Ok, that's a new low.

I thought the sickest thing I'd encountered this week was the guy asking for my number "for the next round" of device attacks, but no, this wins.

It is difficult to see how people can say something as awful as that without falling into self- shame and regret.

When people celebrate this kind of shit, this is what becomes socially acceptable to say to people in the street.

Exactly. I'm very sorry that that happened to you.

That’s a new low all its own. I hope you reported it too.

I am so ashamed our leaders are not even trying to stop this genocide.

God that is sick I'm so sorry, hope you got his number to report him for hate crime

I can barely believe this one.

Boat tours off the coast of Gaza to watch it being bombed.

Young Israeli children and families on the boat, including Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the Knesset.

Absolutely despicable! I can't image how people can celebrate and gain enjoyment from the deaths of others like this.

This has to be one of the most warped psychotic things I've seen. Back to the middle ages with them where they belong. What lesson are they teaching their children. Only one I can see is hate.

EasterIssland · 22/09/2024 07:42

I saw it yesterday in twitter and it’s now as well in Spanish news as well

im losing hope to be honest of reaching peace soon with this and the last few polls

te The Harbu Darbu hit song

The singers sing ….“Nasrallah”
“Every dog’s day will come” …. And repeat it with different names of people Israel has assassinated.

Our very old English expression, “Every dog has his day” means something very different from what these complacent “dog” - killing- rejoicers apparently think.

Their incantation could mean that the people they want to kill will not always be the underdog.

It is difficult to not just give up hope.
@EasterIssland
The UN agency also exposed the sad cases of two crucial operations to save the lives of families with children trapped under the rubble. The first mission, in the town of Hamad, was hindered by Israeli forces for three consecutive days, despite initial indications that there were survivors, including children.

It is unbearable to think of those children left to die like that ( as so many have been). It is the nightmare of nightmares.

Silence1 · 21/09/2024 14:30

That song is sickening. Warmongering. I wish those singers could live and experience Gaza right now. The comments I read on Israeli press websites by some Israelis are so bloody depressing and horrifying.
I haven't had a chance to catch up with everything on the thread and I can't believe the things I read. I have no belief in the US anymore. I think Blinken just says what he thinks the World wants to hear. Very empty platitudes

So sorry if this has been posted before. It's from the Norwegian Refugee Council and 14 other aid organizations Israel’s siege now blocks 83% of food aid reaching Gaza, new data reveals | NRC

I cannot watch the news anymore as the reporting from Gaza upsets me so much. It is incomprehensible to me.

Apologies as the link is in Spanish but can’t see it in the English version of the UN website
the news is longer but I’ve translated parts of it

Israel denies about 50% of humanitarian operations

The Israeli military has imposed increasingly unpredictable and restrictive time windows for humanitarian movements through the two checkpoints between the south and north of the Strip.

As an example, he cited that on August 24, a protective barrier at the checkpoint, supposedly broken, caused a mission to be blocked for four hours. The repair of the barrier resulted in the non-delivery of 10,000 vaccines, 58 loads of medicines, including cold chain items and vital medical supplies for pregnant women, as well as 24,000 liters of fuel.

The UN agency also exposed the sad cases of two crucial operations to save the lives of families with children trapped under the rubble. The first mission, in the town of Hamad, was hindered by Israeli forces for three consecutive days, despite initial indications that there were survivors, including children. The second mission, in Rafah, was similarly hampered. “When rescue teams were finally allowed to reach the scene, no survivors were found,” the Office noted. Likewise, a subsequent operation in Rafah aimed at recovering the remains of 30 people to give them a dignified burial was denied, he added.

The violence faced by humanitarian workers at checkpoints is another of the serious concerns of the UN Office, which recalled the multiple incidents of shooting at humanitarian convoys when they approached checkpoints, despite that the vehicles were clearly marked and had received prior confirmation from Israeli forces.

At least one Israeli cartoonist has portrayed Palestinians as cockroaches with no consequences.

Warning distressing comic, I have attach a screen shot from last year of a comic that X refused to delete so readers desperately added a “context” note…

That cockroach quite clearly has the face of Yahya Sinwar wearing a green Hamas headband. I don't agree with the use of this imagery in any context but it's misleading to say the cartoon was dehumanising Palestinian people as a whole when it's so obviously referring to the IDF defeating Sinwar/Hamas, albeit presented in a tasteless and offensive manner.

Having seen people make cartoons, social media jokes, even recipes to express their joy at the deaths of my friends and colleagues and others has made this already hellish situation far harder. That social media sites and forums allow such celebrations to be shared unchecked is disgusting.

I feel revulsion and loathing at not just that humans can be so full of hate and callousness but because their excrable and odious spoutings have gone completely unchecked and feebly contested.

My only hope is that at least by being so brazenly genocidal, it is adding to a mound of incontestable evidence that will bring about a reckoning. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Dulra · 20/09/2024 15:28

LoremIpsumCici · 20/09/2024 14:58

It’s clear dehumanisation has been going on for a long time and it’s not just a few top Israeli officials, it’s trickled down into the cartoons and even the #1 song in the country.

The “Harbu Darbu”, a pro-war song, in Israel late last year. The lyrics compared Palestinians & celebrity supporters to dogs and rats and utilised the same genocidal Amalek comparison invoked by Netanyahu. Videos of dancing and singing to the song became a viral trend among Israelis.

(The YouTube video is a news report on the song)

It is so depressing to think this would get written, recorded, released, played and purchased with no one at any point thinking hold on this isn't ok.

Dehumanising people is part of genocide. Just like the Rwanda genocide when the Tutsis were referred to as "cockroaches".

At least one Israeli cartoonist has portrayed Palestinians as cockroaches with no consequences.
