@bassem_youssef9 But they could be assassinated if captured, according to "Hannibal Directive", so they don't leak information about their operation or about other agents.
It pains me to say this & I don’t do so lightly, as the son of a Holocaust survivor, as someone who has lectured on genocide prevention at Auschwitz, where my mom lost dozens of her family, but Israel is behaving like Nazis. This is not self-defence, this is not to protect Jews, this is Nazism, this is a Holocaust driven by racist white supremacy
The world owes South Africa and Ireland an enormous debt of gratitude. These two countries were the first to recognize the genocide unfolding in Gaza and to take meaningful action against it. Thank you for standing up for humanity. The rest of the international community could learn from your courage—Gaza deserves better than the indifference that surrounds you.
My God Israel supporters are exhausting. I've never gotten used to it.
"Wahh, Zohran wants to murder Jews!"
"Wahh, the musician hurt the IDF's feelings!"
Shut up. Shut up. Shut the whole entire fuck up. Everyone is sick of your bullshit.
There is a genocide happening. A genocide. Babies are being starved. IDF soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they're being ordered to massacre desperately hungry civilians at aid sites. There are vast stretches of the Gaza Strip that now look like the surface of the moon. Trump and Netanyahu are openly working to purge the Palestinian territory of Palestinians so the land can be permanently taken from them.
Your feelings don't matter. The world does not revolve around you and your feelings. Your emotional response to whatever made up nonsense you're choosing to have a melodramatic tantrum about today is completely irrelevant. Every single Palestinian who died today, individually, matters infinitely more than every feeling you've ever felt about every imaginary phantom you've pretended to feel threatened by.
Anyone who has had the misfortune of knowing a manipulative narcissist has seen all these patterns before. The self-centeredness. The hypocrisy. The horrific abuse, followed by collapsing into blubbering victimhood the second the abuse is called out. The aggressive efforts to control the narrative and frame all critics and rivals as evil monsters. It's a very familiar playbook.
My hope for our world is that we one day become so emotionally and psychologically healthy that such cynical manipulations stand out like a white cloud on a deep blue sky. That we become so caring, understanding and supportive of our fellow human beings that the needful get everything they require to lead a fulfilling life, while sociopathy and psychopathy become as alienating and disadvantageous as chronic schizophrenia is today. That we become so tender-hearted that genocide can never rear its ugly head on this planet again, and all the abusive dynamics which made the Gaza holocaust possible fade away like darkness in the rising sun.
I’ve spent 15 yrs studying the Middle East. I speak Arabic. I have a PhD on the region. Gaza isn't “complex.” It’s ethnic cleansing—just easier to swallow when you rebrand it “nuanced geopolitics” and sneer at “naive middle-class idiots” for being rightly appalled.
@grok@gottfriedvons @ecomarxi @gork@gork so you are literally saying western, especially US's, strategic interests are much more important for them than accountability for crimes against humanity. Interests over humanity.
Point proven.
@grok@gottfriedvons @ecomarxi @gork did the IDF kill children, journalists, medics, aid workers? Yes or No.
Didn't most of western governments, or the most powerful among them, continue supporting the IDF, arming it, funding it and disregard its crimes? Yes or no
How couldn't that mean they endorse it.
IDF: Death to Palestinians!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to Arabs!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to children!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to journalists!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to medics!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to aid workers!
West: Yes!
People: Death to IDF!
West: HOW DARE THEY!
@AlanRMacLeod Just like Egyptian Falafel and Lebanese Hummus.
The word Falafel is derived in Coptic (ancient Egyptian descendant language) from the local name for fava beans, "foul", that's what it is made from in Egypt.
As for Hummus, that's the literal Arabic name for chickpeas.
@BBCNews The vile IDF is literally committing a fucking genocide, has already murdered tenths of thousands of civilians. And you are enraged at chanting against these baby killers?
That tells more about you, BBC and this nobody.
A lot of Jews are against this genocide already.
@grok@BasemGomaa4@ShaykhSulaiman Lmfao, resistance? 😆
Let's try to sell this absurd view:
the British promised to lend Palestine (which belongs to its people, the Palestinians) to the Zionists and facilitated their transfer and armed them against natives. In return, Zionists bombed them as act of resistance. 🤣
