The world isn't real. This is simply too ridiculous to have happened. I have been in a coma for the last six years and this is all just a weird fantasy playing out in my mind.

but i agree, it’s too absurdly horrible to be plausible
You're either in your coma or their coma, but either way, you're in a coma!

I had a concussion in 2008 and I’m wondering if I didn’t wake up from it and any day now I’ll wake up in spring 2008.
Headline was inaccurate - they didn't bomb a place for a gender reveal. Instead they bombed a place that produced blue smoke for some other reason and joked about how it resembling a gender reveal. That's...not better but it's an important distinction - one is blowing shit up to announce it's a boy and the other is blowing shit up to blow shit up and then joking about the color of the smoke.
Ok, so that was horrifying that they treated it so lightly, but this headline seems slightly inaccurate.
It seems they were not blowing it up for a 'gender reveal', but instead were blowing it up otherwise and something in the building produced blue smoke, and they found the resemblence hilarious.
Al Jazeera must have updated/corrected it. The title of the post was the original headline.
That's not a good look for Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera is always extremely anti Israel. The Arabic version even more so than the English one.

OK, that's somewhat callous, but I think almost any nation's soldiers would make that same joke.
You would need to be entirely devoid of any semblance of humanity to even conceive of this idea, right?
How do you want to celebrate the joy of a new child? Oh, I don't know, how about we make a light of ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Fucking ghouls

I'm decently sure they don't have the self awareness to even say that. The IDF just believes they're the good guys

Ethnic Genocide is now fully Normalized in Israel.
In some ways this is actually beyond Nazi Germany, were the actual perpetrators of the genocide did not make a public show of their murdering of the people they saw as untermenschen.
This kind of thing is a pretty good indication that there is far broader acceptance (glee, even) amongst the Israeli population for Genocide than there was amongst the German population in Nazi Germany.
I wonder what if nazi germany had access to social media, recommendation algorithms, bots, etc… influencing masses has never been this easy in history
From what I've heard the extreme racism is generalized in the Mainstream Press in Israel, so I'm not sure that it's the Social Media that's making Genocide along ethnic lines be more broadly accepted there than it was in Nazi Germany.
That said, the fables in Israel around "The Jewish People" and its identity with the Palestinians as "antagonists", have been spun for far longer and the antagonism has been going on for far longer (since the creation of the state of Israel) than the ones in Nazi Germany with Jews as "antagonist", so maybe the much longer time (about 70 years) during which Israelis have been indoctrinated about their own ethnic superiority and the "antagonism" of Palestinians in Israel compared to the length of the similar indoctrination of the population in Nazi Germany, is the main cause for the more broad acceptance of Genocide amongst the populus in Israel than in Nazi Germany.
If you've grown up hearing about how you're part of a superior people ("God's chosen people") and Palestinians are The Enemy who hate you and want you dead, and your parents too grew up like that, you're probably far, far, more likely to be an extreme racist that trully believes themselves to be inherently superior and that Palestinians as not really human like themselves - hence having zero empathy for the suffering of Palestinians and maybe even relishing in it - than somebody who has only been exposed to similar shit for a decade or two.
Their depravity has no limits
Fuck Israel.
And people wonder why I’m such a cynical, miserable fucking Eeyore all the time. Fuck humans so fucking much. Wretched creatures we are.
Israeli soldiers blow up building in Gaza and laugh about ‘gender reveal’ ‘It’s a boy!’ Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves blowing up a building in Gaza while laughing that the blue smoke resembles a ‘gender reveal’.
Fuck israël ans fuck IDF
what the fuck man
Please fix the title.
Oh how I long for the sweet bitter taste of ironic onion.
But nope. Way to much actual meat and gristle in this story.
Fuck these people who keep thinking the suffering of others is good for internet engagement.
Yo did the jews forget this same shit happened to them? Like multiple times?
Hello?
don't mix up the Israeli people and the Israeli state
More than half the Israeli people actively support the state. There were more protestors against the rule change that would've stopped rape as being used against prisoners than there have been against the genocide.
The Israeli people, at the very least, are Nazi civilians. I'm sure there's a few good ones in there. Hopefully they find a country to live in that doesn't require genocide to function.
The Israeli people have either been supportive of the regime, or just too milktose to do anything about it.
We're long past benefit of the doubt.

Fucking Animals
Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!
Aw! It's Satan gray! No wait, its pure evil blue, its a trump!. Nah! If you look closely you'll notice all the buildings belonged to poor defenseless people. So it's probably a rich evil asshole!
At least we know it's a boy!
Yay then we can mutilate its genitalia!
Man I must've really hit my head when I fell the other day because I thought that headline said Israeli soldiers blew up a building in Gaza as a gender reveal.
