so:
1- german girl is alive
2- the IDF was using the people at the rave as human shields
3-no evidence of mass rape
4- IDF denies headless babies, actual headless babies are found from the ruins of palestinian houses
I am not an expert on a lot of things, but I will say this, since I actually *am* very experienced in this arena:
Viewing videos/images of extremely graphic violence in large quantities can have a profoundly negative longterm impact on your wellbeing if unchecked.
Somehow, in about a week, we’ve managed to go from ‘joining the Waffen-SS to resist invasion is perfectly reasonable’ to ‘any violent form of resistance is automatically invalid’
why do an American basketball league and an American basketball players’ association and several American basketball teams feel the need to release statements condemning these events when they’re comfortable sticking to basketball during any other international brutalities
Chomsky has been arguing for decades that nothing endangers Israel’s security more than its policy of occupation, and those who call themselves “supporters of Israel” are in fact putting the whole population at risk by preferring expansion to peace.
"You can support palestinian liberation without supporting hamas" okay WHO. WHO is this idealized perfect liberation force you support in Palestinian society that isn't hamas
Let me be crystal clear- as a jewish grandchild of holocaust survivors I am always on the side of the people imprisoned in Ghettos and not on the incredibly armed and modern army who serves as their jailers. You're not going to be able to bully me into another opinion.
also worth noting that palestinian civilians killed directly by the IDF are just the tip of the iceberg. for example UNICEF found that water contamination has been the leading cause of child mortality in gaza ever since the blockade started. “slow-motion genocide” isnt hyperbole
Some perspective—since September 2000:
Palestinians killed by Israeli forces: 10,500
Israeli civilians killed by Palestinians: 881
That's a 12/1 ratio.

Associating Palestinian liberation with Hamas isn’t just counterproductive, it’s the *exact* narrative the Israeli far-right has been pushing for decades
Geralt of Rivia is a really rare character type where he’s simultaneously fully 3 dimensional and believable as a person and also a 1:1 xerox of a 14 year olds Dungeons and Dragons “Awesome Fantasy Badass” OC
America has several dozen Gazas. What’s a reservation? What’s a barrio? What’s the hood? Cops rolling around murdering at will and if you act up enough they’ll have soldiers come. Extreme poverty, like Pine Ridge is third world level, Lakota people living without electricity.
