The photos are graphic. They show men, women, and young children in defenseless positions, many of them shot in the head at relatively close range.

The photos are literally this comic except the kids are killed too:

There is no difference between how Israel is conducting itself Gaza to how the US conducts itself in all its wars.

Death to America

      I dunno, the inevitable implosion of the American empire is some modicum of justice but I agree to little too late

    There is no difference between how Israel is conducting itself Gaza to how the US conducts itself in all its wars.

    There’s a bit of a difference: Frequency. In all of its wars, the US has committed horrific crimes like this.

    But the worst crimes the US commits that get media attention, investigations, and even arrests (later cleared by Trump and Mattis, but there were arrests) are Israel’s standard operating procedure.

    What the US does a handful of times per war, Israel does on a daily basis as their primary goal.

      even arrests

      Nobody in this article saw prison. Not a single murderer

      There’s never been any actual justice for the immense amount of war crimes the US committed. In Iraq, a group of reporters were massacred by an Apache pilot, who then proceeded to massacre the medics who tried to save them. The only person to even get arrested for this was Chelsea Manning who blew the whistle on the event

      There seems to be a kind of reveling in the cruelty in Israel that most of the US lacks. They are currently actively making the guy who participated in and endorsed rape of Palestinians into a TV-personality.

      I don’t think they are far beyond the US though, if the US was in the ME they’d also revel in it, but as it is the distance makes it easier to ignore.

      What the US does a handful of times per war, Israel does on a daily basis as their primary goal.

      What the fuck are you talking about? US troops regularly raped and massacred entire villages in Vietnam. My Lai was not an isolated event, it was standard operating procedure.

      Then there’s Korea, where we destroyed every building over three stories tall and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.

      During the Filipino-American War, American troops regularly looted homes before shooting and killing any civilians who tried to surrender or who got in the way. Over 1,000 people were massacred in Titatia. Just look at this photo where Americans massacred a different town:

      Women raped and stripped of their clothes. Dead kids. Americans grinning and standing over their kills like they were on safari.

      What about Abu Ghraib? The “kill team” involved in the Maywind District Murders?

      The rapes and murders of Hadeel and Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi? Or how about Eddie Gallagher that murdered a 17-year-old kid and got pardoned for it?

      No seriously: who the fuck are fooling with “a handful of times per war?” The US is every bit as cruel as Israel and revels in the atrocities it commits. The distinction doesn’t even matter anyway considering a bunch of “”“Israelis”“” are US citizens.

    There is no difference between how Israel is conducting itself Gaza to how the US conducts itself in all its wars.

    The genocide of Palestinians is one of the US’s wars. The US makes extensive use of proxies.

      Didn’t mean to imply it wasn’t really, only that the US military doesn’t differ to the IDF in terms of kicking in doors and murdering innocents. The US covers it up while the IDF seems to just own it proudly though.

      When the U.S. sends an American soldier, it doesn’t send the entire of America and it doesn’t matter if he’s from the marines or the navy, an IOF member is simply a different unit

    Is there a way to see this beyond the paywall? I’ve been listening to the latest season of In The Dark and it’s fucked, but I would love to see the restricted images.

    And remember this massacre wasn’t unique, this is what likely happened in every village U.S. soldiers set a foot in.

      The ones that labelled them are the “good” soldiers that wanted to document and bring light to this too! I shit you not.

      Hundreds and hundreds more events like this occurred that were never documented, or if they were the army managed to keep them under wraps.
