We have all seen the video of her broken body being paraded through Gaza and the people spitting on her. Hamas did that and they brought death and destruction to Gaza.

I mean, the main start of the conflict was over 70 years ago. I’m not sure if Israel really comes out looking that much better.

They unilaterally declared themselves a state and ended up expelling over 700k people from their homes. They even utilized biological warfare, poisoning wells with typhus.

While there have been crimes against humanity committed by both sides, the reason people focus on Israel is that they are in the sole position of power. Palestine has no way to barter or negotiate, and when all other forms of discourse are eliminated, then the only option is violence.

I legit know people that signed up just to “kill some sand you know what’s to get pay back”. That’s fucked up yes. And wrong.

This is news because she was one of the first videos that went viral that day. And to this day there are still people denying it that she died and that she is home safe. There was even a so called interview with her mother who said she was alive. They even went so far to say the truck video was them bringing her to a hospital (ya know because you beat half naked in her underwear body with your sandals to administer first aid).

The Internet used “her being alive” as one of the first propaganda pieces to try to paint the photo that nothing happened Oct 7 and Israel are all liars.

Turns out it’s exactly as the videos made it look. Just like the woman being led into a jeep with dark drried blood all over the ass of her pants was probably bleeding from mass rape even though the Internet tried to find every excuse for their behaviors.

Nope it ain’t, and it’s mostly sensors and cams. Guards weren’t missing, it was religious holiday and most of the IDF came back home. A lot of paragliding recreations occur often and Hamas used this opportunity to their advantage. I know these things because I know few people who work in the IDF. I’m not jewish but I live in Israel for my job. The wall is mostly fence, and only in important places it’s a wall.

I assume you know that more than half a million Palestinians cross that border every day… it’s not that strict. Although from now on it might be

i assume a lot of it is high tech and sensor based, that can all fail with hacking or bad interpretation of the data. Also, the infiltrators likely first flew over the fence and possibly disabled parts of it once they were inside to allow others to come in the conventional way.

I’m very saddened to hear about the death of this young woman. I’m also sad to hear about deaths of many, many Palestinians. I do not think it’s coincidence that Hamas decides to launch a major offensive in the midst of talks with between Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize relations between the two after many years of relative peace. We can’t have peace in the Middle East because it doesn’t serve the ends to the major regional powers.

Both sides in this conflict are used as pawns for the political ends of others. Innocent people are those that get caught in the midst of it all. Hamas didn’t do this without a green light so as much vitriol being spilled in this thread we have to take a step back. These fights have been brewing and going on for generations. If you take the short term view much of the strife we see today is the fallout from WWII and that is used as leverage by other nefarious parties.

It’s not the Israeli people’s fault they do not have a home. It’s not the Palestinian people’s fault they do not have a home.

Some of the comments in this thread are sickening, hateful, narrow, and short-sighted.

I don’t think it’s right to nonchalantly compare the Palestinians as the citizens of a nation and Jews as an ethnic group. It seems a bit… racist?

From what I understand it’s not the Palestinians fault they don’t have a home, and that’s in large part due to Israeli Zionists.

Palestinians weren’t citizens of a nation and than got invaded by Zionist Jews someday. Israel, Gaza and Westbank (now called Palestine) were created in that area which was called Transjordan at the time. And Israelis and Palestinians come from a similar group of people who has ancestors in the area.

The influx of Jews to the area was a result of World War 2 and the exile of Jews in some of the surrounding countries.

You are seen as a “Palestine refugee” btw, when your father was a Palestine refugee. It’s not exactly a citizenship.

Take a breath. This is a human life that ended. Have respect and don’t diminish the loss. One day you will die too, and you would want people to treat your passing with respect and honor, not a talking point.

I am not diminishing her death. At this stage, it is indecent to talk about her death - and use it by the way in the most grossy way - while the Israeli army is stomping civilians, like deaf.

If they wanted to save her, the approach would have been:

  1. to cease bombing OR
  2. be real men and going on the field, not killing kids.
