For Palestinians in Gaza, the most urgent daily task is the search for water. “Obtaining water has become like prospecting for gold,” explains H., a writer with We Are Not Numbers, “and whoever finds drinkable water is considered wealthy."...
Testimonies coming out now paintt the attack in a different light:
Residents of the kibbutz said that Hamas fighters told them not to be afraid as they were there to fight the IDF, and they state they were not harmed by Hamas.
In fact, they state that the Israeli military fired so much and so indiscriminately that it is very likely the high number of casualties were down to them.
Footage emerging shows Apache helicopters absolutely obliterating everything at the festival and the photos of the damaged vehicles could not have been caused by the weaponry that the Hamad fighters were armed with.
More than half of the original figure of 1600 killed were IDF, with that total being revised down to 1200 with only 1 child under 5.
You’ve been fed bullshit by a military that has a long track record for lying though it’s teeth and bought into them hook line & sinker
Do you condemn Israel for lying & firing so indiscriminately at the festival crowds that they are very likely responsible for the vast majority of casualties?

It’s the antithesis of all the gung-ho apocalyptic films that has all the alpha males wanking off about they would survive & become a leader.
I watched it when it was broadcast & the conversation at school for weeks after was how no-one of us wanted to survive the blast because of how fucking horrific and what a curse it would be!
To me it seems like Gaza had no intention to get rid of Hamas though at the same time bombing is unnecessary.
There hasn’t been elections for 16 or 17 iirc so how can Palestinians “get rid of” Hamas?
Hamas was supported & funded by Netanyahus likud party specifically because it drove a wedge between those in Gaza and in the West Bank. Classic divide and conquer technique.
As for what Israel can do? They can get rid of the genocidal crook that’s running their government and his two murderous far right henchmen and grasp that he had concocted this situation for several reasons:
To divert attention away from his corruption and fraud indictments
To quell the protests that have been going on for months against him because of the corruption and legislation he has passed to curtail the supreme courts ability to hold the executive to account.
You’re talking as though the attacks happened in a vacuum, without intelligence from several sources pre-warning of it and without a certain level of collusion from the Israeli executive to allow it to happen and bring capitalised by then for it’s maximum effect.
When you can genuinely approach the subject not from such a disingenuous perspective then my response may well be perceived by you as a bit more than "If you don’t want to be taken for a cunt then don’t act like one "
That would be the exact reactionary response I would expect from someone with no grasp of the history, its complexity or even a miniscule amount of knowledge of the atrocities that have been carried out against civilians by both sides
Restore Palestine to the 1917 borders. Grant all Palestinians equal rights within those borders. All zionists who were involved in perpetrating war crimes either directly, or indirectly via policy, to face trial at the Hague
I really don’t care whats tenable for a state born out of terrorism that has been carrying out ethnic cleansing and genocide against the indigenous people for the last 70 plus years.
They have no fucking legitimacy and as much right to continue to exist as the NSDAP government after WW2.

No, it needs to be done after Gaza has been ethnically cleansed, the Palestinian people genocided then all those lovely oil & gas reserves can be tapped with the profits pouring into Netanyahus and his co-conspirators bank accounts. Then, and only then should they hold a lip service inquiry into who fucked up!
And they want to build a canal to the gulf of Aqaba and as it’s rock, it can have 2 lanes and take all the traffic from the Suez (which is sand and only 1 lane of traffic)

I’ve gone back there from time to time because there’s not the specialised subs here yet, or those that are don’t have the traffic.
What I’ve found on the main dubs I used to frequent is that they are full of reactionary comments that have no grasp of history, context or empathy.
The specialised subs, maybe were like this and I was just more tolerant to it, are full of low effort “please look at me doing absolutely fuck all in any way of producing meaningful content” posts.
There’s far too many to actually get to the content with effort so the signal to noise ratio is too low to fight off my general contempt of the place.
Also, add in SponsorBlock. It’s an extension that skips embedded adverts within the content but it’s community driven so if it’s not been submitted, it won’t know about it. (Hint: get involved!)
I was using Reddit Is Fun on mobile and a heavily curated desktop feed and migrated here fully when RiF died.
When I’ve looked at Reddit on desktop, it feels like a shadow of it’s former self in so far as some of the default subs are missing and others just seem filled with the same content reach time I’ve looked.
While the place won’t die overnight, it will become more overrun with bots and karma farmers posting same content over and over.
If the end goal of either side isnt the redistribution of the countries wealth, increasing health, education and housing programs then they can both get fucked

There’s a funny anecdote from Professor Ian Roberts that he tells at the launch for his book “The Energy Glut”.
He was approached by coca cola to carry out a study for them and they even suggested they would write the proposal for him so they could work together.
He suggested his own proposal that he research the road deaths and injuries attributed to transporting their nutritionally valueless sugary drink around the world.
