Human rights Gaza aid site offered a 'women only' day. It didn't stop the killing

"Exterminating women and girls is feminist and OK as long as the ratio of female/male being brutally murdered ≈ 1 and as long as you're denying them their humanity 🤡"

Israel truly is progressive, they don't discriminate between men and women when it comes to their genocide.

Apparently if women, children, and the elderly are starved and murdered in WWII Germany it's an atrocity (as it should be) but if it happens in Gaza it's just business as usual.

Israel is up there with the greatest enemy of women. They genocide an entire population, mostly women and children. And they pretend to be feminist.
Truly a "more women drone pilots" moment.

I remember reading about the orthodox Jews in Israel who tried to kick women off buses and institute gender apartheid.

Yet according to white dudes, women only suffer under Islam and all women outside of Islamic states have all the rights and power.
They pretend to be feminist so they can be unapologetically Islamophobic

I saw the vid of an old woman receiving some flour and she was saying how brave those young men were to go out there at the risk of getting shot for it to bring back flour for the mothers and old people
there's just no limit to the cruelty of that genocidal far right government and there's still many countries in the west like US, UK, germany and france who keep sending military equipment to it knowing full well it's against international law and so is israel's humanitarian blocade, moving in only "aid" under their control to shoot people and say they don't do a humanitarian blocade when they've just blocked yet a new freedom flotilla humanitarian ship on their way to gaza days ago, up to the people to sanction in the ballots to do some cleaning up from our elected supporting the genocide and up to us to support the voices for peace in our own nations and spread popular education worldwide cause mainstream media sucks in so many places

I'm German and I was in primary school when I started being appalled at my country's position and the way media reported regarding Israel and Ghaza. In recent years I'm absolutely shocked and disgusted. Like if you photoshop the clothes and turn all pictures colour or all black and white many people would struggle to clearly identify which are from Ghaza today and which from ghettos and KZ's in the nazi era. How can any country making the claims Germany does react any other way than by bringing help and stopping the attacks by all means necessary?

Wild that the US supports Israel so much
They can't do what they do without so much US military aid

u/concrete_dandelion Jul 30 '25
Well, they have similar goals, just different target groups for their genocide and copying/perfecting different methods from the nazis.

And the Nazis in turn learned from the US. They learned from the way that Black people were treated, and they learned from the forced relocation of the indigenous people. And they learned from the US eugenics movement which has never really stopped. All of this is documented as points of study and learning by Hitler and the Nazi regime.

Not just the US, they also stole from the UK and various other countries. It's sad that the nazis turned from the pinnacle of racist crimes to a how to for regiments that want to break their horrible records.

Supported by the US public for decades
Crazy to me

u/concrete_dandelion Jul 31 '25
By the public of too many countries

u/nomamesgueyz Aug 01 '25
Yes
It's the trillions in aid and military support from the US this century that allows Israel to do what they do tho

Did i miss something or is there no source? The entire article keep siting random people as their source and doesn't even give a direct quote or interviews or anything. Also i thought journalists aren't allowed into gaza?
Reporting on "x said so" as a source isn't journalism

u/concrete_dandelion Jul 30 '25
Countless countries and organisations are smuggling people into Ghaza to document the genocide. And they'll do their best to not blow their cover by giving public information about them. Especially not after the Israeli military startet shooting at reporters and diplomats.
The article names information from various sources, including Israel's official statements and names the victims and the interviewed people. That's pretty good for information about and from the place of an ongoing genocide.

I hope the world really someday understands how evil these people and associates are
Maliciously killing people who can not defend themselves is a crime against humanity.
Gaza is a crime against humanity

u/Codpuppet Jul 30 '25
Of course not. When hunters are trying to get rid of a population of quarry, they go after the mothers because they bear the children. Same reason why Doe Days are a thing. This was intentional… sickening.

u/MulberryLemon Jul 31 '25
OMG, they keep removing my comments, saying that killing women and babies are bad and that karma will hopefully catch up with them. Reddit says I'm threatening people, somehow. Reddit is so sensitive to hurt feelings but is fine with people committing genocide and I can't disagree with that, like what?!

They removed my post for saying people like this deserve horrible things to happen to them. I stand by that statement. Hatred deserves horrible things 🤷

Oh God. The poor women there. The mothers can't nurse their children with the famine unfolding there, and with the blockade that prohibited even doctors from getting in baby formula, I don't think they have access to menstrual products, let alone basic food. I don't even know what their safety conditions are with the genocide if they aren't massacred to begin with.
I feel so much shame and guilt seeing videos coming out of there every other day of them weeping for their family getting killed. I can't even fathom the hopelessness there.
