Israel Hamas War - Tumblr Posts
An American went to the capital of the plasticine autonomy, Ramallah, and interviewed the animals ther🇪🇭 Американець поїхав у столицю пластилінової автономії Рамаллу та опитав тамошних тварин 😈
I've done a reverse image search and looked at this Twitter account and can't find this tweet at all. Then when I tried to search this account low and behold:
This account has been pasting fake info since before Aaron Bushnell.
Also:
So yeah this is just a rage bait disinformation Twitter account. The chances it's somehow right are slim to none.
Additionally, the OP Tumblr account posts a lot of stuff (like a third of their posts) from non-reputable sources as well as tweets without dates so that's not helping either.
The only thing slightly accurate from this tweet is this:

Here’s your peace loving world of Islam who support Hamas Hezbollah et al- there are 2billion + on the planet demanding sharia in every country they come to dominate. Balfour do a shite job creating Israel with different people that would always be at odds but remember there are less than q-million Jews worldwide! Who is the minority?
In my opinion..
I don't think we should be using tags like #fuckisrael #everyone hates Israel, ect.
I am not saying Israel isn't committing genocide.
However; that's how Israelis and don't support this whatsoever get attacked, sent death threats, killed, ect. Like; we saw this with 9/11. (If you aren't American; and / or have no idea what the hell i'm talking about, here's a link to what happened)
al-Qaeda, is a broad-based militant Islamist* organization founded by Osama bin Laden in the late 1980s and became one of the world's most notorious terrorist organizations after carrying out the attacks of September 11, 2001. -Britannica (Source Link)
*(I feel like I should make this connection, Islam is the name of the religion Muslims follow. (Source Link))
Post 9/11: There is a MAJOR surge in Muslim hate crimes; threats towards Muslims and religious intolerance of Muslims.
Here's a graph of what I mean:
I am fearful that if we use these tags so much, it might turn into a similar event of post 9/11. Aren't we trying to learn from mistakes? Not make them again?
I am NOT trying to say that people who are posting with these tags are going to start attacking Israelis, i'm saying that it might turn into a game of telephone; or something similar, like: A texts: 'ISRAEL SUCKS!!' and then B texts the same thing to C, then C starts to deliberately isolate their Israeli friends; or encourage / pressure their friends to isolate theirs.
I am also NOT trying to blame people on Tumblr and say people using these tags are horrible people.. etc.
I feel that we should still be making posts about the situation, but instead of using #fuckIsrael, we should be saying #genocide #Ethnic Cleansing #war crimes #Israel #propaganda. #ThisIsGenocide #Human Rights.

Yes, let's let these two quotes stand on their own and let them have an effect on what is happening right now.
One is one thing and the other is another and the two cannot be compared, no matter how much the oh-so-righteous world feels the need to relativise things.

On a normal October day, innocent people who did not wish their neighbours and other people harm or even death were cruelly massacred, raped and murdered. They were cruelly confronted with the human abyss of hatred by inhuman terrorists on their national territory without any declaration of war and without warning and paid for it with their lives or were abducted under horrific humiliation and torture.
No matter what happened afterwards, this stands for itself and for the inhuman hatred of Hamas, which never had any intention of living in coexistence with Israel. The aim of this terrorist organisation is to wipe out Israel. Full stop!
As part of its reason of state, Israel cannot and could not leave this unanswered. You can't negotiate with terrorists, no matter which state is responsible for such atrocities. With the only logical goal of eliminating the threat to its inhabitants and for reasons of state.
Reason of state
Striving for security and self-assertion of the state by any means
The concept of raison d'état means the pursuit of security and self-assertion of the state by any means. According to Wolfgang Kersting, raison d'état represents a "rule of hierarchy for conflicts of interest and law". This usually refers to Machiavelli's classic trinity of "voluntas, necessitas and utilitas" ("will, necessity, utility") as the legitimising factors of state actions.
In this sense, reason of state is a rational calculation of a government's interests, regardless of the form of government, and is solely committed to maintaining the functioning of the state. A more recent interpretation of reason of state is the requirement that the state must successfully assert itself against crime in order to prevent blackmail and imitation, among other things
Why are you so uncompassionate when it comes to the victims of terrorists and have so much sympathy for the consequences caused by Hamas, which also affect innocent people?
