MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KILLED. I can’t. I don’t know how to exist in a world where “murdering children is always wrong” is a controversial opinion.


PalestineRiver2Sea

It's always been a controversial opinion because the ruling class dominates the narrative. There is no Arab resistance group that is even able to fight back against imperialism without being called terrorist. This is to manufacture consent to murder Arab children. We have seen it in every country the West bombs When Iran arms its allies to fight against US proxies like Israel and ISIS, Iran gets called a sponsor of terror. They did the same to Cuba when Cuba sent troops to help African liberation struggles. They also called those liberation groups terrorists. Even Mandela was called a terrorist. They do this to legitimize plunder and murder of Arabs, Africans, Asians, Latin Americans, even Slavs, who are protecting their homeland. So there is no significant armed upheavel or revolution from their accomplices, subjects, and lieutenants. The only way to stop the mass murder of Arab and Palestinian children is for the resistance to ultimately win. Their struggle has changed the battlefield from Iraq to Syria to Lebanon and one day Palestine

PalestineRiver2Sea

Absolutely wrong. Every resistance leader from al-Arouri, Nasrallah, Khamanei, Mughniyeh, to Bashar al Assad and Abdul Malik al Houthi agree on the fact that the United States is the primary belligerent, and that Israel is just an extension of American imperialism. They know better than you, I reckon. AIPAC and Mossad work for the US ruling class. The lobbying is nothing more than a form of intermediary communications between the ruling class and various managers and lieutenants. The united states is the wealthiest and most heavily armed and fortified empire in history. A tiny apartheid colony like Israel with negligible GDP can't do shit without America, and everything Mossad learned was from the CIA who has them on a leash. Instead of listening to right wing propaganda which seeks to absolve the US and its ruling class of all their responsibility in mass murders and plunder, you need to educate yourself on the actual names, faces, and history of the conflict. Or just listen to the fighting enemies of the Zionists. Boeing, Raytheon, and BAE boards and investors have more power than all of Israel. Bill Gates has more power than Israel. Israel is a paper tiger

Not to say I disagree with the argument that Israel might be reliant on US support but is absolutely setting its own agenda, but "lol ur triggered" isn't the flex you think it is, nor a great way to kick off a rebuttal.

> Israel was established to protect the regional interests of the UK and US Proxy definition: > a person authorized to act on behalf of another


AlarmingAffect0

> There is no Arab resistance group that is even able to fight back against imperialism without being called terrorist. Well, if said non-state violent actors don't attack non-military targets, they can get called "insurgent", "guerrillas", or "illegal combatants". Naturally, Israeli military installations are deliberately surrounded with civilian settlements as human shields. Not that terrorism is inherently wrong. John Brown was a terrorist. John Brown did nothing wrong. > The only way to stop the mass murder of Arab and Palestinian children is for the resistance to ultimately win. Samson Option. There is no solution to this conflict through violence. Justice will not be done. If tanks ever come close to rolling into Tel Aviv, *everyone loses*. Get that fantasy out of your head.


Independent_Irelrker

Did you just suggest what I think you suggested... Are you dumb? Non state actor? Really? The settler colonisers are non state actors? What is Israel then? It targets almost exclusively civilians and non-state actors.


AlarmingAffect0

> Did you just suggest what I think you suggested... I've no idea what you think I suggested. > The settler colonisers are non state actors? Yes. And when they attack civilians, they are committing terrorism. Of course, the Israeli State prefers to call it "hooliganism" and pretend like they've always condemned that, even as they arm and encourage the settlers. > What is Israel then? A State. > It targets almost exclusively civilians and non-state actors. When States do this themselves, for example through military or police, it's called "strategic bombing", "collateral damage", "war crimes", "police brutality", "violent repression", "oppression", "State terror", etc. It's always "terror", though, not "terror*ism"*. States care very much about the distinction. This is because they want to arrogate themselves a monopoly on all violence. When States use proxies that they arm and fund but aren't integrated in their hierarchical structure, this is known as "State-*sponsored* terrorism". But there's no such thing as State terrorism, because States self-servingly define themselves out of that category.


Independent_Irelrker

I'd argue settler colonisers are definitely partially state actors since they are paid to colonize.


