    note that when Israeli snipers compete among themselves for how many Palestinians they can kneecap it gets counted under "injuries"

      they have special bullets banned around the world that explode on impact to cause the most amount of damage possible. Long term if they survive, it shatters the bones severely and usually leaves fragments left in the person. It's pure evil

        Well it lasted for longer than I expected. Just fucking lol at reddit nerds and their posting rules. "Today is Amogus Friday, you can only post about ethnic cleansing on Ethnic Cleansing Thursdays."

      your comment reminded me of the fact that the media constantly calls the IDF soldiers who are harmed as civilians. they constantly do this on top of using passive language for Israel and active for Palestine IN THE SAME HEADLINE.

    it really pokes a hole in the overplayed rhetoric that "Israel is defending itself" when they are unequivocally the aggressor. They try to act like homemade explosives and rocks are just as bad hellfire missiles and the other extremely powerful and high tech weaponry.

    March of Return 2018 fucked me up in a way I will never forget. Snipers were deliberately shooting people's limbs to keep the fatality count low. "Only" 200 people died but nearly 2,000 total were shot with live ammunition.
