    This guy runs Euro Med Monitor:

    Abdu was the assistant director and Palestine Office Manager for Council for European Palestinian Relations,[19][20] an organisation described by The Independent as “a Belgian non-profit organisation that lobbies on behalf of the Hamas-led Gaza Government.”[21] He was on the board of trustees of the International platform of NGOs working for Palestine.

    Congratulations, you’re spreading Hamas propaganda. There’s a reason this story isn’t being run anywhere credible.

      Yes. It is unimaginably cruel to run someone over with tanks or bulldozers or anything else.

      What is also insane is that you are downvoted as heavily as you are for stating something that is mere common sense.

        Zionists hate any criticism of the illegal things Israel does. Even for things that are clearly horrible and wrong.

          I don’t see downvotes, so those people are very much in the minority. In fact I basically have not seen that type of attitude on Lemmy, only people talking about it.

            do you have downvotes hidden somehow? nearly all comments critical of Israel get at least some downvotes. usuallly around five. for example: there’s not a comment here that doesn’t have at least one downvote

            The comment being discussed is currently at 27 upvotes, 6 downvotes.

            Frankly, any number of downvotes >0 counts as “heavily” for a comment as common-sense as that one. Sadistic psychopaths shouldn’t just be “in the minority;” they shouldn’t be tolerated at all.

      The one where… Tank man blocked a convoy of tanks by standing there?

      The one where he was pulled away by his friends afterwards?

      It’s sort of challenging to hide a crushed body, and yet no journalists who were there the night of or the morning after reported anything. No photographic evidence is available.

        You know they pulled those soldiers out and replaced them with soldiers from other regions who would, and did, right? Tiananmen Square is famous because of the massacre they committed after Tank Man.

      This is more of a snapshot from what the US government would have done while settling land during manifest destiny if they had tanks.

        Yeah it’s definitely more a hypothetical that can be imagined than it is a concrete reality that happened. Makes sense.

          The settler-colonial hypothetical is more comparable to this atrocity than the Tiananmen Square massacre. Did you associate this with Tiananmen Square simply because of tanks?

            Are you implying running over people with tanks is so common that we shouldn’t have associated the two?

            What a weird thing to imply.

              Between all the different conflicts since tanks were invented during WW1, it’s a more common occurrence than either of us know.
