Israeli soldiers filmed themselves playing a piano that was left standing in a destroyed home in southern Lebanon. In response, the piano’s owner shared a video of her playing the instrument before Israel’s invasion.

Hey, give them a break. They're getting PTSD from killing civilians.

Look on the bright side (/s), Third Reich Nazis did too and sealed their place in history by personally documenting their criminality on their own time & dollar. In 80 years no one will be able to credibly deny what happened in Palestine, just the same as no one can credibly deny now what happened in Germany, Poland, France, Czechoslovakia, etc.

Playing a song about a man just killing a man and being scared of the consequences is poetic.

Maybe the IDF soldiers were once again inspired by their role models.

Oof, that long shot, with the flashes of light coming from the windows as Bach plays... haunting.

It's perverse how much time these soldiers seem to have to play around like children. They tell us this is the most highly trained army in the world. They're all kids.

Wonder what's most shocking: IDF ruining the country, or Lebanon itself being property of a handful of super rich.

Fascism and injustice always end up hand in hand.

I believe it's Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

The other song. That the pianist is playing. I did some digging and I think it's a song from the movie the pianist.

u/havasc Nov 05 '24

Oof even more impactful if that is the case.
