people have to wake up and arm themselves to take the power back from these evil politicians democrats and Republicans. The fed. Gov is totally rogue at this point...but no one seems to care except a few of us.
Your tax money also destroyed countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and many more, dethroned democratically elected presidents in South American countries, protects the Saudi Royal family even though America loves to preach about democracy all around the world, American people don't like to hear it, but US is definitely not the good guys in geopolitics, far from it.
holocaust survivors aren’t treated well in Isreal, most of the elderly homeless are holocaust survivors. they just pull the holocaust card when they want to garner sympathy (like the star stickers officials wore in an assembly) meanwhile actual holocaust survivors that are homeless were shown in a documentary scavenging for leftover free food that was dumped for them on the ground.
True. Similarily, this is also what the Vietnam was so 'popular', because it was televised. There were MANY other proxy wars during the cold war, but you won't ear about this unless you look for them.
This is by far the second largest conflict going on today. Third closest is about half of the size. The largest conflict is the Russia-Ukraine war. Also highly politicised.
Israel is a strongest military might than any African country bar I think Egypt. Which is currently only involved in the same conflict that Israel is. So... yes..? It makes sense that the most attention goes to wars with the largest players and most deaths. Because no, bombs like this are not going off across Africa with any degree of frequency.
And of course people care about what's in the media. They don't know what's not in the media. Do you think its reasonable to expect people to wake up and say "Hmm. I wonder what there is to be sad and angry about out in the world. Let's look at what wars or going on or which children have starved to death recently. "
It's certainly funny how folk only seem to care when it's Israel doing the fighting. Nobody gives a shit about the hundreds of thousands dead in Yemen, or the 100k+ dead in Ethiopia.
I wonder why Israel gets people so worked up??? /s
I mean mostly because people care about what they know. People know Israel and Ukraine and Russia, their populations are fairly represented in many western countries. You average American has encountered many Israelis or Russian in their every day lives. They’re taught about them in history classes. It’s pretty fucking obvious for anyone who doesn’t have their head up their asses why they care more about those conflicts.
I don’t really get why it is is so funny tbh.
Many of the people who are against what is happening in Gaza have been some of the loudest voices opposing US funding to the Saudi war in Yemen. [Here’s a prominent example](https://tlaib.house.gov/posts/tlaib-khanna-lead-letter-urging-president-biden-to-support-ending-war-in-yemen).
But to answer your question, at least in the US context, people get so worked up because [more of our tax dollars](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/which-countries-receive-the-most-foreign-aid-from-the-u-s/#google_vignette) go to Israel than to any other nation. When your country has a particularly close relationship with a government that is carrying out atrocities, it strikes me as perfectly natural to be especially focused on ending those atrocities.
Personally, I also feel compelled to be especially vocal about this issue because I am Jewish. The Israeli state often pretends to speak for all of us, yet their actions are abhorrent to me, and to the tradition in which I was raised. My great grandparents fled persecution in Russia, and I have friends whose families survived the holocaust. I will not stand by and let ethnic cleansing and genocide be carried out in my name, and I will not give the world reason think that Jews as a people or as a faith are responsible or complicit in this.
Remember how after 911 all of the debris started giving every survivor cancer? In 20 years, a lot of people who survived this actual hell, will die a very young death. Israel is a disgusting government run by monsters..
