For Israel, the real crime here was being caught on film.

[–] filister@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Do you seriously think the perpetrators will be punished. At most some light disciplinary detention for one two guys and just because of international pressure.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 22 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it's not like they made hot dogs on the Shabbat or anything.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

I hope so but also worry they'll just be like USA police and just get put on paid leave or transfered somewhere else so no actual punishment happens

Bro what the hell. They’re 100 percent going to target the West Bank right after they destroy Gaza if the world doesn’t stop them. Despite the fact Fatah is secular and peaceful.

Israel needs to be stopped.

Fatah isn't "secular and peaceful". Stop making him sound like the "good" alternative to violent resistance (there isn't one). Fatah is an Israeli and American puppet who killed Palestinian secular resistance and destroyed everything Yasser Arafat had built with his bare hands.

Yasser Arafat was an Israeli and American puppet who got the west bank into the situation that it's in in the first place. His insidious leadership sowed the seeds of the Palestinian liberation movement's destruction in the west bank and Lebanon, and Fateh's betrayal. Of course he committed the betrayal with his own hands in the end as well.

How so?

[–] abuttandahalf@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

First of all his leadership of Fateh and the PLO worked to concentrate power in the hands of his particular opportunist clique. He undermined the Palestinian liberation movement throughout it's history. He undermined, dominated, and excluded the radical sections of Fateh which rejected collaboration with Zionism, who threatened his rule. His agreement to exit Lebanon directly led to the massacre of thousands. His signing onto the oslo accords and his creation of the Palestinian authority with its security and police force built for direct collaboration with the Zionist state and repression of Palestinian resistance signed the west bank away to Israel. Yaser Arafat is the direct cause of decades upon decades of failure of the Palestinian liberation movement, and his legacy continues to haunt us to this very day with the traitorous Fateh party and Palestinian authority.

Ah yes don't fight back they say. Cooperate with us and it'll be easy they say. This is what happens you bend the knee to Israel.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago (4 children)

So here's my question: what happens when Israel finishes swallowing Palestine and there's no more land left to steal? What then? Are they going to start shit with Jordan or Egypt to steal their land next? At what point does the US let them know that we're not going to let them drag us into WW3 just because they need to steal some land.

The US is going to let Israel drag them into WWIII

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Fucking embarrassing tbh. We're going to decimate the global north because somebody said no to our ethnostate pal.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

The Golan Heights, probably.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Lebanon would be next most likely. Hell, they already plan to do it.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 4 months ago

I could absolutely seeing them taking a piece of Egypt when it inevitably collapses under its own weight. I don't see Jordan happening, at least as long as Jordan is a US ally.

"The most moral army"

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 42 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Zionists, this is what the word "human shield" means.

[–] snek@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

No no no clearly all those Gazans who rent apartments in buildings inside the open air prison they live in, those are TOTALLY human shields and must hence be KILLED! Otherwise the Khamas WINS!!

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But did they condem Hummus? /s

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 21 points 4 months ago

Hummus made in illegally occupied Palestine is wholly condemnable. Sabra

Apart from driving over and crushing their victims, the practice that earned the Blackshirts notoriety in Italy during Mussolini’s rise to power in the early 1920s had been the killing of opponents by dragging them to their death. Given the numerous lorries available to them in Addis Ababa, both from the military and the [Fascist] government transport company, it was perhaps inevitable that they would use the same method during the massacre of Addis Ababa.

Kirubel Beshah, an Ethiopian witness who had been a student at the Teferi Mekonnin School and who after Liberation would teach mathematics there, reported, ‘Ethiopian blood flowed like water everywhere. Saddest of all was that at first they tied dead bodies to the back of their trucks, and pulled them along the road while shouting and singing, but later, they also started to tie the living to their trucks, so as not to waste bullets. It was very disturbing to see human bodies being torn to pieces alive, by stones and bushes.’²⁹

Wake up in the morning, which war crime will I see going unpunished today?

Ask most American politicians and they will swear undying fealty to a foreign nation doing the war crimes.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

i like how mainstream media just forgot what a "human shield" is all of a sudden.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

that's because wasps don't consider Palestinians to be human

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

The United States is unable to find any human rights abuses by the IDF 🤡

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Israeli military has said its forces violated protocol by strapping a wounded Palestinian man to the front of their vehicle during a raid in the West Bank city of Jenin.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the incident after it was captured on video and shared on social media.

Eyewitnesses speaking to Reuters news agency identified him as a local man and named him as Mujahed Azmi.

"This morning [Saturday], during counter-terrorism operations to apprehend wanted suspects in the area of Wadi Burqin, terrorists opened fire at IDF troops, who responded with fire," the IDF statement said.

"In violation of orders and standard operating procedures, the suspect was taken by the forces while tied on top of a vehicle.

"There has been a surge in violence in the West Bank since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, triggered by Hamas's deadly attack on southern Israel on 7 October.The UN says at least 480 Palestinians - members of armed groups, attackers and civilians - have been killed in conflict-related incidents in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.Israel accused of possible war crime over killing of West Bank boyTen Israelis, including six security forces personnel, have also been killed in the West Bank.