Don't you wonder how a group of terrorists can live in Gaza uninvolved and with enormous money resources and if this hamas really wants the best for the Palestinian people then why is everyone living so precariously. It is not because of the size of the Gaza area even smaller areas where people live in confined spaces are social and economic success. So where does the money go year after year that hamas gets? Probably not in the general welfare of the Palestinian population but in modern war technology which has no benefit for the normal people.
If you look closely, you can see that other interests are being pursued here than peace for the Middle East. But that is not the issue now.
It is cruel and only we come to other things which are not comparable to the terrorism of hamas against innocent civilians.
The Palestinian people do not deserve to suffer the consequences of the reasons of state triggered by the atrocities of hamas. Human rights must be respected within the framework of the laws of war. Civilians are inviolable and this applies to both sides.
And yes, the conflict must be resolved, but I won't be making any friends. It has to hurt a lot before it gets better! In the Thirty Years' War, Catholic and Protestant warring parties killed and humiliated each other until everyone had had enough of the joint slaughter and then found peace together. The Peace of Westphalia, in which all atrocities were mutually forgiven and forgotten. This is the only way to live in peace.
Only those who recognise that it can only work together and do not see what they want, but see how far they can get away from the other so that we can live together successfully, have the solutions in their hands.

On behalf of all those murdered, I stand here only as the face of a person whose life was far too short. Life is a human right that was denied to me.
In memory of the innocent victims
A brief history of Israel and my take on the conflict.
If you disagree and this post does nothing but make you angry, okay. Feel free to comment below. But if you want to discuss back and forth and want me to respond consistently, please message me b/c that's just easier to keep track of.
But just in case there are people out there who just don't know what they don't know, and their opinions might be changed with some facts, here are a few of those:
Israel is the ancestral land of the Jewish people. No group can trace its history back to Israel further than the Jews can. As far as human history can show us, they are the original indigenous people to the area.
Both the Quran and the Bible call the Jews, the "Children of Israel." There is documentation of a substantial and deep-rooted Jewish presence and nation-state in the Levant from long before there was an Arab state, and nearly two millennia before Islam was ever founded.
The land was occupied by foreign invaders, multiple times. The Jews were expelled and forced to wander in the diaspora, though some remnant always managed to stay behind, which is why there is a continuous Jewish presence in the land for thousands of years. The Romans ruled it as a vassal state which they renamed 'Palestine', meant as an insult to the Jews. Arabs eventually gained control from the Romans and ruled it in various groups and kingdoms.
Whenever Jews would return to the area, they quickly created financial and structural success. Poverty-stricken Arabs began to stream in from the surrounding Arab countries, hoping to join in the prosperity that the settled Jews were attaining. The Jews did not fight this, and instead did the best they could to live and prosper under the Ottoman Empire and then under the British.
But they wanted to be free to live in their land under their own rule. As antisemitism around the globe grew, the idea of a Jewish State in their historical homeland gained traction: Zionism. The Mandate for Palestine specified that the Jews could create a national homeland on both sides of the Jordan.
The Arabs complained. They too, wanted a state of their own within the Mandate. So the British carved away 78% of the Mandate, which they’d promised to the Jews, and gave it to the Arabs for their own national homeland, which was called “Transjordan” and later renamed “Jordan.”
The Arabs were still not satisfied with this plan. They wanted all of the land, even though they were being offered the massive majority of land. They wanted the Jews gone entirely. The UN came up with the Partition Plan. The Jews accepted this compromise. The Arabs did not and once again became violent.
The Jews declared statehood. Seven Arab armies attacked, hoping to annihilate the Jews and believing they could do it quite handedly. Before they attacked, they told the Arabs living in the land to leave for the duration of the war. The idea was that the displaced Arabs could come back once they'd successfully ethnically cleansed the Jews.
While peace was offered by the Jews, it was soundly and violently rejected by the Arabs, and the resultant chaos, displacement, and deaths that this led to is referred to as the 'Nakba'. The Nakba was the end result of the Arabs' continuous and unwavering opposition to any form of peaceful coexistence.
Since that time, the UN has granted refugee status to the Arabs who left Israel, and extended that status to apply to their offspring, although as mentioned above, many of these refugees left of their own free will, at the behest of the surrounding Arab nations. Once the Jews were wiped off the map, they were promised, they could return.
That didn't work out for them. The Jews won the war. Now, what has each side chosen to do with their time and money since then? It's not hard to spot the difference:
Since 1948, the Jews have accepted in the Jewish populations of Algeria, Syria, Jordan, Qatar, Lebanon, Morocco, Egypt, and more; because those countries don't want or accept Jews in their intolerant societies. Meanwhile, most of those countries have refused to accept in Palestinian refugees themselves.
