I don’t understand how anyone can fire upon someone holding a white flag, they should be tried and sentenced.
Because Israelis are raised from birth to view everyone in Gaza as sub-human scum who would kill them at first opportunity if given one. The far right government propaganda has done a number on the population.
Hmm weird the Israeli who I knew wasn’t like that. Sorry to interrupt your broad generalizations
Edit: downvoters mad that I know Israelis who aren’t hateful? That actually surprises you? Think I’m lying? People are fucking weird.
I agree that generalizations don’t make sense. But do you mean they weren’t raised to view Gazans as subhuman or that they don’t look down on Gazans as a grown-up?
Both
Good to know that, I put a lot of faith in Israelis who rise against their own government.
Well I’m not saying their parents are opposed to their government entirely, but they absolutely don’t consider anyone “subhuman”. I haven’t spoken to them in years so I don’t know their take on what’s happening now, but I’d be willing to bet they would at least admit it’s vastly disproportionate to the Hamas actions
Uncivilized has a pretty good short videoon what makes the israeli’s act this way . They are gaslighted into oblivion from birth to believe that Palestinians are the literal Naiz’s
Do let us know if you talk to them. Always nice to hear a different perspective and an example that breaks the stereotype.
That’s anecdotal evidence. Even accepting it as true, which I do, it does not dispute anything I said about the actual, verifiable, systemic brainwashing going on in Israel re: Palestine.
Don’t believe me? How about a video of a former Zionist Israeli man discussing just that: https://x.com/ME_Observer_/status/1731160875308888191?s=20
I’m a Palestinian and I want to thank you for this video. I always wondered what would make indoctrinated Zionists see the wrongs of their actions. This guy found a formula that works: go there and talk to them.
I recommend this documentary interviewing Settlers: https://youtu.be/Eac1l1ozfLc?feature=shared
Especially at minute 10:30
I believe you, but that is separate from what I’m saying. For example, I was brainwashed to think America is the best country on Earth. If it worked, it was temporary as I didn’t believe that by age 20, and I’m far from alone. So I’m just saying that just because there is brainwashing going on there, doesn’t mean “Israelis think Palestinians are sub-human”.
Yeah: extreme rabid violent racism.
It’s why I started calling them Nazis: because of all the variants of Fascism, at the moment with all that we’re seeing in Gaza it’s Nazism that’s the one closest what is being done by Israel.
If you think about it, systematic state-level extreme racism is only natural for an etnostate created during WWII and heavilly reliant on the way of thinking that lead to WWII - that of viewing people not as individual humans whose worth or unworth is defined by their actions and the actions they support but rather as born member of etnicities, with everybody of an etnicity judged as a group to be worthy or unworthy.
So reliant was Israel on etnic identitarianism for its identity and reason to be that when they reached the same level of power and confidence they behave just like all other such nations when they had such power, including the very one which is the Evil Opressor in Israel’s Founding Story: Nazi Germany.
Do you give any credit to Hamas for holding their families as human shields or for decades of suicide bombings and martyrdom?
Weird that Israel has an international coalition of western powers and respected countries behind it, and the coalition behind Palestine is as follows:
- Algeria
- Bangladesh
- Boliva
- Brazil
- Columbia
- Cuba
- Egypt
- Hondura
- Iran
- Iraq
- Jordan
- Malaysia
- Namibia
- North Korea
- Pakistan
- Qatar
- Syria
- Turkey
- Tunisia
- Venezuela
Hamas also has a number of non-state affiliates that support it including:
- Islamic Jihad
- Mujahedeen
- Houthis
- Hezbollah
- Martyr’s Brigade
Really, these are the friends of your friends? You sure you didn’t get tricked? I mean, here you are taking an absolutely ridiculous position so you can stand up for suicide bombers and jihadists.
Sort of seems like it’s more about the fact that Israel desires to be a democracy but is surrounded by Islamic fundamentalists who want to subjugate people under authoritarian theocracies and ancient superstition with zero possibility of granting lasting human rights for tens of millions of people.
The world is not going to miss Hamas after its gone, least of all the human shields Hamas forces to stay behind and be bombed whenever Israel warns people that they are striking a nearby military target.

Wow, appreciate the resources. Commenting to view this later…
Thanks. I also recommend the books Ilan Pappe has done if you want a more academic approach. A lot of this is independent verification of his work that I’ve found.
I’ve been watching countless videos of unarmed civilians being shot and killed. Children running away and being shot. Mothers walking their children being sniped. Empty university buildings being filled with explosives and blown up. Hospitals being bombed and people being sniped through windows. There’s basically no doubt left in my mind that the Israeli military and by extension the government are terrorist forces. In fact them killing more people than Hamas ever killed makes them the biggest terrorists in the region.
The only thing that can end this war is Americans flipping support and to stop obstructing the UN security resolutions. Unfortunately Genocide Joe is probably not watching the same news we all are.
Unfortunately Genocide Joe is probably not watching the same news we all are.
This is a weird comment as it implies that Joe Biden has less information about what is going on in Gaza than the average person who watches the news.
He probably goes straight to bed right after he verbatim reads whatever note Netanyahu gives him.
You can bet many Hamas terrorists already put up a white flag, as IDF testimony say they were already tricked by false “white flags”.
Heck, 3 hostages were killed by the IDF because it was near a fighting area, where Hamas terrorists used the same tactics as the hostages - writing in Hebrew, waving white flags, shouting for help.
The IDF either really suck at recognizing a threat (highly unlikely) or they learned from their mistakes of listening to anyone who isn’t verified friendly.
This whole war is such a tragedy…
Its funny you go around to apologize for IDF while citzen of Israel, and news from Israel are criticizing what is going on.
It is okay, any military are most likely to commit war crime, instead of apologizing hold them responsible…
Bro… Thisishamas . com is a website created by Israel. It’s literally propaganda aimed at convincing you that Israel is justified in what they’re doing. In no way is it trustworthy at all.
To be clear it’s hosted in the US but wix is an Israeli owned software company.
The company was previously reported to encouraged employees to “create videos and creative campaigns” to “support Israel’s narrative”.
Also the website owner has redacted their name for privacy and all available information points to it being created by wix itself. source
There’s a long cut, and the camera zooms in on them before the shots. It’s pretty easy to spot that there’s context that is missing.
It’s probably 50-50 if that context would change anything in reality, but the fact it’s missing could mean anything from the cameraman just getting more background footage to the group putting away their firearms after taking potshots at soldiers. Most likely, it’s somewhere in between all that and they were warned verbally to turn around.
It’s all a conspiracy to malign the most moral army in the world
