I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

EDIT: Outlet has edited headline since time of posting.

Worst gender reveal party ever.

[–] [email protected] 107 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Ok, so that was horrifying that they treated it so lightly, but this headline seems slightly inaccurate.

It seems they were not blowing it up for a 'gender reveal', but instead were blowing it up otherwise and something in the building produced blue smoke, and they found the resemblence hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago

OK, that's somewhat callous, but I think almost any nation's soldiers would make that same joke.

Al Jazeera must have updated/corrected it. The title of the post was the original headline.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

That's not a good look for Al Jazeera.

Fuck Israel.

Man I must've really hit my head when I fell the other day because I thought that headline said Israeli soldiers blew up a building in Gaza as a gender reveal.

Remember to keep sending them your tax money. They're fighting terrorists. Totally...

Yo did the jews forget this same shit happened to them? Like multiple times?

Hello?

don't mix up the Israeli people and the Israeli state

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

More than half the Israeli people actively support the state. There were more protestors against the rule change that would've stopped rape as being used against prisoners than there have been against the genocide.

The Israeli people, at the very least, are Nazi civilians. I'm sure there's a few good ones in there. Hopefully they find a country to live in that doesn't require genocide to function.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

The Israeli people have either been supportive of the regime, or just too milktose to do anything about it.

We're long past benefit of the doubt.

This is a game for them isn’t it. Pushing buttons on missile systems and drone controllers to try and take down the most buildings and get the most points…

The ICC should go into Israel and try Nethanyahu.

They're creating exciting new hate crimes, in this case gendercide

Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!

I'm decently sure they don't have the self awareness to even say that. The IDF just believes they're the good guys

You would need to be entirely devoid of any semblance of humanity to even conceive of this idea, right?

How do you want to celebrate the joy of a new child? Oh, I don't know, how about we make a light of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Fucking ghouls

And people wonder why I’m such a cynical, miserable fucking Eeyore all the time. Fuck humans so fucking much. Wretched creatures we are.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

fuck humans

no, fuck colonizers

it’s a very specific group of humans who are doing this awful stuff

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

No, fuck humans. Until we as a species collectively say capitalism can’t exist anymore and reject it, then fuck humans.

At least we know it's a boy!

Yay then we can mutilate its genitalia!

The world isn't real. This is simply too ridiculous to have happened. I have been in a coma for the last six years and this is all just a weird fantasy playing out in my mind.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I had a concussion in 2008 and I’m wondering if I didn’t wake up from it and any day now I’ll wake up in spring 2008.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

shakes you vigorously

“Wake the fuck up and take us with you!”

wait, but does that mean i’m in a coma, or im a figment of your imagination and im in your coma?

but i agree, it’s too absurdly horrible to be plausible

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You're either in your coma or their coma, but either way, you're in a coma!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

it’s the only plausible explanation

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I think, therefore I am. You think, therefore you are.

You don't, and neither do I.

Hey now it's not too bad, the sea pickles get by just fine while not thinking

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

well they’re just simulations too
