    Looks historically accurate to me: Hamas is returning hostages but Israel just shoots them all with a tank anyway

    Jokes aside, fuck them, just because IOF kills any man, woman, and child they happen to set their sights on, doesn't mean they were "human shields"

      And even if they were human shields, it just enforced that Israel is genocidal. If you’re unable to restrain yourself from blowing up Palestinian civilians because they’re in the way, then you simply want to see all of them dead.

    Doesn't even make Israel look good because it's still implying that Israel is tank-shooting through humans to get at Hamas.

        But then when you reverse it to be about Israel settlers getting hit with strays while being “protected” by the IDF, suddenly that’s bad.

      I’m getting a “both sides is bad” take from the float, which is a terrible take by the way. Palestine is already vindicated in the history books as morally good, and that Hamas is the legitimate leaders of the Palestinians.

        This is modern Germany though. Saying Israel bad is the same as saying you worship Hitler and want him to rule the world.

        No, then they'd want revenge. Imagine 9/11 but on a larger scale. You gotta make sure they don't benefit from violence, stop feeding them 24 hour news slop and let the beast starve

            afaik the power stations are pretty well open to hacking.. a few button pushes might be all it takes to bring America to its knees for weeks if not months or longer

    This has the same look and artstyle of something that Germany would have put on a poster some 80 years ago.

    If Hamas was pushing a family towards my large tank, I would simply not shoot at them to avoid reckless deaths.

        I keep getting my accounts permbanned on reddit-logo since that one time I sent a death threat to a SAZF supporter on 7 October on worldnews, lol

        Though on occasion I do stop by to see if anymore hamas-red-triangle fire compilations are uploaded

    The thing is that Hamas does not fucking use people as human shields. That's what the "even if they did" argument misses. It's not fucking true. It's genocidal propaganda and it's a fabrication.

    they're using human shields so we're actually going to need even more weaponry to break that down

    So does reddit-logo turn off upvotes on Israel/Palestine threads? I've been seeing this a lot lately

      I dunno but something‘s hinky: “[score hidden]” seems to be specific to this post and not to r/pics in general.

        I just see 1 upvote for every post - I've been seeing that a lot lately.

    I suppose it's equal-opportunity racist and anti-Semitic.

    Are German parades always this…graphic? I’m assuming the primary audience is families with children. Not sure about everyone else, but seeing giant puppets committing heinous war crimes would’ve traumatized me when I was a kid.

      Cw homophobia

      One of the other floats was apparently the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church blowing Putin so... I guess?