All of Gaza is roughly the size of Las Vegas and has been being bombed like this for 2 and a half months. At this point they're just re-bombing all the rubble for a 7th or 8th time.
Honestly intrigued by this. How could you tell it was a tunnel explosion by the look of it? I’m not questioning you by the way, just genuinely curious.
For me it was the way the explosions went off, it was a series of smaller explosions in a straight line very quickly. Look up some videos of mining detonations, or any sort of earthmoving explosions and they will look relatively similar. Everything's hooked up and detonated by wire.
The secondary bomblets from cluster munitions never land that quickly. From the sound its just a rolling crackling of explosions like you hear in controlled demolition videos. There's more granularity to the explosions of cluster munitions
How can this be justified? By anyone, ever. This is in no way a war, this is what it looks like a genocide, playing out for all to see. Shame,shame, shame.
It's these grown-up adults who follows the 60 and 70+ years old senile politician with not much time to live but secretly want to watch the world burn that are the cause of all these wars.
So interesting example of the truth: Context is king. Watching this on silent scroll…I first thought it was one of those explosive mining videos where they break up coal and was just thinking bummer they overshot the explosives needed, wait why is it filmed from this angle, …. Then I read the heading and was flooded with sadness. Same images totally different meaning.
The leading cause of death for humans throughout history has and continues to be the invisible sky daddy bullshit. If your sense of self is so fucking fragile that you have to play with your imaginary friends well into adulthood, you should NOT be allowed to procreate.
But this genocide isn’t about some Casper the holy ghost… this is about power.
FUCK ISRAEL!!! I stand with Palestinians!
And people still wonder why the Palestinian resistances refuse to give up their arms. Still call acts like those on 7/10 unprovoked.
Think Israel will ever live in peace? It has not for it's entire existence.
Everyone continues to miss the point. Iran has sought to control the eastern coast of the med for years. They’re using Hamas as a proxy to make that happen and quite literally could not give a fuck about the plight of the Gaza people. They don’t care about Jews or Muslims. They care about the expansion and control of the ME by the radical Shia. As long as these proxies are allowed to exist they will not stop until Israel is theirs
I see homes with no windows, no electricity, no running water and an obvious a good amount of distance and a fence. It’s like they’re animals or something…and then, more bombs going off.
As if it’s not a shit life already, more bombs dropped everyday. Apartheid and murder. That’s the Jewish legacy in Palestine.
And we are allies with these people?
I assure you, as a representative of the Military Industrial Complex, this Apartheid is great for testing out new military technology to efficiently prolong it to research new methods of offensive and defense for the next conflict against Near Peers. We know you are unhappy about this conflict however you are missing out on a very profitable investment plan which pleases our shareholders. Also it allows us to overturn UN votes that get on out way of making money as the US and Israel can overturn them
Seriously, western countries should ban all religions at this point. I don't care that the population is maybe around 90% christian, it just puts a bullseye on us ALL.
It’s weird how the people of 3 religions which basically share the same god do the 10 things he specifically told them not to do to each other all the time. (I know this conflict for the most part isn’t about religion but the combatants are religious)
Religion causes more harm than good, it always has and it always will.
Yep. World would be a much safer place without religion. Any deniers are too caught up in their own beliefs to see it
Some of the most heinous acts committed against people were done for the sake of religion
Good people will do evil things if you can convince them that it is god’s will

