"Then he was shot at with pepper spray, tear gas, stun grenades and bullets shot at his feet [and then] in the air, and he runs away scared, and the IDF [Israeli army] were shooting at the crowd.

"They're shooting into this crowd and Palestinians - civilians, human beings - are dropping to the ground, getting shot. And Amir was one of them."

You're a f*&^ed up human being who utterly lacks perspective if you take sides in this blood bath.

I think the pro-Israeli side is currently winning the monster competition as they justify slowly murdering children by starvation.

I mean, look at the image here

Look at the right side of the picture where the image of that poor boy's brother is blurry. Does his brother look emaciated to you?

"Jaime Kirzner-Roberts
@jaimekr

@nytimes
admits the emaciated boy they splashed on their front page as proof' of famine in Gaza was actually suffering from a serious medical condition " which is why his family all look healthy.

Exploiting a child's illness to push a political narrative is reprehensible."

The existence of the famine and genocide is not propaganda.

Denying that is happening is morally equivalent to denying the holocaust. Even those -------- who deny the holocaust can rely on the fact that it happened decades ago. There is zero justification for denying the reality of what is happening in Gaza, today.

I don't do yes or no questions. Is his malnourishment due to a lack of caloric intake or his pre-existing medical condition, or both?

In the pictures I've seen, the rest of his family certainly appears to be well nourished. So, why is he the only one in his family who is severely malnourished?

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) " Fighting "human animals." Making Gaza a "slaughterhouse." "Erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth."

Such inflammatory rhetoric is a key component of South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide at the U.N. world court, a charge that Israel denies. South Africa says the language -- in comments by Israeli leaders, soldiers and entertainers about Palestinians in Gaza since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack sparked war -- is proof of Israel's intent to commit genocide.

It's hilarious how quickly the pro-Hamasers willingly but into terrorists propaganda. As Bellringer said, the other kid in the photo is well-fed. Most of the propaganda photos show a kid, with no parents in the picture. You know why? Because the parents aren't starving.

These kids have other illnesses. Mostly genetic. You know why? Because Palestinians have one of the highest rates of cousin-marriage in the world, with all the genetic joys that come along with that for their offspring. But it's the Jews fault that Palestinians have family trees that don't have branches.

OK, then did you view that photo with the slightest bit of objectivity or skepticism, considering all that it showed and did not show? Or did you buy into it wholesale and just go with whatever line the rag parroted? Like the NYT when it published a photo of an allegedly starving Palestinian kid, but didn't ask why no one else in the family looked like they had missed a meal? But I'm the "dunbf^*%."

Willful ignorance targeted at the Jews. In defense of the Palestinians, who still support terrorist atrocities against Israeli civilians to this day. Which is why the Jews need Israel, because they will otherwise be wiped from the face of the Earth while people stand by and claim they are not pro-Hamas and that both sides are the same.

So, you consider this a eugenics program, but not using starvation.

111 people were killed by IDF in the last 24 hours. 91 were getting food. 800 people were injured.

Your racism aside, if you can't bear to know the facts of this genocide, watch any video interviews and see the record of devastation I suppose it's easier to blame "pro-Hamasers", right?

Hamas has more Credibility than the Likud.

Is more consistent and coherent than the lying and stealing Terrorist Government of Israel.

Israel is a land of Violent Loons.

Giving them Arms is Stupid.

Give Hamas Arms and they could push the Israelis out of Gaza. Even with no Air Cover.

Israel is not the Jaugernaut their propaganda portrays.

Two years of total war and they still can't defeat starving poorly armed militias with no Air Support and no State behind them.

So they Murder Childeren to Feel Tough.

That's not tough. It's Foolish and will destroy Israel over time.

Sinwar knew the Enemy.

He knew their Extreme and Enthusiastic Bloodlust would be unleashed and this would Repulse the World Community.

Israel may not survive their own Repulsive and Evil Actions.

Zionism is colonialism.
All colonialism is rooted in eugenics.

Racial conceptions of Jewish identity in Zionism
In the late 19th century, amid attempts to apply science to notions of race, some of the founders of Zionism (such as Max Nordau) sought to reformulate conceptions of Jewishness in terms of racial identity and the "race science" of the time. They believed that this concept would allow them to build a new framework for collective Jewish identity,[1] and thought that biology might provide "proof" for the "ethnonational myth of common descent" from the biblical land of Israel.[2][3] Countering antisemitic claims that Jews were both aliens and a racially inferior people who needed to be segregated or expelled, these Zionists drew on and appropriated elements from various race theories,[4][5][a] to argue that only a Jewish national home could enable the physical regeneration of the Jewish people and a renaissance of pride in their ancient cultural traditions

"President Trump said on Thursday that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza will end if Hamas releases the hostages and surrenders.

