I've literally seen videos of children's bodies being carried with a missing head, having bullet holes through their face, or having mangled bodies. I've seen videos of Palestinians trying to get food while getting shot at and hiding behind rubble. I've seen videos of civilians getting shot right in front of their children and hit with bombs while minding their own business. And I'm so tired of seeing people in suits up on a stage without a care in the world saying "it's not that bad" with a straight fucking face at every single thing going wrong in this world.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No you see those are totally fake videos edited by Hamas to garner sympathy, the reality is that all Palestinians are bloodthirsty savages who'd gladly kill any and all innocent israeli if given the opportunity!

Hillary, most likely. But also, /s on my part if it wasn't obvious.

Oh really, Hillary? So why did a good portion of the rest of the world say on record that Israel is committing genocide? They all watching the fake videos too?

[–] flamiera@kbin.melroy.org 54 points 1 day ago

Shut up, Hilary, you loser.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 94 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Hillary has always been an out of touch, pro war hawk. It's one of the reasons Trump won in 2016.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump is also a war hawk but convinced people he isn't

See Iran, Argentina, etc

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (4 children)

Right, but in the context of 2016 it wasn't known if he was while Hillary was known.

Israel is just too valuable an ally for the empire. Why would America turn against it's own child: a genocidal liberal democracy displacing brown people?

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 6 points 23 hours ago

It's the flaw of hierarchial power structures. They always calcify to serve themselves. Not the people they're supposed to serve. Look at North Korea and China assisting Russia's imperial machinations in the Donbas and Crimea. None of them (all similar power structures. Not just the ones I named) are our allies.

Here’s a longer version that gives a little additional context to the quote:

“A lot of the challenge is with younger people. More than 50 percent of young people in America get their news from social media. So just pause on that for a second. They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that’s where they get their information.”

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, somebody who voted for war with Iraq because she thought they had WMDs is worried about other people getting faulty information on the mideast? That's cute

This does not make her look any better, especially when the deaths as reported by legacy news are undeniable. They literally require cult-like levels of self delusion to think killing thousands of kids and leveling a city isn't objectionable.

The true cowardice is that they're doing genocide denial instead of admitting that "the 2 million Gazans isn't enough." The only way you think this is acceptable is if you think Israel doesn't just deserve a homeland, but ethnostate. That the Palestinians are just like the native Americans, "in the way of destiny."

Because listening to talking heads regurgitating corporate propaganda is so much better, right?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago

Social media is also corporate propaganda.

Did somebody tell her how Biden (and traditional outlets) fell for the "decapitated babys on october 7th hoax"?

[–] shapeofthings@piefed.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the problem is more that 80% of older Americans get their news from Fox, as well as the fact that 95% of Americans think everything can be dumbed down into a 30 second video and their opinion after watching it carries the same weight as someone who spent a lifetime studying the issue.

And yes Hillary always has been a pretty terrible person. But Trump is so so so much worse.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 23 hours ago

How many decades of study does it take to come to the conclusion that 'Israel was right to detonate pager-bombs' and not deserve shit for it?

That is to say not every greybeard academic is immune to shit takes.
