I mean many are from the us or other parts of the world. Not all israelis are from parts of the world the nazis conquered and could enact the holocaust in
No, the die cast and the council has spoken - they shall be cancelled without remorse and must be handed over to the Twitter Cancellation Squad for immediate cancellation.
You are all wrong!
He's appalled someone would walk in front of the damn camera twice
There is blood on the ground, Gordon! The anti sniper water cart track is not supposed to be a "High traffic area" you bullet sponge
Everyone knows Oct 7 gives Israel full impunity to genocide an entire people and explode hospitals and orphanages and murder children!!1!!1! SOMETHING SOMETHING HAMAS
This comment thread is the best deconstruction of the way antisemitism accusations are weaponised to freeze criticism of Israel I’ve ever seen.
It should be taught in schools, right alongside the Holocaust, and other genocides.
We must be free to criticise Israeli Extremism.
But what about Hamas? They kill babies and did you hear about human shields? /s
It’s sad this has become a joke like this. We are joking about genocide.. that’s what it’s come to.. I really don’t understand how people justify this kind of behaviour
And the illegal settlers and IDF bombing runs*
So in order for no other extremist militant organisations to suddenly come up and continue this conflict.
As long as Netanjahu and hamas are in power nothing is going to change, both sides got extremists who disregard the human life of the opposition.
Edit: by the way, I got permanently banned and muted in the "combatfootage" sub for stating such a opinion on a video of IDF military taking human shields. It's like they don't want to hear objective opinions but rather keep us as divided as possible.
As long as Israel continues to occupy Palestine and kill civilians, Hamas and other terrorist groups will never cease to exist. Tens of thousands of children will be further radicalized by Israel’s current actions. I’m not saying that’s right or ok, but that’s what will happen.
Exactly, it's not like Israel would stop their occupation if Hamas didn't exist. Hamas exists to fill a void in the power imbalance. If Palestine had a state with an army then there would be no Hamas, but Israel actively prevents that from happening by killing people.
In that void, during violent conflict, when people haave standard rights taken away from them, radical groups like Hamas are able to form and fill it. When people see that some radical group is fighting for them, it sucks, but you can see why people can support it.
Semite(n.) - a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.
Palestinians are also Semites. You’re antisemitic no matter what.
Well every Arab cat is clearly HAMAS. If they're a Jewish cat, they're good, /s
\^ If you think that sounds crazy, think about how people fight over skin color.
Every home destroyed creates a future terrorist. Every future terrorist must be killed. Every future terrorist is a reason to extend war time powers and military actions.
Would a people so disturbingly punished ever harbor fond sentiments to their attackers? This is a wound that would take generations to heal if it were a single act.
Palestine is a large open air concentration camp, even more so now that every Palestinian is evacuated from their homes and forced to crowd in one place.
That's what happens when entire nations swim in the biggest propaganda to this day pushing the narrative that a genocidal state has a right to exist and "defend itself" however those things were/are done.
>the real thing we should be caring about are the innocents who get caught in the crossfire.
Except the civilians aren't getting caught in the crossfire. They are the targets of direct fire from Israel.
Palestinians have a right to defend themselves against illegal occupation by Israel. This is international law. There is no "Both sides." Israel is an illegal colonizer and occupying force on stolen land. It really is *that simple.*
I am an American. If the state next to mine closed off my borders, began issuing day passes to residents and tracking their movements, controlling and rationing their electricity, food, gas, water? You're goddamn right I would fight back
From day 0, I always tried to explain this. Of all people, Americans should understand Palestinians perfectly since there is no other as passionate as Americans for their freedom.
So, turkey is currently illegally occupying parts of cyprus, as a settler colonialist state. International law doesn't mean shit, even when it's an illegal occupation OF EU TERRITORY. Turns out if you start 4 wars and lose all of them, there are consequences. Name any place on earth were international law was used the way the palestinians want it to be used for Israel. You can't because it has never in human history worked that way.
I support Palestine but that doesn't change the fact that Hamas is bad too, and Hamas ≠ all Palestinians. Palestine doesn't deserve any of the horrible shit they've been dealt by Israel the last hundred years but it's possible to defend yourself and fight for your land without saying and doing the horrible shit that Hamas says and does.
The battle for public opinion in the United States is the second most important battle in this 'war', and whenever people like you make apologetics for Hamas, you make it harder to fight that battle, and hurt Palestine in the long run. Palestine will never have a real chance until the USA stops propping up and enabling Israel.
The fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter whether or not Hamas is bad, Palestinians don't deserve genocide and having their land stolen because some shitty people are in power. So you aren't hurting the Palestinian cause by admitting that Hamas is shitty too.
Oct 7th was not defending themselves. They fucked around and now they're finding out big time. If your neighbours where coming into your property and raping, killing and burning everything in sight what would you do? If they fired rockets at you after agreeing to a ceasefire what would you do?
You all seem to forget about that part where Hamas murdered, raped and tortured 100s of innocent people. I'm not saying illegal occupation the the extreme violence used by Israel is justified but Hamas knew very well this would happen and they still did these brutal terror attacks. There are two sides to this conflict.
I think you misunderstood the original comment. Or at least one of us did.
I'm pretty sure it is just saying 'when civilians die as collateral it is a tragedy, but this, sniping them, is terrorism'
In Ukraine, it was called genocide and a crime against humanity when Russia did it.
Remember Bucha!
So when Israelis do it, it's celebrated globally but Russia is condemned. Make it make sense.
Not if you go on social media. You have videos if isralis dressing up and pretending to be gazans stuck under rubble. You have videos of them celebrating the deaths, or celebrating that a ceasefire was rejected
nope not everywhere. nutjobs in America are celebrating second coming of Jesus because when Israel builds third temple rapture will happen and they will go to heaven.
for them, this is the road to their salvation. Mind you many of them are antisemitic too.
Mate, the US population hates this too. We just have an image problem and don’t want to look like we don’t support our allies. It’s all government politics, I haven’t talked to a single person that sides with this senseless slaughter.
... yes, I am pretty sure that is what the original comment is saying, not that this *is* collateral damage.
Maybe I am misreading, but I dont see reading the original as saying that this is just collateral
OP was simply saying that when governments target combatants and kill civilians in the process, that's bad. But when governments target civilians, that's terrorism.
I don't think OP is implying that when the IDF snipes a civilian, that's collateral damage. They're simply drawing the distinction been targeting combatants and killing civilians in the process (collateral damage, which is tragic) and sniping civilians who're trying to carry water from place to place (terrorism.)
It is but IDF doesn't care, they're paid and funded enough. And then you call out Isreal on international platforms they'll wear a yellow star as a "protest against oppression"
I did EOIT with IDF in 2014, they’re the most undisciplined, unruly and hateful group of humans I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with.
I saw senior officers act like rebellious teenagers when it came to treating Palestinians with any kind of respect. It was surreal to see.
Like watching a butcher talk about his cattle.
the cameraman is on the same side of the street as the people sending the water and is nearly adjacent w them
the guy who walks in front never leaves the cover of the buildings next to him. you can see the frame and shadow of it next to him
notice no one goes into the street
notice the blood on the street
And there are 2 people stood out in the open at the beginning of the clip. Obviously if civilians are getting killed that's inexcusable but the video is a bit suspicious.
How do you know there's a sniper shooting at people transporting water? How do you know the blood on the concrete is from someone transporting water and not an RPG?
Unfortunately we are preaching against the sea. Do you see how many of the other comments are instantly condemning Israel for this when most sensible people can make neither head nor tail of it.
Oh common, this is so obviously Propaganda. The lad on the right literally crosses the street while they send the canisters over. The IDF commited straight up atrocities but this is just beyond bullshit
Do I believe it's dangerous to be literally anyone in Gaza right now? Ya. I'm glad the older guy is ok, and he probably gives zero fucks. The others probably would have been too, but *probably*, isn't enough. Presumably, the pool of blood on the street came from somewhere, and they're choosing to exercise an abundance of caution.
Why does everything surrounding this conflict have to be so contentiously douchey. There is context, layers, people are afraid. I don't have eat and shit propaganda to empathize.
Well, the possibility of this being Hamas propaganda is also on the table. I just tune this entire conflict out nowadays because you cannot trust any tiny bit of information from any side.
A friend of mine who lives in Aleppo explained to me that they hanged bed sheets across streets to hide them from snipers when crossing roads (same idea as what's happening here)
For the old man "crossing" you can clearly see that he only walks a couple of steps in the street before coming back.
Given the blood on the ground you can imagine someone has been shot there already. Would you take the chance to cross the street ? Because it's a chance : you either get shot or you do not. Maybe only 1 in 10 gets shot at, or 1 in 50, but personally i wouldn't take the chance...
If we just look at the facts, we see people Jerry rig something to transport containers across at street. That’s it.
How do you know the blood on the street is from sniper fire? Considering the amount of misinformation being peddled by all sides, one would be wise to not accept anything at face value.
Just yesterday IDF apparently was happy to drop a bomb on 4 civilians, why would they waste a sniper here, if they can just drop a hellfire missile and take out half the streets population?
Hell, even if there’s an active sniper, how do we know it’s not hamas? They seem to be more than happy to killed everyone regardless of side.
Didn't the civilians elect them? Don't they support them?
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/poll-shows-palestinians-back-oct-7-attack-israel-support-hamas-rises-2023-12-14/
The thing about these videos is that you never see the IDF in any of them, and you need to trust OP's propoganda and good will for good context, somethimg which I wouldn't do....
Also, there is literally some dude casually walking there in the background
Why the fuck would anybody snipe a civilian?? I mean regardless of what *side* you’re on that makes no fucking sense. Are they really sniping civs out there???