Why it matters: The comment from the president marks a change in tone from others he made in recent days that put the onus on Israel to improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

What he is saying: "The fastest way to end the Humanitarian Crises in Gaza is for Hamas to SURRENDER AND RELEASE THE HOSTAGES!!!," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

State of play: Trump's post was published as his envoy Steve Witkoff met with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

Surely you meant that's what Hamas' Oligarch Leaders in Qatar that are still left want.

The Palestinian people not so much.

Of course, Settlers would have loose their gub'mint income bulldozing Palestinian homes, and sometimes murdering the neighbors, but all Peace comes at a cost, I s'pose.

I am having a discussion. That people who justify/deflect/excuse the suffering and death of children are bottom feeding s*&^bags. I feel like I've been quite clear on that fact.

Sure, I like unicorns and fairy dust too.

Unfortunately, in the real world civilians suffer in the wars their leaders start, particularly when they support those leaders and don't want the war to end and their leaders rely on civilians as shields and as a direct military strategy.

Then someone should tell the Palestinians they don't want it.

OK, does it matter that apparently the participants don't want to end it? At least not enough to lay down their arms?

I've seen fights before where some little dumbass started a stupid fight because he was egged on into it, maybe even thought he had to prove himself or something... and at some point the bystanders pulled the bigger guy offa him.
There's no good guys in the leadership of either side, but the People of each side are getting screwed badly.

Which we here should take as an example of what happens in far rwing nationalist authoritarian led governments.

And is happening here now, too.

You are correct sir!

For the fifth time since October 7, we asked respondents from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip what they thought of Hamas' decision to launch the October 7 attack, whether it was correct or incorrect: 50%, compared to 54% seven months ago, in September 2024, and 71% 14 months ago, in March 2024, said it was the right decision. The decrease in this percentage came from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where it stands today at 59% in the West Bank, a decrease of 5 percentage points, and 38% in the Gaza Strip, compared to 39% seven months ago.

At this rate, we might have peace in six or seven years.

Sometimes a group of people decide to do horrible things and celebrate in the streets when it happens:

Palestinians In Gaza And The West Bank Celebrate On October 7, Hand Out Sweets, Fire Guns In The Air, Following Hamas's Invasion And Massacre Of Israeli Civilians
www.memri.org

And then horrible things befall those people as the wrath of Allah pays them a visit in the form of a smitten Gaza.

The Palestinians want all the fun stuff that goes will attacking Jews, like rape and murder. But they don't want any of the negatives. And I'm the reprehensible POS, not the terrorist supporters who hide behind the children.

Here, watch these Palestinian children eat dirt:

You'll probably swallow that hammy acting hook, line, and sinker as well. Because it tells you the story you want to hear.

Hamas isn't committing genocide, their killing/starving their own people.

I have already shown the UN statistic where 87% of their own supply trucks are bring hijacked, ie only 13% make it to their intended destination.

You can guess who is doing it.

What does that mean?

" ... at least 208 Palestinians killed between January 1 and October 6, including 42 children, making it the deadliest year on record in the West Bank before the Hamas attack."

You're an ignorant child.

Israelis and Palestinians have been killing each other for decades.

The world didn't start in October 7th.

I wonder if you'd be able to go a month without writing an ad hominem attack. My money is on no.

Anyhow, back to your point about "overplaying" October 7th, is Hamas no longer in control? If Israel left today, would Hamas be back in a year or two to pull similar shenanigans?

You think this is about revenge, and I'm sure it is to some Israelis. I think I see it as it is intended by those conducting the campaign, regime change. And it looks like the Arab nations have come on board:

Arab States Call on Hamas to Disarm
drudge.com

I'd say ten more years of this at the most, and then Hamas will no longer be calling the shots, Israel can take Gaza as reparations, and Trump Towers Gaza can open six months later. But I've been accused of being an optimist. So lets say thirty more years, on the outside.

Oct 7 taught him Israel will never be safe as long as any Palestinian remains in Gaza or the West Bank.

His Jihad entered a new phase on Oct 7. He is fully committed to ethnic cleansinh the Jewish ancestral homeland.

Israel will be free of Palestinians, from the river to the sea.

I don't see it.

Israel will starve the remaining Palestinians to death long before then.

Besides, Trump wants his towers up before 2028.

There are more jews in NY than in IsNOTreal. jews will be fine. And as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing, of the islamojudeochristian religions they're generally the nicest, never had one try to convert me - unlike christians. I consider many of them friends.

The zionist entity has willfully forfeit its right to exist. If jews want to stay under Palestinian governance, that's fine and I would be all about protecting their human rights. But the state of IsNOTreal should be erased from the map. Apartheid IsNOTreal should have been treated like apartheid South Africa, genocidal IsNOTreal should be treated like Nazi Germany, forced to unconditionally surrender.

Yes, because if there's one thing the Muslims are known for, it's their tolerance of other people's beliefs when their colonizing their land.

OK, you and the Palestinians should get right on that. Right after they finish whining about their imaginary starving children.
