I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.
EDIT: Outlet has edited headline since time of posting.
Ok, so that was horrifying that they treated it so lightly, but this headline seems slightly inaccurate.
It seems they were not blowing it up for a ‘gender reveal’, but instead were blowing it up otherwise and something in the building produced blue smoke, and they found the resemblence hilarious.
Al Jazeera must have updated/corrected it. The title of the post was the original headline.
That’s not a good look for Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera is always extremely anti Israel. The Arabic version even more so than the English one.
That’s like saying science is anti-conservative
You’d expect them to be factually accurate though.
Updating the article to provide more correct information as soon as it’s uncovered is part of that
Well, you can check it yourself. Go to Arabic Al Jazeera and use machine translation and compare it to the English version. Then compare the article to the same topic on the BBC and Times of Israel. Compare and contrast.
Al Jazeera is Qatari state media. There’s no press freedom in that authoritarian kingdom.
Yeah well you can check it yourself as well. I don’t know how any of your mental gymnastics relate to the dumb shit you said originally.
Why does ‘state media with no press freedom in an authoritarian kingdom’ only seem scary when it’s al jazeera’s and not BBC’s or Times of Israel’s?
You’d have to be an asshole not oppose country based on settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing
You’d have to be an asshole not oppose country based on settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing
…and yet, being anti-Israel was considered a far-right neo-Nazi position not that long ago. It became acceptable again from the start of the current flare up (the current fighting isn’t something new, it’s been going on and off for decades). Before that, anti-Israel meant anti-Jew meant obviously Nazi. It’s wild how when things change so many people will just quietly drop the old narrative and pretend it never existed. We’ve always been at war with Eurasia and all that.
The reality is that the US supports Israel, has for a long time and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It’s not because of being pro-Jew or wanting to ethnically cleanse Arabs, it’s because they’re our only real ally in the Middle East and thus we’ll remain safely on their good side unless and until we get a strategically more useful ally in the Middle East. Then keeping them happy becomes less important.
Jews have opposed Israel since before 1948. Its always been a progressive position since Hertzel
OK, that’s somewhat callous, but I think almost any nation’s soldiers would make that same joke.
Ethnic Genocide is now fully Normalized in Israel.
In some ways this is actually beyond Nazi Germany, were the actual perpetrators of the genocide did not make a public show of their murdering of the people they saw as untermenschen.
This kind of thing is a pretty good indication that there is far broader acceptance (glee, even) amongst the Israeli population for Genocide than there was amongst the German population in Nazi Germany.
I wonder what if nazi germany had access to social media, recommendation algorithms, bots, etc… influencing masses has never been this easy in history
From what I’ve heard the extreme racism is generalized in the Mainstream Press in Israel, so I’m not sure that it’s the Social Media that’s making Genocide along ethnic lines be more broadly accepted there than it was in Nazi Germany.
That said, the fables in Israel around “The Jewish People” and its identity with the Palestinians as “antagonists”, have been spun for far longer and the antagonism has been going on for far longer (since the creation of the state of Israel) than the ones in Nazi Germany with Jews as “antagonist”, so maybe the much longer time (about 70 years) during which Israelis have been indoctrinated about their own ethnic superiority and the “antagonism” of Palestinians in Israel compared to the length of the similar indoctrination of the population in Nazi Germany, is the main cause for the more broad acceptance of Genocide amongst the populus in Israel than in Nazi Germany.
If you’ve grown up hearing about how you’re part of a superior people (“God’s chosen people”) and Palestinians are The Enemy who hate you and want you dead, and your parents too grew up like that, you’re probably far, far, more likely to be an extreme racist that trully believes themselves to be inherently superior and that Palestinians as not really human like themselves - hence having zero empathy for the suffering of Palestinians and maybe even relishing in their suffering - than somebody who has only been exposed to similar shit for a decade or two.
that’s a weird way to spell “israeli soldiers commit a war crime”
Yet another one
Oh how I long for the sweet bitter taste of ironic onion.
