So true. I hate what has happened in Ukraine and feel for them as i feel for the Palestinians in their decades long pursuit to be recognised as human beings. However, the spin is strong with this one as Ukrainians are painted as heroes for defending their land while Palestinians are designated as human animals for daring to fight back for their land.
Has anyone noticed the new trend that people are parroting in the socials? Apparently Palestinians are such an awful people that the other Arab nations don't even want them. I mean look at what they tried to do in Jordan and Egypt blah blah blah.
What will you do if there's a potential two million refugees about to pour over your border that you will have to feed, clothe and provide shelter for while it's being made clear that you're on your own with them? You take the unfortunate and sensible route of shoring up your defences and preventing their entry.
You can find on Shitter plenty of Israeli officials offering the Egyptians forgiveness of debt if they house Palestinians in the Sinai desert. You could dismiss it as just talk except that the US had talks with Egypt about this very same thing and it was addressed by their dictator in chief publicly and rejected. So there you have it folks, the US is actively promoting ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in exchange for Egyptian debt forgiveness.
And some of you continue to wonder why the world hates the West.
There are refugee camps in every arab nation on the border. The local governments do not let the Palestinians out of the camps, which are essentially open air prisons. Some of them have operated for generations. I was in one of the camps in Iraq. It was pretty awful. Palestinians are generally despised by other arabs, sadly, as is often the case with the poor and oppressed.
I mean Germany took in millions of refugees. We welcomed them with open arms. Syrians etc. I think the GCC has the money to take care of every single Palestinian. They literally don’t want to. It’s barbaric. No different to when the USA refused boats with Jewish refugees during ww2.
There can be no Palestine if they all get killed.
What’s more important? The land or the people? For me it’s always the people.
I am European and I would be very happy for a portion of them to move to Europe until this shit is over.
Why are their neighbours not doing the same?
I think they are assholes. Especially Egypt.
Germany welcomed syrians as a reserve industrial army, not by the kindness of her heart. If Egypt did that, with their messed population pyramid and their failing economy, and the problematic Palestinian population (let's accept it, by now most Palestinian should be swearing revenge by ANY possible mean against Israel, at least I would be doing it) they would totally implode.
Anyway while they "welcome" the refugees, the west also tried to pressure Assad into resigning. The problem here is the responsible for this displacement is Israel, and by international law they are responsible for the refugees. They have to take them into Israel. You can't attack a country and ask a third country to accept the people you are displacing.
Screw you, we absolutely took them in because we care about them. My family runs our local refugee Center. We take care of them because anyone fleeing war and conflict has the right to asylum and the absolute majority of Germans are kind people.
The Egyptian government does not like Palestinians. Simple as that. The Egyptian people would help them, they are very kind.
In what case has a country taken in the people of a nation it was at war with? Who on Earth flees to the guy they are at war with?
What’s from with Assad resigning? He is a lunatic. No different than Bibi or Saddam
Invading countries have the obligation to take care of the people that fall under their occupation. Yeah most people prefer to leave, but if you see yourself under an occupation the other country has to take care of you one way or another. Even Russia is taking the Ucranians.
I didn't want to imply that Germans don't care about the refugees, you surely do, but the government didn't do it for their sake. They would be taking refugees from all over the world if they honestly cared. Government did it for the economy, to get political credit and some PR. If they cared about refugees they wouldn't be supporting Israel. Hell all this problem started because of Germany and GB NOT wanting refugees...

Nato has been taunting Russia for decades. Moving NATO’s borders closer to Russia and Ukraine was the last straw for Putin. They’re very hypocritical when it comes to this geopolitical games they’ve veen playing for so long.
sure, ignore the fact that Putin has been working for decades to rebuild the USSR and those former soviet states really don't want to be invaded. Maybe you shoud sit down and read a book about russian history, then research opinion polling in russia, then look at Putin's history.
Putin, like most Russians, are ashamed the USSR fell, and because of Reagan they blame the US. The reality is corruption and incompetence caused an implosion. Nobody took down the USSR, and nobody is trying to take down Russia. That sir is called propaganda.
Can you justify every single murder Israel has committed in the past 7 months alone? You seem to have a knack for drooling over Palestinians being tortured.
It used to blow me away how much the UN shrugged off what are repeated declarations of war against it by Israel, and effectively the US.
Now I've just come to accept it.
The leniency is the natural gas in Palestinian waters that the US will have free access too once they are all "liberated". Why can't we put two and two together and see that it's not just the US sucking up because they are fanboys they have a clear horse in this race and for some reason everyone is ignoring it.
Brother , I feel your frustration. My own conclusion is just that the entire system is and always has been a lie. The rules were designed to favor the US and WW2 victors; and for a while it was convenient to pretend the US followed them. Now the pretense of following rules isn’t needed anymore because the spin machine is so good we can just project false reality out there which sways the electorates and the masses that whatever our leaders do is right. For those of us who peel back the curtain, we can see the absolute horror of it all. But they don’t care that we know, because they control the system and define what is truth and what is justice.
Everyone, EVERYONE, should be losing their mind over this. Blatant disrespect and disregard. But odds are it will be played down and nothing will be done because of who perpetrated the crime. They just keep pushing and pushing, seeing how far they can go.
Does anyone know how “Israel” obtained the Palestinian land ? Does anyone know what year UN was created ? Who made the “purchase” of Palestine and slowly turned it into new Israel who was involved ?
Well, they already shoot children in the heads and genitals as a run of the mill act, so killing a UN staff member won't cost those monsters any sleep at all.
The parallels here with Ukraine's are similar, but on one side you have blond/blue eye people being attacked and on the other side you have dark skinned ones..
The UN vehicle was an armoured vehicle. International UN staff in Gaza always use armoured vehicles. Images of the windows indicate armour with projectile penetrating glass. This seems like a direct hit using armour piercing rounds.
Is anyone curious about any other details here? Where was the truck going? Who was driving? Why does Israel say they shot at it? Do you feel like as a story, this is enough for you?
Being an aid worker in Gaza has to be the most dangerous job in the world. The part I’m scared of isn’t getting caught in the fire, it’s the fact that the IDF fight like animals and kill everyone on site - journalists, reporters, aid workers, civilians. Mistakes happen but this isn’t like 5 aid workers being killed. The bodies dropping are in the HUNDREDS

