I was wondering when the next batch will come.In related news, the ethnic cleansing marches on.

This is heartbreaking. All I see here are good people, in the truest sense.

The isreali government is just fucking awful. Why does the world allow them to get away with these attrocities to humanity? Seriously why? Look at the language the media uses to downplay what is going on. Not enough condemnation going on. Its brutal and barbaric, they have no excuses. These israeli soldiers dont have a mind of their own? Bunch of murderers, ethnic cleansing is a hobby now...
It has come to my attention that the mainstream media has taken thr israeli narrative of the army "looking into this(mistake)" instead of calling the atrocity as it is, a warcrime. This just shows how the media works. There is no such thing as independent coverage in the stuff we get served. It all comes from the same source. The same narrative literally plastered everywhere for the big news outlets.
This is what happens when your goal is to ethnically cleanse a region in the information age where everyone has a camera. If Israel swarmed the region and murdered indiscriminately they would lose their victim status, so instead they kill some civilians, wait for the international community to forget, kill some more civilians, wait for the international community to forget again...
So unfortunate that this conflict has gone on for so long that so many innocent people are caught in the crossfire.
Especially those who are trying to help others
The US spoke loud and clear.This act needs to be condemned by every civilized country in the world and beyond.
Yes, that includes the United States. We should have enough guts to criticize Israel when they fuck up on this level.
Describing the situation as a 'conflict' with people 'caught in the middle' is a mischaracterization of the situation, as it implies aggressive actions from 'both sides'. This is not a symmetrical conflict between equal sides - it's the US-backed Israeli government's subjugation and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.So unfortunate that this conflict has gone on for so long that so many innocent people are caught in the crossfire.

well said, i always get angry at people who call it a conflict and blame both sides. this is a one-sided genocide. the palestinians have no power or leverage. resistance from them should be celebrated, not condemned.Describing the situation as a 'conflict' with people 'caught in the middle' is a mischaracterization of the situation, as it implies aggressive actions from 'both sides'.

I do think the language used is important because when Palestinians went to the fence to protest the Embassy moving to Jerusalem and were murdered by Israeli forces, those protesters weren't part of some 'conflict' either. It's truly unfortunate that this nurse was also murdered by Israeli forces, but she is one of hundreds of blameless Palestinians that have been killed, and tens of thousands injured, in the last month alone. This has been going on for years.
Until the US stops supporting Israel, nothing will be done about this internationally. As Israel has bipartisan support within the US, that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
of course the nazi analogy is highly charged. That's the point of making it imo. the current Israeli regime and the us and other nations supporting it are literally wiping out a race of people
How can anyone look at photos of that woman dying and think "God forbid I hurt the feelings of her murderer!". Shame on the people in power who continue to enable this atrocity. You were supposed to be better.
The indoctrination and manipulation starts early. We're all victims one way or another.It's just proof that the world has gone to shit. Good is bad, bad is good. Palestinians are dying, innocents are getting slaughtered and people would rather hide behind empty rhetorics or bury their heads to pretend this genocide isn't happening.

It will forever be amazing to me how Israel has control over the West.
This is disgusting.
Willingly. I wonder why.Ugh, will the conspiracy theories ever stop?
Israel doesn't have "control" over the West. The West is willingly supporting Israel. (To varying degrees anyway; the US supports it much more than Europe does, although the fact that Europe supports it at all is already too much.)
How is it that the israeli murderers looking into it is (the more relevant) news before the fact that the girl was murdered in the first place. Like how is this the news everyone 'coincidentally' is covering? Journalism is such a fucking jokeCredit goes to organizations like AIPAC doing the devils work in normalizing the apartheid states actions and rewording the narrative in the media
Here are some interviews that sites have re-upped/posted since her murder
I'd argue that it isn't really a conspiracy theory and should not be a bannable offense.Ugh, will the conspiracy theories ever stop?

If this totally fucking innocuous post is bannable, you better ban me too. I think it will be my permaban because I've racked up a few infractions.I understand the need to maintain some level of civility, but the mod edit screams of "both sides". Very disappointed. This is not a symmetrical affair, what Israel is doing is ethnic cleansing. Watering down our language only serves to obscuate that. This type of stance was how SA were able to perpetuate their apartheid system for so long. History repeating itself I'm afraid.
Witnesses say Israeli soldiers shot dead 21-year-old Palestinian medic Razan al-Najjar as she ran toward the border fence to provide medical aid to a wounded protester. Since nonviolent protests began at the end of March, Israeli soldiers have killed at least 119 people, including 14 children. More than 13,000 have been wounded. "It was clear to everybody that she was a paramedic, that that was murder. I mean, that was a crime committed before cameras," said Dr. Medhat Abbas, director of Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility in the Gaza Strip. We also speak with Najjar's cousin, Dalia al-Najjar, who says the response of the international community to the Gaza crisis has been "really disappointing," and notes the U.S. vetoed a draft U.N. resolution urging the protection of Palestinians on Friday, the same day Najjar was killed. "It's a shameful side that the United States decided to take."
In response to an international outcry over her death, the Israel Defense Forces said earlier this week that al-Najjar had been killed accidentally by a soldier aiming at someone else. Then, on Thursday, the army's social media unit began a coordinated smear campaign against her, by falsely suggesting in a video that she had been engaged in rioting and had attended the protests to shield militants disguised as protesters.
As evidence of "rioting," the military offered just 10 seconds of video, underpinned by music suitable for a horror movie, which showed a woman who was dressed like al-Najjar tossing away a tear gas canister fired at protesters by Israeli forces. If the woman was al-Najjar, the video only showed her participating in a ritual familiar to protesters around the world — tossing tear gas fired at them as far away as possible. The video also shows that she hurled the canister only a short distance, and it landed nowhere near any Israeli soldiers.
The second part of the video that supposedly excuses the killing of al-Najjar is half a sentence clipped from an interview she gave to the Lebanese broadcaster Al Mayadeen News, in which she had called her role as a protest medic being "a human shield to protect and save the injured on the front lines." An Israeli military editor cut that sentence in half to make it seems as if al-Najjar had been caught admitting that she was only present to provide cover to militants.
Fucking assholes.The IDF has released a misleadingly edited video smearing this woman as a terrorist.
Truly disgusting.
Yeah but if we boycott Israel, our Democratic politicians will boycott us! Andrew Cuomo said so.Reminder: Boycott Isreal.
Get as many as your friends to do it too.
It's the only semblance of power we have left, it is the least we can do.
