Opinion: I'm an American doctor who went to Gaza. What I saw wasn't war — it was annihilation
As a surgeon, I volunteered at a Gaza hospital. The conditions were unthinkable. With a ground offensive in Rafah, people have nowhere to go.
“On one occasion, a handful of children, all about ages 5 to 8, were carried to the emergency room by their parents. All had single sniper shots to the head.”
How much of a shitty person do you have to be, to snipe little kids in the head?
154That's the point of 'The Banality of Evil' and the Milgram experiments.
There is nothing special or different about the Israelis, or for that matter the Nazis. They were normal people.
The only silver lining about the Milgram experiments is that they showed that if people were aware that the default nature of human beings was to follow orders, no matter how horrible, they would be inoculated, somewhat, to following those orders.
Please note, Israel is committing an unjustified horrible fucking genocide. None of this is an excuse for that. But you better recognize that there isn't too much that differentiates you from those snipers, because if you don't recognize that then you could be one of them in the future.
34Reminds of that interview with US drone-operators. "Cutting the grass before it grows tall", "fun-sized terrorists". Pure evil
9Less a necessarily bad person, and more an ideologically influenced one, I’d wager. Sure, there’s probably a couple psychopaths mixed in too

What does 'bad person' even mean?

This is as much America's genocide as it is the Zionists. They are providing all the weapons and giving the political cover for Israel to act with total impunity.
63right. imagine what would happen if people stopped feeding them weapons

I'm glad bro made it back in one piece considering he was Hamas the moment he arrived to help.
40Ctrl-f: genocide
Phrase not foundIt's frustrating that so many who even talk about this are apparently too chickenshit to say what it actually is. Israel is openly committing Genocide. History will not be kind to Benjamin Netanyahu or the IDF.
25@Onihikage we have been calling this a genocide for months now and we have multiple articles on it a day. We can't say "genocide is genocide" on every single post about the genocide.
This community is talking about morality in relation to those who kill children. On one of the other lemmys this article is posted, they are trying to decide what the food is in the picture.

It took this fucking long for mainstream media to finally fucking call it what it is; a genocide, and they didn't even use the fucking word once.
9Because the correct word to use is war. Yeah war is hell.
It's an effective propaganda tactic to repeat the same lie over and over again, but it is in the end propaganda. And that's all the Israel is committing genocide meme is. Propaganda.
Reputable news organizations aren't going to print propaganda no matter how many times a terrorist group plants it into your social media feed.
-5War with who? Gaza isn't a separate country, it's a territory mostly controlled by Israel.
4it's not really war when one side can't escape or retreat.
4Does that Israeli dick taste good?

This looks to me like biscuits thrown to the moral "dog". If this fact is an opinion while the "fact" decided by NATO Zionist media is a lie, then there is not much left to be said. Acting like the whole non-Anglo world should just sit around, instead of storming and wiping out every single piece (not human) of IDF, is really stupid to me. All while blocking any NATO country official entry into Palestine/Israel, since ICC cannot do anything either way.
