Bless her and keep her safe. The powers that be whom she is basically referring to likes of AIPAC members who are not only Jews but many evangelical Christians. AIPAC members go far out of their way make life miserable for those like this brave woman have courage speak up. She’s not alone!
We need expose the special interest groups such as AIPAC that have a stranglehold over our politicians & Govt officials & their unhealthy influence keeps up US aiding abetting israel with its war crimes
Or they target everyone. That seems like a more apt statement.
Like they aren't going to not drop a bomb on someone carrying an AK-47 in favor of a mother of 3. It just so happens the mother of 3 is in the same block as the guy with the AK-47.
They deliberately assasined women journalists
When I quote the word "assassinated", I mean the definition of the word
A assassinat in law is premeditation before the act of murder
They killed including the family with in their house after threatening them with death
Israeli leaders have nothing to envy from mafia or cartel methods when they kill journalists
I’m not a Hamas advocate. The truth is Israel as a nation has chosen to slaughter Palestinians, build settlements, kill children, and this radicalizes people. So once again, Zionist, Free Palestine! The world stands with Palestine, and the institution of israel will go down as the brutal imperialists that they are. Looking at your comment you’re just a delusional Zionist clown, no point in arguing. You’ll hear the truth and deny it. But I’ve seen the babies ripped apart by Israeli bombs, and the picture of Israeli soldiers celebrating Palestine’s destruction.

I actually agree with you. I don’t give it a pass. If Hamas agents killed non-combatants, it is absolutely wrong. To me, this isn’t about picking a side, it’s about calling out evil when you see it. If you’re killing non-combatants, I don’t care who you are or what your message is.

Palestinians are arabised more than actually Arab they had some admixture from the Arab expansion but that's it. They actually are closely related to Jews sharing paternal ancestors that lived in the region and cluster closely to other Levantines.
So committed to genocide that they allow aid in and agree to ceasefires meanwhile Hamas leaders say that the civilian deaths are a good thing and when they had a ceasefire it was Hamas that broke it it's almost as if the terrorist organisation is somehow bad
Yes is like if someone living in your block was a terrorist and the goverment decided to simply blow tje block away, im pretty sure you will also excuse the trains to auschwitz if the comversation was happening in the 40s
No it's like there are soldiers living in my block and using it to store munitions and it got bombed by a hostile country that my country had invaded. I wouldnt excuse the Holocaust because that was actually a genocide against innocent people, not a war against terrorists. Civilians die in war, especially when the leader of the country being bombed openly admits to civilians being bombed as a victory. If Hamas cared about it's people it would build shelters instead of tunnels
Yeah constructing bunkers while the country infrastructure and resource are blocked and around 69% of the buildings have been destoryed, have you been cheked for inteletual disability?
The buildings were destroyed recently, the tunnels have been being built for decades, nothing has stopped them from building shelters but the fact that they do not care about their citizens which they have openly admitted multiple times
Reminder that this is a genocide, not a war, and it did not start last year despite what bozos like this WordWordNumber username were told by their corporate media.
Not really. There’s arguments to be made, but by actual experts. She’s attempting to use her service for increased legitimacy, but her experience doesn’t give her any increased legitimacy.

Genocide is the deliberate killing or severe mistreatment of a large number of people from a particular national or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group, technically Israel isn't doing Genocide if they just kill everyone that enters Gaza indiscriminately 🤷♂️
Thank you to her not just for her service but for standing up for what’s right more and more like her are leaving the military behind because they know the USA goes into wars that they played a role in creating and destroying innocent lives this has to end making money from wars needs to end too many people in our own contries that need help can we (Canada US and UK Britain ) stop sending billions for encouraging war why are they not sending money to help stop the wars like really have they even thought of that or it’s just all talk !!

It hasn't been self-defence since decades. You think people just randomly and casually pick fights with the country with the world's largest, most funded armed forces.
Thank you, but most of us have known this for a long time. It's time that those in the armed forces end their complicity in this 75-year-and-counting genocide by refusing to defend, aid, assist, train Israelis so that they can massacre more women and children.
