Arab countries are sham for not helping their Palestinian brother and taking them as refugees, so much for "Muslim brothers"
Fine-Entertainer-507@reddit
Which Arab countries do you want them to go to?
Lebanon is in chaos and right now battling hezbollah
Syria is under a new ex isis leadership and groups are getting massacred left and right and when the population can’t even afford to live how do you expect them to support the refuges
Jordan already has a huge Palestinian population and they wouldn’t be found of hosting them back after black september
And on top of all of that the Palestinian refugee aren’t known for behaving. Every country they went to they either tried to build a state within state or to overthrow the current leadership
HourEast5496@reddit
Oh yeah the victims of Znazis should just sit down quietly and die to please the ZNazi-Boot-lickers.
RandomPants84@reddit
He meant with regards to their treatment in nations that have housed them in the past. Like supporting the Iraq invasion of Kuwait after being allowed to take refuge in Kuwait. That is not about israel
HourEast5496@reddit
It is about the Nazis of Azrael who stole the land of indigenous Palestinians and making the refugees everywhere in the world.
RandomPants84@reddit
Dude, I support a Palestinian state. But I can’t just ignore the reality of what happened during the Iraq invasion of kuwait
Nileghi@reddit
Maybe go back to Poland?
Equivalent_Age_5599@reddit
Okay, I get you; that's pretty funny. I thought you were talking about the jews
Equivalent_Age_5599@reddit
Why don't you go back to whatever country you are from.
mmbon@reddit
Saudi Arabia could spend some billions on refugees instead of building a ski resort in the desert
Dry-Season-522@reddit
Add kuwait to the list, that's my favorite.
Longjumping-Jello459@reddit
If Palestinians leave Gaza they'd be unlikely to be allowed back in. The Arab nations haven't done enough to help Palestinians that's true.
RandomPants84@reddit
So it’s better to die in a war zone? Don’t let imperfect solutions get in the way of progress and saving lives
Em3107@reddit
So you’re saying Palestinians should stay in a conflict zone where they are at risk of being collateral damage?
waiver@reddit
I believe he is advocating for the genocide to end, which you disregard as an option because you appear to support it.
Em3107@reddit
Oh that’s simple then. Hamas releases all hostages and surrenders. The war ends tomorrow.
waiver@reddit
Except Netanyahu said that wont end the genocide
911roofer@reddit
You’re assuming the Arabs want the Palestinians alive. They don’t . They hate them more than they hate the Israelis.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Now you’re just projecting. It may surprise you to know that those you hate with every fibre of your being aren’t actually reviles by everyone else.
Your hate is your own. Stop pretending it’s universal.
911roofer@reddit
Kuwait threw them out. Lebanon keeps them caged up in concentration camps. The Syrian government slaughtered the in concentration camps. The Egyptian government announced they’d prefer a million dead Egyptians to accepting a single Palestinian refugee.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Translation:
“Someone else did something and that gives us the excuse to do something worse. Because we really hate them. But my not really knowing what happens to Palestinians in other countries isn’t ever going to stop me advocating for us to do really horrible things to Palestinians, because I don’t really care about facts or morality, just Zionism…”
waiver@reddit
They are rebranding antisemitic tropes to target Palestinians.
911roofer@reddit
You said the other Arab nations don’t hate Palestinians. I offered evidence they do. Do you not understand how arguments work?

“I’m trying to deflect from the main topic. Why are you calling this out just because it’s untrue and irrelevant?”
CJBill@reddit
No they're saying people shouldn't help Israel ethnically cleanse Gaza
NuggetoO@reddit
So you’re against refugees leaving an active warzone? Funny how when it’s Ukrainians, Syrians, or anyone else, people say they should flee and be protected, but when it’s Palestinians, suddenly they’re supposed to stay put under bombs. That’s not solidarity, that’s doing Hamas’ dirty work. Hamas wants them trapped as human shields, and you’re cheering it on. I wonder if you would feel the same if it was one of your family members trapped there.
CJBill@reddit
A key difference is Ukrainians will be allowed back to their country.
NuggetoO@reddit
Refugees never get a guarantee their homes will still exist, Syrians, Afghans, Rohingya, you name it. Civilians don’t deserve to be locked in a warzone just because you’ve decided their return isn’t certain. Hamas wants them trapped to die as martyrs, and you’re parroting that. Telling innocent families not to run from death is cruelty. Refugees are men, women, and children whose lives are worth more than the land beneath them.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Refugees in other conflicts don’t get a guarantee that they will be made stateless because the occupying power is an evil ethno-supremacist force which wants to ethnically cleanse the native population and expand their territory. But the Palestinians know that Israel wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza. Netanyahu brags about it.
NuggetoO@reddit
That’s nonsense. Refugees in almost every modern conflict had no guarantee they’d ever go home. Syrians fled entire cities flattened by Assad and Russia, no one promised them a return. The Rohingya were literally stripped of citizenship, permanently stateless. Afghans fled wave after wave of occupation, civil war, and Taliban rule with no clear future. To pretend Palestinians are the only people who ever faced uncertainty or the threat of ethnic cleansing is just rewriting history. None of that changes the basic truth: civilians in Gaza have every right to flee death, and telling them to stay put so they can be martyrs is morally bankrupt.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
You are saying that it’s expected that all Syrian refugees will never return to Syria, all Iraqi refugees will ever return to Iraq and all Ukrainian refugees will never return to Ukraine? That’s just incredibly stupid and in no way based on reality.
You are attempting to conflate a house being destroyed with permanent ethnic cleansing. It’s dishonest and easily seen through.
It’s interesting that you bring up the Rohingya. They are victims of genocide, just like Palestinians…
NuggetoO@reddit
I never said all refugees ‘never’ return. I said that in every major refugee crisis, there’s zero guarantee that they will return. Syrians didn’t know, Iraqis didn’t know, Afghans didn’t know, some do, some don’t, but nobody has certainty in the middle of a war. Acting like Palestinians are uniquely different because you label it ‘genocide’ doesn’t change the fact: civilians everywhere have the right to flee death. Refugees aren’t chess pieces. Telling families they should stay put and die just to fit your narrative is exactly what Hamas wants.
Rohingya were victims of genocide, made stateless, still the world recognized their right to flee. Nobody told them to sit tight and die for the land
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
NuggentoO:
I do agree that there is no guarantees they will return, but you are being disingenuous. In the Palestinians’ case, and in all cases where ethnic cleansing is the goal, the refugees’ return is expressly prohibited.
In effect, there is a guarantee by Israel that Palestinians will never return. And that’s the exact opposite of what you are arguing. It seems that you are attempting to support ethnic cleansing.
Israel has a history of ethnically cleansing the Palestinians and declaring that they may never return to their homes. One of Zionism’s core goals was the ethnic cleansing of non-Jews from the land a Jewish state would be formed on.
HourEast5496@reddit
So you're in favors of making deathcamps, killing civilians, stealing their land and calling it a war because your favorite kind of nazis are doing it?
KalaiProvenheim@reddit
“Collateral” implies it being done unintentionally
Em3107@reddit
Correct
KalaiProvenheim@reddit
To our knowledge, it isn’t
Longjumping-Jello459@reddit
Israel could and should have formed a coalition force with the plan to create safe zones in Gaza for civilians which would have had Arab troops from Saudi Arabia and Egypt as well as some US troops.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
No, we are saying that Israel should stop mass murdering civilians. The mass murders are obviously deliberate. Pretending they aren’t is just your way of supporting them and arguing for their continuation.
Zrva_V3@reddit
Collaterel damage? Just call it what it is, intentional targeting of civilians. And the alternative to the ongoing genocide is ethnic cleansing accordinh to Israel.

They have in the past, and got burned. Kuwait.
NotActuallyIraqi@reddit
First, Israel has closed ALL borders and won’t let anyone leave Gaza, so no Arab countries even have an opportunity to take any in.
Second, the countries know that if they take in even a few refugees, Israel will use it as a green light to have the military mass-deport all of the Palestinians. Netanyahu’s cabinet has publicly stated their desire to do this using the IDF. Netanyahu himself has said that Palestinians don’t exist as a nation and are Jordanians in denial and therefore should go there or Egypt. So none of these countries will be complicit in genocide by taking part.
Kinperor@reddit
The whole situation is sickening, why the fuck are we talking as if it's reasonable to ethnically cleanse (in order words, relocate) the Palestinians? Israel need to stop its illegal occupation, needs to halt all settling activities and above all else stop the blockade on Gaza.
The nazis mocked the rest of Europe too, when the rest of Europe refused to take in jewish refugees.
Dry-Season-522@reddit
Would you say Kuwait comitted an ethnic cleansing in 1991?
Kinperor@reddit

Dry-Season-522@reddit
And WHY did they do it?
Kinperor@reddit
Make your point plainly. How does this relate to the conversation.
Why does it sound like you endorse Israel starving a population mostly made up of woman and children (failing that, relocating them).
Dry-Season-522@reddit
Look if you can't understand why it happened, you can't understand why surrounding countries are refusing to help.
