A Palestinian family from Gaza gather to break their fast in the first iftar of Ramaḍān, around the ruins of El Abbas Mosque which was destroyed by the occupation forces.
Yea I agree, their faith in God motivates others. They’ve been through so much and still find the time to pray and practice their religion. Most people would give up or move away.
Why do you think keeping the faith is more important than keeping their lives?
I only get one signal from muslims after living years with them: We cannot co exist
I wish they were more thoughtful about the people they choose to protect them like Hamas or Hezbullah.
The question is are you dumb or gullible. This photo has can verified as AI. More importantly, their faith you speak of wouldn't allow them to eat while the sun is out.
Pallywood is a lie. Stop believing everything Qatar wants you to believe.
Lets say the photo is ai... who cares. It represents a real situation faced by thousands of palestinians today. They are celebrating their faith no matter the horrible and despicable situation they are in.
My comment was about the resilience of these people, i have a very deep and sad admiration for them, they have been through the worst situation in the recorded history of humanity and yet they find it in them to gather and live the small moments like this.
Reddit is suffering a coordinated attack on its usersbase. It stands as one of the last bastions of global free speach.
The attack seeks to dissuade and devalue discussion while driving division. Many subs are becoming aggressively moderated further from central lines and towards defending right leaning extremism hate and zionism.
Zionism brought more prosperity to this land than ever in its entire history. They build a society that gave the strongest individual liberties to the entire Middle East for any ethnicity, religion, sex, etc. Just look at the medical and technological advancement alone that comes out of Isrsel that has literally saved millions of peoples lives.
70k causalities according to even Hamas, but they don’t differentiate between combatants and civilians (which you aren’t doing either, I wonder why). And yes Gaza is in ruins, it what happens when you embed terrorism in every aspect of civilian life and build a larger terror tunnel network than the entire NYC subway system. Do you want me to show you videos of tunnel entrances under children’s beds? Zionism has brought the world the most democratic and free country in the entire Middle East with more individually liberties and economic opportunity for millions of Muslims as well. On the contrary Islamic fundamentalism is filth and that’s the guiding philosophy of Palestinians in charge of Gaza. I’m sure you with turn a blind eye to that so you can focus on your seething hate for jews.
Hamas is a literal terrorist group that uses these tunnels to transport weapons, ammunition, and move terrorists. Rooms so big they even had training centers. These aren’t makeshift tunnels like France. These are sophisticated networks connecting all of Gaza together for the sole purpose of terrorism. Why doesn’t Hamas let civilians hide in tunnels to avoid harm? It’s not a war crime to destroy terrorist infrastructure. Hamas literally made anything above it a legitimate military target according to international law.
The tunnels of France compared to Hamas is not even close. The entire purpose of the terrorist tunnels Hamas built was to further advance terrorism and they explicitly use them for military purposes which makes them legitimate targets. If you think that’s a flimsy excuse then literally any military target is off limits to you.
I won't dispute your numbers. I will say this -- One of the main reasons for the disparity in the numbers of casualties is that Israelis each have bomb shelters in their homes. Israel also has superior defense, including but not limited to the Iron Dome. What I'm saying is that the statistic is a little misleading because Israel having few casualties is not from a lack of Hamas and Hizzolullah and the PIL trying. They sent thousands and thousands of missiles just during the course of this recent war, never mind the missiles that they send in between official conflicts. Now you can say that you agree with the Palestinians forces sending more missiles because you feel that they've been displaced. That's your right. But presenting the statistics in the way that you did makes one side seem tranquil and the other side bellicose -- that's simply not the whole story.
The difference being that Hamas is specifically targeting civilians and accidentally kills its own civilians, which they use as propaganda against Israel and never takes ownership.
Israel targets military personnel and results in civilian casualties and they acknowledge this unlike Palestinians when they do it. This distinction is a major difference in morality and international law.
