    72% are combat aged men

    Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but unless they’re actually enlisted, they are still civilians, right?

      “Combat-aged men” is there to “counter” the accusation that Israel targets entire families as well as normalize violence against “acceptable” targets.

      It’s why I’m against the usage of “women and children”, even if I understand the place that’s coming from. Once you dehumanize Palestinian men, it’s not hard to write off their sisters, mothers, wives, and children.

      Notice how they use a proportional figure to contrast a fixed number. Even if true it means 28% of victims were children. The death toll is currently of 50 000. 28% of 50 000 is exactly 14 000. That’s how stupid their propaganda is

      It’s a slimy phrase started IIRC under Obama to justify killing teenage boys. “Combat aged” is used to make “Ummm, ackshually, he could have had a gun hehehe checkmate terrorists!” arguments.

      Yes, but that’s not the category they care about. Killing civilians is fine as long as they are of age.

    A starving child from Gaza that was actually… cystic fibrosis

    These kids aren’t dying of genocide. They’re dying with genocide! No cluster bomb has ever killed a healthy child! brainworms

      this plus every single zionist and anybody with anything to say about israel that isnt “it needs to be abolished”

      these fascists are seriously fucking shit up for everyone. they have it so if you criticize their genocide they get to paint YOU as the racist, as the person without morals or empathy. fuck these zionost pigs all the way to hell.

      and how the fuck do they expect the insane conspiracies about “jews controlling the world” to be dispelled when they themselves have hitched zionism and israelism to judaism? they’re fucking it up for regular ass jewish people who dont want any association with this evil satanic government

        They have no interest in combating antisemitism, quite the opposite. Israel loves to market itself as the only place where jews are safe. Making everywhere else a more hostile environment for jews and thus pressuring them to move to Israel is a nice side effect for them.

    This would be hilarious if these crocodile tear-shedding fuckheads weren’t handing lists of people to trump-moist to have the American Gestapo grab in the dead of night. Though, I think it’s more likely that some alphabet soup the-pigss pay a visit to Ms. Rachel’s house a la Second Thought/JT Chapman, at most.

    At the very least, unhinged stuff like this alienates people and shows that Zionism’s PR team is desperate. It’s a large part of why Israel itself and the US are desperate to “finish the job”.

    So in their words, more than 1/4 of the Palestinians that have been killed by nazis of west Asia/middle east are kids/women/elderly if I’m understanding correctly. Not really a stat to put a positive light on but what do you expect from zionist ghouls?

    If I understand correctly, the StopAntisemitism “organization” is composed of only 1 woman named Liora Rez. She was born in Ukraine and lives in the US, and rabidly supports Israel.