And Israel isn't starving the population. HAMAS is starving the population.
Kinperor@reddit
I did not ask you to recite zionist talking point, I asked that you explain your point, which you seem unable to do. But it would appear that it doesn't matter either way, since you would just reiterate the nazionist argument.
Dry-Season-522@reddit
"OMG the other side raised a valid point. Since they keep raising that point, I can dismiss it as a valid point!"
Sorry, your "Hey that's a zionist talking point" is a jihadist talking point and thus irrelevant. Whoo this is fun!

radred609@reddit
They said the evacuation of Rafa was impossible... but when push came to shove they managed to do it.
Advocating against the evacuation of starving civilians from famine conditions in an active war zone because it wouldn't be "safe and dignified" is a baffling position from the Red Cross.
ArCovino@reddit
This is the only conflict I’ve seen where there is a strong contingent of people supporting leaving civilians in active hot zones
imunfair@reddit
radred609@reddit
Just like how evacuating Rafah didn't mean cleansing "the entire gaza strip"
"Evacuating gaza city" also doesn't mean "cleansing the entire gaza strip"
Big_Red_Machine_1917@reddit
Israel's ministers are openly saying they are ethnically cleansing Gaza. At what point do you accept that Israel is doing monstrous things for monstrous reasons?
radred609@reddit
I'm not sure how this justifies the Red Cross advocating against the evacuation of civilians from an active combat zone that is experiencing level 5 famine conditions?
RandomPants84@reddit
Cause those people don’t care about Palestinians. They know it’s inconvenient for Israel if the population doesn’t evacuate since it means a higher death toll, and they want a higher death toll because it hurts Israel. Hurting Israel to them is worth more than helping Palestinians
imunfair@reddit
Oh come on, Israel has been setting up refugee "safe zones" and bombing said safe zones this entire war. Let's not act like the entirety of Gaza isn't active.
radred609@reddit
I never pretended that Gaza city was the only place where there is fighting.
But let's not act like evacuating civilians from the worst effected parts of the Gaza Strip is a bad thing.
imunfair@reddit
You know what would be better than herding starving people out of the rubble of their homes? Stopping bombing them and giving them as much food and clean water as they need, and paying for the reconstruction of their city that Israel turned into a Mediterranean Bakhmut.
radred609@reddit
I love how you immediately start doing the thing.
It'd be lovely if the Red Cross could pressure Russia to leave Ukraine, but they can't.
So, in the meantime, they helped move ukranian civilians away from the front lines like Bakhmut instead of morally grandstanding about how it would be "undignified" to help.
imunfair@reddit
I don't know what "the thing" is, I'm merely one-upping your repeated posts attempting to excuse what Israel is doing and trying to play it off as humanitarian. It isn't as clever as you seem to think you're being.
And under both Ukrainian and Russian law those people have a right of return. And they aren't in a cage so they can literally flee the warzone (if they aren't an adult male, subject to being press-ganged by the Ukrainian government). You were doing better before you started with the poor comparisons.
radred609@reddit
I am not excusing Israel's disregard for civillian casualties. Disregard for civilian casualties IS BAD, hence why it's ALSO BAD when the Red Cross advocates against the evacuation of civilians.
You keep conflating evacuation from Gaza City with "removal from the Gaza Strip"
They evacuated Rafah, they can evacuate Gaza City.
You started the Ukraine comparisons, not me...
imunfair@reddit
Yep, keeping you honest because you keep parroting Israeli propaganda. Forcing people to constantly relocate within a cage for fear of death (and then killing some of them anyway even if the "safe" areas) is not "evacuation". Evacuation - leaving the cage and never being allowed to return is the intent. Evacuation from a problem Israel is creating is ethnic cleansing with extra steps as a fig leaf.
But you already knew all that.
Overlord1317@reddit
Stop doing the thing.
ArCovino@reddit
1) it wouldn’t be a “cage” if Egypt let them evacuate
2) Conjecture
3) Conjecture
Meanwhile people die every day because they can’t evacuate. Even if 2) and 3) happened, alive, displaced Palestinians is better than dead Palestinians in Gaza.
NotActuallyIraqi@reddit
Your talking points are over a year out of date. Israel seized the Egyptian border and controls the Philadelphi corridor, in violation of their peace treaty with Egypt. Israel now controls all borders since 2024 and can’t blame anyone else for not letting Gazans flee. They shoot anyone who tries to flee the fighting even flying a white flag, which is a violation of the Geneva conventions.
ArCovino@reddit
Israel controls the Gaza side of the border, but not the Egyptian side, obviously. They can’t force anyone into Egypt without Egypt’s permission.
imunfair@reddit
Israel controls the Egypt border too, they've had control of what goes in and out for the entire war, that's how they were blocking aid completely. Otherwise the aid agencies would have just gone through Egypt and bypassed Israel's stranglehold entirely.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
This is the only conflict I’ve seen where there isn’t universal support for civilians in “active hot zones.” Normally no one cheers for civilians being mass murdered and ethnically cleansed.
But Israel’s supporters do. It’s remarkable.
Equivalent_Age_5599@reddit
They said that about rafa too.
Here's a cool idea; give up the hostages, surrender and turn over all your weapons. Then there will be no invasion of gaza city. The game is up. No amount of international pressure or force can make it stop. Hell, Egypt and Jordan are full on board despite what they may say to their domestic viewership.
So if you actually give a damn about your populace, the civillians, women and children you'll do the right thing. That's to surrender, release all the hostages and agree too disarm.
NotActuallyIraqi@reddit
Anyone saying “if Hamas surrenders, the war would be over” is outright lying.
Israel has made it clear that if Hamas surrenders and releases all captives, it will demilitarize Gaza, exile its leaders, and will completely hold control of the entire strip forever, annex it to its territory, and open gates for voluntary immigration.
Palestinians will live a life of oppression, same as the West Bank, forever.
Equivalent_Age_5599@reddit
What was it like 2 years ago? Because despite having rockets constantly lobbed at them, they never went in and invaded. If you don't want to lose a war, don't attack a much more powerful military. And if you are losing a war, have the common decency to to surrender instead of letting the people you govern suffer.
Gaza will be demilitarized, all the leaders will be killed or imprisoned now. They aren't going to take that tiny crap land.
Anandya@reddit
Will you give the people of Palestine full equality? Freedom? Will you bring their children back to life? Grow limbs?
Will you give them the basic right to vote? Equality?
Because I remember a slogan.
No taxation without representation.
Equivalent_Age_5599@reddit
They can vote for their own country. Israel is not theirs.
Both sides are missing children and limbs, let's not pretend palestine is innocent here.
Anandya@reddit
Israel occupies Palestine. They don't have their own country. Because Israel invaded it and has been committing ethnic cleansing since the 1960s.
jdorm111@reddit
Palestinian's are not Israeli citizens. They don't want to be. So of course they cannot vote - and will never vote - in Israeli elections.
It is so interesting how you guys talk without even knowing the most basic facts about the situation.
KaiBahamut@reddit
Who cares what the Palestinians want? Israel occupied both militarily, so it should either annex them or let them form their own nation.
jdorm111@reddit
That has been offered to them like 7 times - they rejected and responded with violence every time. Again, interesting, this complete historical illiteracy.
KaiBahamut@reddit
Because the Zionist terror gangs took their land in the first place. You want me to steal your house and offer you some of it back if you promise to stop fighting me for stealing your house?
Biersteak@reddit
The „Zionist terror gangs“ or militia, as normal people would call them, were a direct reaction to Arab attacks on Jewish communities because they didn’t like Jews buying land. It never was about „stealing land“ but one people not willing to consider sharing even one bit with another people. Even when 5 armies lost and they were annexed by Transjordan and occupied by Egypt, even when Israel occupied the Westbank and Gaza, offering them a chance, even when Israel pulled out of Gaza and took all the settlers with them, to see if maybe there could be something achieved. No matter what was offered, the Palestinian leadership will still say „all or nothing“ and they will grab their weapons and say they gladly sacrifice their children.
Well, not all Arabs really thought so, some didn’t see any problem with Jews around and their descendants are now the 20% Arab Israeli / Israeli Palestinians who have citizenship and live their life there
KaiBahamut@reddit
They literally bombed a hotel. If that’s a militia, then Hamas is just a militia, freedom fighters like Lehi, Igrun and Hanagah were.
Biersteak@reddit
Not saying things like this are justified in any way but it certainly was a thing that happened and the official militia Haganah also condemned this action, which also led to a infighting between Haganah and the more extreme splinter organisation like Irgun and the batshit crazy Lehi
KaiBahamut@reddit
Then you’ll condemn Israel letting Lehi and Igrun into the IDF. That’s as crazy as keeping Hamas militants in a new Palestinian state. It’d be bonkers.
Biersteak@reddit
Sure, allthought i can see this having been overlooked at that time considering that 5 Arab nations immediately declared war on Israel. One can‘t really be picky with their fighters in such a situation…well you could be but then you risk every Jew being slaughtered or driven to the sea.
