I want to see the whole cabinet of Israel charged with war crimes. This isanity of the highest degree. I have no sympathy gor Hamas but this has gone way to far.
Not even a little? I recognise that many of their actions are clearly immoral or inhumane but I’m not self righteous enough to know I wouldn’t do the same if everyone I know was murdered, tortured, raped and starved by Israel.
“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war
Yes, Israel obviously is and always has been the aggressor in this conflict. They are also the much more evil side. Doesn’t mean Hamas is incapable of also committing war crimes
You could take everything from me and I wouldn't start carpet bombing children. Fuck Isreal.
Every single israeli prime minister should have been. It always been too far. There is 77 of israeli abuses
Is Hamas even still a thing? Like as far as I can tell from my armchair halfway around the world they're basically all dead. It seems to me like Hamas has been thoroughly defeated. Gaza is a wasteland and at this point I would be surprised if Hamas could muster up any type of action.
Does it really matter? Israel had the sympathy of the world after Oct. 7 and they threw it all away with their genocidal response. They've created infinitely more enemies than they've killed, and it doesn't matter if these enemies are called Hamas. Israel has guaranteed decades more violence be directed their way by whole new generations.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
May all of Gaza's innocent victims collect their entire spiritual energy from the beyond and curse the lives of every Israeli soldier who participated in this genocide for all eternity. Including Netanyahu's direct family.
it is targeted killing ...
Given the fact that war crimes are being committed in Gaza, this is neither funny nor edgy. She died a hero and reporter, not just an influencer.
Then why the fuck refer to her as an influencer? Influencers are just walking brand logos. They are obnoxious and unimportant. What you described sounds like something very different.
When you judge people using labels and ignore every nuance, you're the cause of the miscommunication, not the use of a label that has an actual meaning outside of your seemingly very judgemental understanding.
Because she goes on social media trying to influence people into doing something about the genocide.
A bit daft arent ya
Jesus fucking christ. She died in a genocide you sack of shit.
Every country in that region sucks. Especially Iraq through Afghanistan. Let them kill each other off.
The Americans who show support for Palestine would get their heads chopped off if they visited that place. It's a bit ironic to support a country that hates Americans.
It's alright, anything to root against the Jews, who were actually involved in a genocide. And fairly recently. 6 million Jews. And people wonder why they're so defensive against attacks.
The same WW2 vets that fought the actual Nazis are getting booed today. From the few videos I've seen, I hope that's a minority of shitbags.
Hamas isn't our friend. You can't ignore Oct 7th, that was shitty in and of itself no matter if Israel provoked it or not. Israel is an ally. Palestine is not.
Fuck the people whose rooting against Israel just because Trump supports them.
I'm not here to start any fights. I've been to that region, and they really don't want any interference from the west. Especially after the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
"Let them kill each other off" is a cold way to talk about a conflict where one side is a nuclear-armed state backed by the West, and the other is a stateless people under occupation. This isn’t a fair fight—it’s a military superpower bombing refugee camps, hospitals, and UN schools while starving 2 million civilians.
You claim Palestinians would "chop heads off" Americans, but the U.S. has armed Israel for decades while it bulldozes homes, steals land, and locks millions in an open-air prison. If Palestinians hate American policy, can you blame them? Meanwhile, Israel gets billions in U.S. weapons while its politicians call for the "flattening of Gaza." Who’s really the ally here?
Yes, Hamas is brutal—but they didn’t appear out of nowhere. Decades of occupation, blockade, and apartheid radicalized people. That doesn’t justify Oct. 7, but ignoring the context is dishonest. Collective punishment—starving kids, bombing families—only creates more extremism.
And spare me the Holocaust guilt-tripping. Using Jewish suffering to justify Palestinian suffering is grotesque. Many Holocaust survivors, like those in Jewish Voice for Peace, opposed Zionism. Israel’s government includes far-right ministers who praise settlers burning Palestinian villages—are they "defending Jews" or fueling genocide?
The West props up Israel while pretending to care about "human rights." If you’ve really been to the region, you’d know: this isn’t about "rooting for Jews or Arabs." It’s about ending occupation, apartheid, and Western hypocrisy.
When I said "let them kill each other off", it was brutal. I know I went too far with that statement.
But I agree with the occupation, and western hypocrisy. It's sad to see , and it brings out the worst in humanity. Sometimes I think it's just better to start over.
I am aware that Israel has been moving against the Palestinian population for a while, and that created a vacuum, similar to Afghanistan and Iraq. Oct 7th attack may have been an offensive maneuver to thwart further Israeli attacks, but all it did was made it worse. Now Netanyahu is going to "exterminate all of the animals".
Either there needs to be intervention, by the west who usually causes such vacuums, or Israel will succeed. Cause if any other nation wages war on Israel, that's going to be a problem too.
We all live* on the same planet. Only habitable planet for light years. I've seen war and it's not worth the price.
Sometimes I just think our destruction is inevitable.
I don't support meddling in another country's plight. Especially a country that hates the west. I don't support genocide. You don't even know what's going on over there.
People dismiss the Oct 7th attacks, no matter how destructive it was, as a non factor because of Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories.
If Hamas never attacked and launched over 4,000 rockets into Israel and caused thousands of deaths and casualties, would Israel still treat them as "animals" and starve them out?
And why do you have a sudden affliction for Palestinians? Just because Trump is friends with Netanyahu? Because Israel is really trying to eliminate Palestinians, even before Oct 7th? Because you listen to MSM?
Like I said, none of those countries want interference from the west and they hate Americans. Even before the OEF/OIF wars.
