Oh man, every Palestinian had an ID number? Man those could have just been tattooed on every person to make sure Israel could keep track of them better.

No idea why Israel didn't think of that. Seems obvious to use in your fenced in area that everyone has to be carefully released from for either work or because they died.

And IBM can supply the tech like the last time

Intel is investing billions in Israel at the same time getting bailouts from the us government.

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (7 children)

I pray Intel implodes after the recent news that their CPUs have an oxidation issue.

every American has an ID number too... I get the comparison you're making but I don't think birth certificates are inherently dystopian. there's plenty of actual shit to be mad about, such as 14 pages of dead babies, without having to complain about mundane shit

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

LOL yeah I know. They actually are helpful for any developed country but seeing a document of a list of 34,000 dead humans from newborns to "old" that Palestine is trying to prove were real (because the number dead is way higher) by using the identification numbers and knowing how Israel uses their labor force and tracks them made me feel the parallels to a historical use, a little heavily.

I kinda figured they should just go all the way with it.

People will read this and not even blink with a sense of irony, we are that far deep into replay of history.

They had it coming! Should've picked a different place to be born.

[–] FierySpectre@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Being born there is the first step to becoming terrorist scum, they had it coming!

/s just in case if that wasn't obvious

[–] gon@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I've never met a Palestinian but every Palestinian I've ever met has been a terrorist.

They had it coming! Should’ve picked a different place to be born.

They certainly should have! Poor kids. (I didn't miss your sarcasm, just adding to it)

Look what the older Palestinian kids have had to endure:

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This graphic is a year old! It’s actually seventeen years since that blockade now.

I wonder why some people there might think violence is the only thing their enemy would understand. Really a mystery.

Those children could've grown up to do some amazing things in many different industries (and no, terrorism is NOT one of them), but because they're unlucky enough to be born in Gaza, they have to deal with constant bombing, lack of food and water, damages in physical and mental health, and eventually death, before they even turn 18. Sometimes it's even abrupt and sudden.

Has Israel not yet learned how cruel this is? And THEY'RE the ones that get all the funding to do this. Oh, but if I say anything bad about Israel then I'm "antisemitic" MY ASS. You're killing literal children and I want the whole world to know about it.

I hate this world and almost everyone on it. Myself most of all. 100% powerless to stop any of this. I want off this hellworld.

[–] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hear you, it's been a brutal millennium so far and things look like they'll get worse before they get better.

We're all powerless alone, and I don't see us being able to stop the worst of what's to come, but there's pressure building against Israel, against capitalism, against conservatism, against the status quo.

It's going to be a rough ride but we need to stubbornly exist and be present and visible so that the pressure keeps building.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We’re all powerless alone

That's the "funny" thing about it. ALONE we are powerless. The really really hard part is getting all of us together.

Media in the past that wasn't purely propaganda for the sake of manipulating the population would have achieved this simply by the reporting done. Now all they do is give cover to the assholes committing the atrocities across the world and we have to fight with each other just to convince people what is actually happening and why it's bad...

Divide and conquer works and it's why we never seem to make progress. :(

Erm akshurally, did those newborn babies condem Hummus? ☝️🤓

Didn't think so, obviously they deserve it

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 56 points 1 month ago (10 children)

That is more babies than the total amount of civilians killed by Hamas on October 7.

But according to western military experts that are promoted by bibi himself, the IDF is the most moral army on earth and does more to mitigate civilian casualties than any army in history??????

[–] pastbynow@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Modern weapons are so accurate, so when I see this now I'm pretty sure that it was intentional don't let them deceive y'all by the 'most moral army in the world' bull shit, Their goal is to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian ethnicity, they want more and more land. It's pure genocide yet the west still fund them what a world are we living in! Now you can't blame a kid for joining Hamas when he grows up in all of this and see all his siblings die or his relatives. Pain will cause pain and violence will cause violence it'll be an endless loop.

I was trying to come up with some sick joke about the babies being antisemitic in the eyes of Israel, but I threw up a little bit every time I tried.

And I've got a dark sense of humor, so that's saying something. >.<

That's 710 babies under 1, it seems. The document wasn't linked in many of the articles talking about this but one article did mention it was on Gaza's MoH Telegram account, found it there. It's a pretty damn long list
