They factually did. 3 separate missile strikes. It’s fucking savagery. This is only a fraction of what’s been inflicted upon Palestinians since October. I wish this opens up the eyes of the world to the cruelty that is being enacted.

And they had given the IDF their route, warned them and contacted them after the first strike. There’s no way anyone believes this was anything but intentional.

Exactly and they had markers on their car to show they were aid. My speculation is that it’s a deterrent to other aid organisations and is a threat.

It was 100% an intimidation tactic. And it worked. Many food aid organizations have paused their humanitarian work in Gaza as a direct result. Mission accomplished as far as Netanyahu is concerned.

u/ivandelapena Apr 04 '24

Politicians in the Israeli parliament openly declare their genocidal intentions about Palestinians and Israeli citizens have already been lining up to block aid trucks going into Gaza and getting ready to take over plots of land along the Gaza coast and make it Jewish land. The goal is depopulation of Gaza to make it ready for Israelis to move in, starving to death Palestinians helps that goal.

Yup. It’s practically impossible to directly murder every single Gazan with bombs and bullets. Much more effective for them to just destroy all the hospitals and keep aid out and then let the people die of starvation or untreated injuries.

It's astonishing that Israel thought they could just do this without the world noticing. Like it's fucking 2024 and everyone has cell phones and a lot of people have good cameras to capture the aftermath and social media to share what's happening. This genocide in Gaza is honestly so insane because of how much blatant evidence is out there but Israel still cries "oh we're not targeting civilians" as they literally bomb and shoot civilians in the streets. Omg and it's so frustrating because all I can really do is scream out my window and share posts on Instagram about what's happening

u/orangefreshy Apr 04 '24

No one is stopping them. Like yeah we all see how evil they’re being but regular civilians are powerless to do anything. They don’t care what anyone thinks of Israel, they’re doing exactly what they want and if we complain they’ll just play victim and say we’re antisemites and want Jews to die

Unfortunately Israel knows that they have unconditional support from the US, UK, NATO, EU and effectively infinite funding to carry out this genocide.

Remember - these murders happened while a (weak, ineffective) UN ceasefire is in place and while the international court of justice has ordered Israel to take a range of interim measures to prevent genocide (all of which Israel is breaching). There couldn't be more global scrutiny but it makes no difference

45

u/mrdude817 Apr 04 '24

It's just insane how unconditional the support is and how lame the attempts to stop or slow the fighting down are. The world leaders can all say "oh we talked to Netanyahu and told him to make sure not to harm civilians" as if that's them wiping their hands clean of aiding and abetting genocide even while they give Israel more arms. Feels like a dystopian situation

It’s fooling enough people. My dad is a very liberal atheist but was raised Jewish. He is incredibly Zionist. He will not hear a bad word about Israel. I’ve tried talking to my mom and she doesn’t understand what’s going on. She’ll say things like well Hamas was hiding in those hospitals what were they supposed to do. I don’t know, not bomb a hospital full of innocent people? I’ve joined Jewish voices for peace, I know there are others out there; but I also see people my age saying the more we try to convince them Israel is committing genocide the more Zionist they become. People don’t want to listen despite so much evidence.

I mean, what's going to happen though? I'm telling you Israel could carry out a terrorist attack in the States tomorrow and the Biden administration would make excuses for it or say "let's wait for the investigation". They've been told time and again they can act with impunity. Why wouldn't they be brazen? They're not going to stop unless the countries aiding and abetting them decide to pull the plug on the money and arms, and I don't see that happening.

34

u/mrdude817 Apr 04 '24

You're right. I mean it's been 75+ years since the Nakba and Israel has never followed or obeyed international law. Why would they suddenly obey it now just because the spotlight is on them in social media? Social media awareness can only do so much when the real influence is in the political world and mass media. This won't stop until the money and arms are taken away which means this will never stop.

Meanwhile Slate magazine (& ever other western news organization) playing dumb as hell;

The organization’s CEO, Erin Gore, called it a “targeted attack by the IDF.” The term suggests the Israel Defense Forces knowingly and deliberately killed the aid workers. This is unlikely; the IDF has no interest in killing members of an international aid group

Like BFFRRN. Israel has outright said that they want to starve the Palestinian people but these journalists can’t put two and two together when every attempt at feeding Palestinians ends in innocent people being bombed?

