> Part of the reason is the systematic destruction of farmland by the Israeli military. Ground troops have demolished greenhouses; bulldozers have toppled orchards, ploughed out crops and crushed the soil; and planes have sprayed herbicides over the fields.
> The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) justify these attacks by claiming that “Hamas often operates from within orchards, fields, and agricultural land.” And apparently from hospitals, schools, universities, industrial estates and any other resources on which the Palestinians depend.
Everyone and everything that can be killed is Hamas and must be killed, apparently.

- qmr 1y agoCareful now, I was just flagged (whatever that amounts to) for calling apartheid apartheid.
- austin-cheney 1y agoMy learning from this is that pro Israel bots do not understand sarcasm. The rate at which anti-Israeli comments get flagged slows dramatically when expressed as extreme sarcasm. Just mention something about Israel being a victim while not using trigger words like genocide or apartheid and your risk of being flagged drops dramatically.
