where are those videos of Israel governments saying that iran is targeting civilians and the world must join together to fight terrorism?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 75 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Terrorists. Just using half-million dollar bombs instead of suicide vests.

So more cowardly

There's a lot of innocent people in Israel that are fighting against the current regime, just like in your country. Don't damn them just because you're angry.

most Israelis (81%) say the military has a very or somewhat good influence on the way things are going in Israel https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/06/20/how-israelis-view-their-government-institutions-and-leaders/

73% of Israeli Jews think that suffering of the Iranian civilian population is not important in Iran War https://en.idi.org.il/articles/59726

Support for Netanyahu's party has gone up since 2023 and support for the opposition has gone down.

There comes a time when you have to admit that the apple is too rotten to be saved. Nothing will change anytime soon; if anything it will only get worse.

Its obviously hyperbole. Completely carpet bombing the population isnt a step I would want to take. But if Israel disappeared overnight, I surely wouldnt miss it.

Also, lets not downplay the killing of thousands and thousands of innocents by Israel.

[–] TractorDuffy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (13 children)

Killing more innocents doesn't solve the problem, AND is the same as your chief complaint.

Don't do that.

The state, as an American ally, conducting genocide in the region needs to "dissapear." The people, cannot dissapear.

You could carpet bomb the settlements in the west bank for sure though.

israelis are definitely not a people that are going to get better over time. Watch any interview with israelis talking about committing war crimes. They are always smiling. They absolutely love killing, and they dont care at all who it was. The only thing that will work is flattening them. Its their inevitable future and nothing can stop that now.

If any other country did this they'd be isolated and cut off.

Yeah but if Israel does anything bad you're not allowed to criticise it because then that's anti-semitism. They can practically do anything, including murder and no one (in government) bats an eye.

Edit: Since people have a problem with this comment, the image is a still frame from a video of the bombimg. Awful.

There are links in the replies, which were not present when I made this comment (it was the first comment on this post).

Original commentWhat's going on is atrocious, but do we have any evidence whatsoever this isn't just five minutes in photoshop? It's not hard to put a bomb silhouette in the sky and blur it a bit.

The timing of this image, the fact that the photographer got the image out, and as far as I'm aware there's not a follow up with the aftermath just tweaks my bullshit sense is all.

The guy with one leg center bottom...doesn't even flinch. He's been through so much...

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

People dont rush to the scene to help anymore either, because evil vermin Israelis like to double-tap strike to kill first responders.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Gaza has the highest decapitated limps per capita in the world thanks to the only democracy in the middleeast and the most moral army of the world. All done with US weapons and money

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 month ago

It's a still frame from a video.

[–] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

This post has a link to a YT video showing this. This image is a still frame from a video camera.

Indonesia and Guatemala beg to differ. This is not the first genocide the west has supported.

Picture of the year

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Israel has forfeited their right to exist. Withdraw all Western aid, let the Arab nations do as they fucking please. Annihilate this hateful little nation of religious fruitcakes. I no longer care what happens to every last man, woman, child and pig.
