Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.
“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”
zephyreks is a !worldnews@lemmy.ml mod who is banning people there for “orientalism” when they criticize the CCP (you can check their modlog), also it’s the same instance where admins haven’t banned a lead Lemmy dev when he repeatedly said that “all Israeli citizens are valid targets” and they merely deleted his comments way after they came under fire but until now they are still working with him. It should be clear by now that most “we’re just pro-Palestinians, but look we also don’t like Hamas” people here on Lemmy are simply tankies cheering for terrorism and authoritarianism, which is also why they usually share sketchy pro-Hamas sources. They’ll concern-troll about the victims in Gaza but in reality all that matters to them is that the US and one of its most important allies get hurt, because, you know, it helps advance their anti-capitalistic “cause”, and for the most antisemitic of them they’ll also rejoice at some Jewish deaths.
I mean, its not that hard to find both Isreal AND Hamas’s actions atrocious. What happened on the terrorist attack was horrifying and disgusting, and so is how Isreal is “Responding” (In quotes because while the severity has ramped up, this isnt exactly new behavior towards Gaza). I hate the Tankies here too, but thats not a Tankie only stance
I disagree here. There’s plenty of people genuinely horrified by the civilians killed by both sides.
My modlog hasn’t banned anyone lmao go bark up another tree