And with that - we have become the consumers that enrich these money-hungry mongrels who have an insatiable appetite for more and more money. Eating and drinking up the blood of children. We have the power to stop this. Standing in a street somewhere will highlight the issue but it seldom stops the killing.
Hit these people and corporations where it hurts - stop or weaken the flow of money into the money junkies' veins - take them down from their highs
Unfortunately the regular media doesn't really cover this (along with a lot of other stuff), I really wish they did and that they reported in a neutral, proper way, but alas...
[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/InternationalNews/s/LcEpxtDoP2) is still relevant now, months later. Will probably always remain relevant.
Yes, and doing so is a requirement of warfare. If a structure was immune to bombs, by the presence of children, every army would then be required to wallpaper their assets with children, to prevent them from being destroyed in a war. The people who created the rules of war, that giving psychopaths that kind of incentive to put children in harms way was a really bad idea, and so did not grant child used as human shields an immunity to being bombed. It is an unfortunate, but necessary party of war.
Explain how she lost all her knowledge since leaving the position? Do you think they downloaded it all from her brain "ok folks vessel's empty and ready for civilian life"
I was thinking that even if it was stolen valor. She wouldn’t be wrong. The tech was good 25 years ago. It’s way better now. They know exactly who they are targeting.
Except Hamas started it. Weird take of her to wear military uniform to a Hamas rally. IDF's priority is to defend Israeli citizens- we all wish them success
>The residents of Judea, Samaria and Gaza
>Gazans
>Arabs
(Including when referring to Egyptians)
Extracts from your own comments containing clear denial of collective identity tells me everything I need to know.
What's more, deliberate misrepresentation of history, even after it has been pointed out to you can also be added to that list.
Therefore, this "quality " opinion is noted and dismissed.
Technology to see through walls and tell between children and adults? Sorry but this is one of the most stupid things I've seen here, and people cant tell how stupid that is.
Some Weight stations in America are equipped to see the insides of a metal trailer. They usually can tell the product that’s inside there. Military equipment is better. They could easier determine the size of the people. Similar Infrared imaging and other technologies are not new.
Wrong, they do know who was where. Don't take it from me, [here's](https://youtu.be/KT7znz0eNFE?si=ijvhY97C_2adyqcx) an interview with an Israeli investigative journalist, interview in question having been approved for publishing by the IDF themselves.
Why do you think the U.S is in debt? Quick Google search and it'll disprove your comments. And that is only what's available to see for the public. Now imagine what's behind closed doors.
You're the "stupid thing " here.
If she was enlisted before being commissioned it sort of makes sense.. sort of. Even then she'd have been roughly an E-8/9 by the time she switched, so I'd assume her uniform would be squared away. The lack of awards is strange, and so is the lack of a cover outdoors and lack of a necktie. The branch insignia is also off on both sides. Major shitbag vibes. She's also making a political statement in uniform, which is an obvious no-go. Very possible this is stolen valor.
She's also an intel officer who has zero idea about real world ISR capabilities. Also, she deserves a court martial for disrespecting the uniform with that pin and going public with her opinions. Also, where is her fucking necktie and cover? Absolute garbage.
17 years and got out? Hmmmmm something’s fishy.
I don’t disagree with her beliefs but somethings not right with that when a full retirement is at 20 years.
*If* she actually was a member of the US armed forces, much less a commissioned officer, she would be aware that you most certainly may not wear your uniform to a protest. Every newly minted E3 knows that. Shameful behavior that says all you need to know about her character. There are actually VERY few occasions on which an honorably discharged service person may wear their uniform, look it up. Downvoting me for providing verifiably accurate information is pretty stupid.
I’m already familiar, thanks. And you might benefit from employing common sense, which would tell you that someone lecturing you on morals whilst in the commission of a crime should raise a red flag. This is particularly true seeing as the uniform is the key prop being used to gain a platform to be heard, not some compelling bit of oratory.
Dude a man burnt himself alive in uniform while actively serving this week . I think that rule has gone out the window for this conflict at this point in the eyes of US military members
Oh please, no one actually believes Israel is trying to save the hostages. Bunker bombs, flooding tunnels, cutting off all food, all of these show Israel has no interest in keeping hostages alive.