The Jews have built a society where Arab Israelis are afforded equal rights, vote, serve on the supreme court, are elected into the Knesset, work as doctors, lawyers, etc.; and are allowed to openly practice their Islamic religion. Meanwhile in the surrounding Arab states and in Gaza/the West Bank, there is no such equality, and Jews are persecuted, if they are tolerated at all.
The Israelis have spent their money on improving their society with education, defense, and a vastly developed infrastructure; whilst the Arabs have spent their money on maintaining a rather consistently non-stop terror campaign. The Palestinians receive $1.15 billion of foreign aid a year - more than any other group in the world - but they squander it.
Given these differing choices, it is not hard to see why one group is doing quite well, whilst the other flounders.
Due to the Israelis defending themselves with intelligence, counter offensives, and the iron dome, they've managed to remain on the map.
Despite all of the Arab violence, Israel has tried to negotiate a peace settlement with the Arabs over and over and over again (1948, 1949, 1957, 1978, 1979, 1991, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2020). But the Arabs have a firmly proclaimed "3 no's" policy of "no recognition," "no negotiation," and "no peace." They reject every single peace plan and instead constantly engage in terror attacks against the Jews.
At this point, antisemitism is deeply embedded in Arab culture of the Levant. Progressive Western values for things such as gay rights, women's rights, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and religious freedom are routinely accepted by the Israelis and routinely rejected by the Arabs, who's leaders continue to espouse intolerance, and continue to jail, torture, and execute dissidents - thousands of their own people.
Perhaps most tragically of all, the Arabs are led by Hamas - a terrorist group whom they elected into power and who have little if any interest in doing what's best for the Palestinian people. The priority of Hamas, as is openly stated in their charter, is to eradicate both Israel and all Jews worldwide. They use their own people as human shields, preventing evacuations and operating militarily out of areas such as schools, apartment buildings, and hospitals. The Gaza ministry is currently going on television and telling people of Gaza not to evacuate when they get the warnings. This is unconscionable.
Yet, the Jews are still willing to cede massive swathes of territory, to try to compromise over and over and over again, and to attempt to get along with people who are different from them. Meanwhile those same people refuse to settle for anything less than all the territory, Jew-free. The qualitative difference between these two groups and how they operate is glaring.
I do want to mention that while it is true that many Arabs living in the Levant are deeply and culturally antisemitic at this point, many of them are not! Many of them are just good people who have been unlucky enough to be born into an unfortunate conflagration of geography, religion, and culture, and cannot control that they are stuck living in the side that perpetuates death, terror, destruction, and intolerance.
These Arabs are victims, and they deserve to live prosperous lives free of terror, suffering and death. Unfortunately this will never happen so long as they are held hostage by an evil group like Hamas.
I'm not religious, but if you are, then:
Please pray for a short war and minimum civilian casualties.
Please pray for air strike warning notices to be heeded and evacuations facilitated.
Pray for Arabs to choose to govern themselves democratically and to spend their money constructively.
Pray for the Israeli forces to use good judgement and abide by the international rules of war while this conflict plays out.
Pray for Arabs to escape their Hamas oppressors and find safety and shelter as this war runs its course.
Pray for coexistence, and for religious tolerance.
Pray for the swift and utter destruction of Hamas.
Again, feel free to leave whatever comments you like below. I know a lot of people get furious when faced with opinions and facts refuting their own viewpoints. I welcome any arguments or counter evidence you want to link me to in the comments and promise I will read/watch it.
But if you want to engage in a back and forth discussion with me, messaging is just easier for me to keep track of it.
And please signal boost this post by reblogging! The point is to try and give some fact-based perspective to the pro-Hamas supporters.
International aid workers from World Central Kitchen killed in Israeli airstrike
A World Central Kitchen team has been hit by Israeli fire in the Gaza Strip. Five people died, including helpers from Poland, Australia and the UK.
Israel had a right to self-defence, the key word being " had past tense".
What else must happen to the eternal back and forth chasing of the Palestinian civilian population for supposedly necessary measures or, to put it clearly, military attacks with more and more civilian deaths!
israel is doing itself a disservice with this strategy, it is creating even more terrorists and driving extremism in the arab countries even further.
