7 IDF soldiers dead after fighting each other by accident

TRAPPING 2 MILLION PEOPLE IN AN OPEN AIR CONCENTRATION CAMP! FIRST ONE TO LIBERATE THEMSELVES GETS THEIR LAND BACK! 💲🏡💲 :mr-beast:

If the sub had somehow survived and hadn't been banned, it absolutely would have been fucking banned this week lol.

This seems fine

In messages circulated on Friday, State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: “de-escalation/ceasefire,” “end to violence/bloodshed” and “restoring calm.”

israel gave permission to the Red Crescent medical teams to enter the bombarded areas to rescue the wounded. As soon as they entered, they were directly targeted, and the paramedics were killed.

Israel delenda est.

very awesome that NBC just uncritically reported that hamas is beheading babies just 10 minutes ago on air even though literally nothing like that has been confirmed whatsoever

Al Jazeera currently showing close-ups of the Israeli use of white phosphorus, multiple camera angles and the fires captured clear as day

Seth Crosby is a Director at the Department of Genetics at Washington University

listen here kiddo, i get it. i dont like the two state solution

and quite frankly, i dont wanna support hamas, it feels like supporting terrorists

but im gonna do it, you wanna know why?

because the alternative is a fucking genocide

a genocide! its a genocide!

so maybe we can have a conversation around dismantling the terror network when a genocide isnt happening

maybe we can do that later kiddo. champ. chief. maybe we can talk about it later

I stg i'm gonna get sitewide permabanned from reddit if i keep going there with all this going on, i refuse to hold my tongue at any of these disgusting fucks calling the oppressed striking back against their oppressors "tErRoRiStS"

My wish for a century of humiliation for the west grows by the hour

Imagine, you're Palestinian, born in a refugee camp, your family is from Asqalan. You managed to kill several colonizers but you're caught, and you're condemned to life in prison. You spend 22 years behind bars before being liberated in a prisoner exchange, and then after a few years you're elected head of Hamas in Gaza, and manage to project - then and for years - the image of a pragmatic, someone ready to collaborate. Disgusting words like "reconciliation" are bandied about.

Meanwhile you're implementing the greatest Palestinian military action in 50 years, completely secretly.

King shit

The attack on that rave certainly really does feel like it's super fucking symbolic. Think about it, bougie settlers holding a treat rave party next to an open air concentration camp. The inmates break free and do some righteous violence. The media knows it, Israel knows it, it's so slimy the way it's being used along with the beheaded babies to drum up the war. Israel is such a wormy, guilty, evil country, that it has to know deep down this blowback was decades rightfully in the making.

Three important tactics to follow when commenting on the crisis on :

• Browse by New or Rising. You want to get in early.
• Make liberal use reddit's block feature. Respond to and then immediately block any Zionists. Because of reddit's stupid design of their block feature, they will be unable to comment on any comment trees where your comment is higher up on the parent comment heirarchy. If you are down in the "show more comments" are, go back up to the top and respond to higher comments, which will lock the people you have blocked out of comments below. The downside is that users you have blocked comment before you, you can't respond, but that's what alts and also the first tactic is for.
• If you get blocked first, find their account and block them back. It will lock you both out of the comment tree.

Israel is really an excellent essay on how nation-states are formed, the ways in which they are painfully artificial, and the lengths and violence their architects had to go to to create a singular "nation" with no ethnic or linguistic dissidents who could oppose the project. Like i think it's hard to convey to modern people that nation-states as a concept are really only 2-300 years old, that people prior to that didn't think of themselves as "Americans" or "English" or "German" the way we do, and that the creation of these entities required both a lot of theoretical development and I guess media or propaganda, but also a lot of very real violence, both cultural and physical. Paris's careful cultural genocide against minority French language groups and cultures to enforce Parisian language and culture across France, the creation of Germanness to unite the German language groups, that's all way in the past, but you can watch Israel do it over the last 70ish years - Creating everyday Hebrew out of liturgical Hewbrew and making it a commonly used language in Israel, basically re-writing Jewish theology and religion to suit the needs of the nation-state, the use of overt and clandestine violence against competing ideologies and interpretations of zionism, as well as non-zionists. It's much easier to see.

