I never stop wondering how much social conditioning and impunity can change people.

No one in their right mind would ever do that. But these people's brains are turned into a mush made only to kill and torture, to inflict as much pain as possible, on purpose. What does it take to turn a regular person into this?

As proof of the level of depravity they get away with, Israelis rape palestinian hostages with knives and dogs:

I imagine the same type of force that turned Germans into nazis. Ordinary Men is a book that talks about how an average police unit slowly began committing atrocities during WW2.

And then telling they were just following orders...

This has gone on quite enough. Israel and the USA deserve to be abolished and anyone with an ounce of ppwer hanged. John Brown, The Soviets, fucken anyone who says put them down permanently, is right. You can't allow people to continue after doing evil like this. You have to stop them forever.

Might be somewhat better, would be hard to get an early coverage of such a thing in the mainstream media. All of this is also based on interviews with the eye-witnesses although there are claims of confirmation by medical reports. There are also videos of the child with clear puncture etc wounds, which looks like human inflicted.

Yeah like the BBC or CNN or DW 😅

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

BBC and DW do great work

If you can understand Arabic the father gave an interview and it’s on YouTube and X.

This is how I know God doesn't exist, or is an absolutely colossal tool.

Exactly, have a friend who said "i belive in god, because this world could only be this fucked up on purpose"

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm in the same camp, if there is a god then they're into cruelty

Israel becoming a country was a mistake, if this is the price of it.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

they were given one without consent from the indigeneous population.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

The people that "gave" them the land, the British, had no right to do it either.

[–] criscodisco@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Same shit, different century.

this reminds me of the copaganda show 24, where the sutherland characther pretends to torture the children to get a confession out of the parents. side rant-Gal gadot is literally in hollywood to shill for israel, she was in the IDF, which is why shes in dcu movies despite being a crappy actor.

[–] joan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

israeli citizens, such as gal gadot, are required to spend two years in the military

I mentioned in my comment from the start and before making any edit that this cannot belong to the jewish religon. Same thing happened with ISIS who adopted a false supremacist murderous and evil idology of Islam. They enslaved Yazidi women and slaughtered kids and men whom they viewed as not from the chosen people.
How the fuck was ISIS bad but Zionism is supported by Europe and the US and Western values? ISIS never represented Islam the same way Zionism does not represt Judaism. ISIS mirrors Zionism to the tee btw. They were colonizing lands that was promised to them by god, slaughtering and raping people for their promised Khalifite who will lead their people to rule the world. They also needed a country for them to escape "the prosecution" they experienced everywhere in the world to practice their idology. Does ISIS have the right to exist??

So lets not pretend these monsters dont exist regardless of what they claim their belief is; We judge them by their actions. The Episten files showed him and Donald Trump impregnating and aborting a mentally disabled kid numerous times. Also showed him mocking a girl who was asking Jesus for help because he absolutely does not believe in any god. Also showed his 1500 galons of acid tank that is connected to the swerage system beneath. There is an ongoing investigation regarding missing bodies in his NM ranch. There is hard undeniable evidence that this monsterous elite Epestien class exist and they do everything above the laws without shred of humanity.

Isis was paid by Israel and armed by the US

I was permanently banned on reddit for commenting under this exact story that I think Islamic terrorists maybe have a point.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago (9 children)

Well it maybe would have a point if they blew up IDF soldiers and not some random train station in Europe or a stadium full of kids and teenagers. All that achieves is more hatred against regular Muslims.

These type of things happening disprove the the belief of good gods. If this type of shit can happen, your supposedly "good" deities are either not powerful or fake.