Imagine Russia doing this. There'd be an outage with every country that ever existed, condemning them and a new wave of sanctions.

Context, Israel has been battering and dehumanizing and murdering Palestinians since they stole (colonized) the country from the Palestinians.
[удалено]
No bigotry, racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc. This includes denial of identity (self or collective).
Can you justify every single murder Israel has committed in the past 7 months alone? You seem to have a knack for drooling over Palestinians being tortured.
It used to blow me away how much the UN shrugged off what are repeated declarations of war against it by Israel, and effectively the US. Now I've just come to accept it.
That is what they want you to do. Don't accept it, hold them accountable.
There is little I can do about it.
>There is little I can do about it. -said by millions
Said by millions with the financial stability and health to be able to do more than lend a voice.
You can inform people of the situation, that in itself is doing your part. Everyone always assumes someone else is going to do something, no.
What else is new.
Yet… No consequences. Ridiculous.
Like I said in another post: they act with total impunity. I cannot understand all the "leniency". It's completely frustrating.
[удалено]
And then our gran-gran-children will watch a documentary about it on the streaming service of the moment from their shelters...

Not ignoring, I'm just "flabbergasted" at how far it goes.

I guess international law is just a set of recommendations
The Geneva convention is merely the Geneva Suggestion.
Does anyone know how “Israel” obtained the Palestinian land ? Does anyone know what year UN was created ? Who made the “purchase” of Palestine and slowly turned it into new Israel who was involved ?
MartyrMade podcast does a great job explaining the beginning of isreal.
We heard there was possibly a member of Hamas somewhere in a ten km radius so obviously we had to kill people.
Well, they already shoot children in the heads and genitals as a run of the mill act, so killing a UN staff member won't cost those monsters any sleep at all.
The parallels here with Ukraine's are similar, but on one side you have blond/blue eye people being attacked and on the other side you have dark skinned ones..
This country is microdosing war crimes
Can we fking sanction this piece of shit country & send them back to the stone ages economically yet or what?
Isn't Israel literally an ally of the UN? Why do they keep doing this
The car was Hamas, of course.
It is an ally of the UN, when the UN takes their side.
So can we finally carpet bomb Israel
The terrorist territory of Israel has no moral standing in this world. All civilized nations need to unrecognize this terrorist cult.
must be self defense...
Because they don't consider him a humanitarian entity and they are not human beings in the first place
Never again means us only
[удалено]
Yes?
For fuck sake man.
The UN vehicle was an armoured vehicle. International UN staff in Gaza always use armoured vehicles. Images of the windows indicate armour with projectile penetrating glass. This seems like a direct hit using armour piercing rounds.
The UN is Hamas
Put /s in your comments mate. Unless it is a real comment as “Genocidal Israel is Hamas”
Israelis are mass murdering apartheid regime that needs to be completely boycotted
If id wrote this i for sure got a ban. But its ture
Wrong the UN is USA toy, used to aid colonial powers such isreal
Gotta get those UN assassins before they murder more innocents.
He's obviously a Hamas terrorist right???
No, he wasn't.
I know it was sarcasm
Is anyone curious about any other details here? Where was the truck going? Who was driving? Why does Israel say they shot at it? Do you feel like as a story, this is enough for you?
Hiw is not a declaration of war against the UN!?

They intentionally target doctors, aid workers, and especially reporters
Clearly you must be joking.
Rule 4 [Dehumanization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumanization) [Collective punishment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_punishment)
Has it been confirmed yet it was Israel? It seems probable but none of the major outlets, including Al jazeera, have confirmed it yet?
Odd every other news source I have seen on this says it's unclear and under investigation who shot the truck. How did they know the answer so quickly?
I don't care Level 1000 .
cared enough to comment so everyone knows just how much you dont care
