It's shocking to me that there are still "people" that support this so called country.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Jeeze, do they just target civilian locations exclusively?
This is actually indicative of follow up strikes. A war crime meant to discourage health workers from evacuating wounded after an air or artillery strike. It's not something that just randomly happens.
More war crimes, for fuck sake.
In less than one week Israel has killed more Lebanese people than the total of Israelis in the past year including October 7.
Going forward let's swap " Nazi" for "Israeli" to describe despicable acts of racist inhumanity.
No. Israeli is a nationality. Nazi is a political ideology.
They're Zionazis.
NaZionists
Why do the people of Israel never try to riot or protest against these war crimes they commit?
Remember when the Israeli public did riot and protest and stormed a police office, because they wanted the military to have the right to gang rape random people.
True.
Israel has put great effort into tying judaism with zionism. The people that went to school in Israel (but also some jewish people abroad through jewish educational programs sponsored by Israel) learn that any attack on Israel is an attack on jews akin to the holocaust, and that all Palestinians want to kill all jews. Israel as an apartheid state has also been very attractive to racist people who do not care and even welcome a genocide of the people they consider to be ‘lesser’. Israel used that to advertise to such alt right people so that they can continue to violently colonise more Palestinian land. The people that do not condone apartheid and genocide were more likely to leave in the last decades (if they were able to) leaving those still there as a minority.
Netanyahu’s popularity rose with the invasion and large scale bombings of civilian targets in Libanon. That should tell you enough about what most Israeli’s think of the genocide.
Have you seen videos of interviews with Israelis or translated some Hebrew Facebook posts? The whole society is sick. They would cheer this on and demand more violence.
There are protests that are being severely repressed against Netanyahu's government. Don't generalize an entire people; it's the same propaganda as saying that all Gazans are terrorists.
No.
There are protests against the hostages not being recused.
Show us a protest against the genocide and war crimes.

There are tons of anti-war protests in Israel. You're just not hearing about them because you don't bother to look.
You're only proving me right here.
Tens of thousands of Israelis have protested in Tel Aviv demanding a Gaza ceasefire deal and the return of hostages held by Hamas.
They are protesting to bring the prisoners home and return to their normal lives, they are not protesting against the warcrimes being committed.
I see a "Bibi ~~def~~Ender of Israel" sign in that second screenshot you posted. Doesn't sound like those guys are too happy about Bibi or the war.
How about unless you know every Israeli, you don't just paint them all with the same brush? The people are not the government, and Israeli protesters are being suppressed with extreme violence: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-06-21/ty-article-magazine/.premium/israeli-police-crack-down-on-protesters-with-violence-false-arrests-and-surveillance/00000190-3a6a-dea6-add5-faea16460000
This shit needs to end, Bibi is going to start World War Fucking Three at this rate, but do not for a second believe that the Israeli population is united behind him. They're not, no matter what the poll numbers Bibi approves for publication might say.
in this case you would imagine that it would be easy to show an organised anti war, pro peace movement in Israel?
sure. none of these are really significant though are they?
Hmmm yeah nah. most Israelis are supportive of rape against Palestinians, supportive of the war in Gaza, Supportive of the wider Zionist project.
They're protesting against the consequences of their actions.
I'm sure there are some in Israel who might not approve but I feel like the vast majority approves of this. You don't decide to live in Israel unless you're Zionist.
They do. You just haven't bothered to look: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c722pyj1zm1o

2nd verse, same as the 1st.
Wow, Terrorists are penetrating into the country in every aspect