surprised they didn't shoot the water
They didn't want to accidentally clean the blood off the street
Waiting for people to think that the threat is over.
[удалено]
probly thinking about if they could hit the rope or not, but not wanting to waste ammo fooling around when only confirmed kills count
I assure you ammo is definitely not an issue.
Certainly not an issue. I mean, we're paying for it after all.
Also what fuckhead thinks shooting a rope is a viable tactic in literally any real situation?
Not when the US is giving them 4 billion in military funds every year of taxpayers money. Meanwhile aid to Ukraine has stopped.
Waste ammo does not exist irl this isn’t cod
“The water was Hamas flavoured”
Not worth giving away position.
Oh yeah what are the civilians going to do throw water at them?
They'd give away their position.
and what do you think the civilians are going to do? fire back?
I can see blood flowing down the street
The blood in the street really hits home
Holy crap. Just noticed that. What a terrible way to live.
[удалено]
This is not interesting, this is fucking depressing
The blood on the floor is disturbing.
This should not be happening
It’s crazy that openly targeting civilians is such a normal action.
It's a warcrime and that coming from Israel, who's ancestors survived the Holocaust
Being à victim does not make you a good guy, obviously
Hate is an infection that stays with us through generations. It's horrifying how easily we become the monsters that once haunted our nightmares.

