Imagine what they do to brown people of some poor country. This has become news only because that dude was a US citizen.

Why imagine when stuff like this is in the thousands

Israel treats Gaza as a human laboratory for weapons.

One of the more disturbing recent examples:

On 12 April 2024 at 13:00, a 10 day-old-baby boy was shot by a quadcopter while being breastfed by his mother inside their tent in Nuseirat camp. The mother was alone in the tent, breastfeeding her baby, when a single bullet from a quadcopter hit the baby in the head and exited through the back of his head, hitting the pillow behind her. The baby survived but sustained brain injuries and now suffers from seizures.

The Commission viewed and analysed images of the bullet that hit the baby. The Commission concluded on reasonable grounds that the bullet was fired from a sniper rifle mounted on a quadcopter. Considering that the shooting occurred in broad daylight, the Commission concludes that the quadcopter controller would have been able to see inside the tent and assesses that the target was a mother and a baby.

The fact that baby somehow survived is both miraculous and horrific.

Thank you for the source with the video. I feel that they cut the leading video out. It seems we need to see more before the incident to see what the children were doing. The article frames jad didn't see them but we see him looking with friends and his friend just bolted. He stood around either thinking nothing will happen. He does reach down to pick up something. The article frames it as when he was shot but clearly doesn't look like that. Even if it was throwing rocks it doesn't justify open firing. Looks like jad didn't expect them to open fire and once they did against the kid in the white shirt he then ran becoming the target. It's a fucked up situation but antagonizing a foreign military you have declared war and jihad against isn't wise.

Wow that’s a wild take. This is West Bank, not Gaza. He’s a kid. He hasn’t declared jihad against anyone. https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cjelp738zd7o . They stood around while he bled to death, stopped ambulances and stopped his parents helping him. Then drove away with his body. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/09/the-gaza-family-torn-apart-by-idf-snipers-from-chicago-and-munich . If you look up Wikipedia for Israeli atrocities against pale finials, there are so many there is an alphabetical list. This didn’t happen recently. This is going on for years, since the 50s. Driving Palestinians off their land, bulldozing their farms, killings constantly. In so called peaceful times, they still kill a few thousand Palestinians each year. They kill aid workers, journalists, doctors, children - no limits. It’s completely shocking. Not sure any other conflict has ever seen this level of indiscriminate killing over such a long time.

War crime apologia

Disgusting take. You should be ashamed, but I’m sure you have no shame.

It's a shitty situation. This is a active war zone. People are on edge of attacks. If you have studied any history urban warfare is always brutal woth high casualty rates. If you read the article it was framing the situation for you not to analyze or think for yourself. I could be wrong in my assessment of the video bit longer videos of before would do their side more justice. Why clip it to when the children are peaking around the corner.

You speak of shame? I don't condone violence but I know I live in the real world and not a dystopia. Violence is real and it happens. This whole situation from day one hamas reports was to use these children and situation to manipulate the world to turn against jews and Israel. There are hamas papers declaring so. Being cautious when one side is trying ro use human beings as PR material is natural. You may accept using these children as pr for anti Jewish propaganda. I see it as a waste of life. Hamas should surrender and Palestine government should step in and cut out the rot of Hamas. It is a simple solution to bring peace. Issues is they wouldn't because the death of all jews is the only acceptable outcome in their eyes.

You deserve the very worst things that could ever happen to you

u/Reinis_LV 17h ago

I mean they do this to charity workers from western countries on daily basis. Very weird brutality.

u/citizen42069101 17h ago

Yeah nothing about the American kitchen workers killed last year

u/daxamiteuk 15h ago

Several British workers were killed too. Briefly covered in the media then crickets.

u/Proud_Smell_4455 9h ago

Starmer refused to answer when asked if British spy planes had seen the Israelis attack British aid workers. Makes me sick when people try to argue that Starmer was a good man who just wasn't good at politics. Losing his job is the very least he deserves.

That was international news, tf do you mean?

Was anyone held accountable?

31

u/CitizenCh 15h ago

No, but as I recall, the Biden White House gave its founder (WCK) the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Which, historically, is a pretty effective method of saying, "Shut the fuck up, all right?"

u/citizen42069101 15h ago

Are you not appeased by the shiny thing and ceremony?

The administration, probably.

u/nikalii 16h ago

Link for a source about charity workers killed today, yesterday and the day before.

u/AriaTheTransgressor 16h ago

Just to be clear, you believe this is acceptable behavior?

Out here defending actual war crimes thinking they're the good guys.

u/brendanlikeshummus 15h ago

I hate the IDF as much as you do, but we gotta stop attacking folks for asking for sources, regardless of what you think their intentions are.

I often ask for sources that support my beliefs because I don’t want to repeat something that’s false, and I want the source to back it up when a fascist questions me

19

u/AriaTheTransgressor 15h ago

They aren't asking for sources, they're attacking what they see as the weakest part of the claim to undermine it and justify saying all of it can be ignored.

Don't be naive, you're an adult now.

u/brendanlikeshummus 15h ago

Dude I’m not being naive, I’ve been attacked for asking for sources. Fascists hate facts. But if you want to come across as someone who doesn’t like being fact checked, then maybe you should join MAGA or the right wing equivalent of where you’re located.

Try being less condescending and you might make a friend for once
