https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/17/does-israel-have-the-right-to-self-defence-in-gaza

That link is to an Aljazeera article examining Isreal's right to self-defense. The tldr: many experts say no because Isreal controlled the area for years either via direct means, aka occupation, or through the Israeli governments well known "mowing the grass operations."

Further, the post you were responding to was about Israeli action against Gaza and its people. This may include Hamas, a terrorist organization that killed many innocent people on 10/7. I have no sympathy for those people. However, Gaza also holds well over a million innocents. It holds many children. It holds architecture that is important to Christians and Muslims. It holds communities of people with no reasonable way out of a conflict they did not start.

Holding true to the morals set forth in the previous paragraph, I cannot stand the IDF. It is the most powerful military force in the area, and it chooses to use it via snipers killing grandmothers.

In the art of child murder the idf too takes the lead. (https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/08/28/west-bank-spike-israeli-killings-palestinian-children) that link is to a human rights watch article explaining the idf's lack of penalty for the deaths of those in Palestine's West Bank. This says nothing of the other children murdered in Gaza. Though it is a war zone, the idf has taken no extra precautions to ensure the safety of civilians. In fact, the idf has done the opposite. The idf calls for evacuation to one location and then bombs it. The following politico article talks about this in some more detail.

West Bank: Spike in Israeli Killings of Palestinian Children

The Israeli military and border police forces are killing Palestinian children with virtually no recourse for accountability.

Israel bombs refugee camps in central Gaza

The airstrikes occurred amid an expanding Israeli offensive against Hamas.

Furthermore, the IDF is also using its expanded resources to kill catholics in Gaza, I guess they aren't Jewish enough to be people.

I ask of you sir, what warning was given to these women? What of the children? What of the peaceful Christians? Let's not forget that not every man is a terrorist either, and thus, many of them are innocently killed to satisfy idf blood lust. The following is a quote from CBS News, "More than 20,900 Palestinians — two-thirds of them women and children — have been killed."

Why Israel’s Gaza Evacuation Order is So Alarming

On Friday, the Israeli army ordered more than 1 million people — half the population — to leave northern Gaza within 24 hours, in advance of

Isreal has no real need to be in Gaza to stop Hamas attacks again. Isreal is intentionally killing non combatants, women, children, and fathers. Isreal is engaged in prisoner exchanges, not hostage nor peace negotiations. Isreal has found no proof that Hamas was using the hospitals, schools, and mosques as fortresses nor weapons platforms. The idf argues with its high court for permission to use human shields. It is cowardly and shameful. Hamas and the IDF have much to answer for, to hide, and to regret.

Next time you see a video of a child dying remember this, the war could have been stopped but US vetoed this.

This video comes from Quds News Network, a volunteer based Palestinian News organization. To those who may be unwilling to trust such an organization, here's a human rights watch article on the IDF's tendency to attack the elderly. This is all to say the information above is accurate.

That being said, please refrain from calling all those individuals swept up into this war on the Israeli side to all be genocidal. The IDF still uses conscription, and despite the lack of enforcement in the past, current dodging will get you tossed into jail. The longer you refuse, the longer you're sentenced to. To sum up, it's similar to the US involvement with Vietnam in that many soldiers are willing and gleefully committing atrocities in the name of Israel, and some are just there because they must be. To accuse all of that crime is a disservice to those who must attend such violence.

The sadness and despair in those eyes...

There are no innocent soldiers in iof, including the women. I've seen female soldiers laughing and dancing at the misery of Palestinian people and doing heinous acts just like their male counterparts.

I'd love to have a convo with you... this, this is my shit

someone: hi

me: did you know the narrative that school shooters in the US are all bullying victims is false and originates from inaccurate coverage of one of the most infamous school shootings, the columbine shooting? in reality the columbine shooters were reactionaries who isolated themselves deliberately and followed an ideology that positioned them "above" the rest. so, a lot of school shooters are actually ideologically motivated rather than revenge motivated. no one knows this and the media paints these murderers as victims. do you want to know what the columbine effect is? also I have a lot to say about "stranger danger" as a conservative fear campaign to promote the isolated nuclear family

Happy late af birthday mate

Happy birthday to me i guess 😂 finally 15.

Polyamory

Reblog if you’re polyamorous/open to polyamory in the future/in a polycule or open to one/interested in polyamory I want to see how many of us there are

And like if you think polyamory is okay, can be healthy, and doesn’t “go against human nature”

Writing a novel when you imagine all you stories in film format is hard because there’s really no written equivalent of “lens flare” or “slow motion montage backed by Gregorian choir”