I would have liked miltias of Irgun and Lehi standing trial after the dust had settled but that is revisionist dreaming and can’t be changed nowadays or are their any former Lehi members even alive? (serious question)
The biggest difference to the situation today is, i think, that Hamas didn’t have to be as militaristic and aggressive as former Zionist militias, given how there was no existential threat from the IDF pre Oct7th but Hamas also isn’t really a organisation that pursues their people‘s interest like Haganah or Fatah, who atleast are willing to negotiate some sort of potential peace with Israel still existing afterwards, allthought still rather while gritting their teeth.
No, Hamas has one goal and one goal only, there not being a Israel, afterwards there not being any Jews left anywhere on Earth and finally no non-Muslims left in the world. Palestinians are more of a resource in their eyes than anything else, the end goal is a global caliphate, nothing less. You really can’t have any constructive nation-building with such an ideology
KaiBahamut@reddit
The IDF was from its inception was an existential threat- did you forget about the Nakba? The Palestinians sure haven’t. They also see what Israel does in the West Bank- their land just gets stolen and their children die.
Biersteak@reddit
How much land in Gaza had Israeli settlers after 2006 and how many rockets had been shot into Israel since? Why did Gazans cross the border, rape, murder and kidnap hundreds of people and not people in the Westbank?
„There will be peace when the Arabs learn to love their children more than they hate us.“ that’s what it all boils down in the end
KaiBahamut@reddit
Why did Zionists cross the border to rape, murder and kidnap people in 48? How much land would they steal in Gaza is they were allowed? Probably as much as UN West Bank, where a Vichy government lays down for Israeli settlers instead of arresting them and tossing them in jail.
There will be peace when Zionists value children’s lives more than land.
Biersteak@reddit
Oh i think Zionists are doing rather well in that regard as they usually install bomb-shelters in every home in case any crazy group shoots rockets at them again.
You do realize how silly your argument is right? You try to justify a genocidal attack that happened just 2 years prior with alledged crimes, you don’t even cite, from 77 years ago? Is that really the hill you want to die on?!
Gaza was left alone in 2006, when Hamas won the elections and then took over in a short civil war Israel and Egypt both started enacting a blockade that was only worsened when Hamas kept firing rockets over and trying breaking through the borders.
Also a Vichy style Westbank PA, seriously?! Please shut up, when two IDF reservists accidentally drove into Ramallah they gutted those poor guys. You can suck off Hamas in your own time but Fatah has done much more for the wellbeing of the Palestinians than Hamas ever will because those Shia lunatics don’t care at all, they only want there promised global caliphat and if you can’t see that then you are to be pitied really.
Drop your Western romanticism for noble revolutionary causes, it doesn’t work like that in reality and only gets actual human beings killed
KaiBahamut@reddit
Isn’t Israel a romantic western project that got people killed? Zionists literally revolted against the natives and the British who were giving them land for free but that wasn’t good enough for them. It’s insane how a kingdom that existed once 3000 years ago is enough for an unlimited right of return, but people who lived on land stolen less than a human lifetime ago are insane for wanting to return.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre
It’s not my fault you aren’t aware of the violence that Israel inflicted to be born. Hamas didn’t exist until the 80’s but Israel has been killing people long before then.
Biersteak@reddit
No, as you can see by all those „Western“ nations suddenly eagerly aknowledging a Palestinian state, what ever that is supposed to be.
You act as if ancient Israel didn’t exist until under slightly two thousands years ago, when Romans destroyed the second temple and forcibly disenfranchised a majority of its people by slavery and distribution all over their empire.
Do native American people lose their claim to their ancestors having lived somewhere in the today United States? Do the Aboriginals do at some point? Being natives is never called into question unless it concerns Jews.
It’s disgusting and it isn’t even as if the Jews back then didn’t want to live side by side with any Goyim at all in the beginning. They just wanted a small piece of land without being raped and killed with impunity like it happened for the last thousand years in both Europe and the Middle East. But no, suddenly Arabs, originating from the Arabian Peninsula are somehow more native to the Levant than those dirty Jews who lived in Europe for genrations thanks to everyone ever since the Romans denying them a proper return.
The „evil“ Zionism is simply the conclusion that any native movement should come to. That there is no deadline for national aspirations and that one should pursue it with violence if need be.
Palestinians asa prople have the same right but as long as their biggest national goal is the destruction of the only Jewish state you can’t really blame Israelis for not buxing into that suicide by angry Muslims 🤷🏻♂️
KaiBahamut@reddit
That Jewish state is squatting on their land just like the US sqauts on Native Americans land, so I don’t know what argument you think you are making.
Biersteak@reddit
Oh so Palestinans actually existed in the Levant before Jews did?
KaiBahamut@reddit
Palestinians descend in part from Jews who converted to Islam during the Arab Conquests… so in some cases they are the Jews.
But blood and soil is playing the Israeli’s game. It’s literally Nazi ideology. The Jews have a right to live safely in the Holy Land. They do not have the right to murder people and steal their land. They aren’t taking it back from the Roman Empire 100 years after it was conquered, they are taking it from people centuries disconnected, who also had a right to live on their homeland.
Biersteak@reddit
So American and Australian natives have no right to their ancestral lands whatsoever, i would disagree but you do you mate.
And i will believe Palestinians being Jews the sexond they recite the Shema. Basing a prople on their genetics or „racial attributes“ id much more based on Nazi ideology than the cultural connection.
As i said before nobdy besides the most ridiculous Israeli ultra-nationalists would deny Palestinians a place in the land. Now ask a couple Palestinians in Gaza or the Westbank if they would be okay with living next to a Jewish state and come back to me. Maybe that way you will see who really is the rock in the way but given your former talk i highly doubt it since Westerners can’t fathom ethnic hate

If they disarmed and surrendered, every jew in israel would be mass murdered. If hamas disarmed and surrendered there would be peace.
Reddit_Sucks_1401@reddit
So your cool idea is basically just one side putting any effort? Israel just continues killing Palestinians and stealing land like they have for decades?
Equivalent_Age_5599@reddit
I seem to remember them demolishing every settler home back in 2005 hoping to achieve peace. I seem to remember them trying to integrate their economy with the Gaza strip, and hire more temporary foreign workers from palestine to improve their economic outlook. How were they repaid? That knowledge was used to subvert their defenses and killed 1200 people. They are getting what they deserve.
Overton_Glazier@reddit
Ah yes, now explain to us why Israel is still annexing more land in the West Bank and treating the West Bank Palestinians like trash?
Oh that's right, because Israel has always been a brutal occupying force and your notion that Hamas would just have to surrender for it all to be peaceful is a load of shit.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
This is a misreading of the situation by the Red Cross. Israel is demanding the evacuation of Palestinians because it’s unsafe and isn’t feasible. The idea is to kill as many Palestinians as possible while pretending you don’t mean to. Hence why they keep saying that aren’t starving Palestinians, just there’s no way to let food in.
I’m surprised the Red Cross has bothered to say anything, though. They seemed quite content to stay quiet while Israel was mass murdering Palestinian ambulance drivers, doctors and nurses. All those ambulances with a Red Crescent in the side shot up, crushed and buried and the Red Cross didn’t stay a word. Guess the racism still runs deep.
OptimisticRealist__@reddit
Just fyi, per the UNs own aid oversight watchdog, around 90ish% of aid is being stolen within Gaza.
Super_Duper_Shy@reddit
Who is stealing the aid? I've heard that a lot of it is being stolen by Israel-backed gangs.
Biersteak@reddit
Could be any and all armed groups really, they usually don’t wear identifying arm/head bands.
You got Hamas, Palestinian Jihad, the Gaza-branch of the Islamic State, several smaller „militia“ groups of several political allegiances and local clans, some working with Israel to get rid of Hamas or atleast weaken them and some don’t.
Since aid means power everyone with the manpower and guns will attempt to get their hands on it really
amphibia__enjoyer@reddit
Including the IDF according to the USAID report. This total societal collapse was engineered, as was the famine. Desperation and a lack of any governing body will cause gangs and even ordinary people to loot trucks, especially since aid distribution is a fucking death trap. The plans of ethnic cleansing were floated internally since late october 2023, we got the documents. The plans of engineered societal collapse are from the late 2000s.
Biersteak@reddit
Have you ever seen a aid distribution when the UN was coordinating things? There never was any orderly giving-out of aid, they threw sacks from the truck and anyone in the crowd that could grabbed something, well either that or Hamas came along and lead the truck to a warehouse where they would sell it to merchants at their leisure.
Got a link to the documents you alluded to? I would gladly read through those tomorrow morning by a tea
amphibia__enjoyer@reddit
Military Intelligence Paper from 2023 outlining how displacement (ethnic cleansing) would be most viable for "Israel's security" The "General's Plan" or Eiland Plan involving starvation as an intentional method of warfare
I don't care to respond to the rest of these claims because to still think the GHF is a better means of distributing aid than the UNRWA, is ridiculous.

My problem is that you keep lying. I thought I made that clear.

