pfft, remember all those countries telling Israel they better not bomb Rafah?
So anyway they started blastin'
"Whats everyone so upset about? We've only killed 1% of the Palestine population. We're minimizing civilian deaths. Ignore the fact it's overwhelmingly women and children though."
30,000 of 2 million is 1.5%.
That's halfway to the Bosnian genocide levels in less than a year.
I don’t know what makes my head spin more, the rate at which Israel is slaughtering Palestinians not just with the absolutely mental amount of bombs they are dropping on a tiny area but also with the cutting off of basic necessities and the associated starvation and deaths of despair….. or the fact that US media, Joe Biden and US centrists just don’t seem to have a “too far” for Israel slaughtering Palestinians.
According to the UN it may be as much as 6 percent. Nobody has looked under the rubble yet.

But Genocide Joe told me that he wouldnt allow it! Especially not now he's trying to send israel 17 billion in bombs!
Genocide Blind Biden more like. He's not doing the genocide directly just completely fucking ignoring it. The pool of blood is going to reach his knees soon, I wonder how long he can ignore it before he drowns.
Actively vetoing proposals for a ceasefire isn't ignoring.
Huh, he is not ignoring anything, you can’t just ignore 30000 deaths, he is actively funding it, just the normal brown and religious hate ya know, nothing new
Definitely the most moral army💕
But they text people before destroying their lives!?
“Your home and everything you’ve worked for will be completely destroyed in 15 minutes, flee while you can. We are good guys btw”
"Hey guys pick up all your shit and move to this safezone. We won't bomb it."
"Lol oops jk"
They did not say that. The safe zone was solely meant to protect people from the bulk of the ground fighting in Gaza city. That's it. Don't make up nonsense.
Hahahahaha. Holy fuck. You think it sounds better that there are no safe zones for civilians? That anywhere they go within their state, surrounded at all sides, they can be bombed from the skies?
Fuck right off you IDF goon.

‘Everywhere you go will be bombed as well LOL’
Name any other army that does this. Homes can be rebuilt, people can not. This is the least terrible option.
Kind of a trick question since a lot of armies aren't routinely bombing civillian houses in the first place.
Yeah except they lied and decided the bomb everything anyway. They only do this for PR, not because they actually care about Palestinians.
Hot take I know, but they could not destroy a whole region filled with civilians.
I've had some ex-girlfriends like that
But don't forget to let centrist dems know you'll keep voting for them even if they support a genocide.
Hey, stupid, the other choice is letting Trump win and even if Biden personally grabbed a gun and started murdering Palestinians in the streets he'd do less damage than Trump would.
Please remove your head from your ass or we will, yet again, let that flagrantly fascist psychopath take charge.
Damn thats crazy, maybe the centrist dems should have voted for a candidate in the primary that wouldn't abandon the critical "anti-genocide" voting bloc. I'll gladly take a term of trump if it means less shit dem candidates in the future.
Leftists and progressives have 0 leverage against centrist democrats if our votes are unconditional, if supporting a genocide isn't a line too far then nothing is.
Damn maybe voting democratic even as a centrist is closer to center than how far the right has gone. Damn maybe not voting because you don't like your choices just allows a candidate that has radically more damaging positions take the position of power.
Maybe not voting like a pretentious little bitch actually fucks over yourself and everyone who has similar principles to you because you want to feel morally superior.
Voting for Trump THE FIRST TIME was supposed to be the "we'll get less shitty dems" how the fuck did that work out? Oh it didn't! Stop being so fucking stupid. This logic is so twisted and broken it could serve as the next Republican frontrunner.
You're not going to shame me into voting for the guy arming a genocide lol. If the centrist dems don't like losing votes from the left they should stop choosing unviable candidates in the primary.
But even ignoring any long term goals to drag the democrats left kicking and screaming I'm just not going to vote for a guy that armed a genocide. Not holding my nose for that.
I, for one, don't think we should give our elected officials a free pass just because the other guy would be worse.

biden is flagrantly fascist, too, so maybe we should choose someone else, like cornel west or jill stein.
I'm starting to turn around on this. I feel like Trump is corruptable, so some Saudi money can make him change his mind.
Biden is okay with genocide. I don't know how Trump can be much worse than what Biden is already doing.
Pretty sure Trump has openly supported the IDF and said he'd do worse. Protecting the weak isn't in the GOP playbook and hopefully we won't have to see if he can be bribed to change his mind.
Open support is better than what Biden is doing. Gas lighting.
I don't think it's possible for Trump to do worse. What can be worse? Sending more money to Israel? Obstructing any ceasefire or mechanisms of international justice? Not recognizing Palestinians sovereignty? Bidens government is already doing these things. What does worse look like? I think what Biden is doing is as bad as it gets, he needs to be shown that he lost the left and we don't have to vote for him.

Oh boy get ready for the downvotes
Yeah, the left is the problem here, cause republicans are totally anti genocide
“Kill ’Em All,” Republican Congressman Says of Palestinians in Gaza
oh wait....
Meanwhile, the average elected Democrat's position:
I send you an actual news article, and all you can do is reply with a strawman cartoon, claiming it's democrats?
You want to cite actual democratic politicians calling for more war or do you just want to live in your fantasy world?
I'd say this is more akin to liberals. There are plenty of Zionist Dems who are fully on the genocide bandwagon.
Libs think it's complicated and there's two sides to the story. Wake the fuck up, it's genocide. There's only one side to this.
I hope people would just learn to apologise to each other for their mistake instead of fighting to the death like cave mans

- 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.