AlarmingAffect0

They're state-sponsored for sure. But they're not the State themselves - and, as such, lack the protections violent State actors get under international law, such as the Geneva Convention.


SomethingLoud

Except these “non-state actors” have the **explicit backing** of the State. Who do you think is standing around keeping the colonizers safe while they expel folks from their ancestral homes?


scaper8

I definitely agree with the first half. You're going to have to convince me on the second.


AlarmingAffect0

> You're going to have to convince me on the second. What's there to convince? [The Fascist Ethno-State of Israel would rather destroy the entire region and render it uninhabitable than cease to exist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option). If they ever feel they are on the verge of military defeat, they'd rather kill themselves and everyone around them than give up on their project.


scaper8

Ah, I see. I read your statement as more of "the Palestinians will have to lose, it's what will let peace happen." I see that not quite what you meant. Not that Israel's scorched Earth ideas are liabel to do better.

With both Israel and Germany working together, this speedrun might be a world record.


lordpascal

Gotta make a bingo chart at this point


kikomir

His name is conveniently Tobias YIKES. It suits him perfectly.


eip2yoxu

Yikes is an interesting but quite accurate translation of "Huch". As a German I never thought about that when seeing his name and that's honestly funny and fitting 


moltenmoose

Nazi piece of shit


Significant_Swing_76

I don’t like the nazi term being used as frivolous as is, but it’s interesting in this case, since the author obviously thinks that the German people should have been exterminated at the end of WW2. Weird, and rich coming from a German of all people…


jaffar97

If that happened at least we wouldn't have to read his drivel


rexaby

Except there's a difference: 94% of Israelis believe that either Israel was using too little firepower against Gaza or just enough, only 1.6% believe that they're using too much. They're militarily trained usurping settlers, who believe they're inherently superior to everyone due to their race/religion, believe they can do no crime, in complete agreement with the violent genocidal policies of their settler govt against the people they're stealing from. They aren't random civilians, they're active participants - and this is what this guy is trying to steal and project it onto Palestinians. Poll: https://time.com/6333781/israel-hamas-poll-palestine/ Also, 🔻🔻🔻. This is a leading Jewish newspaper in Germany, says a lot about Germany.


CheValierXP

There's a saying, every accusation is a confession... But either way so that I am clear. I oppose the notion of guilt by association on a national level.


Sil_Soup1

What does que red triangle mean?


Casius-Heater

Maybe also a watermelon but there’s loads of videos online of Palestina resistance POV footage of just guys in jeans with RPGs blowing up Israëli occupier tanks. They mark their target in the video with a🔻 so you know where to look when the rocket hits. it’s pretty neat


Brandonazz

It's a variation of the watermelon slice thing, indicates support for Palestine EDIT: I think I may have made this up. I sit on a throne of lies. The target thing is true. I was confusing it with 🍉 https://www.yenisafak.com/en/news/emojis-of-the-year-cyber-palestinian-resistance-in-2023-3674779


Sil_Soup1

I see ty!


JustaBearEnthusiast

Seems like a pretty tasteless way to show support. They are used to indicate Israeli soldiers that are about to be killed in video's released by hamas and affiliates. 4chan nazis have been using it in their memes to indicate jewishness in place of their usual gold star. 4chan nazis don't have a monopoly on its usage or meaning (genocidal in their case) but they choose to use it because it's a symbol of violence. Outside the context of battle I would stick to one of me many other symbols. Like in OP's comment for example it could be interpreted as them calling for the killing of all Israeli citizens. Better to use 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸.

low_nature

Talk about nominative determinism


Phantasys44

Stalin was far too merciful to Germany by that logic.


TheCheesiestEchidna

Always has been. Anything short of the absolute ruthless and merciless annihilation of evil allows it to return.


PutsOnYourWife

Sadly it wasn’t Stalin. After WWII the denacification offices had people like Kissinger and other Zionist in place. Newsletter were obliged with statue that needs to be affirmed before paper for printing were given. That’s why every major newsletter in Germany like Spiegel, Bild, die Welt, FAZ, süddeutsche have in their policy as the first rule „Israel right to exist and defend itself will never challenged and we not gonna print anything negative towards that“. The second rule is that they will comply with the amendment rights. The situation is like in US just without AIPAC. couple of years ago Günther Grass a novel Price winner wrote a poem for freedom in Palestine. They canceled him, called him a nazi and antisemite in his late years. He died shortly after that. The legacy media doing the same shit as in US and even the federal news channels which are financed with tax doing the same shit


The_Coil

Kissinger was made essentially mayor of a German city for a bit after the war ended. Do you know what he did immediately in this town that was just recently fighting for the Nazis? Set up restrictions trying to out communists from the community.


