RIP to everyone. The sad thing is that even these really obvious big crimes that should provide disproportional amounts of media outrage probably will be brushed past like the weather report.

reddit-logo always censors anything critical of Israel, like the apartheid report from a few years ago.

It was telling that r/Combatfootage faced an immediate embargo from the admins on any footage from a Palestinian perspective. That's not applied for Russia, for any faction in Syria, for Turkey and Kurdistan or Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Not Chechnya nor Serbia nor Nazi Germany. I've seen ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Al-Nusra, Mexican drug cartels, literally every group I can think of which has engaged in combat and filmed it. But as soon as the attacks happened, zero tolerance policy for anything coming out of Palestine while IDF footage is now the mainstay.

The difference is Israel is a settler colonial entity founded on ethnic cleansing. It is the blood brother of amerikkka. No other US ally is "the us in miniature" to that extent, and also there's the nutcases in congress that think Jews need to own Jerusalem to make Jesus come back. Thus, the unyielding support and bloodthirst.

Sure, but the only combat footage coming out of there currently are drunk guys getting into fist fights with kangaroos

Just because it’s not recorded doesn’t mean there aren’t settler colonizers doing combat against aboriginal people

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