Pressure creates against pressure physically law. It's only stupid if you have caused the waves that are coming your way.
The massacre on 7 October was cruel and despicable and represents the sick ideology of hamas and its contract killers. The murder, rape and kidnapping of innocent people is not a fight for freedom but a war crime.
Never forget who is responsible for the consequences - the murderers and those behind the hamas massacre.
However, retaliation on this scale is no longer justifiable and must be stopped immediately.
Stop the Gaza war immediately, it is against international law.

The UN Security Council has been given a stark warning about the consequences of inaction in Gaza: in its latest report to the UN Security Council, the United Nations (UN) warns that at least 576,000 people in Gaza are at risk of famine as a result of the conflict.
The UN Security Council met under the auspices of Resolution 2417: representatives of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) presented the findings of their report. The report highlights how warfare, including the impact of the Israeli military blockade before 7 October 2023, is preventing people in Gaza from accessing food. This includes Israel's far-reaching restrictions on access and delivery of humanitarian and commercial goods, as well as targeted attacks on aid convoys. Humanitarian aid and access to the population across Gaza is also restricted due to the denial of security guarantees and the ongoing blockade of water and electricity and bombardments. The UN also emphasised the impact of the attacks on the food production infrastructure: due to the destruction of agricultural land and numerous forced displacements, fields have been abandoned and food production is limited.
While the entire population in Gaza does not have sufficient access to food, the situation in northern Gaza is particularly catastrophic. According to the WFP, one in six children under the age of two now suffers from wasting. 155,000 pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers do not have access to sufficient, nutritious food. Malnutrition has a devastating and intergenerational impact on vulnerable populations, including long-term effects on children's cognitive and physical development and well-being, as well as compromising their future quality of life.
Resolution 2417, adopted unanimously in 2018, is intended to prompt the UN Security Council to act when there is a risk of conflict-related famine for the civilian population. It strengthens existing international law, according to which starving the civilian population is a war crime. However, despite constant warnings of the risks and contrary to the UN Security Council's own resolutions, it remains inactive - as a result of the use of the veto power of the permanent members. At the beginning of the month, the United States vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire for the third time.
The signatory non-governmental organisations are calling on the UN Security Council to urgently adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. This is the only way to curb the famine in Gaza and protect the civilian population, including by preventing a military operation in Rafah, which would have catastrophic consequences for the civilian population and bring relief efforts to a complete standstill.
At the same time, humanitarian aid for Palestinians must now be massively increased, which will be essential even if the fighting stops. This includes continuing to support the vital work of UNRWA and partner organisations to help the Palestinian civilian population survive one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our time. The role of UNRWA cannot be replaced. The approval and renewal of visas for humanitarian workers must also be accelerated.
The UN Security Council must ensure the implementation of the resolutions on Gaza, which call for unrestricted, rapid, safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid organisations to all of Gaza. In addition, the UN Security Council has a crucial role to play in ensuring compliance with the judgement of the International Court of Justice and upholding the consistent application of international law.

The Israeli Minister of Defence has announced the commencement of a new phase of hostilities.
Explosions of walkie-talkies have been reported in Lebanon, resulting in casualties.
Israel has described this as a new phase of the war. Following the detonation of pagers on Tuesday, further explosions occurred in Lebanon. It would appear that walkie-talkies were the source of the explosion. As was the case the previous day, numerous members of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah were reportedly affected, according to information provided by Lebanese security sources.
What is the number of victims? The Lebanese Ministry of Health has thus far reported 14 fatalities and 450 injuries resulting from the walkie-talkie explosions. However, it is possible that the number of victims may continue to rise overnight.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Israeli attack on Hezbollah fighters has left everyone on the edge of their seats.
The manufacturer of the communication devices has stepped forward to deny any responsibility, adding another layer of intrigue to this fast-developing story.
New paper more or less
Now the next stage of escalation management, to really provoke a war that will drag the whole region down with it, only needs one more drop.
What Israel has done here is unprecedented and will probably be used in the future as a measure by anyone who wants to get rid of unwanted people.
It is an unprecedented breach of the blueprint that manifests power.
They could have detonated the pagers at night when all the people they were targeting were asleep. After all, people keep their telephones, or in this case pagers, within reach by their beds.
But no, that would not have been the message Israel wanted to send. A dead man in bed at night is just too unspectacular. It has to be a public show of force, a manifestation of horror, we'll get you and the population should see it!
