OccamsTeapot, in Israeli hostages killed in Gaza were holding white flag, official says

So many pieces of news just establish that the IDF is full of pussies. “He’s waving a white flag… WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! TAKE HIM OUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD”

DashboTreeFrog,

But seriously, I do imagine they’ve been fed enough propaganda about “the enemy” willing to do anything that naked people with a white flag can still look like Hamas trying to trick them. Fucked up

Two things that IDF and US law enforcement share is both being scared 24/7, and constantly going out of their way to do everything possible to paint civilians as active enemy combatants/terrorists. Yet they always like to say shit like “if you haven’t done anything wrong, then you have nothing to fear” to us. Also love to do everything to give off the air of being such “badasses protecting the masses”. Fuck all of them, and they will certainly have much to fear once the masses start to actually come for them. Not very leftist of me to say, but if they are finally taken I can only hope that they are not given fast or painless ends. As they had their chance to stand with the masses and chose to be lapdogs for zionists/fascists/the oppressors of the working classes. Reactionaries are pussies and take out their rage on everyone they feel is weaker than they are.

NoneOfUrBusiness, in Israeli hostages killed in Gaza were holding white flag, official says

Their only mistake here was shooting the guy who spoke Hebrew. Everything else is just Tuesday for the IDF.

SuddenDownpour, in Israeli hostages killed in Gaza were holding white flag, official says

“They’re all without shirts and they have a stick with a white cloth on it. The soldier feels threatened and opens fire. He declares that they’re terrorists. They (the Israeli forces) open fire. Two (hostages) are killed immediately,” the official told reporters in a phone briefing.

The third hostage was wounded and retreated into a nearby building where he called for help in Hebrew, the official said.

“Immediately the battalion commander issues a ceasefire order, but again there’s another burst of fire towards the third figure and he also dies,” the official said. “This was against our rules of engagement,” he added.

But remember, not a genocide.

s1ndr0m3,

The IDF’s policy seems to be, “Kill them all. Let Yahweh sort them out.”

Koof_on_the_Roof,

I think you’re technically correct in this instance.

guriinii, in Israeli hostages killed in Gaza were holding white flag, official says

Probably standard IDF practice considering they’ve been doing this to Palestinian civilians since they entered Gaza.

Yeah, I don’t see why the practice would be any different apart from someone having to account for the deaths since they were Israeli citizens and they happened before too many witnesses in this instance.

gregorum, in U.S. and Ukraine Search for a New Strategy After Failed Counteroffensive

Give Ukraine offensive weapons. Unless Moscow is under real threat, they have no reason to ever stop.

@Krause@lemmygrad.ml avatar

yes, we need to get more and more people killed, 100 billion dollars didn’t do the job but 100 more ought to be enough to quench the westerner thirst for blood

gregorum,

Right, because “The West” is responsible for Russia’s illegal invasion of another sovereign nation, lmao.

Take that crap someplace else.

TexMexBazooka,

Just Lemmy.ml things

brain_in_a_box,

What a complete non-sequitur

ShimmeringKoi, (edited )

Literally is but go off king

And lol what do you think is a legal invasion? One where they file the paperwork?

A legal invasion is like how I raided my own liquor cabinet last night.

mihies,

You are right, though. Ukraine needs more and better weapons to kick Russians out. There are only two possible outcomes, either Russia conquers Ukraine or they are kicked out. Instead of giving the edge to Ukraine, west is playing on perpetual war, so the war industry profits - at least it looks like that. And of course, blood is mostly on Putin's hands.

therealjcdenton, in Protesters Shut Down Los Angeles Highway to Demand Ceasefire in Gaza

It was Hamas that broke the ceasefire that was already in place. And it’s Hamas’s war on Israel not the reverse

frshmt,

Brand new account shilling for Israel…not sketchy at all

Linkerbaan, in Protesters Shut Down Los Angeles Highway to Demand Ceasefire in Gaza

Great initiative.

The peaceful protests are over.

Next phase is nonviolent disruption. Block infrastructure.

brain_in_a_box, in U.S. Empire Humiliated at the UN: The World Stands with Palestine!

It’s becoming increasingly obvious everyday that the dominance of the USA empire will have to crumble before the world can start improving.

Chainweasel, in Protesters Shut Down Los Angeles Highway to Demand Ceasefire in Gaza

I don’t disagree that the conflict has to stop, but I don’t see how anyone can force a ceasefire between two separate independent countries. What action do they think the US can take to force this situation? No matter what you offer or withhold it’s still ultimately up to the individual parties involved.

Linkerbaan,

America only cares about money. This shit costs them HUGE money.

This is exactly how you stop the war by shutting down infrastructure.

Chainweasel, (edited )

Ok, but this war is between Israel and Hamas, what can America do about it other than what they’ve always done and bomb the shit out of both sides?
It’s like protesting in Toronto because they don’t like a new policy in Tokyo.

drislands,

True, though the US is one of the biggest suppliers, if not the biggest, for Israel’s military.

PersnickityPenguin,

The US just vetoed a ceasefire agreement in the UN security council.

badaboomxx, in Protesters Shut Down Los Angeles Highway to Demand Ceasefire in Gaza

Instead of going to their local government, they deside to close a road… if they want to be branded as idiots, this is a good way of doing that.

TokenBoomer,

Yeah, why didn’t the American’s go to their government instead of protesting with the Boston Tea Party?

badaboomxx,

Rhe issue is that doing protests that way is not going to win sympathy from the people who is using the road.

TokenBoomer,

Why didn’t the Americans protests differently to get sympathy from the British?

badaboomxx,

There are ways to protest, but this is not efecive especially for the people using the road

TokenBoomer,

History says otherwise.

Browsing through top posts, and damn this didn’t age very well lol

brain_in_a_box,

And none of the libs have learned a thing. They’re busy gushing over the claim that 90 percent of Russia’s army has been destroyed, and all the previous claims of imminent victory have been memory holed.

eluvatar, in U.S. Empire Humiliated at the UN: The World Stands with Palestine!

Since when is the US an empire?

Bay_of_Piggies,

Since they had a base in every corner of the globe with multiple outpost territories and a neo-colonial relationship with much of the developing world.

brain_in_a_box,

Realistically it has for most of its history, but it’s real zenith was the post WW2 period.

NoiseColor, in Ukraine needs new troops so badly it is taking people's passports and tried to recruit a mentally disabled man

… allegedly… at least one case…

What a piece of news, definitely absolute proof of how the war is going!