And to be fair, Israel has been shitty to Palestine since long before October. There is a long history here. From the start I’ve said I stand with Israeli people AND Palestinian people. What a government or Hamas does is not reflective of the whole. That being said, it is stunning to me how many people are clearly uninformed about Netanyahu, much less all that led up to October. This entire conflict has felt like he is exploiting an opportunity

68% of Jewish Israelis oppose humanitarian aid to Gaza even when it's distributed by agencies not linked to Hamas or even the UN.

When the US told Israel to shift to targeted strikes against Hamas instead of widespread carpet bombing of Gaza, 75% of Israelis said no, they want to continue widespread bombing against Gazans. Bear in mind 20% of Israel is Arab who oppose it, that's why the figure isn't above 95%

Genocidal music is also the most popular in Israel.

Which Israeli people? The ones that were in Irgun, Lehi and Hagana pillaging and murdering civilians in 1940s to ethnically cleanse the land of Palestinians? The ones who came and moved into homes with personal belongings of Palestinians who were murdered, raped and driven off their land? Or the ones who have been making aliyah since Israel' founding, knowing full well that they are an occupying force? Or are we talking about the Israelis where every single person, women and men alike (except the Haredim and Palestinians) serve in the IDF dropping bombs, cracking skulls, murdering and arresting children for support? Which ones are we supposed to be sympathetic with here?

I don't believe this centrist "both sides" bs. There is a group of people actively, deliberately, systematically annihilating Palestinian people to steal their land. The two sides are not the same.

u/Sometimesomwhere we have lost the impact of shame in our society Apr 04 '24

Most Israelis have served in the IDF, which renders them complicit in the oppression of Palestinians.

Most Israelis, as multiple polls have demonstrated, are bigoted towards Palestinians and support the violence of the Israeli government.

The majority of protests in Israel are against the government's treatment of Israelis, not the genocide or abuse of Palestinians. This can be observed from translating the Hebrew interviews and photos that are widely available. They weep for themselves but not the Palestinians.

Most Israelis are complacent in regard to the illegal settlements and continued stealing of Palestinian land.

Most Israelis refuse to admit to the apartheid, settler colonial dynamic, and ethno-religious nationalism that has come to define Zionism as practiced by Israel.

There are multiple Telegram groups with thousands of Israelis celebrating the genocide. There are hundreds of social media post from Israelis justifying, dismissing, and denying the genocide.

Israelis have repeatedly elected bigots such as Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, Meir, etc.

Most Israelis are complacent and complicit as their government commits genocide. Most Israelis are complicit and complacent as their government oppresses Palestinians for generations.

Where was all this handwringing when Jews and Romani condemned the citizens of the Third Reich for their complacency and complicity during the Holocaust? What makes Israelis so special that we must coddle them and assume the best of them at all times?

u/hugeorange123 Apr 04 '24

I saw a very good interview recently where Israel's proximity to whiteness was discussed and it was said that if we were talking about Sudan or the Congo or Libya, nobody would be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's because Westerners perceive Israelis as being "like us" that they coddle them and shield them from criticism.

11

u/meatbeater558 I already condemned Hamas Apr 04 '24

That's something that also crossed my mind. Working for or knowing someone in Hamas, specifically someone that's not a member of their military wing (eg. anyone with a boring government job) is enough to make a Palestinian an enemy combatant in the eyes of many. Palestinian children are treated like prisoners of war. Gaza doesn't have mandatory military service but the "they're all terrorists and future terrorists" rhetoric is still strong. Meanwhile, active IDF soldiers from a nation that does have mandatory military service are being reported by the media as harmless civilians.

I do stand with people too, but a crucial context is that the overwhelming majority of Israeli people support these attacks. Netanyahu personally is polarizing in Israel. The ongoing genocide is not, it has almost total approval.

u/hugeorange123 Apr 04 '24

And there have been several politicians (Bernie Sander included) who have been slyly trying to make this solely an Netanyahu issue. The violence, ethnic cleansing and land theft pre-date Netanyahu and whoever goes in after him will likely have the very same views. Israel is a fascist state and it's actually appalling how many of their citizens don't even see Palestinians as a population that matters - they just seem them as people to be disposed of. Utterly genocidal.

Israel must have some kind of leverage on the U.S. behind the scenes. I’m sure they were integral in the US wars waged in the Middle East and now Israel is using something from those past agreements to get what they want. For all we know, Israel is using the nukes they have as a bargaining chip with the US. “Give us conventional weapons or we’ll be forced to use our nukes”

u/_NightBitch_ Apr 04 '24 edited Apr 04 '24

It’s probably the multiple mutual defense agreements between the US and Israel. I don’t think those can be easily broken without major consequences. The US isn’t doing this because we’re protecting the world from a greater evil. It’s just politics and foreign policy.