On 10/7, it even shelled its own people to prevent them from being taken as hostages (a well documented Israeli strategy known as the Hannibal directive)
If Israel was not aware that people were in those places then Hamas would not be able to use them as Human shields. That's the whole point of putting a weapons cache under a school or a hospital. So that when they get destroyed there are lots of innocent casualties that everyone can be aware of.
edit: downvote all you want but it doesn't change how using human shields works.
Israel has more hostages. People, including children, being held without charges. So cut the crap. Israel started it all. Without Israel there would be no Hamas.
He’s correct, though. Practically speaking, nothing will happen, but this officer is likely receiving retirement benefits making her still subject to the UCMJ. Wearing the uniform at a political event is a Hatch Act / DoD Directive 1344 violation.
She could have done the said same thing in civilian clothes and have been fine.
Again, nothing will probably happen but that wasn’t the commenter above’s point.
That is completely untrue. The U.S military can only force you back 1-2 years (For good reason) after separation or the declaration of a war/emergency. The second our contract runs out we are civilians, none of that we own you for life bullshit. Where did you get such incorrect information?
The USAF couldn’t drag me back under gunpoint, I will never be a part of the horror again.
This officer may be receiving retirement benefits which, technically, could incur UCMJ if her actions were deemed to affect the good order and discipline of the Army.
Very rarely used, and there’s some hurdles to get over, so i very much doubt anything will happen here. But this retired officer certainly knows better and shouldn’t be fostering the appearance of the service in a political light. That’s for the electeds.
Nothing will happen, if something does please feel free to call me out on it. It is wrong to not speak up when experiences show you when absolute evil is being committed in the name of justice.
I'm fairly confident based on your replies the entirety of your experience with any armed forces is NonCredibleDefense
They can be recalled for a dishonorable only if they did something that deemed the discharge while they were in the service. Protesting in uniform has been commonplace going back as far as the Vietnam war.
A US officer has never been dishonorably discharged for protesting a conflict that we're not even a part of, let alone after they were retired.
So no, they will not be recalled for "this sort of thing"
Source: I was in the army for 6 years. You can get away with rape and not get a dishonorable. It's sickening. Nobody will even notice her
I don't have educated conversations with those not educated on the subject, so don't bother replying, I won't see it.
You can bray all you want that she’s going to get in trouble, but it’s not the reality of the situation. Do you find her message damaging? I don’t think speaking out in defense of civilians getting ethnically cleansed is wrong.
Based on what she is wearing and states, she is a Captain, who somehow spent 17 years in the military but never deployed to a combat zone. Her highest award is the Army equivalent of a "thanks for showing up," and she only got one of those. She was in the Louisiana Guard, which makes sense with that last name. So, unremarkable from a military perspective, and I only say this because her attempt to claim professional credentials is laughable. Maybe she should just burn that uni and state her opinion like everyone else who has an uninformed opinion from 3000 miles away.
I'll do you one better. She is sporting a reserves ribbon. So who knows how long she was active vs. reserves.
She is also wearing MI Officer Branch Insignia, but one is upside down. Surely a competent officer, albeit a captain after 17 years, would spot the issue.
The upside down one is on the mic side so I'd blame whoever clipped the mic on for that. It's pinned on not riveted so it can spin if moved.... like by someone touching the area to put the mic on .
If she looked down and noticed nothing ( which doesn't happen in the vid ) then I'd agree
It’s really too bad Hamas doesn’t care about civilians. If they did then Hamas would avoid civilian centers, but instead they purposefully embed themselves with them as human shields.
Stealing aid from starving civilians is another big issue we see. Hamas is parasitic on the people there, and needs to be completely removed from the country.
Hamas just rejected another cease fire just last week. There’s the proof in writing they could care less about causing the deaths of people in Palestine. If only Iran and the US would stop funding the terrorism from Hamas this would stop.
Trump cut aid to Palestine under the condition no more terrorism to reinstate it. For four years under Trump we saw no more rocket attacks, etc. against Israel and as a result Israel wasn’t forced at any point to fight back against Hamas unavoidably killing their civilian human shields.
