Israeli soldiers blow up building in Gaza and laugh about ‘gender reveal’

‘It’s a boy!’ Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves blowing up a building in Gaza while laughing that the blue smoke.

I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

EDIT: Outlet has edited headline since time of posting.

    Al Jazeera must have updated/corrected it. The title of the post was the original headline.

            You’d have to be an asshole not oppose country based on settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing

            …and yet, being anti-Israel was considered a far-right neo-Nazi position not that long ago. It became acceptable again from the start of the current flare up (the current fighting isn’t something new, it’s been going on and off for decades). Before that, anti-Israel meant anti-Jew meant obviously Nazi. It’s wild how when things change so many people will just quietly drop the old narrative and pretend it never existed. We’ve always been at war with Eurasia and all that.

            The reality is that the US supports Israel, has for a long time and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It’s not because of being pro-Jew or wanting to ethnically cleanse Arabs, it’s because they’re our only real ally in the Middle East and thus we’ll remain safely on their good side unless and until we get a strategically more useful ally in the Middle East. Then keeping them happy becomes less important.

            Well, you can check it yourself. Go to Arabic Al Jazeera and use machine translation and compare it to the English version. Then compare the article to the same topic on the BBC and Times of Israel. Compare and contrast.

            Al Jazeera is Qatari state media. There’s no press freedom in that authoritarian kingdom.
