The crazy thing is that libs want to imply that, in this cartoonish ridiculous situation we're looking at on the float, the correct answer is to pull that trigger and blast apart that entire family. Motherfuckers, the reason taking hostages is even a thing is because you're not supposed to be soulless enough to murder three innocent people to take down one guy who did something you consider wrong.

who did something you consider wrong.

Not to mention that something is, check notes, resisting genocide.

Man this is something that libs dont seem to notice at all in all of the human shields discourse. Why would Hamas utilize human shields if it is obvious and always has been obvious that civilian deaths are no deterrent?

Critical support for Hamas

more and more people are saying it

Germany should have been broken up after WWI

biden-supervised sorry jack I guess my eyes don't work so good no more

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 31 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was told that Germans had transcended racism, and understood things like fascists scapegoating minority populations for the failings of their country/military

[–] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 35 points 9 months ago (2 children)

GERMANS LEARNED THEIR LESSON! Stop bringing it up unless to praise them for how incredibly sorry they are.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

Most entitled people on earth. Should be glad their country still exists instead of demanding worship

Germans feel shame because their grandaddy and mommy were nazis, and they would've been too if they were born earlier. I, as someone living in the occupied territory of america, can proudly exclaim that I've never fallen for the propaganda and anyone in my life who expresses support for the genocidal acts of america/Isreal will be promptly cut out of my life.

It’s such a poor attempt at propaganda too. If the Israeli tank is supposed to be piloted by highly moral super soldiers who just want world peace, it wouldn’t shoot a family lol.

btw the average german would not agree with this, the parade is some disgusting neoliberal political satire event

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

satire event

Ironic homophobia is still homophobia.

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yeah no I'm not defending the event by saying it's satire it's fucking disgusting, just making it clear this kind of thinking doesn't represent working class Germans, this shit could've happened almost anywhere in the west but I feel like there's almost a false sentiment that Germans are uniquely hardened zionists because of shit like this

I’m curious how this aligns by party preference. AFD is doing well in the polls last I checked but the average afd voter is more pro Israel than the average spd voter right?

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

God I hope so, I hope these statistics are showing good anti-israel and not b a d a n t i - I s r a e l doomjak

[–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

The German press does frame the atrocities very pro Israel. They do present the facts but if you look at the headlines and the language. Everyone is rightly protesting the AfD but meanwhile the government AGAIN makes Germany complicit in a genocide. And it's a coalition of social democrats, greens and libertarians no less.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 27 points 9 months ago

not shown: the tank loading overpenetrating rounds to kill as many of those people as possible at once

[–] beef_curds@hexbear.net 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Even if this was literally true, it's common sense that you don't fire a shell through the family.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

i'm late in realizing this, but the reason the IDF has so many friendly fire incidents is because they literally don't bother to train to discriminate between targets. if it's in the zone of violence and it moves, it's an enemy. other armies at least theoretically have some kind of rules of engagement, but israelis have no rules but to destroy as much as possible.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 19 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

lmao

By 26 January the number of IDF troops killed in friendly fire incidents had been increased to 36 out of 188 soldiers reported as killed.

A fifth of their own casualties in this are friendly fire lmao?

How? They're all almost certainly kitted out in the fanciest shit money can buy, and they're fighting people with busted ass aks without dust covers who are wearing flip flops and shit

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Resistance fighters with shit gear know how to make their bullets count. Isrealis with their fancy gear, only know how to count bodies, regardless of whose they are.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I agree, I was moreso pointing out that they should be VERY visually distinct from one another; Israelis are gonna be all kitted out in uniform, Palestinians will doubtlessly not be

Not to mention they should have radio sets, be in contact with each other continually, probably have at least some form of training regarding not shooting the first thing you see (though maybe not lmao)

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

And!! And!! The Palestinians absolutely won't have infrared scopes or binoculars in any significant volume, so you can do the IR flasher on the helmet. They have no excuse to be this bad lol

The "Human Shields" Canard as Catch-All Colonial Absolution

And by "eagerly shoving children in front of tanks" they mean "being known to exist somewhere"

Germany today is just Nazi Germany but without Hitler