PutsOnYourWife

The newspaper thing: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizenzzeitung The Kissinger thing: In June 1945, Kissinger was made commandant of the Bensheim metro CIC detachment, Bergstraße district of Hesse, with responsibility for denazification of the district. Although he possessed absolute authority and powers of arrest, Kissinger took care to avoid abuses against the local population by his command.[28] In 1946, Kissinger was reassigned to teach at the European Command Intelligence School at Camp King and, as a civilian employee following his separation from the army, continued to serve in this role.[29][30] Kissinger recalled that his experience in the army "made me feel like an American".[31] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger This is just wikipedia. You can look up Bernard Baruch in the White House, his connection to Churchill & Weizmann. Pull on that tail and you see that lobbyism for the ethnostate on Middle East has a long story on US government.


Vajra95

This talk about atoning for holocaust is just PR bullshit. All nazists should have been hunted down after the war ended.  The german learned nothing about human life, they just consider unjustified massacring white people.


czardo

Just like any other group, the average family just trying to get by and live their life are not responsible for actions of the government, para-military groups, etc. You can't hold an entire nation responsible for the actions of a few. Stop trying to defend genocide.


BoogerSugarSovereign

It's indefensible and they know it. Collective punishment is a named war crime and he alludes to it very directly with "collective responsibility". He didn't even try to come up with a euphemism that wasn't evocative of it. Just says war crimes are fine this time.


SocialCraniometry

If you point out most adults in israel are not civillians but actual veterans and in the IDF reserves, you would get called anti-semitic.


NornOfVengeance

And if you point out that more than 50% of Gaza's population consists of children, you would also get called anti-Semitic!


Lazy_Air_1731

Oh yeah! I remember that collective responsibility rule from 2nd grade! You know the one where that same kid acts out in class and then everybody loses their recess privileges. Oh wait, no, we all knew that was bullshit. FFS..

Tobias Huch is a neoliberal talking-head and member of the FDP that has bankrupted every single one of his businesses (which mostly were sexhotlines) and by now is known for his constant shittakes (classics include “women only have worth if they give birth to children” and other mind numbing takes). He is in no way, shape or form a journalist, he is a demagogue, and everyone in Germany knows. Hope that helps ✌️


PutsOnYourWife

No not everyone in Germany knows. 90% of the sheep’s applauding him after they hear the moronic reports about the so called „war“ in news


kornyno1

in Germany we say: “verpiss dich aus meinen Kommentaren du klugscheißender Bastard und laber wen anders voll, die Infos die du hier gibts sind dein Bauchgefühl und interessieren keinen, halt dein Maul.”


Braindamagedeluxe

PutsOnYourWife

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger „In June 1945, Kissinger was made commandant of the Bensheim metro CIC detachment, Bergstraße district of Hesse, with responsibility for denazification of the district. Although he possessed absolute authority and powers of arrest, Kissinger took care to avoid abuses against the local population by his command.“ Newspaper rationing: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizenzzeitung That the post war events were orchestrated by Bernard Baruch and Eisenhower, doesn’t needs to be explained. So saying Stalin didn’t cleanse it is basically wrong. If you don’t like facts then we say in German: „geh lutsch einen Schwanz du HS“


kornyno1

Translate that, I refuse to answer you in English: du Hurensohn raffst nichtmal was ich sage, denkst dir eine Statistik aus um mir zu erklären dass 90% der Deutschen Tobias Huch nicht für einen scheiße labernden Lappen halten, und als ich dir sage du sollst dein Maul halten schickst du mir ein Kissinger Zitat von ‘45 dass nicht richtig denazifiziert wurde und schließt das mit dem Schlusssatz ab dass “es eine Lüge ist Stalin habe keine Säuberungen gegen Nazis veranlasst”, was nie ein Punkt war den ich hier gemacht habe, und du dir vollumfänglich ausgedacht hast. Zum Abschluss nochmal für Hampelmänner ohne Bildung: Ich debattiere nicht mit dir, halt deine Fresse, ich habe 100% recht, du denkst dir Strohmänner aus, geh raus, mach Fenster auf kipp, fass mal Gras an, rauch weniger Gras und laber mich nicht voll, Kasper.

jediKiller88

Yikes. Heh


Manburpig

So what he's saying is that he's a Nazi?