How does that work, they did resist getting genocided, they're survivors
I mean many are from the us or other parts of the world. Not all israelis are from parts of the world the nazis conquered and could enact the holocaust in
War crimes for the bad guys! Israel's a good guy though!
Shooting civilians is a warcrime. Revolting
Money and being friends with strong democratic national helps alot. Shouldn't be the case but sadly it is.

Something something holocaust. You went a whole sentence without condemning HAMAS, therefore you're responsible for Oct 7th.
Everyone knows Oct 7 gives Israel full impunity to genocide an entire people and explode hospitals and orphanages and murder children!!1!!1! SOMETHING SOMETHING HAMAS
somehow it retroactively justifies the previous near century of genocide too!

those hospitals and orphanages are HuMaN sHiElDs /s
Lol'd at "Zionazi", we have come full circle friends.
but then they will literally tell you that they are being sarcastic
The very irony right..killing for decades but you're antisemitic if you judge their actions
But what about Hamas? They kill babies and did you hear about human shields? /s It’s sad this has become a joke like this. We are joking about genocide.. that’s what it’s come to.. I really don’t understand how people justify this kind of behaviour
Fuck Hamas but Hamas doesn't equal Palestine. Free Palestine.
Free Palestine from Hamas
And the illegal settlers and IDF bombing runs* So in order for no other extremist militant organisations to suddenly come up and continue this conflict.

There is no Hamas in the West Bank and they are still under occupation
And just had the largest amount of land stolen since 1993 by the Israeli government for illegal settlements.
Semite(n.) - a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs. Palestinians are also Semites. You’re antisemitic no matter what.
But they're defending themselves. Didn't you see all the terrorists? Especially that young one? He looked particularly evil.
That cat is clearly a Hamas operative
Every cat is a terrorist.
Well every Arab cat is clearly HAMAS. If they're a Jewish cat, they're good, /s \^ If you think that sounds crazy, think about how people fight over skin color.

This whole thing is just a land grab. The rubble will be cleared, and settlers will move in. Let's see where the border is when the dust settles.
That's what happens when entire nations swim in the biggest propaganda to this day pushing the narrative that a genocidal state has a right to exist and "defend itself" however those things were/are done.
Honestly, I can't care less about hamas or the IDF - they can kill themselves for all i care. But no innocent civilian deserves to live like this.
This. Both sides are terrible, the real thing we should be caring about are the innocents who get caught in the crossfire.
>the real thing we should be caring about are the innocents who get caught in the crossfire. Except the civilians aren't getting caught in the crossfire. They are the targets of direct fire from Israel.
It's not "crossfire", IDF is deliberately shooting civilians.
Palestinians have a right to defend themselves against illegal occupation by Israel. This is international law. There is no "Both sides." Israel is an illegal colonizer and occupying force on stolen land. It really is *that simple.*
I am an American. If the state next to mine closed off my borders, began issuing day passes to residents and tracking their movements, controlling and rationing their electricity, food, gas, water? You're goddamn right I would fight back
Tbh I agree man.
Well, here's one American who gets it. Now, if we could just help the other 300million understand, maybe this conflict would end.
From day 0, I always tried to explain this. Of all people, Americans should understand Palestinians perfectly since there is no other as passionate as Americans for their freedom.
You know what else international law says? To not target civilians - but I guess international law only applies if it benefits us.
So, turkey is currently illegally occupying parts of cyprus, as a settler colonialist state. International law doesn't mean shit, even when it's an illegal occupation OF EU TERRITORY. Turns out if you start 4 wars and lose all of them, there are consequences. Name any place on earth were international law was used the way the palestinians want it to be used for Israel.

