The mental component is there - the intent is to firebomb Palestinians, the implausibly thin veil is to preserve US support. The analogy is perfectly relevant.

I'd say you can count on it.

Plenty more get killed by Israelis these days.

Do you take the same attitude with your sexual partners?

Suddenly you're all bashful about slapping labels on stuff?

It's OK - we can try another - what do you call a group that's killed orders of magnitude more children than the "experts in killing children"?

What do you call killing thousands of children?

Isn't this why they pivoted to using Steamboat Willie in their pre-roll - to pull it under trademark as copyright expires?

Seems it'll still be illegal, just for different reasons.

It was Israel that was lying about the babies Hamas killed. Basing your argument on imagined whattaboutisms is an interesting strategy.

They've posted a lot of mask off, extremely genocidal fuck the filthy Muslim bullshit that had to be nuked by the mods. They're not willing to listed to reason, and should just be ridiculed for their incredibly stupid, fragile, hateful bullshit.

He's "one of the good ones" for now - much like right-wingers beginning to turn on Shapiro for being an open Jew, it's not sustainable.

As dark as the situation is, I'll take some satisfaction from the leopards eating their faces.

Abolish the lot, be who you want to be, don't interfere with others, and can it a day, I reckon.

I'm not going to be too concerned about a toddler trying to kick my teeth in, but Andre the giant is a different story. Both are bad, but not comparable.

No - it's a warcrime, dipshit.

The thin veil is what they hastily tossed over the warcrime... after repeatedly lying about not doing it, and repeatedly promising not to do it... For definite not warcrimes reasons

Sure - I used a kitchen knife to stab up a school, but I'm allowed a kitchen knife, dummy - what's the problem?

In much the same way that I can take a perfectly legal kitchen knife and go on a stabbing spree, Israel are transparently using WP smoke bombs as incendiary weapons - something they've committed to not do several times... For definitely not warcrimes reasons... After constantly lying to say they didn't do it... For definitely not warcrimes reasons.

Also, war crimes mean sweet fuck all these days.

This says it all.

I'm hearing so many echoes of the narcissists prayer in Israel's defence...

I didn't do it

But if I did it wasn't a problem

And if it was, it wasn't my fault

And if it was, then I didn't mean it

And if I did then you deserved it.

This is an excuse about as flimsy as they come - yeah, I drove my van full of fertiliser to the mosque, and it happened to catch fire, explode and level three blocks around the mosque, but I'm allowed fertiliser.

On Dec. 27, 2008, Israel launched a 22-day military operation on the Gaza Strip in response to rockets fired from the enclave. In the final days of that operation, Israel was accused of using white phosphorus weapons in proximity to civilian centers, including the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and a nearby hospital.

At first, Israel denied its use. In a scathing 74-page report issued in 2009, HRW disputed these denials. As reported by The Guardian in January 2009, Israel later admitted WP could, in fact, have been improperly used:

Israel has admitted – after mounting pressure – that its troops may have used white phosphorus shells in contravention of international law, during its three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip.

One of the places most seriously affected by the use of white phosphorus was the main UN compound in Gaza City, which was hit by three shells on 15 January. The same munition was used in a strike on the al-Quds hospital in Gaza City the same day.

Under review by Colonel Shai Alkalai is the use of white phosphorus by a reserve paratroop brigade in northern Israel. According to army sources the brigade fired up to 20 phosphorus shells in a heavily built-up area around the Gaza township of Beit Lahiya, one of the worst hit areas of Gaza.

In that 2009 case, as HRW documented, American-made WP shells fired from 155mm-caliber Howitzer guns burst in the air above their target, splintering, by design, into 116 solid shards of burning, white phosphorus that brought both smoke and flame to the ground below:

As Middle East Eye reported shortly after images of explosions were posted in 2023, "sources on the ground reported seeing scenes consistent with past Israeli white phosphorus use in Gaza, including during the 2008 conflict." Indeed, a comparison of the air-blast explosions involved in the 2008-09 offensive and in October 2023 show what appear to be remarkably similar effects

Basically we did it in violation of international law (warcrime), but it wasn't a breach of international law, and we didn't do it, but we did do it, and promised we wouldn't do it again because... and we didn't do it again, except we definitely did.

Standard Israeli credibility, and definite not warcrimes.

I don't know why you need me to be Muslim, or what any of this has to do with the obvious propaganda you've been huffing that's whipped you into a genocidal tantrum, but rather than get into that, I'll ask instead:

In what way is Hamas a terrorist organisation that's not more descriptive of Israel? It's not the dead kids, and based on the utter nonsense you're regurgitating, it's not the propaganda.

Israel's use of white phosphorous as a smoke screen is as plausible as their claim that every Palestinian man woman and child being killed is Hamas. When the Israeli military had to commit they wouldn't use WP in populated areas to the Israeli High Court of Justice in 2013. The use of WP in this manner is widely considered a warcrime with the flimsiest of veils draped over it.

There's a gaping chasm between superhuman control and genocide - but I'm seeing a lot of genocidal rhetoric, action and dead or displaced Palestinians, and no evidence of restraint beyond the bare minimum which will allow for continued US support.

Do you think that's a good-faith read of the meme?

It's news that open Nazi, Nick Fuentes wants to finish the job Hitler couldn't because he had his ass handed to him and shot himself in the face?

Was the surprise that Fuentes is a Nazi (unlikely), or that Nazis want to finish the Holocaust (more unlikely).

I'm all for shining a spotlight on Trump courting Nazis, but this is dumb framing.
