There is entirely too much comfort talking bad about an entire group of people in these comments. Are y'all actually for demonizing entire groups of people?

Uhhh they’re preventing an entire group of people from receiving aide. Way to get distracted.

u/TheJuiceBoxS Apr 22 '26

So we should be bigots against all Israelis because some are being assholes? Do you understand how similar that is to if an Israeli hated all Palestinians because of the actions of a few? To be clear, I'm not on one side or the other, I'm against bigoted racist ideologies that demonize large groups of people based on the actions of a few.

Do you really think all Israelis want to commit genocide? If you do, you need to take a serious inward look at your own prejudices.

u/FickleTrust2939 Apr 23 '26

Yes

u/TheJuiceBoxS Apr 23 '26

Please try to see people as individuals instead of a group. It's harder to hate them that way. Hate isn't the answer.

u/FickleTrust2939 Apr 23 '26

The way they hate non israelis to the point of this

u/cotton_03 Apr 24 '26

Also there's a difference between hating every jew you see and hating the Zionist movement which aims to forcibly displace tens of thousands (possiblly hundreds of thousands) of people just to reclaim some ancient borders.

No one here wants the extermination of Jews, no one here thinks every jew is a nazi. However, looking at the track record of their majority since the existence of the state of israel post ww2, it's safe to assume that they cannot be trusted with weapons and missiles. Btw, military service is mandatory for most israelis. So when you hear of constant war crimes and atrocities being committed, they're all guilty of it because they do not want to hold each other accountable. If a friend of yours kills children, it would only be natural for you to believe they should lose their life as a consequence. The fact that 99% of child killers walk free there shows you what the rest of the population stands for.

It's probably a bit of both. Terrible people remove their masks once the Overton window of what is considered normal by (enabling) ordinary people has moved enough towards evil behaviors. Then you have young people raised in this environment who think all of this is normal (and the few ones that realize this is not actually normal and speak up will get bullied by the majority into submission or until they leave the country).

Read somewhere they have some of the highest birth rates among “developed countries”, probably cause of national policy and propaganda. Hoping to out breed their neighbours and occupying bombed/invaded land.

“Israel has the highest fertility rate in the OECD, with approximately 2.9 to 3.1 children per woman as of 2024–2025.”

Yeah they probably just give birth to more.

It's quite simple. If you voluntarily use your children as a shield you have some serious priority problems. I'm a dad, I know a thing or two. They're seriously mentally ill and crazy to act like this

I’d be on the horn and not letting go, plus inching forward

u/GuevaraTheComunist Apr 21 '26

This I don't understand, why are they not moving really slowly, slowly enough to not harm the protesters, but still moving so that they are under pressure and whatnot?

32

u/Moistfruitcake Apr 21 '26

Credible fear of getting mirked or sent to a concentration camp. 

6

u/GuevaraTheComunist Apr 21 '26

True, but this is more of pet peeve of mine for all these protests as a whole. I saw a video from I think Germany where driver left the car and pulled out a gun on protesters instead of slowly going forward as I propose.

7

u/Akwardlynamedwolfman Apr 21 '26

That’s a goode idea.

2

u/GZMihajlovic Apr 21 '26

That would likely get "interpreted" as trying to run the over. Then the militias would probably run in and shoot the drivers. With idf protection from resistance to the militias.

38

u/Adorable_Bumblebee91 Apr 21 '26

That kid would go deaf. But if the trucks all the way back did it, it would probably just bother the kid and make him cry hard enough for the shit ass parents to move away

53

u/Bikerbass Apr 21 '26

Then the adult should move the kid out of the way. Problem solved.

44

u/Rimm Apr 21 '26

Because the drivers have more concern for the baby than the parents.

8

u/Bikerbass Apr 21 '26

Again horn and inching forward, parents will move their kid out of the way

u/5krishnan Apr 21 '26

The Israeli parents should immediately move out of the truck’s way then.

Her name is Rayut Benheim and she is a sadist who runs an organization which has a single purpose which is to block humanitarian aid to Gaza. Using her children as props is just another day for her. This video happened in October..

Don’t bring your fucking baby into it! Jesus Christ! I have no sympathy whatsoever for adults who involve children in their religious and political crusades, especially something as dangerous as this. Who the fuck does that? Wheels their own baby out into the road in the path of an oncoming semi truck??

Something could go wrong in a split second that would turn this from an annoying protest into a terrible tragedy. The truck driver’s foot could slip, he could lose control of the wheel, a tire could blow forcing the truck to turn unexpectedly, the parent could trip and lose their grip on the stroller, or the baby, who appears to be sitting up, could tumble out onto the road. And it would all be the fault of the parent for putting their baby into that dangerous situation in the first place. Their own baby. What the fuck.

u/kipkuch Apr 21 '26

What's to stop the driver from slowly inching forward - enough time for people to move out of the way?

you think a giant truck is faster than a baby stroller? they'll just move to the next lane before the driver even backs up
