This has gone on quite enough. Israel and the USA deserve to be abolished and anyone with an ounce of ppwer hanged. John Brown, The Soviets, fucken anyone who says put them down permanently, is right. You can't allow people to continue after doing evil like this. You have to stop them forever.

I never stop wondering how much social conditioning and impunity can change people.

No one in their right mind would ever do that. But these people's brains are turned into a mush made only to kill and torture, to inflict as much pain as possible, on purpose. What does it take to turn a regular person into this?

As proof of the level of depravity they get away with, Israelis rape palestinian hostages with knives and dogs:

I imagine the same type of force that turned Germans into nazis. Ordinary Men is a book that talks about how an average police unit slowly began committing atrocities during WW2.

And then telling they were just following orders...

This is how I know God doesn't exist, or is an absolutely colossal tool.

Exactly, have a friend who said "i belive in god, because this world could only be this fucked up on purpose"

I'm in the same camp, if there is a god then they're into cruelty

Israel becoming a country was a mistake, if this is the price of it.

they were given one without consent from the indigeneous population.

The people that "gave" them the land, the British, had no right to do it either.

Might be somewhat better, would be hard to get an early coverage of such a thing in the mainstream media. All of this is also based on interviews with the eye-witnesses although there are claims of confirmation by medical reports. There are also videos of the child with clear puncture etc wounds, which looks like human inflicted.

Yeah like the BBC or CNN or DW 😅

I mentioned in my comment from the start and before making any edit that this cannot belong to the jewish religon. Same thing happened with ISIS who adopted a false supremacist murderous and evil idology of Islam. They enslaved Yazidi women and slaughtered kids and men whom they viewed as not from the chosen people.
How the fuck was ISIS bad but Zionism is supported by Europe and the US and Western values? ISIS never represented Islam the same way Zionism does not represt Judaism. ISIS mirrors Zionism to the tee btw. They were colonizing lands that was promised to them by god, slaughtering and raping people for their promised Khalifite who will lead their people to rule the world. They also needed a country for them to escape "the prosecution" they experienced everywhere in the world to practice their idology. Does ISIS have the right to exist??

So lets not pretend these monsters dont exist regardless of what they claim their belief is; We judge them by their actions. The Episten files showed him and Donald Trump impregnating and aborting a mentally disabled kid numerous times. Also showed him mocking a girl who was asking Jesus for help because he absolutely does not believe in any god. Also showed his 1500 galons of acid tank that is connected to the swerage system beneath. There is an ongoing investigation regarding missing bodies in his NM ranch. There is hard undeniable evidence that this monsterous elite Epestien class exist and they do everything above the laws without shred of humanity.

Isis was paid by Israel and armed by the US

Humanity needs to decide what level of barbarism we will collectively tolerate.

Israel has been way over the line for a while.

If we allow them, Team Trump, and the rest of the greed first lobby to continue, i can only hope for total and complete nuclear destruction.

[–] amorangi@lemmy.nz 14 points 2 days ago

Israel and USA have led by example and demonstrated what the world needs to do - targeted assassinations.

This headline is ANTI SEMETIC! Let me FIX it For YOU! "Palestinian Father TORTURES his Child by Not Talking!" NOW it's NOT Anti Semetic!

-Governments who Wonder why People are Attacking Synagogues!

[–] peacefulpixel@lemmy.world 101 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (30 children)

anyone attacking synagogues is doing so of their own volition and are ACTUALLY motivated by ACTUAL antisemitism. Israel ≠ Jews as a whole

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 52 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Exactly, there's a difference between Jews and Israelis. Attacking synagogues is wrong but AIPAC offices, we can have a conversation about those.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For example, I'm Jewish, but I say "fuck Israel." Except for my one Israeli cousin who keeps getting arrested for disobeying orders. He and his squad are cool.

I was permanently banned on reddit for commenting under this exact story that I think Islamic terrorists maybe have a point.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Well it maybe would have a point if they blew up IDF soldiers and not some random train station in Europe or a stadium full of kids and teenagers. All that achieves is more hatred against regular Muslims.

These type of things happening disprove the the belief of good gods. If this type of shit can happen, your supposedly "good" deities are either not powerful or fake.

Damn it... They're even worse than Hitler's methods. 

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Mengele surgically attached children to each other to recreate "Siamese twins". He removed the eyes of a twin and implanted them into their sibling. He injected Typhoid bacteria into small children and opened their skulls without anesthesia.

The IOF is a gaggle of genocidal maniacs. They torture, maim and kill. They are not worse than Nazi Germany. Little of what humans have done on this earth is worse than Nazi Germany.
