Course the fucking clown didn’t watch the video. Guy has no understanding of sectarian violence and apartheid at all.

Do you think it’s appropriate to run around with fireworks in the middle of an armed conflict?

Especially if it’s what you idealistic, online types say and it’s a “genocide” and an “apartheid state”, do you really see any other way this would end?

It’s in the west bank not in Gaza. These IDF terrorists are there illegally to begin with.

Do you think it’s appropriate to be in medical facilities to treat your wounds in the middle of an armed conflict?

That gets people shot in Gaza now too.

Tell me you know literally nothing about the Palestinian conflict without telling me you know literally nothing about the Palestinian conflict.

If a 12 year old child cannot play with fireworks, it’s an apartheid state.

So here’s a challenge for the non-fucking clown. Take the fireworks, got into the police station and set fire to it. See how that goes for you. Shithead.

Wow, cool comparison. Now what would happen if you were at home and the police entered your property and you set off a firework? Would you expect to be gunned down in your home? Because that’s what IDF is doing to Palestinians. The whole country was their home, then they got relegated to Gaza, which is now their new home, currently being invaded and attacked by fascists.

I saw the video, he was firing fireworks towards what looked like a fenced border wall, likely manned with soldiers.

Should that fence and other shit be there? Probably not.

Should you be shooting fireworks at armed fortifications during an invasion? Definitely not.

That kid resisted the invasion with the tools he had, he fought and lost.

Regardless, it’s a stupid thing to do. Am sorry for the loss of life, but I didn’t expect anything else to happen. Go during any protest and do the same, in any country. And see how the police reacts. You’ll be the first target for water cannon or batons. Idea of having potentially hazardous thing pointed at you makes them a priority target. Simple as that.

Given your participation on this thread, I doubt that.

That’s your right. But your doubt means nothing, especially doesn’t mean I rejoice every time number of civilians die.

why does protesting, which is essentially just saying “I don’t like thing” justify immediate violent summary execution of a child? You can’t get any more twirly mustasche bad guy than that.

World News

!world@lemmy.world

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