You haven‘t lined a single lie i supposedly said but okay, everyone can have their opinion, if yours is make-belief that is okay too i guess

„You hate Arabs and Muslims! I prove it by linking your post in which you explain how you don’t hate Arabs and Muslims!“
Please make it make sense
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
You spread Araphobia and Islamophobia. Don’t really do it out of love?
Biersteak@reddit
You spread antisemitism and justify genocidal ambitions of jihadists!
Great, now we both have thrown baseless accusations at eachother, unless you actual do those things, which i hope you don’t.
I criticize Islam and „Arabs“ when there is something to criticize, not out of love but out of a basic respect towards people and their inherent, self-evident worth as humans.
If i would spout nonsense accusations without facts to back anything up then yes, it would be bigotry but i don’t do such a thing.
There is widespread normalization of antisemitic views throughout the Islamic world nobody can deny this and it should be adressed just as a minority of Muslims commit terror attacks and closing your eyes and scream islamophobia, putting yourself in a constant victim role and defending those extremist ideologies isn’t helping those billions of normal Muslims who would never even dream of committing violence in the name Allah.
And no, i am not defending those equally crazy extremist Zionists, called Kahanists to be more precise, who think Jews are somehow better and all Goyim should leave Eretz Yisra‘el. I oppose them just as much. And that is much more than most of self-proclaimed „anti-Zionists“ are ever doing when it comes to antisemites, who want to „globalize the intifada“ which is a straight up call to the mass-murder of Jewish people
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Biersteak:
This is patently untrue. You have posting about the dhimmi system as though it's in place today and will be used to oppress you if you didn't have a religious state in Israel. You also justify and defend Israel's abhorrent immigration laws, the occupation, and the mass starvation in Gaza today, pretending that it's somehow not Israel's fault. It adds up to you believing that Arabs aren't human enough for you to ever contemplate living with.
Biersteak@reddit
What makes you think this wouldn’t be the case when it was literally the case last time under Islamic rule (Ottoman Empire)? Either way, it was more of a example how „good“ Jews were treated in these situations throughout history, not really a statement that this would definitely happen, especially under jihadists they tend more towards attempting genocide, as seen with the Kurds, Yazids and Druze.
Abhorrent immigration laws? Who are you to judge that or is every nation now no longer sovereign in that regard? You can easily enough become a resident and be naturalized over time. I guess you are just mad that „the right of return“ for Palestinians isn‘t binding right?
Also Israel is not a religious state achi, there is no official state religion and Israel lets things like marriage and such up to the different religious organizations.
Why leave it by occupation and „mass“ starvation, don’t you all usually also throw holocaust-inversion and apartheid accusations in there at any chance given? Come on now, you need to hit all the buzzwords or you bubble will turn on you for being lenient towards Zionists!

Brudi du kannst auch einfach normal reden mit mir, ich hab nicht studiert oder so.
Ich finde es einfach nur ekelhaft wie Leute heutzutage über Israel reden, ohne Zurückhaltung, ohne „Nuance“ in irgendeinem Sinn. Was inzwischen verständlich ist weil selbst Journalisten im Öffentlichen einfach null Mitleid gegenüber den Leuten, die am 7.Oktober verstorben sind, gezeigt haben und bevor Israel überhaupt reagiert hat über das potenzielle Leid der Leute im Gaza zu diskutieren.
Ihr hardcore Linken wollt vielleicht weiter Islamistenschwanz lutschen bis ihr am Sperma erstickt aber mein Volk nach ein paar Jahrhunderten des Dhimmitums langsam aufgewacht also gönnt euch, wir bleiben solange auf der Seite der Muslime die nicht unseren Tod planen.
Lerne einfach ein bisschen Demut und schau in die Geschichte im Nahen Osten und vertiefe dich mal in die jüdische Perspektive bei dem ganzen, vielleicht verstehst du es dann ansatzweise.

Mit dem Rest von dem Durchfall, welchen du hier von dir gibst werde ich mich nicht auseinandersetzen, weil ich dich lieber dabei in Frieden lasse dabei, wie du dir, irgendwie, mit deiner überschaubaren Nudel, selbst das Gaumenzäpfchen massakrierst, während du darüber fantasierst, wie andere Leute schlucken. Nimm die Hand vom Nahkampfstachel und reiß dich am Riehmen, bevor du deinen Fetisch teilst. Ich habe übrigens auch nie studiert, aber ich bin gebildet genug, meinen Ton dem Ernst der Lage anzupassen, statt das ganze so zu behandeln wie eine Fußballrivalität. Wie schon gesagt, behalt die Worte weiter im Kopf, fühl dich jetzt erstmal groß und stark, aber die Geschichte wird diejenigen, welche du nun verurteilst freisprechen.

Oh reddit certainly tries to prevent this, just yesterday i got a „not automated“ 3 day ban until i responded that mentioning that combatants having to wear indentifying uniforms according to international law is not „hate speech“ and it got repealed.
I gladly take the downvotes for my opinions that i give in a rather polite manner when it means those terminally online might get a reality check once in a while
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
The problems that your opinion is not informed by facts, just Araphobia, Islamophobia and blind support of Israel.
Biersteak@reddit
Okay, if you that i guess that is you opinion or something 😂
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
I have proof. Your posts clearly show that.
Biersteak@reddit
Sure, i have something against religious extremism, are you insinuating that all Arabs (never heard the term Araphobia before in my life) and Muslims are extremist islamists?
That’s not very nice to say and i certainly don’t share in that ridiculous sentiment. My philosophy is „live and let live“, which is why i neither like people Hamas nor do i like Israeli settlers in the Westbank, especially those who indulge in violence against Palestinians.
If that is a hot take for some then i am really sorry but touch some grass, the existence of Jews and Muslims doesn‘t have to be zero-sum game
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
You are literally spreading araphobia and Islamophobia now by pretending that you only object to extremists while in the past you have painted all Palestinians with those brushes.
But, really, it’s irrelevant because you are a genocide denier who lies to support Israel’s starvation in Gaza.
Biersteak@reddit
I never in my life said anything against „all Muslims“ or „all Arabs“. Palestinians in general are radicalized but not because they are Palestinians or because they are Arabs or Muslims and this would be a inherent trait but because of decades of conflict and targeted propaganda in the education system, nothing more.
Just as people in the USSR were conditioned to think a certain way or the German youth during the Nazi regime or how the US educstion system tries to condition children towards a more favourable view on turbo-capitalism because „freedom“.
The problem isn’t the people, or their religion or the ethnicity but the system that conditions the new generations a certain way and when the ones in charge want to propagate a zero-sum view on the conflict then you will end up with a good number of young people who will believe exactly that.
What you are doing is throwing buzzwords around because you came here to jerk off in a bubble where everyone agrees and gives upvotes for the most snarky insult to Israel instead of admitting that when we want to have any chance of ending this conflict between Palestinians and Israelis then both sides have to reflect on their own actions and behavior and the radicalization is one point of them, it doesn’t help to shut your ears and eyes and frame everything as „Islamophobia“ or „Antisemitism“ in the hopes of ending all discurs. It doesn’t help anyone.
All of you behave like a bunch of terminally online losers who treat this like some influencer drama so you drop some dumb comments in the hopes everyone agrees so you can keep gobbling up the drama slob and i wouldn’t care if this was some Hasan Piker, Ethan Klein or Destiny drama but it is a war in which people die and i am sorry but when these are the stakes you have a responsibility to educate yourself on the whole thing, all sides and not just parrot one side and dehumanize the other because it reinforces your previous bias.
That’s it, crashout over
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Biersteak:
Sure. I believe you.
So there’s a small chance that this may be due to them being occupied and treated as subhuman by Zionists like you for decades? But mostly education, right?
Your ImpactSE talking points are completely convincing. We should ban all Palestinian textbooks!
Or you could face the truth - watching Zionist Jews just like you brutally beat their family members to death and then have Zionist Jews like you come to defend that act makes a lot of Palestinians believe that Zionist Jews like you are really a brutal, murderous bunch of monsters.
I wonder if Zionist Jews are conditioned to think a certain way? Nah, can’t be. It would mess with your self-awareness…
Are you sure that Abbas wants to propagate a zero sum view? If not what exactly is Israel doing to meet him half way? Mass murdering children and letting the settlers rampage all over the West Bank supported by the army?
You support genocide. Because Palestinian are deserving of it. Are you really so blind that you can’t see that you view the Palestinians as subhuman?
And bullshit me about buzzwords when everything you say is straight from the hasbara manual. “Textbooks!” “Radicalisation!”
Fucking pathetic. At least try to have an original thought about this. Like why do all your arguments break down when we look at the West Bank?
£All of you behave like a bunch of terminally online losers who treat this like some influencer drama so you drop some dumb comments in the hopes everyone agrees so you can keep gobbling up the drama slob and i wouldn’t care if this was some Hasan Piker, Ethan Klein or Destiny drama but it is a war in which people die and i am sorry but when these are the stakes you have a responsibility to educate yourself on the whole thing, all sides and not just parrot one side and dehumanize the other because it reinforces your previous bias.