Libs: No one is defending Hamas' actions

Me:

Technically it's more that I am broadly defending Palestians rights to launch attacks in Israel under the right of self defense that is a right of all nations, and that Israel made Hamas inevitable through it's actions.

Holy shit

holy fucking shit

they're gaslighting us almost the same fucking way they were during the beginning of the ukraine war, but somehow its even worse

Its almost word for word, and now they're going to get off on killing an entire civilization just to own the ruskies

"When defending your homeland from a foreign aggressor, absolutely no act violent resistance is unjustified, even joining the Waf-"

"You're reading off of last week's script, here's this ones"

...whoops, what I meant to say was "This unprovoked act of aggression is absolutely unconscionable, there is no justification for this violence. We must send unlimited and unrestricted support to the IDF immediately"

Israeli Defense Minister orders siege on Gaza: "There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly."

The Palestinians in Gaza are being referred to like the Germans referred to the Jews in Auschwitz. Absolutely depraved. This statement will be in the history books for centuries so we will Never Forget the barbaric Zionist regime and their crimes.

edited this comment from "Gaza has become Auschwitz" to the above so that it's a little less of a direct comparison, which is inappropriate (besides, as pointed out, there are better historical analogies)

"Israel has a right to defend itself, and surgically target Hamas targets"

strikes multiple ambulances with artillery

Yesterday my roommate said he heard there was going to be a pogrom in the city today (NYC). coworker yesterday and this morning said there was going to be terrorist attacks.

What the actual fuck is going on with people?

Edit: I'm going to times square to investigate. I guarantee it's absolutely nothing

Edit 2: it was nothing.

Liberals: I would support the oppressed rising up against their oppressors

Oppressed: rise up against their oppressors

Liberals: Terrorists! They should have accepted the peace offered by their oppressors! Both sides are bad, but we need to send billions of dollars worth of weapons to the oppressors so they can put the oppressed back in their place!

Most telegram comments are heinous, but sometimes you get a banger

I know it's been said before, but it's wild how quick libs/westies flipped from "we support Palestine" to "Israel should finish the genocide" basically overnight. It really is like there's a switch being flipped in an office somewhere to change the signal or something

Apparently theres an isreali leftist in their parliament?

“The Israeli government, which is a fascist government, supports, encourages, and leads pogroms against the Palestinians. There is an ethnic cleansing going on. It was obvious the writing was on the wall, written in the blood of the Palestinians – and unfortunately now Israelis as well,” he added.

Thank you Israel for uniting the Arab World again. Even racist Saudis on Twitter are now realizing that there's literally nothing redeemable about the West anymore. It's really cool how they all realized that our lives aren't valuable to them, they'll freeze our assets like they did with the Russians if we ever piss them off and the average Westerner supports the killing of Arabs without batting an eye. Arabs and Muslims only have the people of the third world on their side, the westerners are useless.

Collective punishment of Palestinian people. A humanitarian crisis. The imminent threat and certainty of worse to come. These are not defensive actions by Israel. These are crimes. On the world's watch.

No equivocating, no "right to defend itself", no straight to the point and calling out the injustice.

Average Israel supporter: Why yes, I do root for the humans in Avatar. How did you know?

Celtic fans pledge ‘unequivocal support’ for Palestine despite backlash

I’ve just become a soccer fan in the last year. My team - the one that got me into the sport - is an MLS team but I might have to also be a Celtic fan. They seem very based - at least the fans, Green Brigade, etc. The owners can fuck off with their bullshit.

I love being called anti-semitic by the same people arming actual Nazis

BREAKING — Israel has only given two hours to evacuate Al Awda Hospital in Gaza, Doctors Without Borders says

“Our staff are still treating patients.