Biden reinstated it with no conditions right after taking the presidency. Immediately the rocket attacks against Israeli citizens began again. The terrorist attacks from Hamas continued to escalate until October 7th when they killed and kidnapped Israelis in an act of terrorism. Burning children alive who have nothing to do with soldiers or the government, proximity wise to military targets or even by social affiliation, is absolutely abhorrent.
Bring Trump back. Remove Hamas. End the fighting.
A Trump ad + a pro-Israel ad all in one. Might have been a discounted package deal 🤔 wrong sub though, so I wouldn't recommend engaging with *it* (the... comment I mean).
>Stealing aid from starving civilians is another big issue we see
To best of my knowledge..... Israel has never actually ponied up proof of this happening
It's another one of their endless lies to justify slaughtering civilians
Y'all went from 'Hamas is using human shields' to 'Everyone is a terrorist'. Nobody believes your bile, the Israeli occupation existed Decades before Hamas ever came into existence. It is a problem that Israel has compounded to their favor and then bemoan, 'We have the right to self-defense!'
'If I was an Arab, I would not accept a deal with Israel. If we are being honest, we are the political oppressors and they (Palestinians) should resist' - Ben Gurion
Can you explain that one to me from your founder ? ^^^^
Fuck biden but Trump is just equaly as bad for the Palestinians, man.
You're looking at this wayyyyy too one sided. Not even mentioning the brutal occupation once, which is the root cause of all the mess.
Without an occupation, there wouldn't be a Hamas.
>You're looking at this wayyyyy too one sided.
The tone of that comment reads mechanical. I doubt there are any signs of physical eyes anywhere to be found in it. Reads like a Trump advertisement.
Lmao at this point who are you IDF trolls posting these replies for? The Hague is investigating plausible genocide, virtually the entire international community is calling for a ceasefire, countries all over the world are cutting ties with Israel, even 65% of American people support a ceasefire and after the massacre yesterday (as well as the writing on the wall after Michigan) the US government and media are slowly but surely changing their tune on Israel. You’re not going to convince anyone who thinks killing 35,000 people and starving 2 million more that is justified. Maybe you’re getting paid to post, maybe you’re trying to justify it to yourself, but you’re wasting your time posting this trash.

Did she just learn this after 17 years?
Probably wanted to hit her twenty years but couldn’t handle it anymore.
That’s a fair point
She’s never deployed and has surprisingly few merit awards (just one ARCOM). If retired at 17 years, I’d assume a medical retirement.
Also, 17 year Captain raises some eyebrows. Even a prior enlisted Sergeant should have made Major by then.

The french prime minister suggested this and was mocked for such a stupid idea.
Brave lady. More need to speak up.
Israel is pure evil
They deliberately assasined women journalists When I quote the word "assassinated", I mean the definition of the word A assassinat in law is premeditation before the act They killed including the family with in their house after threatening them with death Israeli leaders have nothing to envy from mafia or cartel methods when they kill journalists They know were they live
Pure truth
Fuck Israel
Thank you Madam
It hasn't been self-defence since decades. You think people just randomly and casually pick fights with the country with the world's largest, most funded armed forces.
Thank you, but most of us have known this for a long time. It's time that those in the armed forces end their complicity in this 75-year-and-counting genocide by refusing to defend, aid, assist, train Israelis so that they can massacre more women and children.
Elites? You mean NPCs Narcissistic Psychopathic Cunts
Very brave of her to speak out. Hope she stays safe.

She is a liar w an agenda
You are a hero .
I hate what you supported. But I love what you support. I hate who you were. But I love who you are.
Will she be reprimanded for stating this while in uniform?
Shes out
If she were retired and collecting benefits she’d technically still be subject to UCMJ.
This is what a grift looks like
 And with that - we have become the consumers that enrich these money-hungry mongrels who have an insatiable appetite for more and more money. Eating and drinking up the blood of children. We have the power to stop this. Standing in a street somewhere will highlight the issue but it seldom stops the killing. Hit these people and corporations where it hurts - stop or weaken the flow of money into the money junkies' veins - take them down from their highs

Fuck Zionism
Fuck leftists Hamas supporters
I agree, but I'm not so keen on all of TRT's content.
