ZeroSuitBritney Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 Apparently Israeli soldiers killed two pregnant women with white flags on their way to a hospital and then ran over their bodies with bulldozers. Absolutely appalling.
welham Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 hit that translate button and have a look at a point of view that’s quite popular STILL here. There are truly no bigger “anti-Israeli propagandists” than Israelis themselves. Constantly airing out their genocidal tendencies out there themselves. But then again, pointing that out for the billionth time and denying the narrative that this war would be any different without Netanyahu in charge is basically me “justifying attacking civilians but this time Israeli civilians” by certain users somehow I’m so ******* tired. EXHAUSTED. And I’m not even one of the 2.2 million Gazans facing displacement, executions, bombs, and starvation. My grandfather passed away not long ago, and I wasn’t sad because he died. I was sad and angry FOR him. He mentally stopped being fully “present” most of the time, but at some of the occasions that he would be, he would be seen tearing up watching the coverage on Gazan suffering on TV. The amount of trauma he must’ve relived mentally, all the way back from when he became an orphan and was displaced from his village in the 1948 Nakba, to witnessing the countless subsequent suffering Palestinians lived through… and he got to live long enough to witness a second Nakba in 2023. It wasn’t just sadness that I felt. It was RAGE. This is a continuation of generational trauma and memory of an entire nation of people. If this second Nakba did anything for most Palestinians, it would be reigniting and strengthening the Palestinian national identity within them. Of all the attacks on Gaza and the West Bank since I was alive and old enough to understand what’s happening, this episode has been truly transformative for me. Words truly fail at expressing how much this war has changed my identity. It’s always and forever **** Genocide Joe, **** Apartheid Blinken, **** their colonial European comrades, and **** every war criminal currently butchering my people in Gaza. Colonialism and imperialism are alive and well, and this has been just a cruel, painful reminder. 13 1
Popular Post Jjang Posted December 24, 2023 Popular Post Posted December 24, 2023 reminder that when you read “20,000 Palestinians dead and 8,000 more lost under the rubble” it just means 28,000 Palestinians were murdered by Israel. The 8k “stuck under the rubble” are most likely dead. Israel has murdered nearly 30k civilians in 2 months. may the world never forget. 15
Aethereal Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 These genocidal comments that we see about Palestinians are not only limited to them, it is just that Western media has made it more open for people to express their real selves this time. Those types of comments (sentiment) exist for African and other Middle Eastern countries too, but people are less likely to vocalize about that.

mons†er Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 sincerely, genuinely and honestly praying for all the Palestinians. the fact that genocide is occurring and it has become a footnote to the rest of the world is truly disgusting. the Palestinian people do not deserve to have this happened or watch this happened to their people. I hope during this holiday season where consumerism has become the DNA of the season, that people actually look and support efforts to support Palestinians in their time of need now more than ever. I send well wishes and honest love to all those affected by this awful tragedy, and pray to God, Allah & the universe that this will come to an end in favor of the Palestinians. 10

The Houthis forcing the West to spend $1.8M per missile to shoot down $2k drones is objectively hilarious. The West’s Prosperity Guardian operation crumbling to dust in less than a week because Joe Biden is a failure of a coalition leader is also objectively hilarious. Not everything is about cheering on terrorism, sis!

I think the suffering of the Yemeni people is awful. I also think anyone who supports someone who gleefully sold Saudi Arabia the bombs to drop on Yemen for years is largely disqualified from claiming such themselves. I don't agree with much of what GhostBox (or Kassi ) post, and I don't care for Joe Biden which you seem to recognise. But you and others in this thread are more representative of the prevailing views on this website and of the mods, thus why it feels more prudent to me to pushback where I disagree. For me I've not been interested in doing Israel apologia, rather it's about opposing leftist support of violent Islamists to own the libs/own the westerners. And that has been a thing on this website since literally the opening hours of Oct 7th. But also I won't hide or deny that I have a particular distaste for your brand of politics, and that's been there for years, ever since I did Chinese/Soviet history units at uni. I genuinely think you and others who share your views - especially the willingness to justify violence - are dangerous. I look at you and other leftists' willingness to support "revolutionary" or "resistance' violence and I see the same ideaology that justified what was done in the CR in China, to pick one example. It is a particularly concerning brand of modern American leftism that I have always disliked and desperately do not want to influence my country. Spoiler On the personal attacks, me calling you a tankie or wathever does not constitute a personal attack in the same manner that you calling me a racist, 'a danger to queer youth' or the various other things you've called me over the years. So let's not go down that path. The swearing is just that im Aussie and its how we talk 1

Oh give me a break. I'm really tired of the people in this thread and in the real world supporting the systematic murder of an entire group of people trying to pretend that we're the bad guys. The call is coming from inside the house, and that's who you're choosing to defend here. We don't hate the west, we hate the westerns who're rising up to celebrate the murder of people simply because of the fact that they're Muslims. if it were any other group of people then there would be no debate on this subject. It'd be a unanimous decrying of Israel's daily acts of terrorism. Edited December 25, 2023 by Mr. Mendes 5

I know what you people believe and why you believe it. I also have never made an argument about "angry homosexuals" and have fought against the "Gazans dont support your gay rights" narrative several times. But this is always the case with online leftists - everyone who disagrees in any way is put in the same camp - see the above post as well. I'm a zionist that loves Israel because I think Hamas is bad and supporting them is bad for Palestinans. It's incredibly fascinating how people can get so self righteous and self assured that they think pushing back on open support and celebration of Islamist groups is somehow controversial, and worthy of smug jeering. You can't make up the derangement 1