You're big and strong, perhaps you can volunteer and deploy to that region, and put your money where your dirty mouth is.
"If Hamas never attacked and launched over 4,000 rockets into Israel and caused thousands of deaths and casualties, would Israel still treat them as "animals" and starve them out? "
The blockade started back in the 90s, so yes, they absolutely would.

"Israeli government accounts on the social media site X have been posting a video with a quote from a freed hostage, in which she says that “there are no innocent civilians” in Gaza"
You don't agree with me, so you wish death upon me?
Tell me you're a Democrat without telling me you're a Democrat.
I bet you'd exterminate all of the right wingers just because you don't agree with them. But yet you call Republicans fascist. How ironic.
It's almost better to pull a doctor Bashir and just surrender. Let them relocate you and then try to survive. Is that better than just dying for nothing? You might say no because its your homeland, but at least your PEOPLE will survive?
It's a crazy situation without a good solution. I mean, other than Iseral laying the fuck off.
how does an 11 year old surrender? walk up to a border crossing and say "please relocate me" and hope they don't rifle butt her head?
I know we're probably in agreement, but this is probably suicide. I think they pretty much shoot anyone near those border crossing/checkpoints that they aren't pre-notified on.
At this rate, there won't be anyone left to surrender
There are plenty of good solutions with the best one being international intervention. Letting the Likud party get away with genocide is not one of those options like you have implied it to be.
Right, it's a world problem, and who has stepped up? Who will the world abandoned next?
You're a horrible person or a bot
Fuck off
Israel doesn't want to relocate Palestinians, they want to kill them, while actively preventing them from relocating.
They’re not dying for nothing. The state of Israel in its current form will not survive this war.
Right, because they'll have a new form that includes the West Bank and a chunk of Syria.
It already includes the West Bank and a chunk of Syria.
According to whom? Even Israel calls them "settlers."
Israel considers the Syrian Golan heights and large chunks of the Palestinian West Bank including Jerusalem as parts of Israel. They effectively occupy and control the entire area of Palestine.
Of course Israel considers them part of Israel. That's their alleged casus belli.
If we let the americans, sure. At some point hopefully somebody will nuke washington
Indiscriminate murder of 600,000 people won't solve anything. Do you have an actual point or did you just want people around you to know that you have a bloodthirsty power fantasy?
Well what's your solution?
Whatever it is it clearly doesn't work.
The rest of the UN could step up and reorganize to eliminate the permeant veto ability. UN contributions should be increased to a %GDP so that we can have a UN peacekeeping force with actual teeth.
I don't have to know what will work in order to know what won't work. What do you think killing 600,000 people indiscriminately accomplishes? Blowing up a nuke in the US will only make every brown person on the face of the planet suffer and by extension everyone else as well. The retaliation would make the Crusades look like a mild skirmish. Every single right wing evangelical whack job would be voted directly into office. There would be muslim extermination camps created. Not to mention the barbaric notion that killling 600,000 people for vengence is downright evil. What you're proposing though has extreme consequences that you haven't even begun to fathom.
I also don't think you'll approach the conversation with any unbias point of view considering you already decided whatever I say won't work. Maybe I think you should wear a silly hat and ask Congress nicely to quit killing kids? That would be more effective than killing 600,000 people and way less evil.
You'd say the same to ucranians? Or you think only brown palestinian people don't deserve to have their homeland?
The question is getting wiped off the planet or relocated. Of course they have a right to their homeland. But obviously a force is about to kill them all. So do they live or die off completely? What would you choose?
I'd probably leave and then blow myself up in the middle of crowd in berlin lmao.
Revenge time
I dont know, get relocated and form resistance cells would be a better use of your life I would think. Or of course dying for your homeland. But you're already in such a helpless situation. Putting up a fight in those conditions, you're chances are slim to none.
I think you literally just described how hamas came about, and look where that's gotten us.
Millions on indian died for freedom and decolonization
I love DS9, but I sincerely don't get the Dr. Bashir reference here.
Remember when he was working with the other genetically enhanced humans? They decided that surrendering would be the greatest course of action because it saved the most lives.
Federation rejected it, of course, but in the end...wormhole "gods" saved everyone. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Statistical_Probabilities_(episode)
I think the "11 year old killed" part is the one that should make you feel bad.
The influencer part is pretty irrelevant to the overall issue here, even if it might be relevant to other aspects of the story.
Plot twist: floo is an influencer
"Influencer" means she's talking about what it's like to live in gaza, idiot. She's not selling VPNs
You’re not supposed to feel bad she was an influencer, whatever that means. You’re supposed to feel bad that 11-year-old children are being intentionally targeted by airstrikes.
Man this is Reddit levels of bait at least make it believable
Cool
So him being 11-year-old child that was murdered is canceled out by the fact that he was an influencer?
Apparently he's not the only one. Should we all learn english?
At any point while typing this comment you could have realized you were talking about an 11 year old child killed in a genocide and instead simply stopped. In fact, it’s not too late to delete it!
Thanks for admitting you read nothing but the headline.
Israel and Zionists want you to believe that Palestinians are human animals that want to kill all jews in those circumstance yes "influencers" are important
Yikeeees
Lazy troll
If she had been a reporter instead, would you feel this way? And what would she have had to have done so you considered her a journalist rather than some death-worthy influencer? If she had "official credentials" would then it have been upsetting?
Some of these posts feel like bots or rage bait. No one is that stupid.
You don't feel bad because they are an influencer who happened to be a child, you feel bad because they are a child who happened to be an influencer.
Your priorities are backwards. A kid got killed, it doesn't matter WHAT their side-hustle was.