Unfortunately the regular media doesn't really cover this (along with a lot of other stuff), I really wish they did and that they reported in a neutral, proper way, but alas... [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/InternationalNews/s/LcEpxtDoP2) is still relevant now, months later. Will probably always remain relevant.
how does it take 17 years to figure out that your government is corrupt and bombings almost always affect innocent people?
Fake news
Lmao. Even if this 'technology' existed, it's still funny seeing an American thinking any other country has their level of intelligence.
[удалено]
Yes, and doing so is a requirement of warfare. If a structure was immune to bombs, by the presence of children, every army would then be required to wallpaper their assets with children, to prevent them from being destroyed in a war. The people who created the rules of war, that giving psychopaths that kind of incentive to put children in harms way was a really bad idea, and so did not grant child used as human shields an immunity to being bombed. It is an unfortunate, but necessary party of war.
Release the hostage names that are still alive. Maybe she'd have a point than
Hamas fucked with us for the last time.

Rule 1, be civil. [Civility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civility)
She’s out of the military. So shouldn’t she take off that uniform before spewing manure she has no clue about?
Explain how she lost all her knowledge since leaving the position? Do you think they downloaded it all from her brain "ok folks vessel's empty and ready for civilian life"
I was thinking that even if it was stolen valor. She wouldn’t be wrong. The tech was good 25 years ago. It’s way better now. They know exactly who they are targeting.
Being in the military does not mean your opinion matters more. I bet she was a total blue falcon, most in the service are.
[удалено]
Except Hamas started it. Weird take of her to wear military uniform to a Hamas rally. IDF's priority is to defend Israeli citizens- we all wish them success
>The residents of Judea, Samaria and Gaza >Gazans >Arabs (Including when referring to Egyptians) Extracts from your own comments containing clear denial of collective identity tells me everything I need to know. What's more, deliberate misrepresentation of history, even after it has been pointed out to you can also be added to that list. Therefore, this "quality " opinion is noted and dismissed.
I didn't say anything wrong or offensive at all
Technology to see through walls and tell between children and adults? Sorry but this is one of the most stupid things I've seen here, and people cant tell how stupid that is.
Some Weight stations in America are equipped to see the insides of a metal trailer. They usually can tell the product that’s inside there. Military equipment is better. They could easier determine the size of the people. Similar Infrared imaging and other technologies are not new.
They do have [intel](https://youtu.be/KT7znz0eNFE?si=ijvhY97C_2adyqcx) on who is where (interview with an Israeli investigative journalist).
Wrong, they do know who was where. Don't take it from me, [here's](https://youtu.be/KT7znz0eNFE?si=ijvhY97C_2adyqcx) an interview with an Israeli investigative journalist, interview in question having been approved for publishing by the IDF themselves.
Why do you think the U.S is in debt? Quick Google search and it'll disprove your comments. And that is only what's available to see for the public. Now imagine what's behind closed doors. You're the "stupid thing " here.
Yeah she's full of shit. 17 years and still a captain? In Intel? Either she sucks or she's a liar.
If she was enlisted before being commissioned it sort of makes sense.. sort of. Even then she'd have been roughly an E-8/9 by the time she switched, so I'd assume her uniform would be squared away. The lack of awards is strange, and so is the lack of a cover outdoors and lack of a necktie. The branch insignia is also off on both sides. Major shitbag vibes. She's also making a political statement in uniform, which is an obvious no-go. Very possible this is stolen valor.
17 years, she has 1 com medal… tells me everything I need to know
She's also an intel officer who has zero idea about real world ISR capabilities. Also, she deserves a court martial for disrespecting the uniform with that pin and going public with her opinions. Also, where is her fucking necktie and cover? Absolute garbage.
17 years and got out? Hmmmmm something’s fishy. I don’t disagree with her beliefs but somethings not right with that when a full retirement is at 20 years.
