If you only criticize civilian casualties when Palestine resists, then your concern isn't civilian casualties. Your concern is Palestine resisting massacre.

It isn't anti-Semitism to criticize israel, it's just noticing the obvious.

I'm mostly pro Palestine, but using this picture with the subtitle 'history repeats itself' and therefore portraying what happened at the festival, and the other slaughter missions as a tiny goofy missile, feels kinda disproportionate. Don't you think?

Dafuq is this meme? civilians are civilians, regardless of the country religion or whatever the duck they're born in.

I think I'm going to take an extended break from Lemmy. People are treating a 70+ year political quagmire like a football match, where they pick a side and then morally grandstand about how awful the other side is. Fuck all of you.

I agree with the comic. I do however disagree with the title. I think the Hamas' attack shouldn't to be called "resistance", just as Israel's response shouldn't be called "self defense".

Upvote this to the front page so that lemmy world sees it.

Each time people try to justify Hamas as Palestine resisting massacre when they go on a killing spree on an international music festival makes me care less. People who criticize Israel will also criticize Hamas killings, and the more you work to associate Hamas to Palestinians and the more that Palestinians themselves associate, support, and congratulate these terrorists, the more that we as third parties will stop caring and pull back to let you kill yourselves for your imaginary blood beliefs.

This is highly misleading. Hamas is not palestine and vice versa. What israel is fighting against is hamas, who are cowardly hiding behind civilians. The only reason the israeli can survive thousands of rocket launch from hamas over the years was because of their superior defence system. Hamas' own rocket sometimes fell into their own territory, killing palestinian, but many people would just shut their eyes to this.

I mean, both Hamas and Israeli leadership should be prosecuted for war crimes

I just think this situation shouldn't have even been reached in the first place...

Is this cartoon originally about the US invading the middle east? Looks like the twin towers in there.

Take a look at this guy's other Palestine Israel Post and decide if you wanna upvote this terrorist enjoyer.

free palestine

im not pro palestine im anti israel

war is hell, neither side is good, but resistance is only human

Lemmy is full of authoritarian xenophobes (read: white kids from wealthy backgrounds) who support the brutalization of the Palestinian people and open air prison they're forced into. That's why you never heard a peep from them about the murders of innocent Palestinians that have been nonstop since the establishment of the Apartheid state of Israel. You won't find much support here among these right wing war mongers.

Casualties? Hamas wanted to kill as many citizens of Israel as possible, no matter of what nationality they were. Even tourists were killed. Casualties are about bad luck, but Hamas victims were murdered because of evil intention. They cannot be compared to Palestinian casualties in any way.

@matcha_addict
The issue here is similar to most of the land contest issues in the world: what historical period you use to determine land ownership. As an example: most of the current territory of Russia was once occupied by Mongolian tribes under the leadership of Chenghis Khan. So if that's the frame of reference you use, Mongolia has legitimate rights to wage war to reclaim their land.

Man is there any popular meme communities on lemmy that ban Political posts? Getting sick of this community.

Nuke em both, problem solved.

1155 upvotes, 342 downvotes. This can be used to estimate how many percentage of true fascists exist across federated instances. These are majorly western predditors. Lemmy seems to be a truer representation of internet in proportion to global population, compared to 80% Anglos that use preddit.

I love conflicted podcast. Condensed: fuck organizers of these attacks (likely iran) just before historic peace treaties in the region. They knew fully well what would the response be.

Whenever Israel says their gonna bomb a place to let civilians leave, the Hamas make the civilians stay so they get killed along with them. The Hamas are monsters

Lol op is delusional. People are provideding facts Hamas wants Jews dead but just ignores them. Cause Israel bad.

If according to Hamas, martyrs go to heaven and infidels go to hell, Hamas should seek to maximize civilian casualties, right?

both sides are stupid. youd think after all these years of fighting a compromise could be found, but NO, they just always fight. gives me the feeling that they dont want it any other way.

One site is kidnapping children and senior citizens, raping them und displaying them in public. The other is demolishing buildings, where a terror organisation is hiding, with a 3h notice.

No offence but you fell for pollywood
