With the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians waiting for aid, we are forgetting the true victims.

This feels like it's meant to be a joke, but it's not.

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says the provision of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza endangers Israeli soldiers and must stop after more than 100 Palestinians were reported killed while trying to get aid in Gaza City.

“Today it was proven that the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza is not only madness while our hostages are held in the Strip … but also endangers IDF soldiers,” Ben-Gvir said, calling the deliveries “oxygen to Hamas”.

The incident is “another clear reason why we must stop transferring this aid”, he wrote on X.

Ben-Gvir also said Israel must “provide complete support to our heroic fighters operating in Gaza, who acted excellently against a Gazan mob that tried to harm them”.

It is crazy to starve people to procced calling them barbars for being desperate. But here they (the fasicst government) are, using this exact argument to justify a massacre.

This logic is absurd. We killed 100 people, therefore the aid has to stop, because it allows us to kill civilians.

Have you considered not killing civilians?

Remember the beginning of Black Hawk Down when the warlord's men machine gun the people trying to get bags of grain? And the Black Hawk crew couldn't engage?

Yeah, it's like that, except we're paying the warlord's army this time.

Top quality editorial here...

Editorial of what? There's no cite or anything. To me this is just some image somebody made and not reputable.

It's been on the news all day dude. At some point you have to actually pay attention.

As a professional victim I prefer to ignore everything until it's advantageous to me to know so.

Why won't somebody think of the feelings of the guards of the extermination camp???!

Why yes, because over 100 IDF IOF soldiers were massacred, right?... Right?

As we all know antisemitism is when something makes Zionists feel uncomfortable such as the truth.

Feeding starving kids is the most vile anti-semitic thing I can think of.

Can we start calling the Jews Ashkenazis just for the heck of it?

You can do whatever ignorant thing you want, but I'm guessing ethnic Jewish groups like the Sephardic Jews (originally from Iberia) and Beta Israel (originally from Ethiopia) would object on the grounds that it would be really fucking stupid.

Source? There's no chance this is real.

Post like this basically give the election to trump. Stop the madness.

Edit: Jesus fuck! Do I really need to write /s on this sub? A point of clarity for those who doubt. Biden has failed to use his political power to stop a heinous act. We can't always stop horrors everywhere, but here we can actively do something. Frankly, we should be delivering aid directly under the guidance on UNRA.

Ceasefire now. Free Palestine.

I almost feel like a dummy for falling for this cx I wouldn't have a few months ago, but lately I've seen a lot of liberals share this sentiment genuinely. The idea that any criticism of biden or things he supports is russian or chinese propaganda trying to get trump elected. It seems to have calmed down recently, but a few weeks ago I saw someone saying pro palestinian protestors were russian spies who should be shot

Does anyone think that trump would act any differently? That he would put a stop to any of this? He literally tear gassed protesters for a photo op.

I don't understand how that is some sort of salve for genocide. Am I suppose to feel better knowing that Biden and Trump enable genocide? Lesser of two evils doesn't mean we don't end up in an awful place.

I wasn't commenting on that. I was commenting on how someone said this gives trump a win. It doesn't, he would act the same way. They both have blood on their hands. Btw, I'm wondering when the holocaust pass that Israel gets expires? When does it become wrong again when they commit the very crimes that were perpetrated against their ancestors? Just wondering.

You gotta be kidding me!

All it takes is for one man, Joe Biden, to act differently in this one thing, to pretty much guarantee that Trump loses.

Yet instead of that one man stopping support for Fascists and their Genocide, we get endless parroting if this, frankly disgusting, propaganda that the "only way" is for millions of people to swallow their principles and humanitarianism and endorse a guy activelly supporting a Genocide.

Why should millions yield in their unwillingness to have mass murder activelly supported in their name and with their taxes all just so that one guy, one single guy, can continue using the resources he has been entrusted with by voters to activelly support mass murder?!

I don't understand this comment after my edit. It was sarcastic. Biden can and should stop funding and supplying Israel. I think the sooner he does so, the sooner he secures the youth vote, and relectuant progressive, and the Muslim American vote.

Did the edit not convey that?

What gives the election to trump is biden's inability to not support genocide. Trying to get people to be quiet about it only makes me wanna vote for him even less than I already do, since he's clearly the pro-genocide candidate

If you think the US stance torwards Israel would change just one bit under Trump, you are very mistaken.

He won't be better. But as a non american I can understand why someone would feel voting a genocide enabler is just impossible. Here in Germany it is a somewhat comparable situation (but at least I can give my vote for a minority party, that might actually get into parliament).
