I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE 🥹🥹🥹

Why don't they target the heads of state and leave normal people alone? Joe Sixpack's family is only going to be enraged by his death.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

As far as I know, a large majority of Israelis support the whole liebensraum thing, and fucking up Iran (whose government are also a bunch of murderous shitbags, btw). We don't really know how many "Joe six-pack" iranians support this confrontation. Often, even people who are against a government will support warring against a perceived enemy, which is why so many leaders, when in trouble at home, start wars. See Putin, Bush, Netanyahu, maybe Trump next, and a looong list.

Joe shouldn't of built a military installation in a residential area.

The problem is that israel uses its citizens as human shields.

Hate to say it but, good. Isreal is finally getting a tadte of their own medicine. bullies getting bombed, sounds like a punk song

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The balls to brains ration must be close to infinite on the person who filmed this.

What do you even do in a situation like this? You can't get to shelter in any reasonable amount of time and whether you're in the unit or on the balcony you're dead if your building is struck.

Did the video speed up in the end or was the missile?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Something typical of videos recorded in slow motion on iOS: the first and last few seconds record regular speed. Maybe that’s what you’re seeing.

It’s really annoying when you try to record something in slow-mo capture and forget to let it record a little longer.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

This isn’t coming out of slow motion. iOS slows down audio too and none of the audio here is ramped.

Comment sections have been absolutely fucked since this started. I've seen some reports that these are hitting military targets but apparently I should be cheering about rockets landing a few dozen meters from this apartment?

I remember a video of an Israeli rocket hitting just outside a shop window in Yemen/Iran at a similar distance and people were balking that it could be hitting anything of strategic importance. Suddenly pictures of collapsed apartments and hospitals are fine because it's the guys you don't like?

Apparently it's a bad take for me to think civilians shouldn't be bombed regardless of how much Zionist brainwashing they have. People talking about "they deserve it" and pointing to Isreal opinion polls showing 60% support X awful thing. Last time I checked, a rocket doesn't take a survey before it explodes. So 4/10 people in that explosion deserve to die by association?

You all make me sick, down vote away.

Welcome to war, where human rights are optional and at the discretion of a select few. People will cheer for death like it's a gladitorial arena, while others act to mitigate as much suffering as possible. Still others will turn away in disgust and become recluse. No answer is correct; at least until the victor writes the history.

My only (personal) recouse is to focus on my impact at a community level, and hope that I get enough power, money, or influence to eventually do more.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Are you new to Lemmy? Didn't you know murdering innocents is okay as long as it's 'the bad guys'?

The amount of people here who salivate at the chance of inflicting violence at people they don't like is insane.

But it's okay because they're 'the good guys'.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Israel used that apartment building to hide an F-35 which they used to bomb an Iranian hospital. There is undeniable evidence.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Where is that evidence? I'm not denying it, I'm asking for it and nobody provides it.

Edit: from what I can tell that F35 rumor started in 2024 as a meme mocking Israel's claims of apartments hiding Hezbollah weapons. Why would you stack up $100m planes in a place extremely hard to scramble them and perform maintenance?

Holy shit i laughed my ass off. Where is this from? Who made this

Iran hasn't hit a single hospital and the settlers have bunkers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Bunkers they refuse to let non Israelis use. I just watched a video of some Israelis roaches screaming slurs at Asians as they receded into their bunker. Refusing to share.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By all means, I'll take evidence that they've been hitting military targets. My issue is with people cheering videos like this lacking any of that evidence at all.

And no, having a bunker doesn't make a civilian population fair game. It's the same thing as crowding people into internment camps while you level their neighborhood.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

No, it's not the same

Those ballistic missiles really haul ass

I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk, I think we should have sympathy for people being kill because of war at all times.

I don't know who lived in the place that was bombed there, but unless I have reason to believe that that person is somehow responsible for the genocide, why would I hate them?

Israel is obviously filled with genocidal people, and those who support genocide are not going to get my sympathy, but there are those who are actively fighting it even. So I do feel sympathy for innocent people dying because of genocidal governments and their need to bomb every living thing around them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

wasn't it about 82% of Israelis that supported the forced expulsion of Palestinians? I'm all for having sympathy for the innocent, just doesn't seem like there are that many innocents there.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

18% of israel is still 1.8 million people, that is a lot of people.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

It's like feeling bad when Berlin was bombed.

Like yeah there are of course some innocents there, but the majority are involved in either the war machine or the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Why would you have sympathy for Israel attacking without provocation a state that turned out to be stronger than they thought?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

It’s wild hearing Americans who went on a 20 year genocidal way because they were attacked at home, cheering on others being attacked at home. Your government fucked by country and people, do I get to blow up your family and be cheered?

Edit: never has my indigenous, brown ass received so many DMs with hate, bigotry, and rants about genocide and colonialism from white kids than this year. Without a hint of irony, American hypocrites are trying to lead a movement against war, genocide, racism and colonialism. While you profit from and continue your own atrocities Americans need to get in the back of the line, they are toxic to the movement

If you side with the usa empire, you're my enemy

Calling your opponents burgerlanders won't change that

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I didn't go on shit and I don't support US imperialist actions.

  1. We were attacked at home because of previous imperialist actions, and we would have continued said imperialism whether attacked or not, that was a convenient excuse.

  2. I would understand people cheering and I would direct my anger to the people who caused the retaliation to happen, my own government.

why are you defending America destroying your country and Israel doing the same/trying to do the same to other countries though? This make no sense.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree with all of it i just think you Americans need to get out of the way and stop trying to lead the charge, because you guys are toxic and taint the movement with your hypocrisy and extremist attitudes.

You al benefit from your country’s imperialism but you all dodge responsibility and say it wasnt you

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

I'm willing to be one counterexample in the sea. I am absolutely benefiting from both past American imperialism and the current sales of arms that keeps allowing more atrocities. I used to feel guilt about it, but that didn't solve anything; neither did staying silent. If all the other loud, noisy, opinionated people in my country can't keep their mouths shut, I view it as a minor responsibility to at least make them use critical thinking (if possible). I'm saving your comment to show people irl. Hope you stay safe.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, both the United States and Israel were attacked because of Israel.

Israel deserves the blame because Israel is the problem.

If they don't like it, they can always leave. That would make the world a better place.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

The US also deserves blame, given the degree they support Israel

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Americans are blood thirsty war hawks. You guys LOVE the idea of bombing someone you don’t like. Even the American left is like this now. So long as it’s not your country being bombed and getting their just desserts for al their genocide, you love war. But anyone attacks you guys for your centuries of atrocities and suddenly it’s WAR WAR WAR

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

You seem to not be aware that Israel is another settler-colonial project, based on indigenous eviction and genocide, just like the US, Canada, Australia, etc.

I suggest watching these two vids :
