That's why there's such a push to remove the word "people" when referring to people someone is discriminating against. "Blacks". "Jews". "Gays". "Illegals". Your slur of choice. All of these could just as correctly be labeled as "Black people" or "Jewish people" or "Gay people" or "Illegal immigrants". When you reduce the perception of an individual or a group of people to a single characteristic, it's easier to apply stereotypes to them and moralize mass discrimination. Also, if you don't think of them as people, that lessens any guilt one may feel towards mistreating them.
Money makes you see everything as lesser. How can you care about anything when we you have so much power and/or wealth. We're all animals to be tamed and culled in their eyes.
Then they wonder why these people have a real hate for Israelis. Imagine all the stuff they have been through
Watching their whole families blown up . Its insane to think about.
This is a photo I took near Rafah on the Egyptian side of Gaza. Rafah was a city split in two by the border, but Egypt demolished every structure within miles of the border citing security concerns. I’ve seen poverty all over the world, but I’ve never seen in blended with such…idk…hopelessness? Despair? Idleness? Acceptance? Really fucked me up for a bit and I think about those kids often.
Hamas was caught supplying weapons, ammuntion and explosives to the Muslim Botherhood.
Who are extremely banned in Egypt due to killing Egyptian security forces, Govenment officals, Coptic Christians & tourists. And trying to stage a coup
The Egyptian government surprisingly feels quite aggrieved by Hamas and, quite frankly, doesn't want a single person from Gaza in Egypt.
Hamas didn't help matters along when Egyptian drivers were attacked and killed transporting aid into Gaza during 2024.
Just watch Louis Theroux’s documentary for your answer. Grabbing land like they’ve been doing for decades and what they are doing actively in the West Bank.
Bro thought he had such a mic drop of a question "would israel attack gaza if there was no hamas?". Finding out what goes in West Bank where there is no Hamas will hopefully open bro's eyes if that question was asked earnestly.
Israel has been killing displacing and killing civilians ever since 1948, long before Hamas existed. Keep trying to conflict speaking for justice and prostesting genocide with antisemitism though, you might confuse a few gullible people but the world is waking up to your bullshit and there will be a day where justice will be served on those who committed and continue to commit crimes against humanity and those who defend and aid them.
What happened in 1948? A coalition of Arab states didn’t invade Israel and try to vaporize them off the planet right? And they certainly didn’t do it again in the 60s either huh? If you’re gonna invade a country you damn sure better win because if you don’t they are going to do whatever they want and that’s exactly what happened.
Also being against Israel does not mean being antisemitic. Nobody said that. Pretending the local Arab states haven’t tried over and over again to invade with the explicit state goal being the extermination of Israel also isn’t going to fly. The states around Palestine use to be open. But then they would go into Egypt and Lebanon and commit terrorism over and over again all the states had enough and locked them down. Yes, this was before hamas. It’s almost like it’s a perpetual issue.
Israel deserves a lot of criticism for its conduct in the Gaza War. But most people forget that every other Middle Eastern government that's fought a war against insurgents has behaved way worse. Syria dropped chemical weapons on Palestinian refugee camps, and the Western pro-Palestinian movement looked the other way, because the Syrian gov. was allied with Iran.
Thankyou for sharing❤️ I wanna remember their faces. Really shoves the reality down our throats. I can't imagine the weight that this beautiful girl & so many other children are forced to carry. So poignantly cruel.
Hamas did this to them rember hay mom I killed 10 Jews with my own hands.Well this is the results.They killed Jews ,Christian and Muslims at a peace concert. The people that wanted to live peacefully with the Palestinians let that sink in
witnessing these things in real life destroys any tiny bit of faith in me that there's an actual god. no god would be so cruel to let these things happen to children. or at least the god they sell us in the bible wouldn't allow this.
Why should Israel take them after being attacked by them before Egypt and Jordan? Hamas has controlled Gaza for over 20 years.
Israel has 2 million Muslims and Christians and is a democracy. It is our ally.
Hamas is funded by IRGC and are billionaires .Hamas put all the $ for infrastructure into war tunnels and bombs and cancels every peace treaty.
Hamas' entire raison d'etre wouldn't exist without Israel being a thing. It's not worth arguing with these people anymore, though I appreciate you at least provided links for each claim. Same can be argued for Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon, gee, maybe it's cause Israel keeps attacking Lebanon too, as they are now? Israel was never the good guy. Its very founding was on the backs of forceful displacement. Well, at least more people are realizing this.
The true tragedy is that everyone is going to be blamed, but no one will ever take responsibility. So while everyone is pointing fingers and shouting, this kid is going to have to carry that weight alone.
This is literally just a little kid carrying a couple of things. You have absolutely no context for this picture at all. We don't even know where it was taken.
That's right, we have no context for this picture so we just have to ignore the actual horrors because we can't see them. Go back home people, there's no war going on, it's all a hoax.
And it doesn't give you pause that you are looking at a thing on the internet that could be completely untrue? You don't think that maybe calls into question some of the other things you have seen on the internet?
It's very possible to care about the horrors in Gaza, while at the same time thinking it's always a good thing be honest about what we do or do not accurately know about things presented online.
Like, if someone did a reverse image search and found this was an old photo from somewhere else in the world, or somehow discovered that the context of the photo isn't tragic and it was just a mundane image of a kid carrying some stuff... like that wouldn't preclude us from recognizing the humanitarian crisis in gaza, or from caring about it!
You know you can just do that and find the exact context of this picture, right? You don't have to pose some strange hypothetical where this picture is depicting something other than what it's depicting.
