u/Independentizo May 12 '24
It doesn’t matter anymore. Really it doesn’t. Palestine granted freedom to the world. Freedom to finally see what our world truly is. The playground of the powerful. Those in Gaza I feel are actually lucky, it’s what happens now to the rest of us that worries me. We can’t go back as a species anymore. We can’t go back to humanity when we have excused the most brutal genocidal regime and allowed them to do what they want. This is the end now. If and when power shifts, the brutality will be tenfold. There are no rules anymore. No laws. No respect. Gaza showed us the monster, and the world either turned their face or accepted the monster with open arms.

This is so true. I was just telling my husband the other day. We lost all humanity. Now we are next. This is so sad. After all the previous war crimes that have been committed you’d think there’s no way anyone would get away with shit like this again. But here we are.

It’s not just that. It’s the dissolution of trust. Like we thought we were the good people. That our countries in the west actually wanted to lead humanity. Instead it’s revealed that the west is cruel and callous and corrupt. We can’t back Israel and then pretend that Russia or China or Iran are bad, we are all bad. That’s the point. We have no more humanity left. We have bombs, money, power and greed. I don’t know what comes next. Maybe not now but for future generations. It’s why I think the US is doing what it’s doing now, blindly supporting and enabling Israel, cause it’s a message that they’re going to burn the world if they ever feel really threatened. And that’s a very scary thought.

Have you read history? We're in the "relatively" quiet happy times right now, and it will probably stay that way until the day we all turn to glass.
But fuck the genocide tho, and fuck anyone who pretends its justified.

May 12, 2024. Israeli military tanks have started to go deeper into the Jabalia refugee camp as part of a new offensive in northern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera correspondent. The development comes after Israel “carpet-bombed” the camp, killing and wounding several Palestinians. The attacks come as Israel launches a new ground assault there, months after announcing Hamas had been “dismantled” in the area. Al Jazeera’s Anas Al Sharif reports from Jabalia in northern Gaza.

u/Adventurous_Aerie_79 May 12 '24
The right wing of Israel's goal is to attack its neighbors and continue its expansion. At this point they are so heavily armed and well equipped that they can crack all their neighbors like eggs. They will find or create some excuse to do it, but I imagine the entire muslim world is trying appeasement first.
“We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai.” David Ben-Gurion

I’ll upvote you for the sentiment. But nonetheless committing genocide is not “terrorism”. Conducting an air strike and then circling back to bomb the emergency responders is called “double tapping” not “carpet bombing”.
No, i am not condoning double tapping. It is simply the correct term for this particular evil act shown in the video.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tap#Double_tap_strike
The reporter was not speaking English so we would need fluent speakers to determine whether or not the report was inaccurate. Even if the speaker botched the terms the footage shows the story.

u/stoner_woodcrafter May 13 '24
Well, I have to agree with you in the sense that this type of attack is clearly identifiable as a "double tap".
But when I mean terrorism, I mean it 100%, as what the concept really means. The terrorist could kill maybe only 1 person, if you think, as a number, it's not much. But the real harm caused is to the mind and the psychological aspect of it. If a lone wolf stabber kills a single person, it's already enough for all those people to feel like they are part of a target group, and then a single kill causes fear into who knows how many people.
When they bomb a single place that was considered a safe heaven, it doesn't really matter the numerical amount of dead people. Now, everyone will feel like there is just no safe heaven at all, nowhere. This is the real damage of terrorism, it targets the minds and the feelings, much more than the bodies

I'm not someone who usually puts on a tinfoil hat, but this wouldn't even be the wildest take. Biden hates Netanyahu visibly and he's ruining Biden's political career. If I were the president of the world's most powerful country in the world, I'd pull a few strings and whoops Netanyahu is no more (like the Boeing whistleblowers). There has got to be something deeper and sinister that makes literally both Biden and Trump act like grovelling dogs in front of Israel, despite the majority of the world saying otherwise. God knows what type of deep and horrible things are buried underneath