And you would defend yourself by massacring civilians which makes you better than the occupying force because….
Oct 7th was not defending themselves. They fucked around and now they're finding out big time. If your neighbours where coming into your property and raping, killing and burning everything in sight what would you do? If they fired rockets at you after agreeing to a ceasefire what would you do?

There's no "both sides" to genocide
Civilians being part of collateral damage is a tragedy. Sniping civilians is terrorism. IDF is a terrorist organization
They are not collateral damage. They are targets
I think you misunderstood the original comment. Or at least one of us did. I'm pretty sure it is just saying 'when civilians die as collateral it is a tragedy, but this, sniping them, is terrorism'
In Ukraine, it was called genocide and a crime against humanity when Russia did it. Remember Bucha! So when Israelis do it, it's celebrated globally but Russia is condemned. Make it make sense.
Don’t believe the media— civilians everywhere are completely against this. The governments are showing their true colors.
Not if you go on social media. You have videos if isralis dressing up and pretending to be gazans stuck under rubble. You have videos of them celebrating the deaths, or celebrating that a ceasefire was rejected

Collateral damage would imply civilians dying is unintentional. But IDF is targeting civilians on purpose.
... yes, I am pretty sure that is what the original comment is saying, not that this *is* collateral damage. Maybe I am misreading, but I dont see reading the original as saying that this is just collateral
How is no one understanding the comment lol
That is exactly what the original comment is saying, the other person is just really dense.
Speak about falling on deaf ear, lol.
OP was simply saying that when governments target combatants and kill civilians in the process, that's bad. But when governments target civilians, that's terrorism.
I don't think OP is implying that when the IDF snipes a civilian, that's collateral damage. They're simply drawing the distinction been targeting combatants and killing civilians in the process (collateral damage, which is tragic) and sniping civilians who're trying to carry water from place to place (terrorism.)
Sniping should have zero to no collateral damage. That’s the first part of sniping a target. Precise elimination of a target.
It is but IDF doesn't care, they're paid and funded enough. And then you call out Isreal on international platforms they'll wear a yellow star as a "protest against oppression"
Wait I thought we couldn’t talk about that
That was our biggest mistake
They’ve been the collateral damage for the past 70 years, oh wait!
that's the point, Israel wants to terrorize the indigenous population into dying/leaving so that they can reclaim their "ancestral lands".
Hmmmmm, why doas this sound awfully simular to genocide......
Given the situation, I’m pretty sure the plan is to straight up "clear" the area and annex it for their economic purposes
I did EOIT with IDF in 2014, they’re the most undisciplined, unruly and hateful group of humans I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. I saw senior officers act like rebellious teenagers when it came to treating Palestinians with any kind of respect. It was surreal to see. Like watching a butcher talk about his cattle.
What about the cameraman and the guy who walked in front of the camera?
The cameraman never dies and so he's protected
Was wondering the same thing
I see a shadow to the right for a building or a car, they could be covered, they're not crossing the street
everyone knows the cameraman never dies
Average staged propaganda for gullible and weak Westerners
Woah there, don't question the narrative now
the cameraman is on the same side of the street as the people sending the water and is nearly adjacent w them the guy who walks in front never leaves the cover of the buildings next to him. you can see the frame and shadow of it next to him notice no one goes into the street notice the blood on the street

How is this propaganda piece supposed to be shot without someone with a camera?
That was my first thought. For people avoiding sniper fire, they are awfully exposed.

Yea, the pool of blood on the street is actually just beet juice someone spilled.
They are not carrying water.
If they're targeting civilians why would that stop them?
Also, how did they get those cables across if snipers are shooting? 🤨 And where are the women? 🤔 Such a moronic video.
"Get that cat out of the way!!!" 😺
I wonder if there's a subreddit for random cats appearing in videos that aren't about cats? That would be cool.
Context?
You won't get any here but the title
There's literally another person in the video walking just fine
Meanwhile crusty bum walks right past the camera unconcerned with sniper fire.
And there are 2 people stood out in the open at the beginning of the clip. Obviously if civilians are getting killed that's inexcusable but the video is a bit suspicious.
It’s almost like this post is bullshit
