And in a few years time we'll learn about the torture and gas chambers of Israel.

I didn't expect anything less. I would have been genuinely surprised had they been returned in a good state. Are we still pretending Israel isn't a murderous ethnostate?

I hope that in the distant future, humanity will be able to look back at Zionist Israel and remember it as one of the most horrific, brutal, and disgusting regimes that ever existed in human history along with likes of nazi Germany and so on.

And I hope the name of every country and political figure that lined up to gleefully serve them is written alongside.

And how mmost of the world countries letting it happen and many was even sinding arms to a terrorist state

The femine in Yemen has been going for much longer and is a direct consequence of Saudi Arabia’s actions. It has cost more life’s than the Israeli Palestinian conflict, too.

The UAE are financing the RSF militia in Sudan, which is responsible for the ongoing genocide in Darfur.

With all justified condemnation of Israel, let’s not forget that there are far bigger and far worse actors in the region.

The occupation of the Palestinians must end. There must be a Palestinian state. But the plight of the Palestinians has been receiving so much attention that it’s very easy to ignore that there are far bigger crises happening, that for some reason are being ignored.

who the fuck do you think the UAE and Saudi Arabia work for? Why does the US protect these monarch dictatorships, supply weapons and logestic aid and supply their military jets, and fully enable them to commit their genocides you cheeky smartbuttocks? Why aren't them bombing them like Iran... aren't they all oppersive regiemes that kill and jail their protestors? Isn't one of the reasons that they serve USA's 51st state Israel and for continuesly providing them with ground, air, and sea shipments of weapons, bombs, oil, and provided them with ground spies, and paid out their countrys' own pocket to make the Gaza genocide happen?

It goes way deeper.. They give them control of lands inside their countries, investments, and total control of their policies. Without Israel none of these genocides would've happened.

Secondly, why the fuck do you think these specific genocides happened in Yemen, Sudan, Lybia... happened?? Each one of these genocides happened to serve and protect Israel! Look who is fighting Israel now.. The Houthis.? The ones who fought the genocide that you complain about not receiving attention. Who do you think the RSF support and work to destabilize Sudan for? Have you read the RSF statements and support for Israel? Who do you think Eygpt's military masassacred their civilians for? Could it be because their first elected president was against Israel? Lebanon wars was for who? Iraq invasion was for who? Iran attacks for who?

Feel free to challenge me on anything I said, and I will show you the evidence to help you get your facts stright

Despite your charming attitude I really see no point in speaking to you

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which is why I said "one of the most" and "along the likes of nazi Germany and so on"

I did not say nor imply it was the only horrific event in human history. You are bringing up whataboutism.

My point is that this comparison is not justified, and actually weakens legitimate criticism of Israel

The femine in Yemen has been going for much longer

Ummm... No.

[–] Landslide7648@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 14 hours ago

I should have been more specific, my bad. I meant that it has been going on for longer than this most recent war, not that it has been going on for longer than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

WW2: Nazi Germany/Soviet Union. Prisoner is guided to a room full of blood and brain matter, is shot in the head.

2025: Zionist Israel. Prisoner is guided to a room full of blood and brain matter, is shot in the head.

They are both the same thing.jpeg

Palestinian dead bodies were returned with torture signs of missing teeth and limps, and hollow inner body missing organs, and rape signs. The Israeli Occupying Forces are a terrorist cartel funded by the US tax payers

[–] silentdon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's ironic that around 80 years ago they were basically in the same situation as the Palestinians

It is how trauma works sometimes if it is not dealt with.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 6 points 3 days ago

An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier captured after the rest of his tank crew were killed said that although he was tortured, his captors granted his request for religious materials including a Torah.

Damn, that's nice of them.