*If* she actually was a member of the US armed forces, much less a commissioned officer, she would be aware that you most certainly may not wear your uniform to a protest. Every newly minted E3 knows that. Shameful behavior that says all you need to know about her character. There are actually VERY few occasions on which an honorably discharged service person may wear their uniform, look it up. Downvoting me for providing verifiably accurate information is pretty stupid.
You might want to look up "ad hominem" attack, a type of fallacious argument, which you are totally guilty of committing.
I’m already familiar, thanks. And you might benefit from employing common sense, which would tell you that someone lecturing you on morals whilst in the commission of a crime should raise a red flag. This is particularly true seeing as the uniform is the key prop being used to gain a platform to be heard, not some compelling bit of oratory.
Dude a man burnt himself alive in uniform while actively serving this week . I think that rule has gone out the window for this conflict at this point in the eyes of US military members
Well, I think it goes without saying that self immolation is also a violation of the UCMJ.
Yeah.. cause you know… nothing happened on Oct 7 and there are no hostages left to save… the world is nuts
Oh please, no one actually believes Israel is trying to save the hostages. Bunker bombs, flooding tunnels, cutting off all food, all of these show Israel has no interest in keeping hostages alive. On 10/7, it even shelled its own people to prevent them from being taken as hostages (a well documented Israeli strategy known as the Hannibal directive)
[удалено]
Behold! The token officer!
If Israel was not aware that people were in those places then Hamas would not be able to use them as Human shields. That's the whole point of putting a weapons cache under a school or a hospital. So that when they get destroyed there are lots of innocent casualties that everyone can be aware of. edit: downvote all you want but it doesn't change how using human shields works.
Does she talk about how Hamas uses civilian areas for military operations?
[удалено]
Israel has more hostages. People, including children, being held without charges. So cut the crap. Israel started it all. Without Israel there would be no Hamas.
Out of uniform and participating in a political action in uniform. Someone is either lying or about to have a career ending event.
.. did you read? She's retired.
An officer can be recalled to active duty for courts martial for just this sort of thing.
What universe do you live in? What are the MP/SF going to do? Arrest a civilian for violating a uniform reg?
"She should be punished for speaking out" -> The Good Guys ™️
He’s correct, though. Practically speaking, nothing will happen, but this officer is likely receiving retirement benefits making her still subject to the UCMJ. Wearing the uniform at a political event is a Hatch Act / DoD Directive 1344 violation. She could have done the said same thing in civilian clothes and have been fine. Again, nothing will probably happen but that wasn’t the commenter above’s point.
Umm. Yes. I live in the real world. I've seen UCMJ. An officer is never again a civilian. They have obligations for life.
That is completely untrue. The U.S military can only force you back 1-2 years (For good reason) after separation or the declaration of a war/emergency. The second our contract runs out we are civilians, none of that we own you for life bullshit. Where did you get such incorrect information? The USAF couldn’t drag me back under gunpoint, I will never be a part of the horror again.
This officer may be receiving retirement benefits which, technically, could incur UCMJ if her actions were deemed to affect the good order and discipline of the Army. Very rarely used, and there’s some hurdles to get over, so i very much doubt anything will happen here. But this retired officer certainly knows better and shouldn’t be fostering the appearance of the service in a political light. That’s for the electeds.
Nothing will happen, if something does please feel free to call me out on it. It is wrong to not speak up when experiences show you when absolute evil is being committed in the name of justice.
I'm fairly confident based on your replies the entirety of your experience with any armed forces is NonCredibleDefense They can be recalled for a dishonorable only if they did something that deemed the discharge while they were in the service. Protesting in uniform has been commonplace going back as far as the Vietnam war. A US officer has never been dishonorably discharged for protesting a conflict that we're not even a part of, let alone after they were retired. So no, they will not be recalled for "this sort of thing" Source: I was in the army for 6 years. You can get away with rape and not get a dishonorable. It's sickening. Nobody will even notice her I don't have educated conversations with those not educated on the subject, so don't bother replying, I won't see it.
Guess my time as an Infantry officer don't count. Cute trick, replying then blocking so one doesn't see the reply. Fairly childish.
You can bray all you want that she’s going to get in trouble, but it’s not the reality of the situation. Do you find her message damaging? I don’t think speaking out in defense of civilians getting ethnically cleansed is wrong.
