I’m sure Bibi’s best buddy Donald Trump will be the first to show up in tacticals and do all the FREEDOMING on the front lines. 🙄
There must be a massive oil/gas field under Gaza or something for them to do this.
Downvote all you want. You have tea and crumpets with the guy who falls all over Kim Jong Un, and go and name districts after him, then absolutely fffk you and horse you rode in on.
war is between two regular armies. pounding the shit out of gaza after cutting supplies and water can hardly be called war
It’s clearly propaganda for internal consumption, because there’s no way in hell that anyone who isn’t spouting hate and foam 24-7 is going to buy the parallelism. They want to fill Zionist radicals with fervor so that they help force dissidents to shut up about the fact that they’re committing genocide.
a 2nd nakba, then
It’s not a war, it’s a massacre…
Genocide is the correct term. Massacre is correct, but not precise enough.
I still cant believe the western goverments are sitting idely by while this slaughter happens.
They are not sitting idly, they are supporting it.
they’re making a lot of money - or will, soon enough
The sad truth is all their media has become pro Israeli. They never even see or hear about the Palestinians plight. They just keep replaying the same crap from Oct 7.
In the UK we’re seeing a lot about the Palestinian plight on the BBC. We also see news about concern for the hostages but don’t see much about the Oct 7 attack itself anymore.
The plight of civilians only entered the media sphere after weeks of false news about the october 7th attack that was used as justification for the UK’s complicity in the massacres that followed. It’s the media trying to save face as the public learn the truth from other means.
I don’t recall seeing any false news on the BBC. They tend to be very good at verifying what they are told and generally say that there were reports of things happening if they haven’t verified it.
Either way, we are only three weeks from the Oct 7 attack and the BBC has definitely been showing the plight of civilians for a significant proportion of that time so it certainly wasn’t “weeks of false news”.
This is no war, it is genocide when you shoot civilians.
Better than Ukraine history tho. Lot of cool videos
Shooting them is bad press. Bringing down whole buildings with aerial bombardment is much more palatable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Gaza was plunged into darkness, isolation and violence on Saturday night, its communications with the outside world almost entirely cut, as Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced his country was entering “the second stage” of what was likely to be a long and difficult war against Hamas.
(tldr: 6 sentences skipped)
As 2.3 million Palestinians in the blockaded coastal strip braced themselves for a second night of sharply escalating Israeli military operations, Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, said that the campaign against the Islamist militant group Hamas would continue until a new order was given.
(tldr: 7 sentences skipped)
With links to mobile networks, the internet and electricity inside Gaza almost entirely severed, emergency services, including paramedic teams, were operating almost blind as they struggled to respond to scores of deaths and injuries from the airstrikes.
(tldr: 4 sentences skipped)
Israel launched its assault on Gaza after hundreds of fighters from Hamas crossed the Israeli border in vehicles, by air and sea on 7 October, indiscriminately killing civilians in the streets, their homes and at an outdoor rave.
(tldr: 6 sentences skipped)
It said: “During a night of intense bombardment and ground incursions in Gaza, with reports of hostilities still continuing, health workers, patients and civilians have been subject to a total communication and electrical blackout.
(tldr: 2 sentences skipped)
“Hospitals across Gaza are already operating at maximum capacity due to the injuries sustained in weeks of unrelenting bombardment, and are unable to absorb a dramatic rise in the number of patients, while sheltering thousands of civilians.

This is the first time that I’ve realized in real time that a “war” is actually genocide
The only thing Isreal is accomplishing is guaranteeing there will be another generation of radicalization.
The asymmetry of this “war” is clear, even in a nation that gives Israel full support by the government and media.
If Cuba started firing missiles at the US the whole place would be ash in hours, I don’t understand what people expect Israel to do when literally every other country on the planet would defend themselves.
Your analogy doesn’t fit and ignores the particularities of the Palestine/Israel situation.
The part where significant trade is blocked, the land dispute part, the viewed as hostile nation part, the part about attempting regime change, and the part about trying to prevent refugees from coming in all seem pretty similar. The only thing missing is an actual war…
I disagree. The US would have had to successfully invade Cuba (with the benediction of the international powers), displace its population to a couple of corners of Cuba while replacing them with Americans, and then continuously oppressing them. Oh and occasionally taking more bits of Cuban land for Americans.
And that’s not even including the religious powderkeg the region represents for not one, not two but three major religions. It would take some extra mental gymnastics to claim the ownership of Cuba to “the chosen people” in the Old Testament.
I don’t think you understand the concept of an analogy.
most other countries dont keep an open air prison of millions of people on their doorstep and take potshots at journalists and children on the regular.
America blockaded Cuba without them killing any American civilians, yes Israel is in a fairly unique position but you’re kidding yourself if you think any other nation would react differently.
