because amongst all those people killed by the Israeli army in the very place they told them to shelter, there isn’t a nice looking western girl with glamour pictures on social networks, the murder of those people will never cause the same disgust in the West as the plight of the girl kidnapped by Hamas which has been turned into a constantly repeated Israeli propaganda piece
I can’t help but point out that it wouldn’t and couldn’t have been turned into a propaganda piece if they didn’t post a video of her lifeless body being driven around for people to spit on.
Yeah. They suck. Having your home and life destroyed sucks, it all sucks that’s why people aren’t rushing to do it.
People don’t actually really want to have a revolution as much as they would like things to get better. And if someone is hurt enough they might not care as much. It’s why we say people are still too comfortable to do it.
People don’t seem to believe she’s still alive. She certainly won’t be in a Gaza hospital, already under blockade, about to be deliberately starved and bombed out by the Israeli army.
Unconscious isn’t exactly that much better regardless.
I’d say the almost glee with which that girl’s horror has been exploited by the “propaganda machine” betrays an inhumanity almost to the level of those parading her around.
Her mother still seems to believe she’s alive and is calling for news about her (hence why I went with “kidnapped”, since frankly I don’t know if she’s dead or alive and in the circus that the poor girl’s fate has been turned into, it’s hard to know where truth ends and “conveninent assumptions” start).
I’m disgusted all around by the inhumanity of doing what was done to her and to those in that party and the inhumanity of using that as justification to, with the calous premeditation that was described here, murder innocent people deemed as “other” and hence lesser.
As I wrote elsewhere, I blame the US and to some extent Europe for not really properly fucking up both sides to such an extent that genuine peace was the only viable option: beyond the moral considerations on only going after the weaker side, not forcing the stronger to take the boot out of the necks of those on the weaker side has just created a situation were thousands of young people literally have nothing to lose from joining a terrorist organisation, so it was a massive act of stupidty.
I know you don’t think you are, but you’re really misguided and have been taken in by some messed up propaganda. You’re missing SO much but I get it’s popular to rag on Israel and the US right now, so it’s kind of easy to just go with the flow.
Two days ago, hundreds of innocent people were ambushed and murdered at a music festival by some Palestinians.
A terrorist attack, just like telling people to shelter in a specific place and then bombing them is a terrorist attack.
I’m pointing out the vastly different treatment given to terror attacks depending on who did them.
On Principle I’m against treating some murders of civilians as less important or more excusable than other murders of civilians because of the “side” who did the deed, and weaponize for propaganda murders in the same manipulative way as used in marketing to sell shaving cream or fast food.
I’m quite curious about what actual Principle anchors your idea that “judging the killing of people for the purpose of terrifying the rest exactly the same no mater who does it” is “misguided”.
Bro we can skip back two days before that too and all it would show is an exchange basically daily but with a massive disparity of force up to this point.

According to these lemmy POS apologists:
“Revolutions are messy”
I’ll remember that when it’s someone they like getting disemboweled.
It’s just messy hun.
I mean, disembowelments have the potential to be extremely messy
Not always, some EU countries went through peaceful revolutions.
Who?
For one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution
There’s general wiki about nonviolent revolutions link

But this was a cold comment.
How did the post a video of her lifeless body if she’s still alive?

Where are you that this is a “popular” stance?

It gets confusing with the various Lemmy instances.
These people need to go outside and touch grass. The Internet ≠ real life
