[ABC] Israeli forces kill dozens in Gaza protests...
[Guardian] Israeli troops kill dozens of Palestinians in protests...
Might be a better idea to address the reasons why israel is blockading Gaza instead of zerg rushing 40k people towards a border fence and sending people on suicide missions to try to blow up the fence with explosives. It's interesting that they complain about not getting enough resources when they destroyed the Gaza side of the border crossing dedicated to bringing supplies into Gaza and also destroyed a gas line into Gaza.
I hear now is a good time to open a brand new embassy in the holy city of several of the world's biggest and bloodiest religions!
Rushing the border was a bad idea?
Gee wiz, didnt see that coming.
Oh right, its organised by Hamas.
Well, we can definitely say that Hamas' latest PR campaign was a huge success.
It's easy to tell who's evil, if they're hiding behind children.
fuck israel, jesus
Is anything Israel does unjustified to you
"Why are these people that we've been oppressing and illegally occupying for decades attacking us?"
You could easily turn that around and say why are the people the surrounding arab nations, including the palestinians, have been talking about genociding for decades trying to guard themselves.
sabra and shatila was p fucked, the societial oppression against Mizrahim/sephardim/Russians/Ethopians is pretty fucked, the people killed by the mossad who were innocent and mossad acted off of bad information, that's fucked, the withdrawal from Gaza, helping Hamas get off the ground, kicking arabs out during 1948 due to disorganized command, not cracking down on Kahanist movements more
that's just off the top of my head, israel is far from a perfect country
Imo, This will never get solved. These people will hate and murder each other until the end of time, so fuck it.
The murder seems to mainly go one way.
Pretty astounding piece of ignorance. Israel have been fighting defensive wars against the surrounding Arab states who have come to attack them simultaneously, like 3 or more countries at once all through its history. The rhetoric from Arab politicians against Israel has always been genocidal. And if Israel wasn't backed by american interests it'd have been completely destroyed a long time ago, with who knows what sort of consequences for the jews living there.
So this is tribal warfare that has been going on for decades, rooted in centuries of additional tribal hatred. Both sides think their magic abloogeywoo lives in the desert/ That the land originally belonged to them. Either side have book of grudges-level lists of atrocities committed against the other, and neither side will back down or become more moderate as demonstrated by what we see here.
Luckily i have fuck-all to do with this idiotic waste of lives, money and energy, so i can choose to care about shit that there is actually hope for.
When did western media become a propaganda arm for Hamas?
For the last couple decades if you check sources other than Fox News.
why is it always "we" with you?
this is your whole problem; you define your entire being by your affiliation
I was unaware reporting on conflicts and death was propaganda.
The propaganda bit is where they try to present them as "protests" and not violent riots with the intent of destroying the border and wreaking havoc, as the leaders of Hamas have publically stated.
Honestly, Fuck everything about israel on any day of the week, but why the fuck would people do this and not expect bad shit to happen? Op is sensationalist and misleading as fuck.
we because im a citizen of israel?
americans use the we and it's alright but when I do it it's not?
"Why are these soldiers guarding a border?"
"Fuck it, we'll just offer 500$ for anyone willing to get shot so we can get some good headlines."
Literally fueling Hamas' campaign for war, way to go.
What border fence? There's a fence, but no border. To be a border there would need to be a recognized state. It is better described as a jail fence.
This might change in the near future however since this administration seems to want to recognize Israel (moving embassy) and gives even less of a fuck about civilian casualties.
Also the usa once again blocked the UN from doing an independent investigation into the fence.

"We're the good guys"
In case someone wants to get in a zinger about my source using the word "border" just stop.
Even if that were true "We heard about the guys giving $500 for people to get shot, joke's on them because we'll shoot them" doesn't make them any better. Esp. since they get free shit from the usa every day and have enough weapons and training to beat every state in the region while the other dudes have nothing.
The pro-israel shills are coming in force boys. Pretty hilarious how desperate these arguments are for unnecessary escalations of violence against an adversary that is literally using 'stones' to defend themselves vs a state that likely has it's own undisclosed stockpile of nuclear weapons. This is literally like shooting fish in a barrel with high-caliber fully-automatic assault rifles.
If you can honestly bring yourself to defending actions as abhorrent as these then you are either a shill or morally blinded by some dogmatic ideal. In either case you are not contributing to a healthy dialogue of these events you are trying to bury it. No people deserve the treatment the Palestinians are subject to at the hand of Zionist Israel.
Do you realize that the UN resolution was put up by Kuwait, and, as far as I can tell, it had no non-Arab support. At least recognize that you are on the side of the authoritarian regimes of the middle east.
I'm not too surprised to see the usual suspects in this thread lobbying for Israel -- again.
However I think I agree with Germany's statement the most on the issue, restraint should've been used, fifty people dead (and maybe more) is pretty ridiculous for a nation that's armed to the teeth.
Can we please have people who dislike what Israel is doing who don't say shit like "Zionist Israel"?
Fuck. You know nobody wants to hear this shit. Fuck off with it.
Arguing semantics is not really the best way to approach this.
There is a difference between demanding sovereignty and demanding that you personally receive someone else's land.
the word zionist means something you know. specifically, it means "Movement that supports the creation of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the Land of Israel." i don't know why on earth you would think that someone who says 'zionist israel' is someone who hates jews. this is the most ridiculously dumb post i've ever seen.