Oh, god, another one. “Educate yourself!” Have you ever even talked to a Palestinian in real life or seen an interview with them? Maybe if you had you would figure out that they aren’t the mindless automatons you believe they are but real people with real feelings who care about their families and don’t conform to these Zionist stereotypes of secretly wanting to mass murder all Jews.
So soon?
Biersteak@reddit
You can make this case for the Westbank but Gaza hadn’t been occupied since 2005, with the IDF pulling out and forcably removing its own citizens.
Banning textbooks created and distributed by UNRWA, which dehumanize Jews and promoting jihadism would be a necessary step for any chance of future co-existence right? Well, unless your actual goal is to deny Israel its existence all together, then you certainly wouldn’t see a major problem with the education system.
Also, just like your accusations of Araphobia and Islamophobia, i never in my life defended the illegal Israeli settlements or the actions of the settlers there. I infact always said that these settlements shouldn’t exist and certainly not be expanded and if settlers commit crimes against Palestinians in the Westbank they should be held accountable in court and, since they are in a area under martial law, they should be judged by it just as Palestinians are. It’s always the same dumb shit, just because i am a Zionist people think i observe shabbat with crazies like BenGvir right after we beat up a bunch of Palestinians who tried to get some water. Get more creative for once.
Some probably condition their own kids domestically in a way but there isn‘t really a specific organized effort, besides general Israeli education, if you mean that.
Also that isn’t really necessary as Zionism has such low entry levels as „Should Jews have a right to self-determination and be able to have a country of their own.“ and i know this might sound weird to non-Jews but the majority of Jews really believes that we should have the same right of self-determination as any other ethnic group in the world. If something is self-evident you don’t really need to hammer it home i guess.
Abbas, as is tradition in the Palestinian leadership it seems, is mostly concerned with sustaining his own power base no matter the cost but atleast the Palestinian cause comes second or third for him unlike with jihadist fanatics like Hamas.
There were several agreements reached, for example Oslo I in which both sides recognized eachother officially and a agreed on a transition phase in which governance of the Westbank would be handed over step by step under the condition that the PLO would renounce terrorism.
Oslo II then was supposed to kick of the actual transition of governance to the PA, which already was fullfilled in Area A and partially in Area B even though there never was a full stop of terrorist attacks financed by the so called martyrs fund (or „pay to slay“ as it‘s also known) until earlier this year.
Why it didn’t proceed from there? Because there are still major points to be agreed upon, lile the question of Jerusalem, do the Jewish settlements get to stay or not, could settlers renounce their Israeli citizenship and become Palestinian citizens in a future state if they chose to? What are the final borders between Israel and the Westbank to be? Would Palestinians and their descendants who were expelled or fled be allowed to return to Israel as citizens or not?
Then the Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a right-wing extremist Jew and later Ariel Sharon walked onto the Temple Mount which kicked of the Second Intifada. You can imagine that constant suicide bombings kind of halted the political process and the sentiment of the population to give further concessions to a political entity that didn’t just officially represent but also finance the individuals and their families with the previously mentioned martyrs fund.
You are lucky you are not in my country or you would get sued for diffamation.
Again, pure diffamation or can you quote me on referring to Palestinians as „lesser“ in any way?
Where is any of that hasbara? Look up the official school textbooks the UNRWA hands out and tell me those aren‘t purposely agitating children towards anti-Jewish and anti-Israel sentiments.
And yeah, no shit children in Gaza are getting radicalized when they are regularly carted off to „summer camps“ in which they get hold and train with fire-arms and be taught that dying a shahid is the greatest honor one can achieve in this life. What the hell are we even arguing about here?!
Because the PA might be a ultra-nationalist, rather corrupt governing body with no love for Israel but they aren’t religious fanatics who would sacrifice every last one of their people just so they might destroy Israel or why do you think they even coordinate raids on Jenin, the biggest center of Hamas activity in the Westbank, with the IDF? Even Fatah hates those batshit crazy jihadists some people in the West cheer on as „resistance fighters“.
Yes, i have spoken with several Palestinians over the years. Most diaspora-Palestinians were at first very reserved since i often was the first Jew they ever met and on top of that i even said i am a Zionist, so the enemy in their heads. Turns out they usually agreed on almost all points funny enough. Concerning interviews of Palestinians, it was a wide range of opinions. The dismantlement of Israel, or atleast the „Jewish“ part of it, either Muslims and Jews living side by side or Jews being expected to go. The unapologetic destruction of either just Israel, Jews and „traitor“ Arabs alike, or in following steps all Jews and then at later points the islamification of all the world (that would be the Hamas supporters i assume).
But also Palestinians who stated they just want a end to the violence, Jews get their state, Palestinians their own and that’s it for the time being, letting generational wounds heal for a while, building a house, raising families without fear of bullets or rockets and all that. And i think that’s a lovely opinion to have, which i would the closest to if i am being honest.
I never said or even thought that Palestinians are „mindless automations“. Just because a national identity leans towards something doesn’t mean that all who identify with it share every single point. Just like Jews and every other people Palestinians are individuals first after all.
Have you read the founding charta of Hamas? Have you read or seen what Hamas and yes, sadly also unaffiliated civilian combatants from Gaza, did to Israelis on Oct7th? The sheer uncontrolled violence on that day? Have you seen people cheering in the streets, not just in Gaza but also London, Paris and Berlin? How people danced and gave out candy?
Where is „antisemites want to murder all Jews“ a stereotype when people have orgsnization that literally state this goal?!
This isn’t even inherently a Palestinian thing, this is a global problem of the fetishization of violence in the name of „revolution“, of emboldened antisemitism, of a disproportinate demonization of the state of Israel and all its people. Extremist views all around world are on the rise and get whitewashed and glorified by those who are barely affected by it, for now atleast.
pimmen89@reddit
Yeah, I saw the UN distribute aid in 2024. No famile and no massacres of people in line to the food. Way better than now under the Israeli distribution.
Biersteak@reddit
What is a famile?
Also, there‘s so much talk about massacres happening at the distribution lines of the GHF but i haven‘t seen any evidence as of yet, do you got any?
And seriously, please don’t just link this one statement of the former green berret who worked for GHF and is apparently in a legal case with GHF for that, who claim he got fired and did this as revenge because they wouldn’t re-employee him
pimmen89@reddit
It’s a typo of ”famine”.
What more evidence do you need then the testimony of the people there and former soldiers who served there? Why should I believe the IDF over the green beret when the green berets statements line up with other sources on the ground?
Biersteak@reddit
Because so far there was only mister green berret aka Anthony Aguilar who would come out with his name, everyone else, if they exist, did so anonymously, i dont take too much weight on these kind of sources, it’s either totally made up or a sign of cowardice in my book
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
There had been extensive reporting. Pictures. Eye witness statements by Palestinian. The UN people on the ground. Are they really all lying?
Biersteak@reddit
Then maybe reinforce your opinion eith lonks like other guys, better than you, did?
pimmen89@reddit
You’ve honestly not seen or read any other reporting of massacres at aid distribution points besides Anthony Aguilar?
Biersteak@reddit
Oh i have read some claims of shootings at the sights allright, then it turns out there was gunfire several kilometers away an news agencies just run with it without double checking. I even saw 2 (!) videos of something comming close to it.
One was in a trench of some sorts with people taking cover during seversl short bursts of fire a distance away and one of armed men firing in the air.
Now i am certainly no experts but everyone in Gaza has a smartphone, so if this is a daily thing with hundreds dead every time, according to media, then the lack of any other material is rather strange, hell, Hamas has a whole branch of affiliates who do nothing but film propaganda, why is there nothing filmed by them?
It’s really weird in my eyes, maybe there are terrabytes worth of these massacres but how would i know, i haven‘t seen any of it
pimmen89@reddit
In all of the dozens of cases where more than 2,000 civilians were killed combined, you’ve investigated and found out that the gun fire was kilometers away?
When the massacres were committed Israel didn’t allow journalists in, and we have statements from more soldiers than Aguilar who went to AP News and Haaretz. Al Jazeera was also able to get videos of some of the incidents. Not that it matters, there’s literally video evidence of Israel massacring ambulance personel and you pretender like it didn’t exist and then deflected from the topic once I brought up in another comment thread. Genocide apologists like yourself have already made up their minds.
Biersteak@reddit
I never said this couldn‘t possibly have happened. I said that haven‘t seen any of those thousands of supposedly existing footage and the footage that i did see wasn’t really a massacre (if i remember correctly there wasn’t even anyone getting shot) that’s is a difference
Now concerning the ambulance incident, i never denied it happened. Everyone safe one Palestinian died in that combat situation. I simply didn’t want to elaborate any further because it was around 3am around here and really wanted to wrap things up for the day and get some sleep.
What happened, according to what i could puzzle together, was as follows:
Now, was this attack justified? No, they were, as far as we know, unarmed. The paramedics follow a emergency call from car 1 and went in blind. The IDF shouldn’t have engaged them.
Was this a premediated warcrime and the soldiers were bloodthirsty monsters? Also no, they only knew a unannounced convoy of some sort was advancing to their position and made a wrong call. A tragic accident at best, a accidental warcrime at worst.