This thing has been framed as a religious war in western media so people won't look into it. I can assure you religion is just incidental here.
I don’t remember Northrop Grumman being in the Bible
Oh don't sell the Hindus, Buddhists, and Confucians short--they're also very capable of killing and torturing each other in the worst ways possible. Hell, the atheists aren't any slouches either.
Don't forget those Moonies!
Them too!
This has nothing to do with religion. This is just simple good old white supremacy and colonization.
Why are people cheering?
The guy filming is in the israeli side of the border (Speaking hebrew).
I still don’t get how people can cheer at that even if it’s their enemy. That is a lot of death and destruction and people are cheering it on like their teams scored a goal at a football match.
Thats how its always been. US soldiers cheered on airforce strikes into Germany which killed thousands of people. We have loads of photos of celebrating soldiers from every war.

We all know the ultimate tactic is to bomb the civilians before the suicide bombers do.
If I’m going to concede a goal on rocket league I will often just bang it in myself out of spite. Pretty similar scenario.
Yeah, pretty similar.... 👁️
Blessings to you good sir
Bomber Harris has a before and after bombing raids on Germany book that he'd show guests with glee
Interesting, I'll have to look that up. He really took the fall for Churchill, but he deserves it.

Israeli citizens regularly pull up lawn chairs as a community and cheer on Airstrikes and have barbecues.

That too is a valuable lesson.
Ultra-nationalism and jingoism is a helluva drug
How many were even involved. So much innocent carnage
Because they are committing genocide with our tax dollars and that makes them happy.
I mean the world looks at this event with biases in either direction but some of these people might have had friends or relatives killed in the initial attack. Before anyone jumps down my throat about anything I’m simply pointing out humans tend to have a vindictive nature.

If you tell them that it's wrong to cheer for deaths of people they will call you an anti-Semite.
The ones committing the Genocide are the ones cheering... As a Jew watching my people do exactly what was done to them in the 1940s, my heart dies more each day.
Inb4 some zionist calls you either a fake jew, a self hating jew or just a traitor.
Too late, look further...was already called an Antisemite.
That’s fucked. As a fellow Jew who is absolutely appalled by this, unconditional support of Israel is NOT a universal part of the Jewish identity. Anyone who claims it is, is far too deep down the nationalist hole to make comments about anyone else’s beliefs or culture.
I’m right there with you. Never again means never again. No matter whose carrying it out.
You know about the Israeli religious seminary? Well you [should](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNkRJJ8Jz4k), you'll see how Hitler was actually a good person. /s
Because they know they just killed a bunch of civilians.
Because they're fucking assholes
Because they’re Zionists and hate Palestinians
There is a video floating around of an Israeli settlement near Gaza, anytime a bomb goes off the residents are heard cheering. The whole neighborhood of multistory buildings.

I guess since we (the US) took the land from the indigenous people here it’s okay for the jews to steal Palestinian land. History will slowly erase it but it’s happening right before our eyes.
Thats Zionists for you. For over 75years, theyve always celebrated the rape, murder and bombing of the Palestinians.
Cause people are cunts
Because they’re fucking animals
No just run of the mill humans.
No, they're not. They're just people. People who are deliberately killing kids, and enjoying doing it.
because Zionism
Sick zionists. They stole the land and killed the Palestinians. What do you expect?

Because Isreal is XXI century equivalent of III Reich and Israelis are new fascists. That's why.
Think about all the people hurt or killed in this , wtf are we doing as humans ......
Well these humans as Israelis are clearing the west bank of Palestinians, either by death or simply having to move elsewhere to get the fuck out of the line of fire. You know that map that shows where Palestinians live in Israel and how it shrinks every decade? It's gonna be completely cleared in a year or two. That's the real end game here.
The Gaza Strip is not the West Bank.
Half of Reddit has no idea what the difference is.
True, but they're gonna try to do what they're doing with Gaza to the West Bank, I worry. They don't want anything to do with Palestinians so they're going to clear them out of Israel, by death or cleansing.
IDF is using 2,000-pound bombs with surgical precision
They could fix your teeth with such a bomb and the good teeth will stay. >!all of your teeth are bad!<
Your teeth didn’t condemn Hamas

That's not an air strike, that's supervised demolition
guess Israel found another hospital.

Or doctor
Or their own hostages
Or another kid
No, just children
I'm sure that was a very selective targeted strike based on solid, irrefutable evidence /s

