I don't understand how an entire country can be full of so much hate. Did they forget the holocaust? Are they deniers? Do they not have empathy? Is it societal? What a stain on humanity.

Propaganda is a powerful drug

[–] lithiumground@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I also could not understand

Its a stark reminder that when you treat people like shit, they become shit. And I've no idea what the world can do differently to not turn Palestinians into the same scum.

❌ thoughts and prayers

It is a "monkey see, monkey do" syndrome. Or more correctly "slave syndrome". Meaning "slaves want to do what their masters were doing", "want to be a boss to do what his/hers boss is doing to them".

When someone is abused and survived there is big chance that they will became abusers if they can.

This is how humans really are, when no consequences we turn into animals

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 months ago

I refuse to believe that. humans are some of the most social, compassionate, and empathetic animals to ever exist. this is tribalism taken to its extreme, promoted by propaganda and an insular culture. theres a reason these far right groups seek to dehumanize their "enemies", and it's because if people they see them as human they wont do shit like this. israel conditions its people to see others this way, intentionally. it isn't human nature left to its own devices at all.

While this will almost certainly go unpunished, the IOF sentenced another two of its invaders to 30 days of military detention for being filmed while sledgehammering a statue of Jesus. This is because the IOF knows Christian Zionists care more about a plaster idol than they do about living, breathing Palestinians.

Remind me again why it's wrong to call Israelis violent pigs?

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pigs are actually cool. Israeli soldiers are violent, terrible humans.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago

Ew, humans can be so vile

[–] tresspass@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Imagine peeing on any corpse. I dont think I could pee at all if a corpse was even in the vaccinity.

Trump after he’s Ghaddafi’d? Sure. And that’s coming from someone who thinks public toilets are stressful.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Look at Thatcher's grave, UK's first public gender neutral toilet

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That and Jean Marie Le Pen

Would have been really funny if they had buried an ultranationalist French bigot in the UK 😄

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think it’s extremely telling that they buried him somewhere in the middle of nowhere and are not publicizing where it is.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that grave would have been a popular urinal/dance floor combo otherwise 😁

[–] stretch2m@infosec.pub 6 points 3 months ago

They could charge admission and clear up this fucking national debt.

[–] tresspass@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Fair enough lmao

It's on israeli citizens to distance themselves from these feral creatures to avoid blanket hatred, that, on their behalf, would unevitably hurt jewish people worldwide. A healthy israeli would be ashamed of their guys doing that, and bombings, and land capture, and whatever else. But there are a lot of people even on Fediverse who can whatabout it out and go with their day.

[–] sen@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 months ago

Until I meet a healthy Israeli I'm gonna default to not being offended by statements like "Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth for their crimes."

I'm not an anti-Semite, but I sure as fucking shit am anti-israel now.

Disgusting vermin. How can someone be so cruel

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Nuke israel. Destroy the zionists.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 11 points 3 months ago

That is hatred and dehumanization and ideological fanaticism a little like, well, you know who.

That's awful but at this point does anyone really doubt that this is something the IDF would do? I assume they're posting this kind of video themselves and want people to see it, does something so disrespectful to the victims really need to be spread around further?

Yes, people needs to see that their morality

This argument doesn't work for say videos of sexual abuse, I feel like there has to be some line and maybe this crosses it
