Israel made a soldier who raped prisoners to death into a celebrity, this is not at all surprising at this point

There are so many videos of Israeli soliders storming hospitals to kill wounded whom they suspect were militants.
They execute them inside the freaking hospital while receiving treatment on hospital beds. Those are unjustifible institutional war crimes by the israeli government itself.. not decisions made by rouge IOF soldiers

Maybe he thought they were medicinal bullets?

I mean, they did stop the pain.

Guys, it's fine. They were not Jewish, the combat medic's code is only about harming humans. It would be dumb if the medic was hungry and disallowed to kill an animal to eat

Do you get paid a salary, or is it a commission per post/comment on behalf of the IDF?

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling this genocide what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will know this was a genocide

And you will have to live with the fact you supported a genocide

You will have to lie whenever it comes up and pretend you believe it's so awful what Israel did, knowing full well you supported and enabled it the whole time

The poor guy was defending his land. Hebron is not Israel. What the fuck do Israeli soldiers do there?

Sorry, you think Arabs made a village and called it “Hebron”, the Hebrew word for “alliance”? And that the Cave of the Patriarchs is there because…?

You know Hebrew and Arabic are both descended from an older, common semitic language from the same region? It's a shared culture you twat of course they have similar words.

Looking at your comment history, you seem to lack both self awareness and reading comprehension. I said it was descended from a common language and culture, I made no claim on where the word or language actually originate. You come off as a contrarian troll only commenting for the sake of arguing, I think you are projecting a bit in calling me an ass.

crashfrog@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 1d (1 reply)

It’s not descended from a common culture. That’s something you just made up.

How are you this ignorant and saying I lack self-awareness? Holy shit

"The Semitic languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family. They include Arabic, [...] Hebrew, [...]" - The literal Wikipedia page on Semitic languages

This is stuff you can search in 3 seconds, but you continue to argue, fruitlessly. Why? What motivates you to spend your time on this? The point is lost.

Palestinians was Arabized many of them are descendent of Jewish converts and intermarriage between arabs and palestinians