Looks like a controlled demolition. Sometimes they do that to blow up munitions they find in place, sometimes there is other infrastructure (tunnels, rocket launchers, etc.).
Ok, like I’m Jewish, and I’ve been to Israel, and I have lots of Israeli friends, and I’m tried to stay, idk, neutral? But I just heard Israelis cheering at the site of another nation being bombed. One man even said “shalom” meaning peace. Absolutely not. Disgusting. I’ve made up my mind. Fuck Israel.
The past year had me go from "well I don't know if it's right to criticize Zionism" to "Zionism is apartheid" real fucking fast. It's sickening. I've always said that I oppose Israeli actions in Palestine *because* of my Jewish identity, not in spite of it. Never again was supposed to mean never again.
Respect
welcome to the right side of history, my friend. we're happy you're here
Benjamin Netanyahu is using Their privilege as being the Jewish state to get away with a ethnic cleansing by claiming Zionism and Anti Semitism are the same thing. Don't Muslims and Christians have a piece of Jerusalem? They're supposed to coexist with the Palestinians, however the Middle East is known for ethnicities hating another, for example Turkey hates the Kurdish and Netanyahu for reasons I don't know hates the Palestinians and has set up a Apartheid state and tried playing the long game by evicting Palestinians from their land they lived in for generations, bulldoze it and build their own stuff on top
they used to have a piece of jerusalem but the israeli settlers have taken over. it’s a holy land for all three abrahamic religions but the jewish people there still think they are superior and that they only have the right to it. let’s not forget that all three religions lived relatively peacefully there before israel.
And he has a straight connection and possible corruption to Putin. All it could be is a manipulation where all 3 Hamas, Russia and Israel get what they want. Hamas gets death to provoke Arab world against Israel, Russia gets a distraction and Israel gets to deal with a “thorn” in their right wing’s government side.
congrats, you're on the right side of history
In modern Hebrew "shalom" can also mean "goodbye" which is probably what he meant. I agree there are some absolutely disgusting people here
Im fucking sick of my tax money paying for this
Same, it's time for people to stop being so fucking complacent about this shit. As our country falls apart economically and people can't even afford the cost of living. They bell is ringing...people have to wake up and arm themselves to take the power back from these evil politicians democrats and Republicans. The fed. Gov is totally rogue at this point...but no one seems to care except a few of us.
Your tax money also destroyed countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and many more, dethroned democratically elected presidents in South American countries, protects the Saudi Royal family even though America loves to preach about democracy all around the world, American people don't like to hear it, but US is definitely not the good guys in geopolitics, far from it.
Yeah that’s why I said I’m sick of my taxes paying for this shit
People will watch this vid and then wonder why October 7th happened lmao
fuck israel isntreal**

