Tel Aviv has stepped up indiscriminate attacks against displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza due to the army’s failure to ‘dismantle’ Hamas

Slightly misleading title: Preliminary estimates range from 80-200 dead, uncounted hundreds wounded.

Fuck israel.

The latest count on Al-Jazeera was 109 with over 800 wounded, and reports of 40 bodies bulldozed away that no one can reach. They did shoot at a crowd of thousands.

No. The article says the number wounded is likely in the hundreds. The headline is exaggerating a tragic event.

Let’s not split hairs between dead or wounded. Getting wounded while starving and no hospitals functioning and everyone around you has dysentery dooms someone to a very slow, very painful death.

They’re shooting to kill. If they hit someone, that person has been gunned down whether they die immediately or after bleeding out. They’re shooting at a crowd of thousands, and 800 are dead or dying as a result, according to Al Jazeera. So maybe we need to wait a few more hours before the 1000+ number can be confirmed, but it’s already obvious Israel was aiming for ‘thousands’.

“Israel” really wants to dethrone nazi Germany as the most openly genocidal fascist state huh.

No wonder zionists and nazis have a history of cooperating. Might as well be the same thing.

They try to not be open about it though, at least to its own population, unlike “israel”.

It’s basically a US colony in Palestine though so ig it’s a moot point.

No, not really. There’s a lot of whitewashing of US history, especially in textbooks. If you ask the average American they wouldn’t even call anything the US did “genocide.”

That genocide isn’t the only genocide the US has been part of, either as a direct genocidier or indirectly by supporting the genocidal regime.

The IDF says Palestinians were hurt by “pushing and trampling”

How irresponsible of the starving Palestinians not to file out in an orderly manner while being shot.

It’s the shooting part that’s the problem you sack of shit, it’s the using food as bait for a death trap that’s the problem, you fucking cretin

This is what happens when humanitarian aid is denied for weeks. When food becomes not only scarce but literally gone, there is no order, there is no line, it’s every person for themselves. Just looking at some of the replies to that X post reminds me:

  1. Why I don’t touch Birdsite anymore
  2. That many people are reptiles wearing human skin.
  3. That Gaza has become a death camp, run by Israel, overseen by the weakest hands the world could provide.

You do realise Israel can open one of their northern crossings and deliver that humanitarian aid with trucks, but they decided not to.

And then stating that they are the victim here is absolutely and utterly ridiculous. They have deliberately created this reality. At any point in time they could have decided to prevent this from happening but nope, they did not.

Plus air drop is an extremely expensive and ineffective way to deliver humanitarian aid and is definitely NOT a long term solution, which has a more symbolic role than anything else.

They don’t really believe they’re shooting at Hamas. They believe they’re shooting at subhuman animals. This is the genocidal mindset.

There’s a Twitter link here from the IDF. The comments show exactly what they are thinking “these are ants, look how funny it is that we killed 100 of them”.

Literally people cheering for a military shooting at starving people. Christ this is what Nazis look like.

How long before Israel starts ironically selling arab skinned lamps?

That’s the thing; they are basically nazis. Zionists have the same goal as nazis of getting Jews out of Europe and weaponizing and exacerbating antisemitism for an imperialist agenda (here, that’s colonialism and the destabilization of the middle-east).

It’s a fascist colony built on the continued genocide and ethnic cleansing of the native Palestinians. It’s inevitable that what you get is a similarly fascist population not unlike that of nazi Germany. Specially with half of the colony’s population being military conscripts who directly carry out the genocide.

The amount of “comedic” TikToks I’ve seen taken by IDF scum gloating and dancing over the murder of innocent Palestinians is sickening. Filth like this is the very definition of evil. Boycott Divest Sanction of Israel now, in no particular order

They know what they are doing. They want the land, but first they need to kill all of the people living there.

This is not coincidence. This is policy.

If it were just an “Assault Rife,” like an M16 or Uzi or something, then the casualties wouldn’t be nearly as high. But according to the article it was a heavy machine gun, like one of these:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M240_machine_gun

Which is something that is only depicted in Hollywood films when they want to really drive home the war-crime “bad guy” aspect by having the Nazi’s fire into a crowd.

Yes, but you know the cruelest thing isn’t the bullets, the bombs or the artillery. It is setting up a population of over a million purposefully in an impossible situation with nowhere to go, no access to hospitals (because you specifically destroyed them one by one), and no access to electricity, clean water or food.

Imagine having a fish tank full of cool little fish and just deciding you didn’t want it anymore so you unplugged the lights and oxygenator and stuck the aquarium outside your window in the cold. Then you pulled up a comfy chair next to the window and just sat and watched as the fish slowly starved, suffocated and froze to death. This is what Israel is doing to Gaza, except Gaza is full of human beings not fish.

Actually maybe I am being unfair, in this metaphor the IDF would probably put a post it note on the fish tank that said “EVACUATE AREA” which if you think about it really gives the fish the choice to stay or leave.
