International West Bank thread

And so it goes on. You pick your team and cheer for them. Facts don't come into it.

The difference is, my team is winning. Hamas have been obliterated. Gaza is rubble. Hezbollah has been crippled and Iran humiliated. And anyone who protests too much is branded a terrorist or has their career destroyed.

Everyone has to have a coping strategy when reality is too much to think about.

Exactly. You cope by telling yourself - and anyone else who will listen - that things like human rights, international law etc - actually matter. And that it's only a matter of time before outrage at IDF war crimes forces them to stop.

Whatever gets you through the night, brother. ;)

Nah I don't think anything will stop them. It's all meaningless performative hand wringing from insincere bodies with no power.

The world we live in is completely immoral and fucked.

Doesn't mean I have to bend over and pretend to like it just so I can cope.

Well on that, at least, we agree.

The difference is, I don't give a fuck.

The whole fucking world's on the fast track to Hell, man. We may as well make ourselves comfortable and enjoy the ride. 😈
 
Stone throwing.....
Or even better - ask someone to hit you with a rock, preferably with a slingshot

Stone throwing.....
  • On 5 June 2001, Yehuda Shoham, a 5-month-old baby, was killed when a rock hurled by stone-throwing Palestinians crashed through the window of the car he was riding in, crushing his skull.
  • On 23 September 2011, Asher (25) and Yonatan Palmer (1) were killed when the car Asher was driving was attacked by stone-throwing Palestinians, causing it to crash killing him along with his infant son.
  • On 14 March 2013, the Biton's family car was attacked, near neighboring village of Kif el-Hares, with stones which caused it to get out of control and collide with a truck. Adele Biton was critically injured along with her mother and 3 sisters who were moderately injured, and died two years later.
  • On 13 September 2015 Alexander Levlovich was killed by thrown rocks that caused his car to swerve out of control in a Jerusalem neighborhood

I've seen the moronic argument that home made rockets made out of pipes that are easily intercepted are worthy of war planes blowing up civilians, but stones...

Fucking lol

You don't have to pick a team. This is like Man Utd Vs Man City for me. Both a set of cunts but I don't want either of their fans to get killed (well maybe Liam Gallagher)

Well, not everyone wants to be a victim of an "easily intercepted rocket" or a stone, especially over the course of 80 years.
Unless you're a cuck.

When it rains, people get wet.
That’s nonsense. The Israelis have been stealing peoples homes there for decades now and have been ramping it up. They aren’t doing it because of the 7th. The West Bank is not run by Gazas and they did not participate in the attack on October 7th. I don’t see how you can really cheer this one on especially when your response is basically admitting that they’re innocent

Not so much cheering it on as not giving a shit. When the IDF start killing people I personally care about, then I'll have a problem with them. Until then, I'm #TeamChosenPeople.
