If you missed it - Blinken told the fridge story today.

“I saw, for example, a family on a kibbutz, a father (of) two young boys — maybe 10, 11 years old — grabbing them, pulling them out of their living room, going through their very small backyard and into a shelter, followed seconds later by a terrorist who throws a grenade into that small shelter. And then as the father come staggering out, shoots him down. And then the boys come out, and they run into their house, and the camera in the house is filming everything. And they're crying. ‘Where's daddy?’ one says. The other says, ‘They killed daddy. Where's my mommy?’ And then the terrorists comes in, and casually opens the refrigerator and starts to eat from it,” Blinken said he saw in the video.

    The way these ghouls casually talk about

    CW: SA, violence

    accusations of SA, child torture and murder

    literal blood libel shit, then turn around and equivocate that to food crimes really reveals that none of this atrocity propaganda is real to them.

      Yep, it's all about justifying genocide. To convince people that Hamas is out to destroy jews like an anti-semetic zombie horde and the only way to stop them is to turn Gaza to rubble. Get people to turn their empathy off when the images of children being dug out of rubble never stops. All genocide is framed as an act of self-defense.

      There is no evidence any of most lurid and shocking account of crimes occured, and there is no evidence they were under orders to do the horrible shit they've been accused of. Have mass shooting become so commonplace that it's not shocking enough if all they did was shoot people?

      The west has been waging war 365 days a year for our entire lives, they have to promote the fairy tale that our "smart" weapons minimize suffering and our troops don't do war crimes, and it's only our enemies who are uniquely evil.

      It's sickening how easy it is for people to be manipulated by this shit.
