Hate to say it but, good. Isreal is finally getting a tadte of their own medicine. bullies getting bombed, sounds like a punk song

Why don't they target the heads of state and leave normal people alone? Joe Sixpack's family is only going to be enraged by his death.

Joe shouldn't of built a military installation in a residential area.

The problem is that israel uses its citizens as human shields.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 points 23 hours ago

As far as I know, a large majority of Israelis support the whole liebensraum thing, and fucking up Iran (whose government are also a bunch of murderous shitbags, btw). We don't really know how many "Joe six-pack" iranians support this confrontation. Often, even people who are against a government will support warring against a perceived enemy, which is why so many leaders, when in trouble at home, start wars. See Putin, Bush, Netanyahu, maybe Trump next, and a looong list.

Comment sections have been absolutely fucked since this started. I've seen some reports that these are hitting military targets but apparently I should be cheering about rockets landing a few dozen meters from this apartment?

I remember a video of an Israeli rocket hitting just outside a shop window in Yemen/Iran at a similar distance and people were balking that it could be hitting anything of strategic importance. Suddenly pictures of collapsed apartments and hospitals are fine because it's the guys you don't like?

Apparently it's a bad take for me to think civilians shouldn't be bombed regardless of how much Zionist brainwashing they have. People talking about "they deserve it" and pointing to Isreal opinion polls showing 60% support X awful thing. Last time I checked, a rocket doesn't take a survey before it explodes. So 4/10 people in that explosion deserve to die by association?

You all make me sick, down vote away.

Welcome to war, where human rights are optional and at the discretion of a select few. People will cheer for death like it's a gladitorial arena, while others act to mitigate as much suffering as possible. Still others will turn away in disgust and become recluse. No answer is correct; at least until the victor writes the history.

My only (personal) recouse is to focus on my impact at a community level, and hope that I get enough power, money, or influence to eventually do more.

Are you new to Lemmy? Didn't you know murdering innocents is okay as long as it's 'the bad guys'?

The amount of people here who salivate at the chance of inflicting violence at people they don't like is insane.

But it's okay because they're 'the good guys'.

Israel used that apartment building to hide an F-35 which they used to bomb an Iranian hospital. There is undeniable evidence.

I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Idk, I think we should have sympathy for people being kill because of war at all times.

I don't know who lived in the place that was bombed there, but unless I have reason to believe that that person is somehow responsible for the genocide, why would I hate them?

Israel is obviously filled with genocidal people, and those who support genocide are not going to get my sympathy, but there are those who are actively fighting it even. So I do feel sympathy for innocent people dying because of genocidal governments and their need to bomb every living thing around them.

[–] Thesilverpig@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

wasn't it about 82% of Israelis that supported the forced expulsion of Palestinians? I'm all for having sympathy for the innocent, just doesn't seem like there are that many innocents there.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

18% of israel is still 1.8 million people, that is a lot of people.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

It's like feeling bad when Berlin was bombed.

Like yeah there are of course some innocents there, but the majority are involved in either the war machine or the genocide.

[–] Count042@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

Why would you have sympathy for Israel attacking without provocation a state that turned out to be stronger than they thought?

The balls to brains ration must be close to infinite on the person who filmed this.

[–] COASTER1921@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What do you even do in a situation like this? You can't get to shelter in any reasonable amount of time and whether you're in the unit or on the balcony you're dead if your building is struck.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

I think they all have bomb shelters there and an early alert system

Being out in the open when debris is flying increases your risk though.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 76 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Imagine 20+ months of this without bomb shelters with minimum to no food and with constant shelling and moving. Israel has made bombings and terrorism become normal for people in yemen, lebanon, syria and Iraq. Israel has made the lives of millions unsafe in the middleeast.

Germany, UK you created Israel government and the US enabled its colonization and genocide since day 1. Europe should take them back or stop them.

In 2025, the humans of the world nations still compete in every scientific advancement known to mankind, and mine every precious and rare material source, and employ every advancement and investment in programming, AI, engineering and design on the planet for intimidation and colonization launching metals into each other bodies, polluting and destroying the planet climate and resources, spreading pain and murder to each other for selfish gain. Now those maniacs are threatening with nuclear missiles. People who do everything in their power and utilize everything in the possession to bring humanity and the world down.

All because they want few Zionists to rule in aparthied and colonization and not give democracy to whom they see as inferior races of other humans instead of working and lifting each other. The world nations should stop this instead of heading toward WWIII as if humans cant learn history.
