Do you think there's a 13 year old girl in Gaza who is writing a diary that will be widely read by children across the world 40-50 years from now?

[–] FireAtWill@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Do you really think it makes a difference?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 81 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Maybe, but it will probably be destroyed by carpet bombing before anyone sees it.

Well, with the way things are going, it won’t be read in the U.S.A. It’ll be banned.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Don't worry, the US won't exist in 40-50 years.

[–] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

By then they won't have to ban books. Nobody here will be able to read

It's 2025, the teenagers mostly document their lives on social media. Tent life guy from Gaza got killed but there are others.

When this empire falls and the genocide history is able to be taught then yes I think some of these video records will be studied by children around the world.

[–] FreeHat@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Maybe, but the IDF will definitely burn anything they find, don't want more records of their crimes where they can avoid it

The IAF blew up 400 men, women and children and today Netanyahu said, "this is only the beginning."

You can get deported from the US now for pointing that out.

Most of Palestinians are under the age of 18. Basically telling a bunch of kids he's going to kill them.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 54 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is a fact I try to bring up often... It's a truly disturbing piece of information

Also, they're struggling to survive without enough supplies, they're being cut off from the Internet and power in part so they can't get their message to the world, and they couldn't kick out Hamas if they wanted to - they have no organization or individual power to actually do that

So it's worth considering...who is this message for?

[–] RobertoOberto@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

who is this message for?

Everyone watching from the outside. It's an attempt to convince us that Israel is being fair and giving non-conbatants a fair way out, and that anyone caught in the crossfire from this point forward chose to stay.

Israel should be dismantled. They are a genocidal state and deserve no statehood.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 47 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (7 children)

No state "deserves" statehood. Statehood should be dismatled.

Well at least we know Trump will handle this much more ethically than that genocide-supporting demon Harris!

Unfortunately, I'm fully capable of comprehending this.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

If Israel and Russia can get away with it, then too the USA, and this is the ultimate goal: taking back the world to the days of "territorial conquests".

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 84 points 5 days ago (3 children)

This message is literally saying, "dismantle your military, and we will ethnically cleanse you."

"return the hostages and kick out Hamas, and new options will open for you--including relocation to other parts of the world for those who choose. The alternative is destruction and total devastation."

So the choice is either ethnic cleansing with some genocide or ethnic cleansing with total genocide. This is completely unacceptable, yet there are those who argue that we must accept it and merely choose "the lesser of two evils" with the reason being that it could be worse. However, this only emboldens the evil and they will continue driving to make things worse and worse anyway.

Israel killing civilians at random probably isn't going to help bring the average Palestinian to their side against Hamas. If they were being nice to the civilians they might actually be willing to help you.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 61 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This might come as a surprise but Israel wants to kill all Palestinians and steal their land. Not "beat Hamas".

[–] k1nk33@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

This is exactly the sentiment. In no reality would they stop once these objectives are met.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (7 children)

If only Hitler would've killed less civilians maybe the invaded countries would've been willing to help him with those awful resistance fighters.

First a statement, so i dont get put into pro or anti anyone. I utterly hate the hamas leader who decided to sacrifice palestinians for their cause by igniting this latest bloodbath just as much a I hate the israely leaders who cheefully accepted the invitation to violently take the land. I dont give a rat's ass about religion and strongly advocate against religion being a incentive to kill or be killed. Let people live for fuck's sake. End of statement. (maybe I need a short motto for this)

Now out of pure curiosity Israel tell gazaan to leave but offer no destinations, surrounding countries will not accept gazan partly out of not wishing to be destabilized and partly not wanting to help israel in the cleansing. Was westbank ever considered as a destination ? if so how was it received? It seem to me to be the least horrific solution.

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Israel is in the process of taking more of the West Bank too, Israel isn't going to let Palestinians stay there long term.

I would love to come across one of the voters that voted for the orange fascist because they thought Kamala would be worse for the Palestines somewhere in the wild. It would be incredible to see if they still feel strongly about it now.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 54 points 5 days ago (13 children)

Most just abstained, voters who actually switched sides don't exist imo. If you voted trump last election, you never would have voted kamala even if she actually tried to win.

That being said, I can't really blame people for drawing the line at genocide of all things. The dems thought they had an easy win so they decided to represent genocide instead of us, the voters. I still voted for them regardless but it felt altogether gross. It shouldn't feel that way, they are supposed to be the good ones.

I don't think we should condone the behavior by pivoting the blame to voters, who are just trying to be heard since clearly the democratic party has stopped listening.

Israeli’s are blood thirsty monsters. Prove me wrong.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 41 points 5 days ago (17 children)

The entire country is sick. The ones in power need to be held accountable and the population as a whole needs a "Denazification". Something that will require generations of reeducation to undue the fascist ethnostate that has indoctrinated children from birth.

Separating this Fascist state from Jewish identity is one of the most important things to do as well. One of the most antisemitic things being done today is when Israel commits genocide and pretends it is doing it for Jews. It is disgusting.