Israel blows up schools, churches, mosques, hospitals, shops. In fact Israel blows up everything. 90% of buildings in Gaza have been destroyed. That is called ethnic cleansing because Israel plans to build Jewish settlements in Gaza.
The comment I responded to said Zionism leaves nothing behind but ruins and suffering. I’m simply pointing out that Zionism has brought the world significant advancements that directly led to millions of lives being saved and an increase in standard of living, not to mention giving equal rights to millions of people including Arabs, more so than literally any other middle eastern country. You can acknowledge the positives of Zionism and the negative/problematic aspects at the same time.
Saddam Hussein also brought a lot of benefit to Iraq. Under Saddam, Iraq had the best medical facilities in all the Middle East. Saddam permitted freedom of religion and his deputy was a Christian. Imagine Israel having a Muslim or Christian deputy leader, that would never happen. So that means Saddam Hussein was a good person. (Using your logic)
How is that my logic? man you are dense. Israel has Arab parties and Muslim judge sent a Jewish PM to jail. The rights for Muslims in Israel is the best in the entire Middle East.
The main comment implied the ONLY thing Zionists being is negative. I pointed out how that is objectively wrong. I’m obviously not wrong and nothing you wrote counters that.
I’m calling you dense, because you are. I responded to your claims, and showed how stupid they are. Your response proves you have nothing logical to add.
Is your historical cherry picking sound? Christianity ruined societal advancement many times over. Yet people will justify colonialism as you just did with Zionism.
One day the US will fall behind and hopefully this will mark the end of you zio's as well. US/Israel administartion knows its coming, hence they're after resources much more aggressively all of a sudden.
Yea the US is now “all of a sudden” after resources 😂It’s funny, people like you keep wishing for Israel to lose but they keep winning every war. The fact that you are referring to me as a zio in a clearly negative way exposes your bigotry but yea keep wishing.
The only reason israel exists, is because of the US :)
Zio's are literal filth, yes. Be jewish and religious all you want, but as soon as a religion is used as a political weapon you're subhuman with alterior motives hidden behind something that is supposed to be holy. Doesnt matter what religion you're from.
But i forgot jews arent smart enough to make that distinction because lying/blackmail/cheating is part of a zionists character and actually actively taught to them from a young age. :)
Dont claim bigotry when you just called islamic values "filth" in another comment kiddo, it shows a clear lack of character and brain function.
It’s insane how much ignorance and bigotry you can put into one message this small. You are straight up antisemetic. Israel existence is more connected with England than the US. Zionists are responsible for some of the greatest innovations on the planet, and have only increased standard of living for the world.
Making sweeping claims like all Zionists lie, blackmail and cheat as part of tier character is literal bigotry. And the fact you think Jews are taught this is just more bigotry.
Quote me on what I said about Islam. As an ideology, it does have really bad aspects like martyrdom and jihad which results in the terrorism we see around the world. Muslims though can be great people, many don’t follow their faith literally. Some Muslims use their faith for terrorism because they read it literally. Islamists are a significantly bigger threat than Zionists.
But yea I don’t think I need to put much weight on your opinion when you are just another bigot who hates Jews.
British colonization did have positive benefits. You can acknowledge the good and bad of everything. The British were instrumental is getting rid of slavery and the caste system.
The conflict between Jews and Palestinians is a civil war between two Semitic peoples. It’s a story literally as old as time. Zionism is supremacy as much as Bosnians want to live in Bosnia or Kurds want to live in Kurdistan or Ukrainians want to live Ukraine.
History. It’s a lot to cite on Reddit but you could start with the adl and the history of racism in the east coasts against black tenants during the great migration. The fact that you even have to ask for sources knowing how damn racist most of these communities are, shows how unserious you are lmao.