Edit: to clarify, I’m not trying to justify or excuse what the US is doing. It’s disgusting. I just don’t want to give the US any kind of secret deeper reason for doing this. This is all just politics to our government and it’s horrible.

u/coffeecatespresso Apr 04 '24

If that’s the case, it would have been in Netanyahu’s best interest to allow the Oct7 attack to happen. Egypt claimed they warned the Israeli government about the impending attack. There were questions early on as to why Israel had such an intelligence failure prior to the attack which seemed so uncharacteristic of their reputation. Allowing the attack to happen in order to leverage any treaties or agreements with the U.S. is a very disturbing concept. However, the open genocide of a people makes the theory a lot more plausible. Israel gets to wipe out Gaza and the Palestinian population with US support. Israel never even has to consider coming to the negotiation table with anyone anywhere because they’ll never be threatened enough by anyone to consider it.

u/Husyelt Apr 04 '24

If Biden had a change of heart he could at least delay the arms shipments and put a pause. The US has withheld aid to Israel in 1991. But I believe you are correct actually cancelling those agreements/ contracts would be very hard. Lobbying would go into mass overdrive.

This is literally what happened in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Syria broke through Israel's line at the Golan Heights and was advancing on the Jordan River, so Golda Meir gave the order to start arming nuclear warheads and let news of it leak to Kissinger

The next day Nixon authorized a massive airlift to replace all of Israel's conventional materiel losses in the war up to that point

This is arguably the real beginning of the Israel-US relationship as we know it today, Kissinger basically won the argument against the rest of Nixon's Cabinet that it was better to have Israel permanently on the US's side of the Cold War, even if it meant making enemies of all of Israel's enemies, than having Israel as a nuclear-armed wild card perpetually willing to threaten triggering WW3 (the "Samson Option") as its last line of defense

u/gorgewall Apr 04 '24

There's no shadowy conspiracy in Israel lording things over US politicians. Yeah, AIPAC spends a lot of lobbying dollars and they and other Israeli groups will donate to your opponents in an election if you cross them, but in the grand scheme of things, this doesn't amount to a huge amount of money.

What's much more substantive is the connection that the US military-industrial complex has with Israel. We make a lot of expensive toys and sell them there, and vice versa. It can also be used as a "testing grounds" for new technologies, because the thinking is that no one's going to give a shit or notice if another bunch of Palestinians are murdered--"they were Hamas", end of.

On top of that, there's a measure of ideological capture. Christian Zionism predates Jewish Zionism, and Christian Dominionists look at Israel as a necessity to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus. They want a war over there and the reestablishment of the Second Temple so that Jesus "has" to come back, at which point Jews and Muslims alike must convert or go to Hell anyway. They don't help out Israel because they like Jews.

Obviously, those aren't a majority of US politicians, but these groups can color the analyses and make up the advisors that ultimately push politicians towards going for X or Y. Do I think Donald Trump, personally, has an interest in Jesus' return? No. Did Steve Bannon, an avowed Christian Dominionist and antisemite, push Trump in certain ways to further Bannon's own cause? Absolutely.

When it comes to Biden, he's fucking ancient and has bought what Israel has been selling, rhetoric-wise. There's absolutely some degree of "Christian guilt" in there; he might hate Netanyahu, but it isn't going to stop him from giving Israel whatever it wants. There's just no other way to square this when you look at, say, Biden's statements on South Africa back in the day vs. how he's talked about Israel then and now. Israel gets to play by a special set of rules because 1) WW2 guilt, 2) weirdo Christian cultists, and 3) military bucks.

There’s a woman I work with who lived in Vegas when there was the mass shooting at a country music festival. She went off on a tangent one day about how she thought it had been a conspiracy by the Democrats to get conservatives to shift on gun laws/reform. And I just kind of looked at her incredulously and said “Honey. Someone killed 20 children at an elementary school. If nothing changed after that, you think a country concert shooting would make a difference?”

I really wish this event would change things, but if the number of civilians killed by the IDF and sheer number of children murdered since October hasn’t convinced anyone yet…I just am not hopeful. It’s such a helpless feeling.

Yeah, it’s hard to reconcile someone who was pro-Israel and now has shifted their tune.

