Gaza’s government media office accused the Israeli army of “committing a horrific massacre”. More than 70 people were killed and about 250 others wounded, it said in a statement on Thursday.

The citizens had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.

“I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4.30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us, as if it was a trap.

Zionists are the new Nazis.

Treat them accordingly.

Hey Bibi, get fucked by an army of blue whales. You genocidal asshole.

In no way I'd support Hamas, but that my government still supports Israel is a fucking outrage.

The flour massacare: According to Bisan who is trapped in Gaza this was (one of the) the first deliveries of Flour to the north of Gaza. since a long while. The IDF used this to massacare Palestinians with.

Death count is not 104 according to Aljazeera with 1000 injured. The IDF shot at 1000 people looking for food. Israel are Nazi's.

Aerial footage from the IDF (not NSFW) twitter link

Ground footage (dark, tracer rounds can be seen but not graphic): Twitter link

Biden is the person that is making this possible by supplying israel with weapons they use to commit these massacres. Boycott your votes for Biden until he stops this Genocide.

Looking at your post history, it seems clear you're trying to make sure trump wins. This is all you do all day long, blame Democrats during election season, for something they aren't in control of. Knowing that trump winning would be worse on this issue mysteriously having zero effect on your message.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

I'm stopping Genocide in the most effective way possible, by tanking public support for it.

It's not November yet I'm not sure why you are already defending Joe Biden while he is still perfectly able to stop committing Genocide which would stop him from losing votes to people who oppose Genocide.

Or are you hoping he keeps this Genocide going until November?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah you're certainly stopping genocide alright. Trump has vowed to stop this war, right? Because he totally fucking could anyhow!

Also no one is defending Biden you liar.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What Joe Biden is doing right now is something I would have only expected from Trump. And the defense of it is something I would have only expected from Republicans.

You're not voting for Joe Biden either while he's still supporting Genocide right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I'm voting strictly for Joe Biden without question because I'm not a fraud who wants Trump as a dictator in office.

This in no way condones what ISRAEL is doing because I'm not willing to lie my ass off and act like Trump or anyone else would be any better at all.

Good luck with your lie campaign though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the Genocide stops more power to you. Fully agree.

If the Genocide will still be ongoing then you are in fact condoning israel. Empty words mean nothing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (14 children)

You are handing the reigns to trump who we all know will be way worse.

Thereby making it obvious that you know you're a liar and don't give a fuck about any Palestinian. You're specifically supporting the opposite of what you're obsessively claiming to want.

Your Lemmy profile is truly fucked. Guessing it's one of several accounts

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This guys entire comment history is anti-Biden propaganda. And yet they still think no one is aware of what they’re doing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Exactly. These turds seem to forget that viewing their profile is a thing

Who is this magical candidate who promises to run roughshod over 80+ years of US foreign policy and change the minds of almost every single Congresscritter (and their financial backers)?

spoilerAbsolutely fucking nobody, you're just a GOP shill

It's been going on before any of us were born, and none of us is directly connected to these events historically, and even those that were have conflicting stories.

Maybe this is all just geopolitical theatre, and we're all amplifying the propaganda. Puppets who will never meet those who pull the strings.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We can stop the Genocide with a choice for Biden to stop Genocide or lose the election. If he still chooses Genocide then we need to put on an entirely different tinfoil hat.

Trump won't bend and neither will his base but the Democrats cannot ignore the progressive who will not be complicit in Genocide.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe the people you vote for are some of the main cast. 🤔

This guy isn't a trump supporter and the fact that you'd blatantly lie about it says a lot about how twisted you are. Straight up trump style ad hominem gaslighting tactic.

Instead of engaging critics, you Biden cultists just gang up on and bully anyone who criticizes your shitty candidates.

The more I see comments like yours, the more I think about sitting this one out and watching you evil motherfuckers cry in November. It's so pathetic how you'd rather attack people than own Biden's foreign policy decisions. And you act like you're sooo much better than the GOP while you pull the same exact shitty tactics they use.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You're actually threatening to watch trump elected with glee so the idea that you care about Palestinians is laughably hollow.

Boycott your votes for Biden until he stops this Genocide.

Boycotting votes for Biden won't do anything because the US government, regardless of what party is in power, is unanimously pro-Israel. Boycotting voting for Biden accomplishes nothing in the face of united MAGA voters.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not voting for Biden is not a vote for Trump. Telling people they shouldn't vote for someone actively supporting a genocide is not telling them to vote for Trump. If someone does not vote for Biden it is a failing of the Democratic party. A leftist who does not vote for Biden is not effectively giving a vote to Trump because they were never going to vote for either.

The liberal fear of the Republican party and specifically Trump is what allows the Democratic party to move further and further right. The Democratic party will continue to move further and further right until it's only campaign strategy is that they aren't as bad as Republicans. It's already happening

Not voting for Biden is not a vote for Trump

Yes it is, full stop. I'm not having the idiotic argument with you so don't bother.

Yup, it's only Biden, not the overarching position of all US foreign policy and basically every elected official past, present, and almost certainly future, since World War II. And definitely not the fault of Bibi himself.

Plus Biden is God, if he says the word, it stops. Bibi definitely won't seek other avenues.

edit:

You do realize how ridiculous it sounds that you are going to basically let the guy win who:

  • actually instituted a Muslim travel ban last time he was in office
  • has literally described himself as "the most pro-Israel president ever"
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Similar events have happened in the past with israel and American president's have shut them down with one phone call.

In addition to Biden not stopping the Genocide, Biden bypassed Congress to give israel weapons to commit more Genocide.

If Trump wins it will be the fault of the people that supported Biden doing Genocide so much that Biden did not think he needed to stop doing Genocide.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nope. It will be the fault of people who didn't vote for the other candidate with full knowledge of how first-past-the-post elections work. You lot want to throw the baby out with the bathwater on this one, and it is knuckle-draggingly stupid. Maybe if Trump had come out and said he would unequivocally cockblock Israel from further action in Gaza, it would be one thing, but there is exactly zero evidence of this, and the rest of the garbage that comes with a Trump presidency is very much a known quantity. Including his stated intentions to end the American experiment as we know it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Us lot are going to make sure that Biden loses if he continues this Genocide.

If you want to lose the election by telling Biden he can continue to support Genocide that's your fault.

You can see the polling numbers in Michigan backing up my claim. The faster Biden stops the Genocide the faster he can actual start an election campaign.

you are going to basically let the guy win

It's not "letting" if that's specifically their goal

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair point. It's hard to tell in this day and age who is astroturfing and who is simply very seriously misguided.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Agree, but if you look at this dude's post history they are rabidly obsessed with blaming this on Biden.

Because Trump will be so much better for the Palestinians.

r/worldnews just seems to be a constant Hasbara conversation these days.

All voices are pro Israel. which is completely different to anything I have seen in my real life.

Good work Hasbara.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Beginning of the Iraq war was worse. You couldn’t dissent. At least with this one there is small voice of dissent.
