Hoping all my coworkers that tried to justify a genocide watch this.

While still telling themselves that the “videos are fake”, and “they have been at war for decades. They just are” 🤷🏾‍♀️

Eww

I follow a German (Stephanie Glinksi) journalist who is covering this from the occupied West bank and the sheer amount of terror and humiliation Palestinians have to go through on a daily basis is unspeakable. I try to follow journalists on their social media platforms. You get a far better grasp of reality than most media outlets

footage from the West Bank makes me see red. How are the IOF not the terrorists??

On what platform do you follow her? I would like to check out

[merel_93]

i made the mistake of looking at a couple of subreddits (particularly quaker and pacifist subreddits) and honestly...i have so much contempt for people.

[deerlike]

jfc, even on Quaker/pacifist suns they're being horrible about Palestinians?

[beaucadeau]

i wouldn't say that, it's mostly conflict over how our (the Quaker) peace testimony should manifest right now and what type of action is the most productive. my meeting for worship is all in alignment, but reading some of the quakers online...it's disappointing

[deerlike]

Ah, I understand better now.

I'm going to watch this as soon as I can before they decide to take the episode down.

[trekkiepetrelli]

it's not a war when, if one side stops bombing there is peace, and if one side stops fighting they will be obliterated.

that's when a war is not a war, but a genocide.

[benihime99]

I think that's specifically why they decided on the title "Isreal-Hamas" war vs "Isreal-Palestine conflict"

[iznanassi]

Which is interesting given the majority of zionists and general islamophobes have gone full mask off and are now saying that everything and everywhere is Hamas anyways so they have the right to commit the warcrimes they have. So they're not even saying the quiet part out loud, theyre just being loud and people straight up agree.

“if one side stops fighting they will be obliterated.”

What do you mean by fighting?
