This time on shit the IDF says...

Did you know that almost every home has a metal tube that extends into an underground tunnel network that's commonly used to transport liquids and waste?

THE PALESTINIANS ARE IN THE WALLS

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 6 points 8 months ago

They are in the fracking walls!

Sure, every civilian home has a tunnel, every civilian child or baby contains a tunnel, pets contain tunnels, graves contain tunnels, etc. /s

This is cartoon villain level evil at this point.

The message needs to be: if you have the audacity and the cruelty to do this to Israeli civilians, your fate will be violent and it will be short and you will be by the end of that process, you will be dead. That is the message that Israel needs to send, not because we are a warmongering nation; we are a peace-loving nation.

We want to live in peace, in security, behind our internationally recognized borders, but we understand that the way for our enemies to respect us is by showing that if you wrong us in such a horrible way like Hamas did on October 7, you will face the most severe of consequences.

Aren't their borders literally not internationally recognized? The original partition is internationally recognized, but their new borders are just something they made up lol

If you're under constant thread of bombardment with impunity, tunnels would be first thing dug out. Do these fucking ~~assholes~~criminals think Palestinians are crayon-eating morons??

This isn’t about Israel. You know the Houthi flag starts with “Allahu Akhbar” and then the second line is “Death to America.” Then it’s “Death to Israel,” “Curse be the Jews” and then “Victory to Islam.” But it’s first “Death to America.” And that needs to be remembered.

Lmao this reminded me of another hit piece from our friends at jpost:

Well, have you looked at the houthi flag? That's literally what it's saying: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthi_movement

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 8 points 8 months ago

Would you blame them? Death to America is the logical conclusion for a modern Middle Eastern person.

[–] livus@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

I think they were just laughing at the hyperbole of saying it "isn't about Israel".

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

The IDF defenders with their media bias factchecking posts will be here any minute now ...

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I guess this guy must have joined the IDF.
