Luckitty Posted July 31 Posted July 31 the colonial, genocidal state bombs 5 different countries in 24 hours with the full support of the western governments do these countries have the right to defend themselves? 3
BrokenMachine Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Very on brand for them. And yet they're still gonna play the victim somehow 10
mons†er Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Israel needs to be stopped as soon as possible. These senseless acts of violence are becoming entirely too common. I pray for all the victims, this is just… unfair. 8
Communion Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Feels like a lot of Americans need to understand - you can have a Harris presidency or a vengeful Israel escalating a regional war and brutalizing its enemies. Not both. Feels insulting to center American feelings in the broader scheme of Israeli barbarism, but these actions ultimately occur because Biden - and now Harris - respond to this jingoism with mass endorsement and reverence to the Israeli regime's right to "defend itself". A pathway to liberal democracy in the US is not a worthwhile venture to young people, progressives, and Arab Americans when Israel's extremist leaders come as a package deal with whatever outcome. How do you convince voters that a rogue terrorist state that routinely bombs other nations and Institutes mass rape as a torture tactic is a trustworthy ally and lives up to the value that democracy is on the ballot? 4 6
BorderBoy Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Looks like Netanyahu was given an even greener light by the US to commit more crimes in the Middle East, knowing that whatever happens he'd still get a standing ovation wtf 4
HeavyMetalAura Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Full disclosure I am EXTREMELY ignorant on foreign affairs and have never claimed to be knowledgeable about them (also my geography teacher was in high school was on drugs so it's a weak spot for me) so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question — I know why Israel is at war with Palestine, but why bomb the other countries? Do they support Palestine? Is this their first time bombing them, or is there a precedent for this?

There isn't a realistic option that's gonna publicly condemn Israel, considering they are basically an extension of the States in the East. At least Harris' rhetoric, unlike Trump's or Biden's, isn't calling for the death of all Palestinians. 6
Sombre Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Kh-amas must be operating in hospitals and tunnels of all 5 countries, right? Right?? 8
Petra von Kant Posted July 31 Posted July 31 i'm curious to see how zionists will try to justify/excuse that one

And that includes, schools, hospitals, universities, mosques, churches, media institutions, aid trucks, media crews... absolutely anything.
Donquizote Posted July 31 Posted July 31 And they're very good in playing victim. Why are they still getting pass to bomb everyone?

diemoehre Posted July 31 Posted July 31 I'm sorry to ask but does anyone have a source for this attack? I can't really find news outlets reporting on it, at least not in Germany. They're all reporting on the death of the Hamas leader but not really on the bombings. Thanks in advance!

kikugalanet Posted July 31 Posted July 31 (edited) This post is misinformation. Syria was not attacked by Israel, Syrian media confirmed it was an unrelated fire. Iraq was attacked by the US and not Israel. Edited July 31 by kikugalanet

Israel (and its allies) bomb any country that supports Palestinians in anyway they bombed yemen because they enforced an embargo on ships going to israel and israel does this because they know that every western government is on their side + the US & their allies went to war with Iraq in 2003 because Iraq was the biggest threat to israel, as admitted by israel's foreign minister

fromily Posted July 31 Posted July 31 A lot of people not understanding that Israel, as a state, was specifically created by the allied powers after WWII to be a locus of power for the west in the middle east. They used (and continue to use) the very real suffering of the jewish people to justify its existence, but in reality it has always been nothing more than a glorified military outpost. I feel for the jewish people, who have been used as pawns in this situation, but it is naive in the extreme to believe that ANY american (or major western) administration is going to withdraw support for Israel as long as it continues to act as a foothold for the west in the region. If it comes to it they may, eventually, do something about Netanyahu. but Israel itself? never. Also just to put it in perspective, both Trump and Biden are older than Israel. 4
smartalek22 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 It's time for the middle east to pack them up once and for all

Israel is our biggest ally and intel in the Middle East.
