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!!

Alright, so while you’re totes cool with posting links to a “news agency” controlled by the Iranian government, you have a bone to pick with the NYT?
But these things are irrelevant. They could still post “propaganda sites” and NYT could still also be wrong.
Have you tried clearing your sinuses with a netty pot or similar?
The latest count on Al-Jazeera was 109 with over 800 wounded, and reports of 40 bodies bulldozed away that no one can reach. They did shoot at a crowd of thousands.
In high-school and university it always disappointed me that Palestinians didn’t have enough representation and a platform in global media. During this war on Gazans, I’ve seen every conceivable human rights organization involved criticize Israel and report on its crimes. I’ve seen the CNN write detailed investigate reports about the victims of the Israeli terror state. I’ve seen world leaders demand a ceasefire… and I thought to myself, "surely this time things are better! we are in the media, countries support us (sometimes as people, sometimes as governments, sometimes as both)… now we have all these amazing Palestinian voices speaking on television and in university lectures and media and film festivals… surely this time things will change."
But no, it turned out to worse than the Nakba. 🙂 Turns out lack of representation and media coverage wasn’t the only issue plaguing Palestinians.
So tell me, what is it that makes Palestinians so unimportant in the eyes of Biden? So unworthy of human rights?
Reminds me of that into to that song by DAM (YT, Piped, lyrics in English):
وين ما اروح باشوف حدود ساجنه الأنسانيه
ليه أطفال العالم حره وأنا ما الي حريه ؟
“Wherever I look, I see borders that jail humanity. Why are all the children of the world free but there is no freedom for me?”
Waiting for the average Zionism defender saying:
You might be right. I found this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omer_Goldman
… so this isn’t really a viable solution.
You largely can choose the provider of this service,
Really? I’m from the Middle East, took me fucking ages to “change the provider”.
If you’re in a country with compulsory military service, make yourself interesting for other countries and leave.
Literally not an option for 99% of people.
us comparatively free thinking westerners
For myself, I grew up with the Islam kool-aid in the Middle East in an Islam-majority country and though the journey was troublesome, I very much managed in the end to shed religion and tradition off my shoulders and unlearn all the crap I was indoctrinated to believe in, including layers of anti-semitism. I felt like I lived in a similar kind of propaganda machine and managed to find my way out. If I can do it, hopefully, anyone can do it given the right opportunities, support, and time.
Ah, I understand.
You’re right, choosing prison over killing innocent civilians requires first understanding what is going on, something which indoctrination is meant to hinder. I think what I meant to say is that it’s weird not more people have been able to escape this indoctrination and choose prison instead of service. Then again, Israel has been successful at this genocide thanks to their incredible propaganda machine, so I shouldn’t underestimate the effect it has on people.
just a bunch of indoctrinated teens
But yes, I absolutely agree.
We gotta admit that a large portion of the IDF are just a bunch of indoctrinated teens who had no choice. They are victims of Israel too.
I’m surprised she’s the first woman to be jailed for this… really thought this was more common than that. I would totally do months of even a couple of years of prison or whatever just so not to kill X number of civilian men, women, and children on Gaza… simply because that’s not something I’d be able to live with.
Disgusting! Israel constantly tries to demonize Palestinian men, but we know the truth. We know they are prying people out of rubble with their own hands, driving ambulances, risking their lives for others, and hugging their dead children as they bury them.
When they say Europe they just mean countries with white western values
Correction: technically it’s in the European Broadcasting Union zone. Notice, however, that most of those who compete are from white European countries with matching white Europian culture. There’s a reason you don’t see Morocco competing except for that one time in the 80s.
Israel tries to be a “European” country and a “Middle Eastern” one all the same. Too bad that what it actually is is a racist apartheid ethnostate.
Another piece from the guardian
‘I’m so scared, please come’: Hind Rajab, six, found dead in Gaza 12 days after cry for help
She said: “We contacted the ministry of health and they coordinated our safe access with the Israeli authorities. We were given the green light to move the ambulance.”
But she said the ambulance came under fire soon after it arrived at the location. “First [the paramedics] said the Israeli forces are putting laser lights on them … And then we heard a gunfire sound before we lost the connection. It was like a gunfire or explosion, we were not sure of what happened.”
This army is so pathetic in my eyes now
Isn’t it just so funny how Hezbollah attacks military targets but every time Israel bombs Lebanon it goes like “Grandmother and grandchild killed in two separate cars, Israel says it was a woopsie”?
