Bombing fucking Bethlehem on Christmas is just such over the top cartoonishly evil shit and pro-Zionist (fascist) liberals still fucking defend this shit.

Some humans insist on being rotten.

Hey! Just for fact's sake - not trying to minimize Israel attacking Bethlehem on Christmas - the article doesn't mention any bombing of Bethlehem, it was a harassing raid by ground forces that arrested a few people as part of an intimidation campaign against the west bank.

Regions in and near Nablus, Jericho, Ramallah and Bethlehem – which Christians believe is the birthplace of Jesus Christ – were also raided overnight by Israeli forces, Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reported.

Obviously that's still vile and again shows how close the army and illegal settlers are. But a raid rather than bombing.

You are right. Within the past few months, Israel has bombed some areas in the West Bank, but Bethlehem is currently not one of them.

Liberals support this do they? I doubt anyone getting arrested at the protests for 'hate crimes' has come down from Chipping Norton.

I refuse to acknowledge that IDF consists of humans. Fascists are not humans.

Considering some humans to be "not humans" is a primary tool of fascism.

Probably best to avoid de-humanizing anyone if you truly want to end fascism rather than re-create it under a different name.

Humans can do terrible, abhorrent things. It's good for us to remember that, as we are also human; And capable of the same atrocities if we aren't careful and vigilant.

they're human, but inhuman.

That's cool, but fascists are not humans because they consider others subhuman. Dehumanising the ones that dehumanise others is fair game, because we know for a fact that Israel recently officially called Palestinians "human animals" and have open goals to make Gaza look like Auschwitz. It becomes worse when Jews (Zionists) are the ones committing genocide.

~~Jesus what a trash headline. The article says nothing about Israel attacking Bethlehem or anywhere in the West Bank. The article only says people in Bethlehem are sad about what is happening.~~

~~Yes, there is a lot of bad stuff that the Israeli government does, but don't blatantly lie about stuff that doesn't happen like the truth doesn't matter~~.

Edit: The first article was hidden by the way my lemmy app handles links vs comment bodies and i misunderstood what I was clicking.

Thank you for correcting me! I got confused by how my lemmy app displays links vs links in comments.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

The article says in the second paragraph that Bethlehem was "hit" with a raid by Israel.