The inhuman military strategists are not interested in innocent victims. This is accepted as a matter of course to show that they are well fortified and will stop at nothing to show it.
Unfortunately, the sword has two edges: violence begets counter-violence, and by the same means.
Every Israeli citizen in the world is now a target, every embassy, every Israeli company and institution. It used to be local, but now it is everywhere, because it was a manifesto in front of the world.
Israeli institutions have always been at risk, but now these actions have created a new security challenge for everyone involved.
Hats off. With Gaza and this affair, Israel has done itself no favours. It's a Pyrrhic victory if things go badly.
mod
Instead of defusing the conflict, the Israeli government is doing everything it can to create clear camps so that each nation will have to decide which side it is on when the real fighting begins in the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
What they are doing in Gaza is impressively inhumane and will create hatred for generations.
It may have once been good against evil, but it is no longer good when those who consider themselves good can use the means of evil, you can assume that the difference no longer exists.
Hatred and revenge will be the harvest, not security and freedom.

حماك الله من كراهيتك
שאלוהים ישמור עליך משנאתך
We hope you find it in your heart to forgive and forget.
It was never about hamas. If israel manages somehow to kill every member of hamas, what then? Do you think Palestinians are just going to forgive and forget everything Israel has done?
Babies who are the only surviving members of their families? Fathers carrying the remains of their children in plastic bags? Palestinians who witnessed people blown to bits right in front of them? Had Israeli forces shoot at them as they tried to escape the north? Palestinians in the West Bank who have been captured and tortured on camera? Palestinians in 48 who have been arrested just for sympathizing with their kin in Gaza? Palestinian school girls being assaulted by the IOF? Mothers who only have the blood of their children on their hands as their only remaining piece of them? The constant dehumanization that followed our every move - how while Palestinians suffered, politicians called us “monsters”, “human animals”, “children of darkness”, “savages”, and “cockroaches”?
It’s been 75 years since my family was forced from their villages by Zionist militias, they have never forgotten what they did to their neighbors and how they are still denied their right of return. None of us will.
Now, IOF forces in Gaza raise the Israeli flag over the beaches and take selfies with fleeing Palestinians in the background, cheer and celebrate a “return to their settlements in gaza” and sing about leveling the land and fantasize building shopping malls on Palestinian mass graves - it was never about hamas.
If it makes y'all feel any better Isreal %100 uses the money given to them by the United States to fund and staff online information campaigns, so technically it's not real and genuine opinions.
It's similar to how shitty music artists buy likes and use their art to launder money.
Unfortunately both Trump and Harris are both oil company dirtbags and will keep giving US tax dollars.
is this what it was like in 9/11. trying to reason with people whose entire concept of human decency flies out the window when presented with the possibility of causing the smallest amount of harm to a "terrorist", no collateral damage is too large, no civilian too innocent, no connection too murky for people to deserve to die or be permanently crippled. people citing world war two urban warfare statistics to try to make a bad situation seem less worse and not balking at how fascist they sound

I've been seeing a lot about the Israel conflict with Hamas and the atrocities both sides are committing, so I guess I'll put my take out there. I know this isn't like my usual "silly haha" or "cool thing" content, but I'll resume that eventually.
CW: Personal opinions about a bloody conflict with many civilian deaths.
Personally, I support Palestine. Not Hamas. Palestine.
This is a country that the target resides in, and therefore gets blown to bits. Unlike Pakistan, they're not even providing shelter to Hamas (TMK), but Israel continues to attack civilian targets, and keeps saying "Oh, Hamas has moved to the south, so we need to attack there," whilst they kill civilians along the way.
I'm not even advocating for Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organisation who has committed several atrocities themselves. They deserve to die. They deserve to be killed for their actions. But it should not come at the cost of innocent lives.
As always in wartimes, this is a complex situation. Neither side is morally right, nor morally wrong, depending on your perspective. But there is no denying the basic facts.
Palestine did nothing (recent) to provoke Israel to kill civilians. And both Israel and Hamas, which is not Palestine, have committed atrocities.
But hey! It's a religious war between Christians! And I'm in the Cult of the Satanic Temple! Who am I to judge them?
I'm someone who stands for civil liberties, that's who.
If you actually care about Palestinians you wouldn’t be protesting just Israel, you would be protesting Egypt, Jorden and Lebanon and stop supporting Hamas.
What’s happening now is just the newest form of Jew hating.