But nope. Way to much actual meat and gristle in this story.
Fuck these people who keep thinking the suffering of others is good for internet engagement.Israeli soldiers blow up building in Gaza and laugh about ‘gender reveal’ ‘It’s a boy!’ Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves blowing up a building in Gaza while laughing that the blue smoke resembles a ‘gender reveal’.
Fuck Israel.
Please fix the title.
Fucking Animals
Fuck israël ans fuck IDF
what the fuck man
Aw! It’s Satan gray! No wait, its pure evil blue, its a trump!. Nah! If you look closely you’ll notice all the buildings belonged to poor defenseless people. So it’s probably a rich evil asshole!
This is nanking tier shit.
My Lai, except the thought police are already rolled out, and ready to prosecute/persecute anyone who complains.
Yo did the jews forget this same shit happened to them? Like multiple times?
Hello?
There is no such thing as a “Jew memory” shared by all Jews.
The individuals doing this shit certainly heard the stories as that stuff is constantly repeated and part of the national identity in Israel, but they didn’t feel the suffering and in fact most of them don’t even come from families which suffered in the Holocaust as most Israelis are not from families that came from Western Europe.
Even when people felt the horror by being on the other side, they need to actually be able to empathise with their victims to not want to inflict that same horror on them: in other words they need to not be sociopaths or psychopaths and to see those victims as fellow human beings. Notice how in Israel, just like in Nazi Germany, the targetted ethnicity are constantly dehumanized with extreme racist statements about them, to the point that Palestinians in Israel are called “human animals” similarly to how Jews in Nazi Germany were “untermenschen” (sub-humans).
With a population of people were 99.999% did not in fact suffer anything in the Holocaust (there is literally only a handful of people in Israel who were alive back then, living in Western Europe and who were caught by it), with an actual constitution stating the superiority of their race (literally “the chosen people”) and enshrining discriminatory treatment on race (the Israeli constitution says that only Jews can be Israeli Nationals), under constant extreme racist propaganda in most of the Press and in statements from politicians very literally dehumanizing the ethnicity they’re targetting (“human animals”) and with sociopaths and psychopaths not just part of the highest levels of government and the military but in general being given free reign to execute their most violent fantasies with no pushback as long as it’s against the “lesser” races, this kind of shit is not just unsurprising, it’s innevitable.
don’t mix up the Israeli people and the Israeli state
More than half the Israeli people actively support the state. There were more protestors against the rule change that would’ve stopped rape as being used against prisoners than there have been against the genocide.
The Israeli people, at the very least, are Nazi civilians. I’m sure there’s a few good ones in there. Hopefully they find a country to live in that doesn’t require genocide to function.
The Israeli people have either been supportive of the regime, or just too milktose to do anything about it.
We’re long past benefit of the doubt.
Not all Jews are Nazis but the whole state of Israel could be compared to fascist Germany. This is a neo liberal take the humanizes the oppressor. This is why I don’t bat a eye when the Palestinians went full on Nat Turner
And dont mix up Jews and Israelis and Zionists
Israel isnt Jewish. They’re Zionist.
The majority of Jews in the world have not forgotten and are anti-zionist
You will not receive an honest answer to this question on lemmy lmao.
It was just a question to the skies like WHY SKY DADDY, WHYYY
What do you mean exactly?
Hurt people hurt people.
aka intergenerational trauma
Yes. Which, to be clear, does not excuse what they are doing. It just partially explains how we got here.
Yep. We need to get those folks some free therapy.
Superstitious uneducated indoctrinated swine repeat history.
Man I must’ve really hit my head when I fell the other day because I thought that headline said Israeli soldiers blew up a building in Gaza as a gender reveal.
It sounds like Al Jazeera changed the headline to be a bit more honest.
This is a game for them isn’t it. Pushing buttons on missile systems and drone controllers to try and take down the most buildings and get the most points…
The ICC should go into Israel and try Nethanyahu.