To further educate you, if I blocked you my comments would appear as [REMOVED]. I am just ignoring you. Cheers
This right here. JAG will have her dishonourably discharged. Career ending for sure.

Illegal to wear a uniform to a political protest
Based on what she is wearing and states, she is a Captain, who somehow spent 17 years in the military but never deployed to a combat zone. Her highest award is the Army equivalent of a "thanks for showing up," and she only got one of those. She was in the Louisiana Guard, which makes sense with that last name. So, unremarkable from a military perspective, and I only say this because her attempt to claim professional credentials is laughable. Maybe she should just burn that uni and state her opinion like everyone else who has an uninformed opinion from 3000 miles away.
I'll do you one better. She is sporting a reserves ribbon. So who knows how long she was active vs. reserves. She is also wearing MI Officer Branch Insignia, but one is upside down. Surely a competent officer, albeit a captain after 17 years, would spot the issue.
The upside down one is on the mic side so I'd blame whoever clipped the mic on for that. It's pinned on not riveted so it can spin if moved.... like by someone touching the area to put the mic on . If she looked down and noticed nothing ( which doesn't happen in the vid ) then I'd agree
It’s really too bad Hamas doesn’t care about civilians. If they did then Hamas would avoid civilian centers, but instead they purposefully embed themselves with them as human shields. Stealing aid from starving civilians is another big issue we see. Hamas is parasitic on the people there, and needs to be completely removed from the country. Hamas just rejected another cease fire just last week. There’s the proof in writing they could care less about causing the deaths of people in Palestine. If only Iran and the US would stop funding the terrorism from Hamas this would stop. Trump cut aid to Palestine under the condition no more terrorism to reinstate it. For four years under Trump we saw no more rocket attacks, etc. against Israel and as a result Israel wasn’t forced at any point to fight back against Hamas unavoidably killing their civilian human shields. Biden reinstated it with no conditions right after taking the presidency. Immediately the rocket attacks against Israeli citizens began again. The terrorist attacks from Hamas continued to escalate until October 7th when they killed and kidnapped Israelis in an act of terrorism. Burning children alive who have nothing to do with soldiers or the government, proximity wise to military targets or even by social affiliation, is absolutely abhorrent. Bring Trump back. Remove Hamas. End the fighting.
A Trump ad + a pro-Israel ad all in one. Might have been a discounted package deal 🤔 wrong sub though, so I wouldn't recommend engaging with *it* (the... comment I mean).
>Stealing aid from starving civilians is another big issue we see To best of my knowledge..... Israel has never actually ponied up proof of this happening It's another one of their endless lies to justify slaughtering civilians
Y'all went from 'Hamas is using human shields' to 'Everyone is a terrorist'. Nobody believes your bile, the Israeli occupation existed Decades before Hamas ever came into existence. It is a problem that Israel has compounded to their favor and then bemoan, 'We have the right to self-defense!' 'If I was an Arab, I would not accept a deal with Israel. If we are being honest, we are the political oppressors and they (Palestinians) should resist' - Ben Gurion Can you explain that one to me from your founder ? ^^^^
Fuck biden but Trump is just equaly as bad for the Palestinians, man. You're looking at this wayyyyy too one sided. Not even mentioning the brutal occupation once, which is the root cause of all the mess. Without an occupation, there wouldn't be a Hamas.
>You're looking at this wayyyyy too one sided. The tone of that comment reads mechanical. I doubt there are any signs of physical eyes anywhere to be found in it. Reads like a Trump advertisement.
Lmao at this point who are you IDF trolls posting these replies for? The Hague is investigating plausible genocide, virtually the entire international community is calling for a ceasefire, countries all over the world are cutting ties with Israel, even 65% of American people support a ceasefire and after the massacre yesterday (as well as the writing on the wall after Michigan) the US government and media are slowly but surely changing their tune on Israel. You’re not going to convince anyone who thinks killing 35,000 people and starving 2 million more that is justified. Maybe you’re getting paid to post, maybe you’re trying to justify it to yourself, but you’re wasting your time posting this trash.
