The military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking late Saturday on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said that account was “mistaken.”

The footage shows the Red Crescent and Civil Defense teams driving slowly with their emergency vehicles’ lights flashing, logos visible, as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier. The teams do not appear to be acting unusually or in a threatening manner as three medics emerge and head toward the stricken ambulance.

They targeted these medics. They targeted the world kitchen people. How much longer are those with the ability to do something gonna tolerate this?

Reminds me of a quote from Hogfather (1996):

Maybe someone said, hey, how’d you like to hunt this evil bastard of an eagle with his big sharp beak and great ripping talons, sort of thing, or how about instead you hunt this wren, which is basically about the size of a pea and goes “twit”? Go on, you choose.

[-] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Forever, unless they start attacking outside of Palestine no one is going to do anything. Especially since Isreal is one of the US' favorite murder toys

[-] m4xie@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

They have already launched attacks in Lebanon and Syria.

[-] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Did I say Palestine, I meant to say "the middle east".

How much longer are those with the ability to do something gonna tolerate this?

Until the costs to themselves outweigh the benefits. Otherwise why not tolerate it? Even the word tolerate implies that it bothers them beyond a minor PR issue. Normal people need to gain the ability to think like sociopaths if they want to understand them.

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Tolerate? The "people with the ability to do something", by definition, would have done something if they wanted to. The powerful pursue their interests, just like everyone else. You can either get them to change their minds about what "the goal" is, or you change the people in power for some who align with the population. We should come up with a cool name for this crazy concept, like what if we used the Greek words for "people" and "power"‽

[-] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Youre right. That wasn’t the best phrased. Not “tolerate” …”actively encourage and not give a shit about”…

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 111 points 1 month ago

Fascists always lie. Zios are no exception.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 64 points 1 month ago

Understanding that Zionists are fascists is probably the thing that let me understand why they do the things they do. The extent of their depravity, sometimes comical scheming, projection and of course all the damn lying make perfect sense when you realize that they're just Nazis with a Jewish makeover.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Zionazis, if you will

Edit: I hadn't heard this word before, but figured if I thought of it someone else beat me to it, and sure enough it's been around for a while. Turns out it's considered antisemitic, but I think if the jack boot fits...

[-] princessnorah 7 points 1 month ago

I don't know whether this is too far or not, but do remember that all pro-zionists will call you anti-semitic for saying something anti-zionist.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 106 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

"seems to contradict it"

come on. Why cant we all just admit they flat out lied to get away with a war crime, same as always.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 48 points 1 month ago

Thing is even if they admitted it no-one would do anything about it. Why the wasted effort?

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 35 points 1 month ago

Just another day for Israel.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

How nice. After it turns out Israel lied about executing 15 ambulance personell they can "walk back their statement".

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Every fucking time evidence comes out of some incident, it completely contradicts what they said before.

I'm starting to think they might have a problem telling the truth.

[-] zayanjones@feddit.uk 11 points 1 month ago

Video evidence forcing a backtrack? Sounds like the truth only comes out when they’re caught red-handed.

[-] PlaywrightFox@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

The truth didn't even come out. It was "We will investigate ourselfs" type response. And the U.S. will continue supplying this state with the weapons to carry this out.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The reason they give for shooting ambulances is that Hamas has used ambulances to move soldiers.

"On December 19, 2024, soldiers from the 'Duvdevan' unit (Israeli military) took part in an operational mission to detain terrorists in Nablus. During the operation, an ambulance-like vehicle was used for operational purposes, without authorisation and without the relevant commanders' approval."

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

Sounds like the Israeli moved soldiers in ambulances, if you read your own quote.

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

I think your trying to show that Israeli military committed a war crime but you look like your accusing Hamas of doing the war crime. You got a edit that comment bruv, it's a mess.

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
[-] mhague@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Reading comprehension.

Reading fucking comprehension.

I bring up the time IDF used an ambulance during a raid, that time they killed a grandma, in response to the IDF saying they shot these people because terrorists use ambulances... and people think I'm defending Israel.

Reading comprehension. Come on guys, say it with me. Reading comprehension!

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 month ago

The reason they give for shooting ambulances is that Hamas has used ambulances to move soldiers.

If you were calling Israel hypocrites you should have added something to the end of this sentence because it reads like you're saying Hamas did it and then attempted to provide an example. Text based sarcasm requires a bit more effort if you don't want to be misunderstood.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Lol what happened to people championing reading things carefully before commenting? At worst my wording was vague. Could've searched what I was talking about and easily realized was I thought. I assume people can search my comments and see I'm not defending Israel.

[-] svcg 4 points 1 month ago

My dude, if people have to go away and read other things in order to understand what you were trying to communicate, then you did a bad job at communication.

[-] princessnorah 1 points 1 month ago

I think I was in the minority, but I immediately understood what you were getting at. It made more sense that you were pointing out the IDF's hypocrisy, than trying to prove Hamas' guilt with woefully wrong evidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago

Come on bruv, they even literally say it's Israeli military

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Half your thought is still in your head. When you read this to yourself, it sounds like what you intended to say. When everyone else reads it, we are still missing context.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The missing context is in the article. If people read it and remembered current events they too would find it utter bullshit that their excuse was "Enemy soldiers use ambulances." And then my comment would naturally follow.

[-] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If your post said what you wanted it to say, without missing a sentance explaining the part you kept in your head, people wouldn't have to "figure out" that you are saying the opposite of what it sounds like you are saying, because "you know" you would never say what it looks like you are saying.

You just need a second sentence about how it's hypocracy that they said that or something. The part that you know in your head, but didn't put "on paper".

It's like, in speaking, you could just emphasise the right syllables the right way and that string of text would read exactly how you intend it to. But in text, that doesn't work.

It's like putting down the lyrics to a song without the melody and expecting everyone to sing it the same way you hear it in your head. Only works if they already know the melody. There is no way for us to know your melody, so you instead can't write ambiguously. If you want other people to follow along.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

I don't know if I should report this for obvious misinformation or leave it because it's hilarious.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Are you fucking stupid? I'm saying Israel kills people for using ambulances, and then bringing up the time Israel used an ambulance and killed a grandma.

[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Both your example and the one that mentions the grandmother are the same fucking incident.

Jfc.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Oh I get you now. I (and most of the rest of the thread) thought your comment was a weird hasbara thing with the quoted part as an example of evil khamas using ambulances.