The first claims by the IDF, that there was no emergency light was a miscommunication, as car 1 seems to have been the one without lights on, the convoy had lights on and, as they didn’t communicate there position to the IDF, which is the only thing they did „wrong“ at all here, were sadly at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ans that‘s basically what i could gather from this incident. You are welcome to ask any specifics or tell what informations you have or think i am getting wrong
pimmen89@reddit
And why would Anthony Aguilar be less reliable than the repeatedly lying IDF? Especially when what he says is corroborated by all the other independent sources on the ground, anonymous or not.
Biersteak@reddit
If you can only name one single source on a matter and „trust me bro“ everything else you still only have one source, that’s what i am getting at. Why would the GHF be more prone to lying on the matter when they say that Anthony Aguilar wasn’t even stationed in Gaza at the time he allegedly saw what he saw but was in a hotel in Tel-Aviv?
It’s the word of one side against another without any other evidence and people just choose the side that fits their previous bias and don’t question anything else after that
pimmen89@reddit
He’s not the only source, but he is one of the soyrces with the most insider knowledge. Because of the GHF’s affiliation with the Israeli government they already become a worse source at face value. It’s why I trust the word of a North Korean defector over the North Korean state news.
Biersteak@reddit
So GHF is not reliable because of their cooperation with Israel in your opinion.
Do you also believe the Gazan ministry of Health or the UNRWA is a unreliable source because of their cooperation with Hamas, as the defacto ruling government?
pimmen89@reddit
It’s not just UNRWA and the Gazan Ministry of Health who are reporting about the massacres on aid stations, there’s multiple journalists and witnesses from all kinds of independent organizations. There’s no need to evaluate how trustworthy Hamas is at all because there’s just such a big volume of reporting of Israel’s genocide from other sources.
That’s why you’re deflecting and try to shift the discussion away from Israel’s genocide to Hamas.
pimmen89@reddit
But the vast majority is stolen by Al-Shabab, funded by Israel.
Biersteak@reddit
How do you know that? Every picture and video evidence i saw only showed masked, armed men in tracksuits and no identification
pimmen89@reddit
All the journalists who are there report that it’s by Israeli funded gangs like Al-Shabab. I guess that’s why Israel tries so desperately to twist or make up shit that could make journalists look like Hamas sympathizers, if they can’t just kill them in a double-tap.
Biersteak@reddit
You do realize there aren’t really impartial journalists in Gaza right?
You either got those Israel lets accompany their troops or you got mostly local Gazans who get recruited for their work by several foreign agencies like AlJazeera or Anadolu and those are certainly vulnerable to being pressured by Hamas and other groups who have a Investment in nothing negative about them getting out.
I sometimes wish i could just be as uncritical as those most vocal about this conflict, must be a blessing
mostard_seed@reddit
No. Be critical of everything. That is a good attitude for sure, but if you are not going to believe anyone on either side you are inevitably going to just believe what your pre-existing biases drive you to.
I'll just remind you that conflict of interest can go both ways.
Biersteak@reddit
Oh i am very aware of this. I am pretty sure the conflict is mostly only being so lengthy because Bibi is scared of his corruption case and the investigation into how much legit intel was ignored leading to and being communicsted during Oct7th. I am also very aware that the extremist elements in the Knesset, like BenGvir and Smotrich thriving on the hate currently being spread because in peace times their demagogic rhetoric would find such fertile ground.
I do believe that Israel has a right to defend itself but not at the unnecessary, avoidable cost of civilians just as i believe that the Palestinian people have a equal right to fight for their self-determination but not at the unnecessary, avoidable cost of civilians.
I know that i get double the hate for this stance but it’s what it’s, morality shouldn’t be up for sale and if people any of my takes are too extremist i am happy to get factual arguments why i should change my opinion
Amphy64@reddit
Ok, how about we look at this historical example? The passage is from a book on the Haitian Revolution:
It's not about whether it was wrong to kill that one white child. It's about whether it seems to you relevant to keep bringing that up and saying 'both sides did bad things' when we're trying to talk about the horrors of slavery. What do you think, is it relevant? No one with the luxury of being at enough distance from events, that panicked first rush of uprising, a struggle for life and liberty, to have empathy for the child, likes the idea of killing children. This does not need to be said. Forcing people discussing slavery to disavow the action over and over before they're allowed to speak is a form of disruptive tactic. I appreciate some don't have enough background knowledge not to be mislead by those using it as a tactic into thinking 'both sides' is just an innocent reasonable response. This is why knowing the history first is critical, though.
I'll add a link to one documentary in a second.
To return to the prior example, it's generally pointless, just as a matter of pragmatism, to hold desperate human beings to a moral standard we can see that, in the heat of the moment, over and over, they simply will not meet. In Psychology, we studied the behaviour of crowds, and problems of conformity. Israel's military is organised in a way Hamas' fighters don't really have the same opportunity to be, and we still see high levels of disciplinary breakdown, actions from soldiers even the genocidal government hadn't strictly speaking approved. I'm not an anarcho pacifist because I think humans are always perfect angels, but because them not being, it's vital to create conditions in which doing the right thing is also the easy thing. The current IDF is not it, and expecting Hamas to be, with everything Gaza went through long before Oct 7th, would be absurd. I could get into patriarchal conditioning as one form of hierarchy, but I'll just leave you to notice who are primarily doing these bad things, to whom.
I hate the breadth of history being reduced to Nazi analogies and nothing else, I'm sure you could slot in your own and reflect and maybe that's useful to do if it resonates more, but I'll use another: would you expect Jewish people at the time of Jacob Frank in 18th century Poland to flawlessly turn the other cheek as outbreaks of Anti-Semitic violence and dispossession increased? They didn't, they were reduced, by their internal political strife and the Christian majority's divide and rule, into factions turning brutally on one another for their own survival.
If you are tempted to object that the situation for Gazans can't have been that bad, again, we have the luxury of distance, we don't have to live it, again, it's a lack of grasping the history yet. If a part of history, and the people in it, are really understood as real by someone, it's usually clear by how they respond to it.
I was very shocked that you would respond to the critical poster by telling them to donate, as though the suggestion was somehow insulting. Are you aware that the issue has very widespread public support, and many will have donated as simply a matter of course? The issue isn't a lack of available aid, including that obtained through donations, it's Israel not allowing it in.
I think, perhaps thanks to the misleading statements of other governments, you may not realise that Germany has been so out of step from the perspective of public opinion in many other countries. From what I hear, incl. of German news filtered through French, it seems that, even with the flaws in our media reporting, especially early on, Germans were simply (deliberately) exposed to drastically less news about the plight of Palestinians. Less historical explanations too? Besides people here thinking nothing of donating, other actions aren't unusual, concern for Palestinians has been a notable cause across generations, especially on the traditional left. My mum, in her 20s so fifty years ago, has been to Israel and seen the discrimination against Palestinians, and her friend, ordinary working class, saved and went back and forth to do activism as much as she could. It's normal, and not to be willing to engage and take any actions to help, donations, writing to MPs, voting decisions (none of my family would vote for Starmer over Gaza), is what is bizarre. I have a protest today I hope I'll be feeling up to (disability, health issues) - with that said, I should have another go at getting back to sleep. Goodnight, I hope you can consider what I've said. 🌙
Biersteak@reddit
So Palestinians are like Haitian slaves and not accountable for their actions but „the evil Zionists“ were during the civil war phase and the war of independence against five Arab armies even though the majority of them also were stateless refugees, many just barely having avoided a industrial scale genocide in Europe or several massacre by local Arabs?
Not to destroy your worldview here, i certainly won’t given how adamant you sound on the matter, but Palestinians in Area A of the Westbank are completely autonomous besides not being free to build a official army, which doesn’t mean they don’t have weapons and soldiers anyways, and Gaza was the same besides a blockade held up by Israel and Egypt for a history of Gazans trying to smuggle heavy weaponry into the Strip and then firing at Israel.
And desperate people might fall back to enormous violence in the face of destruction but never in history did one side in such a situation completely disregard any solution offered to them as the Palestinian leadership did again and again. There is a dissonance in that Palestinians are somehow this absolutely desperate people, beaten down, killed, held as lesser human beings and therefore having no other way to express their trauma but kill Jews wherever they can find them but the leaders of these people also straight up refusing every diplomatic step until 1993, when the PLO made a first attempt by recognizing Israel and no longer calling for its complete annihilation.
Not to ridicule your mothers memory or anything but as you say, that was apparently fifty years ago, it isn’t the 70s anymore, this isn’t Israel prior to the First Intifada.
I have been to Israel several times aswell and not that long ago and i haven‘t witnessed any discrimination against Israeli Arabs at all, well outside of the ordinary you would see anywhere else in a multicultural country that is. So maybe they all behaved just for me, it was just one of those times when there wasn’t much agitation going around on either extreme side or things really get better between Sabras and Palestinians in Israel proper over the last decades, hell, i talked to friends after Oct7th who are living in Israel and they told me that they all did try to avoid eachother for a couple days in case either side starts killing but then nothing really happened and they all started to live there lives together again. I think if something like that happened fifty years ago there would have been bodies strung up at the streets, at the very least in Jerusalem.