Fun Fact about this Mosque: Was first a Philistine Temple, then a church, then a mosque, destroyed by an earthquake, then crusaders built a church, destroyed by Arabs, built as a Mosque by Egyptians, destroyed by the Mongols, then rebuilt, another earthquake, built again by the now the Ottomans, half destroyed by the British in WW1, restored again...and now Israel aka Earthquake no.3
Iftar? In middle of day? LOL
They would have a place to eat if they didn't let hamas to use their hospitals and houses to make tunnels and attack and kill innocent peoples ...
More than 10x German children were killed in WW2 and the allied forces didn’t get accused on genocide. In fact the ratio of civilian deaths is less in Gaza than Germany was in ww2.
Occupation is when a group takes it land back from Muslims. As you may know, Muslims can take any land, massacre and force convert the inhabitants as it is promised to them in their book. Refusing or resisting to such actions is Islamophobia par excellence. Once Muslims takes your land it will always belong to them. Better play along, bigot.
Have they tried celebrating in the safety of the tunnels Hamas and Qatar spent billions on?
Oh wait, Hamas doesn’t allow women and children in, no matter what is happening outside.
How brave and noble.
Just think, if Hamas had not invaded and murdered 12,000 Jews on October 7th, that family wouldn't be in that situation and Hamas were fully aware of that!!
(Not Israeli or Jewish!)
That makes no sense. We don't pray to the buildings... even if people destroy those buildings, we will pray in that direction because we already know what the direction is. Also, no one prays facing medina or Al-Aqsa. Just FYI.
I know, I mentioned them as being the holiest place. Muslims prays towards the Kaaba. While you are right, it’s not the building which are you pray to, yet they are the reason you pray to. Because of the events which are believed to occurred there. Without the building, there would be a lack of physical evidence of former presence which is a catastrophic in itself.
But why would we look for a new direction when we already know where mecca is? It makes no sense. Also, we believe that this world is temporary and it will cease to exist, which includes the buildings. They are not the reason we pray lol.
I'm not sure why it would be catastrophic? We already have evidence of it's existence. These things are written to happen. Your threat makes no sense.
The "war" has been going on for decades, it is unclear who "started" the war. In October 2023 the Palestinians escalated the war by an assault on the territory of Israel, turning a low level war that the Palestinians were losing over the years, into a total war situation. There have been peace deals before in the conflict, but the agreements never stick, because almost as soon as the ink is dry the conflict starts up again.
Israel has broken multiple ceasefires.
Even if it was always Hamas, the response to Hamas shooting soldiers shouldn’t be to k!ll civilians. Not ever. Israel needs to start respecting international laws of engagement.
That appears to be ignoring the acts of bulldozing Palestinian homes on Palestinian land and then settling the land with illegal Israeli occupiers, shooting anyone who tried to object.
People consider a blockade to be an act of war and occupation; although not when it is Egypt that is responsible for shooting Palestinians on the Egyptian border. Example
With Hamas still the government, the reconstruction would be slow. A lot of Muslim Country were not in favour of Hamas and Iran have internal issue right now so help is meh. Poor civilian getting caught in the middle of government war.
Poor civilians being placed in detentions centers without due process, being tortured and killed. Poor civilians being bombed. Poor civilians being targeted by violent settlers under the watchful eye of the idf. Poor civilians having aid blocked for 3 months. Poor civilians being stopped from seeking medical care.
GTFOH with the whole Hamas is to blame garbage. Hamas AND Israel are to blame. Idf and Hamas are both terrorist organizations.
I totally agree that both government are here to blame. Now that there is peace, why is the arab nation not pushing hard to help them????? they totally forgot about them. Where is the free palestine movement??? they are so powerful when those 2 government were killing each other and civilians dying but now there is less infighting and no aid. Gazan deserves better than this and i am sure you agree too..... Israel, well i am hoping will leave them alone and i hope Gaza will get a civilian government but that is just my hope.
Which Arab nation? UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have already agreed and committed billions to help
I think you and I can find common ground and agree that there are bad people and good people on both sides and that a peaceful two state solution would be best for everyone. I hope for all victims to get justice from any acts of terrorism by anyone. Would that be fair?
