Can someone provide context for this?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Isreal after the Hamas attack lies about beheaded babies to garner international sympathy.

Israel has bombed over 800+ civilians, 40% of which are women and children, within the past week, totalling to more casualties than Ukraine in their conflict with Russia, a year long conflict, in the span of one week.

Yeah the media should be ashamed of how that got out of control. It was one broken English quote from a random Israeli soldier without any fact checking.

The Israeli government promoted it first more than news, then Biden parroted it (while lying about seeing photos), which gave the story real legs. There were also supposed journalists all over Twitter spreading it.

These hoaxes and fake stories really do show how little fact checking happens in most newsrooms.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They outright knowingly lie, at the behest of our governments. NYT admitted it, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden exposed all this, not to mention Kiriuk (sp?), Manning and many others. The west propagandize and spy on their own citizens and each other. USA has been doing it since our inception and ratcheted it up with Hearst and the Spanish-American war.

The article you are quoting is published by the state-run Turkish media agency, with numbers sourced from the Palestinian Health Ministry. I don't think those are unbiased or trustworthy sources when considering how close they are to the conflict. Meanwhile, there have been over 9000 civilian deaths in Ukraine from the 2022 invasion according to multiple reliable sources, including the UN. Even if your source was reliable, your math is not.

We can't forget what we never had the chance to remember

Yes I'm sure Israel has never intentionally bombed civilian buildings. It's always an honest mistake. Don't be naive. That's like saying the US invaded Iraq because there really were WMDs (none were ever found) and not because we wanted someone more pliant controlling Iraqi oil. Good job speaking in meme format though.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

Oh wait you're serious? You still believe this shit?

Notice how your own source has nothing after 1991, the invasion of Iraq took place in 2003...

Your own source mentions nothing about finding WMDs in the Iraq invasion, it's a list of the times that Iraq used chemical weapons.

The majority of uses of chemical weapons were during the Iran Iraq war. By Iraq against Iran. During this conflict, Iraq was backed by the US and UK governments.

Can you even read?

Damn you make apologia for war crimes a lot don't you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And yet he has the nerve to call lemmygrad war crime enthusiasts. The hypocracy is off the chain.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Oh, you're serious

Fucking lmao

When Israel kills Hamas it's collateral damage from them going after civilians would explain the numbers better

They fired tank rounds into a house with hostages but go off.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Unironic projection

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

How the fuck do you manage to kill 700 children "accidentally" in a matter of days?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

If I kept accidentally killing babies I'd probably stop doing whatever I was doing that kept killing babies.

You know unless I liked killing babies.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Of course someone with the username "I love the bomb", defends the killing of civilians with bombs.

Wonder how much you'd love the bombs if they were dropped on your home?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

fuck you. How much collateral damage are you supposed to excuse in a fight against Hamas? Thousands of dead civilians?

Israel is an apartheid state and you're an apologist for war crimes

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Just move your population of over a million impoverished people crammed into the land like sardines, just go into the borders of another US dog, it's fiiiine. Don't worry, after we flatten your homes we, the vicious colonizers, will totally give all of your land back so you can live in the rubble."

Israel isn't entitled to move an entire population of Palestinians, nor to carpet bomb Palestinian land. Besides, they will inevitably just say that lots of Hamas members went with the civilians. Also, as others said, the warning was not much of one since they were bombing immediately anyway.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Did Israel warn the civilian convoys they were going to be bombing them on the roads that they had selected as safe passage? Maybe the ambulances just ignored the warnings I'm sure.
