One of the most terrifying images in history: Gaza transformed from life into death.

[iwein@mas.to]

@leeloo i think it's best to reject crimes on their own merit.

Israel did this. It's a war crime and a genocide. They stand accused by the ICC and rightfully so.

Bringing up Oct 7, or the Holocaust just provides irrelevant distractions from the very clear legal and ethical reality.

There's no excuse, no debate, no comparison, just judgement and punishment for them. The only place this should be allowed to be defended is in court in the Hague.

@WindOfChange If you think so. One other already blocked me for being a zionist. I don't think, that I am, but those blocks make my life easier as well. Have a nice day nevertheless.

@streetartutopia Unless there's a fixed webcam that's miraculously stayed in place there despite every building around it being leveled then this is AI generated. Both images have pixel-perfect identical framing, which is impossible to achieve years apart even in perfect conditions. Given the abundance of genuine photographic evidence of the destruction of Gaza it seems unhelpful to spread AI-generated approximations that risk feeding zionist narratives about fabricated evidence.

@ojelabii @WindOfChange @streetartutopia yea well I get called an antisemite a lot and blocked too. Just take it in Germany being called a zionist is a lot less harmful than being called a antisemite. I take it it might be different if you live in Ireland or Spain. Get used to it people are not rational with this topic, which is understandable considering the mountain of corpses we are talking about.

@streetartutopia
An utterly evil genocide primarily paid for by american taxpayers. The USA is a demonic state.

You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.

@zeri Oh, I'm fine with it. I just don't think, that I qualify by definition with that term. (And to to be honest: I knew what to expect, when I firstly responded here. Still: I think that speaking with each other [rather than blocking each other away] is the only way to end conflicts really.) And yes, I'm careful with giving out labels as well (or at least… I try to)! So no label for you here, I'm afraid. Have a nice day and thanks for the time you took for this!

@ifrauding @leeloo the planned, industrialised annihilation of people is exactly what Israel is doing to Palestinians.

[henry@radikal.social]

@streetartutopia wonder which type of munitions can cause this specific very interesting pattern of damage to electrical poles

[ojelabii@norden.social]

@Walruths Agreed, wholeheartedly! Yet I don't see this in conflict to what I wrote above.

@ifrauding
The best thing about your comment - it is not clear to me which you are calling a war and which you are calling "planned industrialized annihilation of people".

The latter fits both. Though I would argue that WW2 was more of a war than the genocide in Gaza, but you sound like someone who would call tanks and fighter jets murdering unarmed civilians a war, no matter how proud that would make Joseph Goebbels.

[leeloo@c.im]

@iwein @streetartutopia
No. Calling such comparison "irrelevant distractions" is exactly how fascist defend supporting one genocide while condemning the other.

@streetartutopia hate it when the IDF bombs my 1x1 red wooden outhouse and turns it into a 4x5 concrete ruin

[hoare_spitall@mastodon.world]

@streetartutopia I will never again find a good word for Isreal, unless it's a horribly fitting one. Call me anti-semitic if you wish; this statement has nothing to do with the Jewish religion. All you do is prove how poor your knowledge of the English language is.

[mjc0961@mastodon.social]

@henry Exactly what I suspected. Thank you.

[cyrille37@mamot.fr]

Thanks @streetartutopia for this. May I reuse this picture ? If yes, whats the source for citation ?
Thanks & regards

[iwein@mas.to]

@leeloo i haven't seen that one in the wild, but if I do I will call it out.

I've seen a lot of hasbarra accounts bringing up Oct 7 or the Holocaust to frame this war crime and genocide as self defense though.

Let's just take them to the Hague and leave the arguments to the lawyers and the judging to the judges?

[paulnickson@mastodon.social]

@streetartutopia This image makes me equally sad and incandescently angry.

[leeloo@c.im]

@iwein
Unless you have personal contacts who can do that, no, we need to keep shouting until our own politicians get the message.