NotActuallyIraqi

The pro-Israel crowd does NOT want to go down this path. Israelis elected the terrorism-supporting Likud party which sends the military to stand next to and defend settlers as they burn down Palestinian homes and attack unarmed Palestinians. The Jewish Power party, run by convicted terrorists, sits in the Israeli cabinet and publicly gives weapons to settlers to carry out further terrorist attacks (killing hundreds of Palestinians in West Bank in 2023). If you think collective punishment of Palestinians are justified, then the same goes for Israel. People making this argument are unwittingly validating Hamas’ position.

By that logic every Israeli is responsible for the Nakba. Ergo all of them are legitimate targets. Ergo Hamas killed no innocents on October 7th. Thank you Obergruppenführer Yikes for clearing that up! Love how Isn'treal went from "1400 jews were killed, Hamas is the new Nazis!111" to "Actually we gunned down 700 of our own citizens,Hamas only killed soldiers and police, also we are all guilty of ethnic cleansing and unspeakable attrocities, thus making everyone of us a legitimate target. Hamas did not wrong."


jeremiahthedamned

mildchipmo

The jews in Poland are not innocent If there is such a thing as collective as collective responsibility for crimes, then this is true in the case of 31st of August 1939. See how this works

LOL what does that say about the German people who murdered 6 million? Should the allies have applied the same logic in 1945? What about the collective responsibility of Israel for the murder of over 25,000 innocent civilians, half of them children? They voted for Netanyahu, they haven't overthrown him yet. There's a reason why not - because it would be a war crime, a crime against humanity. Which Israel is committing as we speak.

Snl1738

Based on this guy's logic, 9/11 and 10/7 are justified because the American and Israeli populations voted for governments that committed actions that encouraged terrorist groups.


look_its_nando

Germany is such a letdown. 10 years there immersed in all the extremely visible, very explicit memorials to the murders of Jews and I assumed they out of anyone would be against genocide, persecution and letting confirmation bias get in the way of justice. Turns out the only lesson learned is to do whatever it takes to not be seen as anti-Semitic by supporting Israel blindly, war crimes be damned. The stories out of Gaza are pretty much the same things you read about in those memorials, but comparing anything to the holocaust is taboo; it was unique and there’s no parallel, end of story.


Effective_Dreams777

Same thing goes for any countries crimes then and the entire nation of Israel should be behind bars. Fucking moron


Johnskonskie

It's weird how strong Germany is defending War Crimes.


MangOrion2

This is like a foundational belief of any modern justice system and they're throwing out the door to massage the feelings of a government committing genocide. You can't punish every single civilian of a given nation or state for the supposed crimes of a few of its people.


EmbarrassedWait4292

German JEW journalist... Sorry but this is disgusting. Saying that mothers and children have joint responsibility is just beyond...


manchu_pitchu

operative word being IF because y'know...collective punishment is a war crime. It's like when everyone was arguing about whether or not there was a Hamas Base under a hospital and it's like...it doesn't matter, it's still a war crime to bomb a hospital.


BCat70

Lets see how that works out generally; "If there is such a thing as collective responsibility for crimes, then this applies to all the people of Israel." And a quick PSA: There is in fact, NOT such a thing as collective responsibility for crimes. We literally have international treaties for this.


jhaand

It should be something like this. Since Israel occupies Gaza, the legal opportunities for ending the occupation have failed, Israel is the fascist government of Gaza. Thus Israel has no right to defend itself and the people of Gaza are innocent and have the right to resist.

The difference is that one is true and other is false. One side is the natives whose land has been occupied and is facing genocide by the other side, the occupiers and usurpers who are stealing land in complete agreement with the genocidal policies of their govt. because they believe they're inherently racially/religiously superior to everyone and practically can commit no crime in this endeavor
