Tankie preemptively dismissing evidential reporting from UN findings about Gaza by suggesting they are antisemitic
That guy is not a tankie tho? Do you have some actual proof he is tankie?
He is just an Israel shill and a genocide apologist.
Loves running around fediverse endlessly crying about "antisemetism" while promoting killing Palestinians.
Classic Israeli supporter.
I am admittedly being lax with the definition, but they are certainly defending an authoritarian state and their atrocities committed in service of an ideological state project.
but they are certainly defending an authoritarian state and their atrocities in service of an ideological state project.
that's just a generic authoritarian. tankie specifically shill perverted version of communism based on Lenin/Stalin/Mao, excusing their crimes and glorifying history of USSR as something that was good.
They do side with Palestinians on this issue, mainly because Israel is supported by Imperial US.
"Tankie fuckwad archomrade doesn't understand the meaning of words, news at 11"
I say "doesn't understand", but of course, as Sartre pointed out, fascist cunts don't believe in the meaning of words, only in pursuing their own fascist goals by whatever abuse and disingenuous misuse of language they can get their hands on.
I thought tankies generally liked to point out the hypocrisy of the Western "rules based order" and generally took the side of Palestine or even Hamas in this conflict?
This looks like garden variety hasbara to me.
I am with this person on this
not defending the 40k number by any means because no one really can source its information correctly, but the reason why a decent chunk of the deaths in palestine are children is because the average age of Palestinians is very low (~18), so in terms of wiping various buildings down via explosives statistically speaking, there will be people under 18 in that explosion.
how many of them are under 10 will be a TBD state till after the conflict, but its definitely reasonable to assume a chunk of minors died in the conflict simply by law of averages and how the targeting is done.
There are a bunch of reasons why the death toll is so hard to pin down, but a big one is that Israel has been denying access to Gaza for most journalists, as well as a suspiciously high death rate among journalists who have been allowed in. The few that are allowed inside are escorted by the IDF and aren't allowed to venture outside their supervision.
That said, the most recent reporting from Gaza suggests that the official numbers are being wildly under reported, and could be as high as 118,908 or greater.
All of which is utterly unsurprising, considering the vast majority of bomb targets have been civilian buildings and infrastructure (Hamas is always lurking somewhere inside, apparently), and that ~60% of Gaza has been damaged or completely destroyed.
You should study the Warsaw uprising. That's the situation in Gaza. Everybody knows somebody in Hamas or affiliated with Hamas. Because Israel effectively sealed off the strip and closed all of The crossings years ago, the only way to get goods in and out is underground tunnels that lead into Egypt. Those tunnels are owned, operated and controlled by Hamas. This forced necessary daily goods to be moved underground through those tunnels as well. That commerce enriches Hamas. It also makes them indispensable to the community. So there is a large amount of the population that deals with them on a weekly or daily basis. Not all of them are fighters but they're all affiliated. Israel has mostly forced them into that situation. So yes they are firing on Hamas members. However, they also forced a large amount of those people to become Hamas members. It's a real damned if you do damned if you don't situation because you're an acceptable casualty. If you're a bystander and they hit someone that is a Hamas member.
Which is why the only way to ever start unfuck this situation is to provide an economic base and opportunities for the people there some magical organization to provide employment in education and not be biased to the population and not to be influenced or run by Hamas or its affiliates. If only there was a super rich oil Nation right there that believes in most of the same things as the people in Palestine that could help their brothers out.
I can't put my finger on what is going on here... but are we moving definition of a child to under 10?
Also, is it acceptable that half of dead are children if half of Gaza are under 18?
This is a weird ass comment lol
Yeah that guy’s shitty but he isn’t a tankie. More of an alt righter
You don't understand, 40 trillion people died
Actually those are Hamas numbers, only 40 people died.
Sorry I downvoted your comment about liking this comm last week, you don't have to have piss fit and pretend to not know what the word tankie means about it
