Meanwhile, we've got "stop being antisemitic" trolls casting doubt among the uninformed.
Not only that. There are whole countries participating in that disgusting shit. UK and US stayed absent from the Nagasaki memorial event because Japan had the good sense of not inviting an apartheid dictatorship.
I find it more bizarre that most of the world leaders are turning a blind eye to it all and keep the bullshit up with “right to defend themselves”.
Nothing of this has anything to do with defending.
Since october 7th, the US has sent Israel 39 F-35s, the most advanced aircraft in the world. This brings Israels count of F-35s (again, the most advanced aircraft in the world) to 50. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been begging us for F-16s, an outdated aircraft that the US Military has relegated to National Guard service and plans to retire in 2025. The Netherlands and Denmark have been who has donated all of the F-16s Ukraine is receiving.
I want to point out, literal days after Ukraine received the F-16s, they launched a counter invasion and captured Kursk. This is something that could have been much more impactful back when Ukraine started asking for the F-16s (which I want to make sure everyone remembers is a fighter platform from the 1970s that we are retiring in a few months). I don't even know... What I want people to do with this information. I just want people to sit with it and draw their own conclusions about America's priorities, and what it means to ask for and receive aid from the US.
Also, the US has been regularlu conditioning its weapons supplies to Ukraine on them not being used in Russia proper; while calls to put any conditions on Israel's usage of them have been a complete non-starter.
If your country doesn't have shitloads of money and/or oil, the United States doesn't give a shit. They only help when they have something to gain.
I don't want to sound like a conspiracy nut, but I am very disturbed at AIPAC and similar organizations spending millions in local primaries to unseat candidates that are vocally pro Palestine. Cori Bush and others in the "squad" dare to speak against them and are actively being replaced by big money.
Do you want to make terrorists? Because this is how you make desperate people feel like their only option is to become terrorists.
This seems to be precisely what Netenyahu has in mind, unfortunately.
I’m pretty sure he does, yeah. He needs a bloody conflict to go on to remain in power (and possibly out of prison). Scared people are easier to rule, and terrorism is scary.
The irony of calling them terrorists instead of freedom fighters.
Netanyahu saw the Bush admin create the Iraqi insurgency and said, "hold my beer".
My lord. Listening to those testimonies.
This is horrible. Evil. The Palestinian people deserve so much better than this.

Absolutely, they are long overdue for basic human rights and civil rights.
Thanks for the link to the full report, I just added it to the description to help promote awareness
Every time I think Israel can't do worse... it gets worse.
Israel went to great lengths to remind people of the Holocaust and caution against Antisemitism but looks like they forgot themselves.
Anyone who is against RAPE is ANTISEMITIC!
Yes, this is the quite likely position of the Israeli government. After all, they are looking for the person who published the video of the crime - not as a witness against the criminals, but because that person exposed them.
Well fuck, guess I'm antisemitic then......
And that's another layer of fucked up to calling all critics antisemitic. It can normalise actual antisemitism when it bubbles up.
the most moral army strikes again, fucking ghouls
They have been running concentration and labor camps since 1948
https://israelpalestinenews.org/israels-little-known-concentration-and-labor-camps-1948-1955/
Meanwhile their politicians are freeing these rapists, and discussing in the Knesset (basically their parliament) if rape is an appropriate punishment. Their TV channels are discussing the same thing publicly, and bringing IDF soldiers on the shows to defend raping prisoners. I don't understand how a society can become so disgustingly genocidal. Nazi shit.
It probably happened. If you've shown the whole world that you bomb refugee camps and international food relief convoys, then you don't get "the benefit of the doubt" anymore.
Anyone else nazi this ending well?
Israel just improved on the things the nazis did to them in ww2. What they learned from the ghetto in warsaw they used in Gaza
Israel just improved on the things the nazis did to them in ww2.
Not quite yet. Nazis did extremely worse. But they are surely on their way getting there. >.<
It's time to hold Netanyahu accountable for his atrocities. If the U.S. refuses to participate in ICC proceedings, we should at least discontinue our abusive, manipulative, toxic relationahip with Israel.
Israel has a rich legacy of treating their neighbors like absolute shit while using the U.S. as their personal weapon. They should defend themselves from the neighbors they have mistreated for the last several decades. It's time for them to grow up and be responsible for their own actions.
Isis bornt from Abu Ghraib
I'm glad it's being documented, but we all pretty much expected this, right? These are the same guys that use injured Palestinians as hood ornaments in public. They get in trouble for that then, but in private, who knows what you can get away with?
Free palestine bro ✊🇵🇸

World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
