Apparently, Israel isn’t as bad as Russia because their military is more competent and their enemies are less-competent.
I’m sure the families getting bombed think so, too.
Not disparaging you, but it seems weird to me that people compare Israel and Russia, no matter who they consider worse in the end. Israel isn’t Middle East Russia; they’re Middle East Nazi Germany. The scale is completely different.
I would make fun of it, if people wouldn’t be dying. Israel has massive joke potential recently. Not gonna make the same mistakes as Chaplin tho.
I’ve seen more praise for Chaplin for actually making fun of Hitler publicly where Hollywood still had business interests in Germany and wouldn’t really speak out. IIRC he got a lot of shit for it even though he showed the dramatic mannerisms and stupid ideology in full view.
He paid for the entire movie himself, as no producers would make anything that would depict Germany as bad due to Germany being a big market for American movies. Behind the bastards podcast has a great episode on Hollywood and Nazis.
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Yeah, sadly no one wants to follow Chaplins foot streps.
You should check out recent articles from The Onion. They have absolutely pulled out all the stops and gone full-IDGAF.
The UN is naive as to the true motivations of Israel.
Pshh what is the UN going to do? “Hey if you guys keep doing this we’ll sanction ketchup imports in 3 years”.
I said they’re naive, let alone accomplishing anything. Israel has had their knife in the UN’s back since before the beginning.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Using on-the-ground footage, satellite imagery and mapping software, a Sky News visual investigation found that Israel’s evacuation orders have instead been chaotic and contradictory and that a neighbourhood in Deir al Balah was hit one day after the IDF said evacuees could flee there.
“This is exactly why we as the UN have been saying that there is no safe place in Gaza,” Ajith Sunghay, head of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, told Sky News.
The Musabeh home lay in the heart of Deir al Balah, less than 300 metres from Shuhada street - a road explicitly marked by the Israeli army as a route by which civilians could safely reach the city.
The footage below, captured by Gaza-based journalist Yosef al-Saifi, shows the immediate aftermath: a woman and two children calling for help on top of the ruined home, a street covered in rubble, and a car on fire.
Preliminary research carried out by Airwars, an organisation specialising in the verification of airstrike casualties, found online tributes to one of those killed in the attack, Mohammad Kamal Abu Musabeh and further posts about the injured infant Layan.
Brian Finucane, an expert legal adviser with the non-profit International Crisis Group, says that there is a requirement on warring parties to provide effective advanced warnings to civilians, where feasible.