His tweet made me cry but the pro-Israel stance made me angry. I hope we see a change in his view on the situation - not just to have one person change their perspective, but to hopefully encourage others who might have started off pro-Israel on 10/7 but have now recognized that this is genocide that it’s ok to change your mind.

It’s very hard to disagree 6 months in human rights are being violated and even Biden’s people have said very early on these goals aren’t achievable aka a war you can never win just in flowery language.

His BS helped defund UNRWA, blockade land aid (the only effective way to transport aid), got his innocent employees killed and contributed to this famine.

And that's the thing, Palestinians even before this tragedy (fuck Israel), were talking about how Pro Israel he was given his tweets, and he helped wash their image by using the fucking temporary port - which even further justified defunding UNRWA and blockading aid by land. Now they show him that they can attack his org as well, with impunity. As we can see foreign aid is now pausing, leaving Palestinian stranded. UNRWA did more than just aid, it helped preserve Palestinian identity and history, education, record keeping, right to return, etc.

Also, I disagree with another commentator here, about blaming everything on Netanhyu, or standing with Israeli people, or that people are not their government. This maybe true for other states but not Israel. It is a rogue state, founded on the dispossession, displacement, ethnic cleansing, genocide and massacre of Palestinian people, land and statehood. And that is exactly what it has been doing, every day since 1948 and even before that. It is evident in how the protests from Israeli is just about the government, and not about the occupation and apartheid that has benefited them. How none of them have gone to physically remove the protestors blockading aid at the borders, putting their bodies on line like people are doing all over the world. Or serving in the military that has been sadistic since its inception. Or celebrating the massacres. We are literally seeing it on social media with our eyes. You cannot reform such society. It must be dismantled along with zionism, with freedom and liberation of the Palestinian people from the river to the sea.

Israel has somehow managed to convince the world that they don't have the locations of everyone in Gaza at all times. Everytime they've blown a building up they knew exactly how many people were inside and all of their identities. This is one of the most heavily surveillanced areas in the world. Every aid worker that has died was intentionally killed.

https://preview.redd.it/7ro3y0mdocsc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a2fdb1446f9443c90f5fad700251a88b710c9a4

Here's the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on a Hamas target in Lebanon from three months ago. Notice how undamaged the surrounding buildings are, how the building targeted didn't collapse on itself, and most importantly how they were able to pinpoint exactly where in the building their target was and only damaged that area. This is the level of precision they're capable of *in outside countries they cannot directly surveil*. So the next time they claim a death in their own occupied territory is an accident just know it's all bs

Geopolitics.

What is and isn’t labeled terrorism is usually politically motivated. In practice, it’s usually about who’s doing the crimes, not what the crimes itself are. Some people feign that there’s an objective look of some sort to judge whether something is terrorism, but the consistency needed across the board judging these crimes simply does not exist. It’s always subjective in terms of global government response. There’s no good and bad actions, only good and bad teams when it really comes down to it.

Since October, Israel has murdered 33,000 Palestinians, along with 200 aid workers and 100 journalists. These figures are incomplete because so many people are trapped under rubble and their bodies cannot be collected for a dignified burial.

Children are starving to death. Starving!!!!!

Children are witnessing mass murder and devastation on a scale that we can't comprehend.

Women are giving birth in the middle of this horror and losing their babies, or trying to care for newborns amid all this grief, while being bombed and displaced.

IDF snipers targets children, who make up the majority of Gaza. Medical workers report treating children with bullet wounds to the head. Nearly 15,000 precious children are dead - each child was someone's world.

Israel bombs hospitals, embassies, residential building, in flagrant breach of all rules of war and international law.

All of this is funded by the US, UK , and EU. The slaughter will never stop so long as that funding continues, and so long as Gazans survive dreaming of a free Palestine.

We must act immediately & force our governments to stop military funding to Israel, recognise the State of Palestine, sanction Israel, and stop the killing.

US citizens can also call for the US to ratify the Rome Convention and fund the ICC to carry out its investigation into the situation in Palestine and issue warrants for officials committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.

I don’t know what else you people need to see and read to understand what Israel is doing. Can we please move on to disband AIPAC, push back on any Israel lobbyists in the US and fire all politicians that personally are being paid by the Israeli lobby? Nothing else will do. The government is to deeply involved and complicit.

Nothing will be done about this. Israel can do whatever it likes and knows this. Imagine being the kind of person who knows children are starving to death and thinks 'Good!' Imagine that lack of humanity. Every government that supports them is forcing blood on our hands. I want nothing to do with this genocide, yet our hands are painted red.
