war is between two regular armies. pounding the shit out of gaza after cutting supplies and water can hardly be called war
It’s clearly propaganda for internal consumption, because there’s no way in hell that anyone who isn’t spouting hate and foam 24-7 is going to buy the parallelism. They want to fill Zionist radicals with fervor so that they help force dissidents to shut up about the fact that they’re committing genocide.
This is no war, it is genocide when you shoot civilians.
Shooting them is bad press. Bringing down whole buildings with aerial bombardment is much more palatable.
Better than Ukraine history tho. Lot of cool videos
It’s not a war, it’s a massacre…
Genocide is the correct term. Massacre is correct, but not precise enough.
If we accept Israel’s argument that it can kill whoever it wants because the other side started it then we are creating a new basis for conflict where wars can always be justified by the instigator.

Translated: Nazanyahu declares Israel dependent on ethnic cleansing
He didn’t even have to declare that, it’s always been this way.
I still cant believe the western goverments are sitting idely by while this slaughter happens.
They are not sitting idly, they are supporting it.
The sad truth is all their media has become pro Israeli. They never even see or hear about the Palestinians plight. They just keep replaying the same crap from Oct 7.
In the UK we’re seeing a lot about the Palestinian plight on the BBC. We also see news about concern for the hostages but don’t see much about the Oct 7 attack itself anymore.
The plight of civilians only entered the media sphere after weeks of false news about the october 7th attack that was used as justification for the UK’s complicity in the massacres that followed. It’s the media trying to save face as the public learn the truth from other means.
I don’t recall seeing any false news on the BBC. They tend to be very good at verifying what they are told and generally say that there were reports of things happening if they haven’t verified it.
Either way, we are only three weeks from the Oct 7 attack and the BBC has definitely been showing the plight of civilians for a significant proportion of that time so it certainly wasn’t “weeks of false news”.
They reported that Hamas had tunnels under Al-shifa hospital hours before it was bombed by Israel, and then refused to cover the fact that the response by Israel was blatant disinformation.
They reported that pro-palestine demos were “supporting terrorism”, and were actually told to BROADCAST an apology. Despite this, their apology was more “we’re sorry you got mad” and refused to outright say they lied.
They reported on the “40 beheaded babies” (As did all the UK media) yet this was demonstrably false and was simply quietly ignored from future reports.
EVERY single palestinian support they interviewed in the opening days of the bombardment were asked if they “condemned hamas”, implying that anyone who DOES support palestine is a supporter of terrorism.
I think this all counts as weeks of false news, both implicitly from their refusal to properly cover the genocidal rhetoric and behavior of Israel, to the explicit lies and mistruths from the newsdesk.
If you don’t recall seeing anything false then congrats, you’re the target audience for the propaganda.
Have you ever watched, random example, DW. BBC isn’t entirely terrible, either.
they’re making a lot of money - or will, soon enough
Well in their first war of “independence” they kicked out 700k civilians out of their homes and never allowed them to return to their rightful belongings. Is this what they’re again yet again? More land grabs?
a 2nd nakba, then
This is the first time that I’ve realized in real time that a “war” is actually genocide
The only thing Isreal is accomplishing is guaranteeing there will be another generation of radicalization.
The asymmetry of this “war” is clear, even in a nation that gives Israel full support by the government and media.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Gaza was plunged into darkness, isolation and violence on Saturday night, its communications with the outside world almost entirely cut, as Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced his country was entering “the second stage” of what was likely to be a long and difficult war against Hamas.
(tldr: 6 sentences skipped)
As 2.3 million Palestinians in the blockaded coastal strip braced themselves for a second night of sharply escalating Israeli military operations, Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, said that the campaign against the Islamist militant group Hamas would continue until a new order was given.
(tldr: 7 sentences skipped)
With links to mobile networks, the internet and electricity inside Gaza almost entirely severed, emergency services, including paramedic teams, were operating almost blind as they struggled to respond to scores of deaths and injuries from the airstrikes.
(tldr: 4 sentences skipped)
Israel launched its assault on Gaza after hundreds of fighters from Hamas crossed the Israeli border in vehicles, by air and sea on 7 October, indiscriminately killing civilians in the streets, their homes and at an outdoor rave.
(tldr: 6 sentences skipped)
It said: “During a night of intense bombardment and ground incursions in Gaza, with reports of hostilities still continuing, health workers, patients and civilians have been subject to a total communication and electrical blackout.
(tldr: 2 sentences skipped)
“Hospitals across Gaza are already operating at maximum capacity due to the injuries sustained in weeks of unrelenting bombardment, and are unable to absorb a dramatic rise in the number of patients, while sheltering thousands of civilians.

I’m sure Bibi’s best buddy Donald Trump will be the first to show up in tacticals and do all the FREEDOMING on the front lines. 🙄
There must be a massive oil/gas field under Gaza or something for them to do this.
Downvote all you want. You have tea and crumpets with the guy who falls all over Kim Jong Un, and go and name districts after him, then absolutely fffk you and horse you rode in on.