Either way, one shouldn’t absolve Palestinians as a whole from all agency, it easily leads to bigotry of low expectations and they really are worth more than that in my opinion.
I hope you had a good night‘s sleep and i wish you all the best for your protest!
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
You don’t get “double hate” for this stance because you don’t in any way oppose the mass murder of civilians. All you do and have done to date is blindly defend Israel, excuses atrocities, and repeated pro-Israel lies and debunked propaganda about the famine.

I can also see how a local would ally with Israel to weaken Hamas and get resources or intel but then turn around and hijack a truck to gain a bargaining chip without Israel knowing. It’s not like they are somehow loyal to Israel, it’s a opportunistic alliance at best i woud assume
pimmen89@reddit
I could imagine even more things than that, that’s why I try to listen to people who are actually there instead of wildly speculate.
Biersteak@reddit
But then you should also consider personal bias of these people. For example the case of that poor child Mohammad Al-Motawaq, when it took ages for anyone to mention that he sadly had a genetical medical condition or Marah Abu Zuhri who suffered leukaemia and not a single medical staff or journalist cared to mention this fact.
Both cases, as horrible and regrettable as they are, being shamelessly used to propogate a wrong picture of complete famine all across of Gaza, giving ammunition to those people who would gladly deny there being any food-shortage at all whrn there definitely is.
The whole conflict has become such a disgusting jerk-off competition between the most adament defenders of both sides who cheer everything on their „team“ does without sny reflection and scream down anything the other „team“ is doing. And in the end its the civilians who will keep on suffering because neither of those gives a fuck about Palestinians at all they just want to hate the other side
pimmen89@reddit
I do, and even with the personal biases the government of Israel, especially the IDF, has the absolute worst track record. The lies of Hamas command centers under hospitals to justify bombing sick civilians is so crazy that it kind of burns all your credibility, and that’s just some of the lies to justify genocide. You have the lies to cover up executions of ambulance personel, lies to cover up snipets shooting children, lies about some camera on a hospital needing a double tap attack, and more. Either one of them are so brazen that they burn all credibility, and Israel has told so many of them.
Biersteak@reddit
You mean the strike that killed Mohammed Sinwar, who was in a tunnel within the grounds of the European Hospital in Chan Yunis? Or do you mean any other tunnel system under one of the hospitals?
You mean the attack of the aid workers on the early morning of March 23th when they drove into a active combat zone unannounced and caught fire from the IDF squad positioned there? (I actually have such a good summary on that event, it’s mindblowing how lack of communication can end in unnecessary bloodshed so quickly)
I don’t know what sniper incident you are referring to though, so i would be happy to get a link to that so i can read up on that tomorrow morning.
Yeah i heard about that air strike on a hospital abd then a second strike on alledged journalists (and maybe medical workers iirc) positioned at the stair case. Haven‘t looked up into that case much as of now but i did see that the IDF already stated that the second hit shouldn‘t have happened and they investigate it, for whatever that is worth is to be seen
pimmen89@reddit
The strike of al-Shifa would be the most famous one, where they published a poorly made video of some guns they’d stashed in a basement to justify.
The IDF knew they were working in the area, the ambulance was clearly marked as such abd even had its bluelights on. That’s the one the IDF blasted and lied about not being marked as an ambulance until video showed that it was a lie. I don’t understand why you omit all of the details and believe the IDF when they say that they showed up unannounced.
Multiple doctors provide testimony and documents of children injured by or killed by snipets.
Why do you put any weight into the IDF saying the second strike shouldn’t have happened? Why even believe that the first strike was justified? It’s the lying IDF, why do you believe anything they say?
Nileghi@reddit
The most common answer is "We don't know" because the gangs dont announce their affiliation. Theyre masked bandits.
Could be anyone
Big_Red_Machine_1917@reddit
Anyone with critical thinking knows that those gangs are most likely on Israel's payroll.
Nileghi@reddit
why? Explain your criticial thinking genius. Outside of Israel Bad.
Why would gangs that loot aid would be bought by Israel, when Hamas, who desperately needs to control the aid as 50% of 1 billion $ budget in 2024 comes from reselling humanitarian aid to Gazans, would need it instead?
Big_Red_Machine_1917@reddit
Israel indeed bad.
Gangs stealing aid means less gets the general population, meaning they die. Israel wants that, so it has every reason to support it.

Lying by omission, Zio? Al-Shabab, a gang funded and armed by Azrael is the one looting the aid to help Znazis.
Speak the truth, just once in your life. It will make you feel better.
OptimisticRealist__@reddit
Oh wow, a lot of buzzwords and empty claims. So while i ask you to return the favor to provide proof for your claims, in the meaintime here:
https://app.un2720.org/tracking/intercepted
This is the tracking app for all aid entering Gaza ad per the UN. Note: how they decidedly dont say whether palestinians or hamas steals this aid.
So at best youre just intellectually dishonest bc you know better, at worst youre just blindly firing off your theories you picked up somewhere on tiktok and didnt bother fact checking. Both are sinister, on is more shameful than the other tho.
HourEast5496@reddit
Meh! You Zios are known for projection and lies, so here you're, again.
You're lying by omission again, but you already know that, and I believe you get paid like 15 cents per lie.
For you, you're just a dishonest person. I can't accuse you of intelligence, or you wouldn't have been a Znazi shill.
This rhetoric won't work as TikTok has Znazis of Azrael as content and policy controllers, so find a new tantrum now.
You forgot to swipe your antisemitism card today.
iordseyton@reddit
Yeah, i think both sides should be pissed about that line from their stats
Intercepted Either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully armed actors, during transit in Gaza
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
This is utter BS, if course. It’s not being stolen, it’s just frequently intercepted by hungry people and offloaded early.
OptimisticRealist__@reddit
What a pathetic lie. Offloaded early... after being forced to do so. You intentionally make it seem as if this is an intentional decision by the aid networks, when this data very clearly spells out that the aid is being stolen and never reaches its intended destination.
So whether you like it or not, i quite frankly couldnt care less if it upsets you bc it doesnt fit your preferred narrative, it doesnt change the fact. Now you can do your mental gymnastics to rationalise it, be my guest. But the way you doubting official data shows, youre a disingenuous commentator
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
So who is the aid being stolen by? Hungry Palestinians not aligned to any terrorist group?
amphibia__enjoyer@reddit
Because Israel caused a total breakdown of civil society, akin to Cambodia in the 70s, by destroying all governing institutions, medical care services etc. Desperate starving people will steal, gangs will try to steal, since aid distribution points have been turned into squid-game-esque death traps. They razed large amounts of agricultural land and started shooting fishermen, so producing their own food is extremely difficult for Gazans. What you brought up is a non-sequitur, even if shit gets stolen, that is proof that more aid needs to go in. The IDF is even getting in on stealing from the trucks, according to the USAID investigation. Some people, like you, are either contrarians or cheer on genocide, so they need to chime in with this kind of non-sequitur. But the catastrophe in Gaza is intentionally engineered, a sign of the depravity humans are capable of. To create hell on earth, because they have deemed those suffering disposable.
OptimisticRealist__@reddit
You do know that this UN data includes USaid, right? Also, USaid only audited USaid deliveries. So for all your faux outrage and your desperation to blame everything on Israel, maybe save that energy for, you know, the literal terrorist organisation that started this war to begin with, who still holds civilians hostage and who still refuses to surrender. Starvation in a warzone can hardly be a surprising byproduct of war to anyone here. So this data clearly shows that the majority of the aid that is being sent never reaches the people its supposed to reach
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
This is pathetic. All you have is blind belief in the good intentions of Israel and the US.
pimmen89@reddit
Yes, stolen by gangs funded by Israel.
StrokeWilson@reddit
Because it doesnt matter. Israel is still not letting enough aid in, including baby formula btw. If it did let these necessities come in like normal people with conscience would, the stealing wouldn’t be an issue would it?
Shouldn’t really need to be explained to an adult so either your IQ follows room temperature or you’re a zionist apologist. I hope it’s the former
jdorm111@reddit
"The idea is to kill as many Palestinians as possible while pretending you don’t mean to."
Lmao you're just making this up. Also, massive amounts of food are being led into Gaza. Distribution is the problem, not entry.
PartySr@reddit
6.000 trucks. That's not enough, not even close.
Hasbara trolls sure love to lie and accuse others of lying.
jdorm111@reddit
You're forgetting the GHF mate.
Longjumping-Jello459@reddit
Bruv in Gaza they went from hundreds of distribution sites to like 6 with some of the population having to cross no-go zones to try to get food.
jdorm111@reddit
Moving the goalposts. In my original comment I did indeed say that distribution is the problem. Try to read.
Longjumping-Jello459@reddit
Israel and the GHF are part of the issue when it comes to distribution granted not the only issue, but when you starve people they'll jump on the back of a truck to get something even while it's moving.
Em3107@reddit
More than 1 ton of food has gone in per person. This is more food than any army has ever supplied to civilians of the other faction.
