You starve people for months, no water, no safe living places, absolute terror from Israeli-American bombs and you have this. This is like WW2 type of crimes Israel is doing and most of the non-Western world sees this.
You starve people for months, no water, no safe living places, absolute terror from Israeli-American bombs and you have this. This is like WW2 type of crimes Israel is doing and most of the non-Western world sees this.It seems to me the actual cause of the massacre of Palestinians (and who knows how many Hamas instigators were in the mix) was having the aid trucks driving in willy nilly and not having any means for crowd control. You couldn't ask for a better way to create a riot over who gets food and who does not. What happened was much like throwing raw meat into a pack of penned up starving dogs.
Israel supporters are worse than even American foreign policy supporters because they have total control over a population. So that means that since Israel has total control over a population, they are 100% responsible for all the deaths and destruction of the Palestinian, along with their American allies. Blaming Palestinians is like blaming some poor Afghan villager because America bombed his village.Not at all. It's the folks who are in charge of distributing the aid that's responsible.
This is how agency is removed from Hamas.U.S. Central Command and the Royal Jordanian Air Force conducted a combined humanitarian assistance airdrop into Gaza, CENTCOM said in a statement.
The IDF are war criminals and commit genocide because that's the Israeli policy. Their society believes that Palestinian people are animals and deserve constant punishment. They want to take over Gaza period but that is not all - they want to punish the Palestinian people because they hate them so much. You say the hate is mutual? This is true but read history first. From the moment of Israel's founding, with the help of the UK first and then America later, it has been just land stealing and killing the native people of the land. So the Palestinians have a legitimate right o fight back, no?
Violating intimacies
Israeli soldiers have photographed themselves posing with the lingerie of Palestinian women they have displaced or killed in Gaza. They join a long line of conquest images, from Abu Ghraib images to the spectacle of Jim Crow-era lynchings.mondoweiss.net
Read this please and tell me the IDF are regular soldiers and NOT war criminals and genociders:
"It was the tongue that stopped me cold. The tongue and the savage, shit-eating grin on the soldier’s face as he and his buddy mug for the camera. Look at us! Look what we found. It’s a bra, a woman’s bra, a Palestinian woman’s bra left in a home she was forced to flee. And now it’s ours, and we’re going to play with it because we can, and we’re going to take it on the street and pose with it and show the world who we are, frat boys pumped for genocide.
There is something unspeakably vile and infantile about the images of Israeli troops circulating on social media showing them posing for pictures with intimate apparel pilfered from the bedrooms of Gazan women. Amid the daily onslaught of murder, deprivation, and forced starvation, not to mention images of mutilated Palestinian children, here are Israeli soldiers beside themselves with self-congratulatory glee, gallivanting around snatching bras and ogling panties.
How could they? But of course, they could. Of course, they would. While most militaries strive to present at least a public veneer of discipline and self-control, the IDF is charting a new course in the socially grotesque, delighted to revel in the foulest behavior aimed at total disregard for Palestinian life.
But these images, showing soldiers playing amidst their dirty work, shook me more than others. The video of women IDF soldiers dancing awkwardly with Gaza crumbling in the background was more pathetic than painful. The soldiers blowing up a building for their IG livestreams was brazen cynicism. The soldier who made a how-to video showing how he defecates in a plastic bag because there is no water in Gaza toilets, and then throwing that bag casually amid the rubble, was just plain disgusting.
There is another picture circulating. It shows an IDF soldier with a box of new white jeweled dress high heels, which he’s looted from a Palestinian woman. He’s going to bring them home and give them as a present to his woman instead. A souvenir from a genocide.
My mind focuses on the texture of the shoes, the intricate design, and the dimensions of the box. I travel to a place where I can see the woman who bought those shoes. Maybe she was planning to wear them for the wedding of a son or a daughter, or maybe she was going to celebrate her own anniversary or wanted something special for an upcoming family gathering. I eliminate the soldier from the frame and instead hold her close in my thoughts away from his prying hands.
During the 1948 Berlin airlift, there were 2.5 million people in West Berlin. It took 500 planes with 10-ton capacity every day.
| this isn't an attempt at feeding anybody, its providing cover to the protracted starvation of the population by claiming they are providing aid. |
Yea. That is so true. Just as powerless as the rest. It is a humiliation.

Like they're on spring break, except celebrating the destruction they've wreaked. I don't know another people/country in today's world that are so sick and twisted. This is like WWII Japanese level of twisted, how much pleasure they are taking in this.
The IDF are almost all war criminals, as is Netanyahu.
Just say'in that the background not matching the ground the soldiers are posing on seems a bit suspicious. This coming from my experience as a tortured photoshop user from way back when.
well, there is you. Your pretty sick and twisted in the amount of pleasure your taking in this picture.Like they're on spring break, except celebrating the destruction they've wreaked.

seriously, are you that ignorant?
Any soldier, any combat zone, is always giddy to survive. 100% of the time. It has nothing to do with politics.
Do you even think conscripted IDF soldiers care about politics on the pointy end? Are you delusional?
Yeah.. Nazi troops were giddy to be alive after corralling 3m Jews into the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942.Any soldier, any combat zone, is always giddy to survive. 100% of the time. It has nothing to do with politics.
Clearly never looked north and seen Russians.Like they're on spring break, except celebrating the destruction they've wreaked. I don't know another people/country in today's world that are so sick and twisted. This is like WWII Japanese level of twisted, how much pleasure they are taking in this.

How an AP photographer made this image of Israeli soldiers taking a selfie at the Gaza border
Tsafrir Abayov has been covering the border between Israel and Gaza for 20 years. When he saw a group of soldiers taking a selfie from the high vantage point, not the usual tanks in position, he knew he had a photo.apnews.com
Have at it.
The DOF seems pretty legit for that kind of zoom. Considering there looks to be a big dropoff right after the soldiers and the background this starts much farther back, it's not unusual.So if the photo is legit and if he used Photoshop, the photog did a lot of post processing by desaturating the background further to highlight the foreground. As well, he saturated and vibranced the foreground for even more separation. It also looks like he maxed out his aperture on the lens so a 100-400 lens is typical @ 4.5 for maximum bokeh, and probably further blurred the background while sharpening the foreground for more separation with in-app unsharp mask or third party tool like Topaz Sharpen AI. Probably adjusted the background/foreground a bit further with brightness/contrast and shadows/highlights. Of course, this a considered guess as far as post processing goes. Lots of layering to do with that amount of processing going on. Altogether a nice composition, just not raw.

Of course it's not raw, there is always some post. But like you said, we have no idea.
But yes. Great composition that shows their inhumanity.