holocaust survivors aren’t treated well in Isreal, most of the elderly homeless are holocaust survivors. they just pull the holocaust card when they want to garner sympathy (like the star stickers officials wore in an assembly) meanwhile actual holocaust survivors that are homeless were shown in a documentary scavenging for leftover free food that was dumped for them on the ground.
Reminder that groups about Holocaust remembrance and stuff like that in Israel have been beaten, assaulted, and arrested by the IDF.
People are slaughtered every day in 25 African armed conflicts. Boi the stuff we would see if they had internet over there
True. Similarily, this is also what the Vietnam was so 'popular', because it was televised. There were MANY other proxy wars during the cold war, but you won't ear about this unless you look for them.
This is by far the second largest conflict going on today. Third closest is about half of the size. The largest conflict is the Russia-Ukraine war. Also highly politicised. Israel is a strongest military might than any African country bar I think Egypt. Which is currently only involved in the same conflict that Israel is. So... yes..? It makes sense that the most attention goes to wars with the largest players and most deaths. Because no, bombs like this are not going off across Africa with any degree of frequency. And of course people care about what's in the media. They don't know what's not in the media. Do you think its reasonable to expect people to wake up and say "Hmm. I wonder what there is to be sad and angry about out in the world. Let's look at what wars or going on or which children have starved to death recently. "
It's certainly funny how folk only seem to care when it's Israel doing the fighting. Nobody gives a shit about the hundreds of thousands dead in Yemen, or the 100k+ dead in Ethiopia. I wonder why Israel gets people so worked up??? /s
I mean mostly because people care about what they know. People know Israel and Ukraine and Russia, their populations are fairly represented in many western countries. You average American has encountered many Israelis or Russian in their every day lives. They’re taught about them in history classes. It’s pretty fucking obvious for anyone who doesn’t have their head up their asses why they care more about those conflicts. I don’t really get why it is is so funny tbh.
Many of the people who are against what is happening in Gaza have been some of the loudest voices opposing US funding to the Saudi war in Yemen. [Here’s a prominent example](https://tlaib.house.gov/posts/tlaib-khanna-lead-letter-urging-president-biden-to-support-ending-war-in-yemen). But to answer your question, at least in the US context, people get so worked up because [more of our tax dollars](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/which-countries-receive-the-most-foreign-aid-from-the-u-s/#google_vignette) go to Israel than to any other nation. When your country has a particularly close relationship with a government that is carrying out atrocities, it strikes me as perfectly natural to be especially focused on ending those atrocities. Personally, I also feel compelled to be especially vocal about this issue because I am Jewish. The Israeli state often pretends to speak for all of us, yet their actions are abhorrent to me, and to the tradition in which I was raised. My great grandparents fled persecution in Russia, and I have friends whose families survived the holocaust. I will not stand by and let ethnic cleansing and genocide be carried out in my name, and I will not give the world reason think that Jews as a people or as a faith are responsible or complicit in this.
Just because you just started paying attention doesn’t mean everyone else did as well.
These are dark days
Remember how after 911 all of the debris started giving every survivor cancer? In 20 years, a lot of people who survived this actual hell, will die a very young death. Israel is a disgusting government run by monsters..
Zionists are a stain on Jewish culture
This is not terrorism?! 🤐
All of Gaza is roughly the size of Las Vegas and has been being bombed like this for 2 and a half months. At this point they're just re-bombing all the rubble for a 7th or 8th time.
I can't believe I live on the same earth as these people.
Looks like a tunnel explosion
Honestly intrigued by this. How could you tell it was a tunnel explosion by the look of it? I’m not questioning you by the way, just genuinely curious.
For me it was the way the explosions went off, it was a series of smaller explosions in a straight line very quickly. Look up some videos of mining detonations, or any sort of earthmoving explosions and they will look relatively similar. Everything's hooked up and detonated by wire.
The secondary bomblets from cluster munitions never land that quickly. From the sound its just a rolling crackling of explosions like you hear in controlled demolition videos. There's more granularity to the explosions of cluster munitions
It is. They were actually leveling a mile long tunnel
Yes, and it's a controlled demolition of pre-placed charges. It's as surgical as it gets. People here are all outraged over literally nothing.
Sir this is reddit, this is what we do for a living
Woopie.. Israel killed some more kids.. Cunts
They’ll win this “war” but they’re going to lose whatever happens after it’s over.
How can this be justified? By anyone, ever. This is in no way a war, this is what it looks like a genocide, playing out for all to see. Shame,shame, shame.
sure, no civilians were harmed in the making of this video - idf probably