Why did the ICP change the criteria to call this a famine??
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
This is a lie. You are taking the total for aid and pretending it is all food. Much of the aid by weight is fuel and medicine. You can’t eat fuel but you need it to cook the food.
Em3107@reddit
Answer my question.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Why are you lying?
Em3107@reddit
Did the ICP not change the criteria?
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Two days later you have nothing? Does that mean you knew you were lying?
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Prove they did.
HourEast5496@reddit
Lying runs blood deep in Zios, counting the entire truck's weight and presenting it as edible, nourishing food when these organizations, such as Gaza Holocaust Foundations, don't deny the claim that good being given to Gazans is 0.02% of the daily need and that too is food with mostly starch and carbs, no protein or daily needed minerals.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
What he is doing is taking the total amount of aid, including fuel and medicine, combining it all and then pretending it’s all food.
Additionally, they are pretending that food can’t spoil or be wasted. Which is absurd. Accidents happen, spills happen, and food won’t keep indefinitely. It gets bugs in it or goes off.
Fundamentally? The person you are arguing with is not just lying, they are frankly evil.
HourEast5496@reddit
I 100% agree with you.
NuggetoO@reddit
Aid agencies and COGAT report the cargo weight only, not the vehicle. When weights aren’t listed, researchers use averages like 15–30 tons depending on cargo type, but again that’s the food inside, not the truck itself.
And of course it’s mostly carbs, rice, flour, lentils, that’s how famine relief has always worked. Carbs and starches keep people alive until there’s capacity for more variety.
HourEast5496@reddit
You lost me there bozo. No AID agencies are taking the Nazi-COGAT numbers seriously while they're actively starving Palestinians to death.
Learn a thing or two about famine and also that's now starvation worked in Ghettos and during Holocaust as well.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Of course, those weights include fuel and medicine, but let’s pretend those weights are purely food, because that way Israel can starve all of Gaza while you pretend they aren’t…
jdorm111@reddit
There is no intentional starvation. Even with the total blockade, there was enough food in the Strip to last till october. There is, however, a war going on involving multiple armed groups, fucked up distribution and all the actors trying to get in the action, meaning that some aid doesn't get to the right people and hunger ensues in some areas. Which obviously should be amended.
Of course Israel has responsibility here too. What I am saying is that blanket blaming of Israel, while serving feelings of moral superiority, doesn't begin to explain or understand the situation.
PartySr@reddit
Hasbara troll.
jdorm111@reddit
Where does your link talk about the GHF? It is not mentioned anywhere on the site, also not listed on the list of ngo's mentioned on the COGAT website you linked. Maybe I am overlooking. Here is the list: https://gaza-aid-data.gov.il/main/international-coordination/
Anyway, more tonnage arrived in Gaza in august than many months of 2024 with a massive spike in february that should have been enough to last until october. It is enough for everyone. Again, distribution is the problem.
PartySr@reddit
I always find it amusing how hasbara trolls keep asking for sources, but you never provide one even tho you make claims like that, and I told you that they mention GHF on their announcement, page 4.
GHF is also counted as a country, Israel.
Not my problem that you can't read.
Then tell your precious country to stop bombing children.
jdorm111@reddit
I am not Israeli. Talk about assumptions.
Thank you though for the correction. I appreciate things like that. However, it doesn't change the fact that there is enough food in Gaza, but that distribution is the problem.
PartySr@reddit
Even with stats provided by Israel itself, hasbara can't grasp the fact that there is not enough food provided, and yet again, without providing a single source.
It happens when school taught only how you are a victim, and everything else is inferior to you.
jdorm111@reddit
Again, I am not Israeli, you moron.
You can see, on your source, that there was a massive spike in februari. There was enough in the Strip during the blockade. See this conversation with expert Yannay Spitzer who lays out the situation:https://youtu.be/t6akDMYlHzM?si=NpNOSczuTtGROeyI
Of course there is hunger. But distribution is the issue.
PartySr@reddit
Yeah, the food from february lasted 6 months for them, despite the fact that everyone (countries and international organizations) have stated that there not enough aid provided.
Seriously. when you went to school, did they teach you anything else? Like reading? or teaching you what facts are?
I'm guessing you are one of those Israeli who live on wealthfare.
HourEast5496@reddit
No one is forgetting the Gaza Holocaust Foundation.
iordseyton@reddit
Im a little confused, maybe you can help- i set that pages time frame to August, and got the 5,700 trucks. And it also said 106.5 thousand tons of food drlivered.
But i didnt know context and went to look up what tonage of food 2million people needed and got to the wpf site which asserts 62,000 metric tons, or 68,000 us tons per month is nescessary- which makes it sounds like an extra 50% over the nescessary amount is being distributed?
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
The web site linked to says Israel has delivered 132 million means through the GHF. Assuming that this is since May 26 then the number of meals required to feed Palestinians was over 640 million meals you are about 500 million meals short. Knowing that, how can you pretend Israel isn’t starving Palestinians in Gaza? Do you really think all other aid combined comes to 500 million meals?
I’d also like to draw attention to the IDF’s attempted bait and switch. They talk about food in one sentence and then swap to aid and trucks in another. But food is not 100% of the aid coming in. There’s also fuel and medicine. So the amount of food coming in is way way less than that required to stave off a famine.
IAMADon@reddit
Except when they said the aid is only being distributed so they can maintain the killing uninterrupted.
jdorm111@reddit
What smotrich is saying is clearly not what is happening on the ground.
IAMADon@reddit
I doubt you can see the ground in Gaza from "the Netherlands" at all.
Do you assume the Finance Minister of any other country blatantly lies in their statements? Is Netanyahu lying, too? Or are you just showing your antisemitism?
jdorm111@reddit
Well, that goes for you too of course. You're even further away. Just posting quotes by a controversial minister who is not even in the war cabinet is not really an argument. I'll leave it at that.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
So you will ignore all the evidence ghat says what you are stating is completely wrong? Good job.
saoirsedonciaran@reddit
Please don't pretend that this is not the case when they are explicitly saying this over and over again and deliberately targeting civilians every single day.
Please stop defending the depravity of the apartheid regime.
jdorm111@reddit
They have never said the goal is to kill as many palestinians as possible while pretending they dont mean to. It also doesn't make sense. The rate of killing doesn't even exceed the birthrate in Gaza.
Please try to use your brain.
saoirsedonciaran@reddit
Haha you are a racist hasbara troll. Wise up.
It does exceed the birth rate sure... but only when you're looking at a scale over multiple decades 🤣
Do not try and fool is with this zionist genocidal bullshit.
The death toll has consistently exceeded the birth rate over the past two years of genocidal slaughter.
Who do you think this nonsense works on?
jdorm111@reddit
No. It also doesn't exceed the birtb rate in the current war. 61.000 dead, Hamas included but around 130 babies are born daily in the strip. Do the math.
https://www.savethechildren.net/news/about-130-children-born-daily-gaza-amid-total-siege-aid-and-goods
Also, the total population of Gaza has barely gone done, apart from the around 100.000 dual pasport holders and richer Gazans who managed to get out.
saoirsedonciaran@reddit
It's incredible that you think you're fooling anyone here.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Do you have any proof that there are still 130 babies being born every day? And that the intent mortality rate during Israel’s genocide hasn’t gone up?
Lazy hasbara, with the added bonus of someone delighted with infanticide…

Unable_Duck9588@reddit
You’re one of the people defending this genocide for almost 2 years.
Infamous would be a better term.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
Hilarious. “Distribution is the problem.” That must be true given how many deliveries Israel has bombed… Israel definitely thinks distributing food is a problem…
jdorm111@reddit
Hiow many deliveries has Israel bombed in the last year and a half?
HourEast5496@reddit
383 according to UN, since 2023. Now go on lie some more, Zio.
jdorm111@reddit
You're talking out of your ass. 383 is the worldly total of aid workere killed. Just under half of those in Gaza.
That is something completely different from aid deliveries being bombed you liar.
SpontaneousFlame@reddit
So it’s “only” 190 aid workers killed in Gaza alone in less than two years? And only being responsible for half the world’s aid death toll makes Israel innocent of all wrong doing and worthy of defending? Wow, the bar is low.
Israel has been deliberately preventing food from entering Gaza. It started in the first day after the October 7 attack and has continued to this day, with Israel presenting various excuses such as “trucks were too full” or “this food has been declared prohibited on this day” to stop the food getting through.
To deliberately starve Palestinians.
It’s kind of funny that you won’t believe Israelis when they say in Hebrew that they want to deliberately starve Palestine’s , but you will believe them when they say in English that they don’t really. And their actions speak quite clearly as to intent, because there is quite a lot of time elapsed where food isn’t let in or isn’t allowed to be distributed. And it’s Israel’s deliberate policy.
mnmkdc@reddit
Because Israel refuses to guarantee the safety of aid deliveries. They stopped doing that when they started pushing the GHF. Massacres at GHF sites make people afraid to go and more likely to attempt to loot the unsecured UN-based aid trucks. There’s no way to take the blame away from Israel here.
