People are really just gonna "No that's not what he meant all the way to the gulags." Hope they enjoy leopards.

"Hitler was just a poor misunderstood guy, give him a chance, don't make a big deal out of this Poland"

I think this is just a case of NYT WANTING a Palestinian genocide so they're more than willing to sanitize the message and promote pro-genocide propaganda.

I don't think people are being genocided by leopards. Is that some lib conspiracy?

They're being murdered by bombs supplied by the USA under every administration.

Critical thought and reason Zero for you.

The real hamas were the gazans killed along the way

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 44 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Fuck NYT. I've lost all respect with their bs reporting on the genocide.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You should have seen them in the lead up to Iraq invasion. They've been training for years for this moment.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I was completely tuned out at that point. I stopped viewing any current events because the world was so terrible and I was so depressed about it. Funny that it's so much worse now and I'm still plugged in. I guess that's what happens with age and experience. You get worn down to awful news.

"Follow me and you'll have a beautiful paradise...don't, and there will be pain and torture".

Paraphrased, albeit slightly...but I'm sure I've heard this offer before somewhere. I've checked my forehead, chest, and both nipples...but can't find it.

Best comment I've seen on Lemmy. Maybe you'll find it under your small domed hat or between your elbows when on your rug as well?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 5 days ago

NYT has always been imperial propaganda. It's just become so much more obvious with their screeching support for genocide.

Imagine taking this rag seriously as anything other than disgusting propaganda.

The NYT is a piece of shit.

That said, I’d like someone from the lemmygrad crowd to explain why Harris was definitively for sure was gonna be worse than this. I’m being serious. Elucidate specifically how Harris would have been materially worse for Palestinians in general, and Gaza (and now the West Bank) in particular.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Anyone that said that she would be worse is still going to say the same no matter what Trump does. He could personally go over there and start feasting on their flesh and she would still be lacking in the two things they care about most: she is not a man, she is not white. And they know how fucked up that is. Which is why they always claim that their excuse is something else.

"NYT is just publishing straight misinformation now" Wow... is that an understatement

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wow. Everyone involved in this conflict is absolutely awful.

[–] mEEGal@lemmy.world 41 points 5 days ago (2 children)

civilians are the most involved in this conflict. don't see how they're absolutely awful

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

In this context, "being involved" means actively taking part, not merely being in the area.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

I think being genocided counts as being involved. It seems kind of disgusting to suggest otherwise.

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Weren't the hostages all returned when the ceasefire went into effect?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Edit: Made a mistake here. Removed some wrong info.

[–] Drax_@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

What about the non-Israeli hostages?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Do you mean the thousands of palestinians being held in torture camps? Many of them women and children?

Some of them will be released but their families won't be allowed to celebrate, their physical condition will not be reported by imperial media, their role as hostages won't be acknowledged, etc etc etc.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The Thai workers were released during phase one if you mean those.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I’m having trouble finding a great source confirming or denying what you say, but this article cites several remaining hostages are not active military https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-next-24-these-are-the-remaining-hostages-presumed-alive-in-gaza/

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I recalled from the ceasefire plan that phase 1 included all civilians and phase 2 would be the Israeli soldiers. Seeing that phase 1 is finished I assumed all the non-combatants have now been released. I will have to double check my statement, thanks for the heads up.

Angrest, a soldier, was kidnapped from his tank at the Nahal Oz base when it was attacked by Hamas. He was abducted along with fellow soldier Itay Chen, 19, who was killed in the attack.

lol

Edit:

I was indeed wrong. Phase one included women including active duty IDF soldiers. Hamas counts all males in IDF reservist age range as soldiers. Thanks for the correction