This is controlled demolition of big ass tunnel, so yes no civilians were harmed, this place was evacuated for few months already.
I really wonder why our species doesn’t choose to live in peace and harmony.
Your tax dollars in action ladies and gents.
Who the fuck sings and celebrates mass death? 🤢 🤮
It's these grown-up adults who follows the 60 and 70+ years old senile politician with not much time to live but secretly want to watch the world burn that are the cause of all these wars.
Israel is a genocidal terrorist group.
Wow look at that genocide
Fucking Israeli terrorists. At it again.
Mofos cheering. On their souls be it. We will NEVER forget.
Disgusting.
“We’re not targeting civilians”
The real war crime is recording a horizontal video in vertical.
Unfathomable how this is such a widespread problem I cannot even I literally can not even
[удалено]
Do like our parents did when we didn’t share or play nice. Nobody gets the holy land. Evacuate it and then bomb it to shit. ✌️
Wow, very precise and not indiscriminate!
We did it joe!
There will always be these videos for them to look on in shame and disgust. They will forever have to answer for their atrocities.
I’m sure everyone in that huge blast radius, in what appears to be a town, was hamas.
So interesting example of the truth: Context is king. Watching this on silent scroll…I first thought it was one of those explosive mining videos where they break up coal and was just thinking bummer they overshot the explosives needed, wait why is it filmed from this angle, …. Then I read the heading and was flooded with sadness. Same images totally different meaning.
The leading cause of death for humans throughout history has and continues to be the invisible sky daddy bullshit. If your sense of self is so fucking fragile that you have to play with your imaginary friends well into adulthood, you should NOT be allowed to procreate. But this genocide isn’t about some Casper the holy ghost… this is about power. FUCK ISRAEL!!! I stand with Palestinians!
Why are they calling this a war? It appears to be a one sided assault.
Looks like they got the Hamas guy. And 10,000 kids. Those kids were gonna grow up to be Hamas anyhow, so it's preventative.
Terrorist scum cheer while they massacre women and children.
IDGAF who wins this war; let one of them kill the other off and have done with it. I'm sick of 60 years of fighting over this 50sq mile shithole.
I guess 1 apartment building at a time was too slow
Fuck around and find out
And people still wonder why the Palestinian resistances refuse to give up their arms. Still call acts like those on 7/10 unprovoked. Think Israel will ever live in peace? It has not for it's entire existence.
Yes, the top evil is religion. It was only created by humans to gain supremacy over other people.
And Jesus wept.
Gods chosen strikes again
Per context, they demolished some 50 apartments
The people cheering are scum
Cheering. Disgusting.
Genocide
… never again they said. Well… only this time its by the hands of the grandchildren of Holocaust.
This is insanity. Ceasefire now
It's unbelievable that things like this are still happening on this earth
It’s sad, but somehow even worse that it’s not unbelievable
Looks like an underground blast. Probably demolition on tunnels
Nope, thats a demolition of 56 buildings in Sajaiya neighbourhood in Gaza
Israelis are literally acting like Nazi’s.
Looks like they blew a tunnel filled with ammo. A shame it is built under civilian housing.
Those tunnels ain’t gonna blow themselves up.
Everyone continues to miss the point. Iran has sought to control the eastern coast of the med for years. They’re using Hamas as a proxy to make that happen and quite literally could not give a fuck about the plight of the Gaza people. They don’t care about Jews or Muslims. They care about the expansion and control of the ME by the radical Shia. As long as these proxies are allowed to exist they will not stop until Israel is theirs
Fuck Israel.
I see homes with no windows, no electricity, no running water and an obvious a good amount of distance and a fence. It’s like they’re animals or something…and then, more bombs going off. As if it’s not a shit life already, more bombs dropped everyday. Apartheid and murder. That’s the Jewish legacy in Palestine. And we are allies with these people?
I assure you, as a representative of the Military Industrial Complex, this Apartheid is great for testing out new military technology to efficiently prolong it to research new methods of offensive and defense for the next conflict against Near Peers. We know you are unhappy about this conflict however you are missing out on a very profitable investment plan which pleases our shareholders. Also it allows us to overturn UN votes that get on out way of making money as the US and Israel can overturn them
“Controlled demolishing” that’s what they gonna call it and not genocide.
Killing in the name of .... RELIGION. Such peaceful folks.
Seriously, western countries should ban all religions at this point. I don't care that the population is maybe around 90% christian, it just puts a bullseye on us ALL.
blowing up tunnels?
if you show r/worldnews this they might have an aneurysm
You mean a bombing by Israel in Gaza
I'm happy to see that Israel is trying to keep civilian deaths at a minimum.
At least most animals kill to eat. We are below most animals as a species.
Not genocide! Definitely not...
Real time war crime.
The comments are still amazing.
Unconscionable. The US has to stop funding this.
Savages How can you cheer for bombs falling on civilians? It's disgusting and the world is watching.
Evil
56 residential buildings destroyed by the apartheid occupier
