Do you think there's a 13 year old girl in Gaza who is writing a diary that will be widely read by children across the world 40-50 years from now?

[–] FireAtWill@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Do you really think it makes a difference?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 81 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe, but it will probably be destroyed by carpet bombing before anyone sees it.

Well, with the way things are going, it won’t be read in the U.S.A. It’ll be banned.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Don't worry, the US won't exist in 40-50 years.

It's 2025, the teenagers mostly document their lives on social media. Tent life guy from Gaza got killed but there are others.

When this empire falls and the genocide history is able to be taught then yes I think some of these video records will be studied by children around the world.

Unfortunately, I'm fully capable of comprehending this.

Israel should be dismantled. They are a genocidal state and deserve no statehood.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 47 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

No state "deserves" statehood. Statehood should be dismatled.

This message is literally saying, "dismantle your military, and we will ethnically cleanse you."

I would love to come across one of the voters that voted for the orange fascist because they thought Kamala would be worse for the Palestines somewhere in the wild. It would be incredible to see if they still feel strongly about it now.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago (13 children)

Most just abstained, voters who actually switched sides don't exist imo. If you voted trump last election, you never would have voted kamala even if she actually tried to win.

That being said, I can't really blame people for drawing the line at genocide of all things. The dems thought they had an easy win so they decided to represent genocide instead of us, the voters. I still voted for them regardless but it felt altogether gross. It shouldn't feel that way, they are supposed to be the good ones.

I don't think we should condone the behavior by pivoting the blame to voters, who are just trying to be heard since clearly the democratic party has stopped listening.

Post about israel stating they will exterminate Palestinians

You: it’s because of leftists and muslims and communists and santa maybe batman too.

Way to subtly change the subject and optics. Why don’t you focus on the fact that the United States is currently aiding and supporting a genocide that has been unfolding for the last 70 years? I’m not american and I would have voted for Harris if I was one, but you are disgraceful for using minorities like tokens you can use and throw as you please, I’m quite certain that even if all of them voted for Harris, trump would still have been elected due to your f***** up gerrymandering policy. Putting the blame on hundreds of thousands and not on the millions of apolitical voters is MAGA level nonsense.

I didn’t vote for Trump but let’s not pretend that Harris was going to stop it as she didn’t distance herself from Biden on this issue. Biden had 15 months and he didn’t, not even symbolically at the UN choosing to veto ceasefire, vote against Palestinian right to self determination and continue sending Israel weapons.

Most of Palestinians are under the age of 18. Basically telling a bunch of kids he's going to kill them.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 54 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This is a fact I try to bring up often... It's a truly disturbing piece of information

Also, they're struggling to survive without enough supplies, they're being cut off from the Internet and power in part so they can't get their message to the world, and they couldn't kick out Hamas if they wanted to - they have no organization or individual power to actually do that

So it's worth considering...who is this message for?

"return the hostages and kick out Hamas, and new options will open for you--including relocation to other parts of the world for those who choose. The alternative is destruction and total devastation."

So the choice is either ethnic cleansing with some genocide or ethnic cleansing with total genocide. This is completely unacceptable, yet there are those who argue that we must accept it and merely choose "the lesser of two evils" with the reason being that it could be worse. However, this only emboldens the evil and they will continue driving to make things worse and worse anyway.

Israeli’s are blood thirsty monsters. Prove me wrong.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 41 points 1 week ago (17 children)

The entire country is sick. The ones in power need to be held accountable and the population as a whole needs a "Denazification". Something that will require generations of reeducation to undue the fascist ethnostate that has indoctrinated children from birth.

Separating this Fascist state from Jewish identity is one of the most important things to do as well. One of the most antisemitic things being done today is when Israel commits genocide and pretends it is doing it for Jews. It is disgusting.

If Israel and Russia can get away with it, then too the USA, and this is the ultimate goal: taking back the world to the days of "territorial conquests".