We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.“

It would be nice if the US media took a break from non-stop interviewing Israeli families with people kidnapped by Hamas. Instead - the media could at least mention Israel's relentless raining death and destruction on Gaza.

Every eyewitness account from friends in #Gaza is the same: Israel's bombing is like nothing they've ever experienced before. No pretense of "targeted strikes" on Hamas, just wanton, indiscriminate destruction of whole neighborhoods. Entire families obliterated in an instant.

"My eldest son is 9, he asked me if he died would he go to heaven or hell?" our @MedicalAidPal friend and colleague Mahmoud Shalabi told us. A thought playing out in the minds of a million children currently under bombardment with no escape. How can any human heart accept this?

A world rightly horrified just a day ago by stories of entire families killed, or huddling terrified together for hours wondering if they would live, is... suddenly absolutely fine with it when it is a different family just a few miles away? How do we account for this?

Nitter

I hope all those centrists in LGBTQ+ communities are well-aware that if Israel gets away with slaughtering 2.2 million Palestinians, if the "garden", the "international community" turns a blind eye to it, then what's stopping them from turning a blind eye when the far right eventually goes full throttle on trans genocide?

Saudi Arabia has ended normalisation talks with Israel

If Palestine has one million supporters i am one of them.

If Palestine has one thousand supporters i am one of them.

if Palestine has ten supporters I am one of them.

If Palestine has only one supporter then it is me.

If Palestine has no supporters it means i am dead.

If the world is against Palestine I am against the world.

"death to the Chinese", "death to the ruskies", "death to the Arabs"

You'd think that by now libs would have realized they're just white supremacists

The toppling of the Israeli regime is now the reasonable, pragmatic, centrist position. sorry I don't make the rules here

Egypt has refused to let US Nationals leave Gaza through Rafah.

Egyptian Authorities are refusing to let US nationals leave Gaza unless the US forces Israel to accept the Rafah Border Crossing be a designated aid crossing where Egyptian and International Aid can be brought to Gaza.

No aid allowed to pass = No US or European foreigner can leave.

Zionists are either some of the stupidest people or the most evil liars you can possibly encounter. I can't tell you the number of times I have seen asshole say that Gaza isn't a ghetto or concentration camp (which itself is a distinction largely without a difference) because it has a high birth rate. You know, high birth rates, that thing you find in stable and prosperous places like Western Europe or Japan.

There has only been some tit for tat exchanges of fire with Hezbollah with both sides giving it like 2 percent how have you already lost a commander

Bunch of DSA chapters walking back their statements of solidarity with Palestine because they're little pissbabies that can't handle the pushback.

Fun fact: it is exactly 33 years to the day since the fake babies in incubators story was originally given

careful, the libs are starting to learn

Morales welcomed Hamas' actions on the people of Israel and maintained that the policy of the “democratic and cultural revolution” promoted by his administration was “in defense of Palestine.” He then argued that the Foreign Ministry's note “was biased” and reflected “one more sign of the right wing of the Government” of President Luis Arce Catacora.

“The Bolivian people will always condemn the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian Territories, the systematic aggressions against the Palestinian people, and their struggle for independence. Those are the real causes of the conflict, not to denounce them is to be an accomplice,” said Evo on X. He also regretted that the Bolivian Foreign Ministry did “not denounce with political coherence the real situation that the Palestinian people are going through” and condemned “the imperialist and colonial actions of the Zionist Israeli government.” Morales insisted that “solidarity among peoples is the basis of a more just and dignified society,” and questioned that “it is not possible for a government of the Democratic and Cultural Revolution to defend the invasionist and expansionist policy of Israel.”

“When a people defends its sovereignty they call it terrorist. But when the United States finances wars, armed invasions, coups d'état, and assassinations, they speak of democracy,” he underlined.

What a fuckin’ loser. Liberals have dropped him like a hot potato now that they have another genocide to support.

Dumbass really thought he would escape the universal puppet fate of being discarded like used toilet paper once your usefulness has run its course

I’m not sure anyone would care if he died at this point.
