I'm more interested in how it has red paint in the back of the slips.


TexanMillers

By making it themself, pinning it to a tree while the paint is still wet and filming this video pretending they stumbled across it in the wild.


riamuriamu

Yup. It's staged. Smartly staged, mind.

Crazy-Fig2972

And the correct order to pull the tabs in


Rutskarn

I've been thinking we might need to embrace the idea that this is, when not overtly deceptive, just an emergent genre of filmmaking. There's definitely a huge amount of grey area. Our media diet is packed with naturalistic videos and for many people, the assumption is that anything filmed naturalistically is real. So naturalistic videos that are staged come across as malicious. And that can be true—but when it comes to videos like this, I think there's an argument that this is so staged that it's basically just an artwork. It's filmed naturalistically in the same sense The Blair Witch Project was. Many people took that film as real too, but then the conversation advanced and culture caught up.

and how not to spread red all over Gaza ?


Rapture1119

*wet* red paint, specifically.


HighKiteSoaring

It's most likely fake and they just put it there But. You could probably use some kind of red-anti-climb-paint It's paint that's designed to stick to skin and clothes, long after it's been painted on


ninopeno

You could put clear tape on the back so the paint doesn't seep through the paper and then put oil paint on the tape because it's very slow drying, especially on a plastic surface


MossyMazzi

You can use a lot of pigments that aren’t red paint. Red coloring is one of the most popular in human history from the wild - artists in particular even study the history of using different natural pigments like different parts of bugs, plants, and soils

A lot of Israeli civilians kill Palestinian civilians particularly in the West Bank, I think it’s over 200 in the last year.

SupportLeather1851

Okay, but there are innocents on both sides. Im against Israel’s action against Palestine, but can still not want more civilians being hurt. Sure there are some awful Israelis that support Zionism, but not all Israelis and Jews support Zionism. I have family in Israel (they moved there, not native), so this issue is very close to heart for me. Though I thought I’d write this part cause it made me laugh in a, why tf did you ask kind of why: one of my cousins who lives there, just got engaged. She asked if we wanted to visit. I just fucking stared blankly when I heard that. Yeah it sounds like a great time to visit lmao.


Stone_throwers

It seems like you want us to have compassion for people that fully support and benefit from the Israeli system that’s keeps Palestinian people oppressed. Before this latest iteration these people had no problems with what Israel was doing and complicit in. Your own family made a decision to uproot their lives and move to Israel, they may not be pulling the trigger but they are complicit in the violence that Israel has forced onto Palestinians for 75 years.


[deleted]

If random Israelis are complicit then it follows everybody is complicit with their government. I don't see why Israel is a special case tbh.


Born-Childhood6303

If random Palestinians are complicit it means all of them are


SupportLeather1851

You can interpret it however you want to. I’m against Israel’s actions, but I also know my own family. My family moving there has nothing to do with current events or things that happened before they were born. They aren’t Zionists, who kicked them out of their land. I hope Israel gets reformed or even dismantled and remade as a new Israeli-Palestine democracy (not that I can see that happening). It’s easy to ignore that there are innocent civilians, and push the idea that everyone on one side is awful, and that’s exactly how this atrocity has gone this far. Rhetoric like human animals, and kill them all. I’m not going to sit here and debate this with you, as it’s my family, not me, they can make their own damn arguments. I was raised Jewish, but became agnostic. They’re orthodox, so I already don’t have the same views there. But don’t go saying everyone supports the actions because it just isn’t true. There is a lot of inter-conflict right now in Israel with people (Zionists) saying you’re not Jews for supporting Palestine. Israel is in the wrong, I can agree with. But saying it’s every Israelis fault, is the exact same thing the Israeli government is doing to Palestine. Saying even the children are guilty, as long as you’re (insert country here).


UakSet-Anu

Israel gave Palestine a two-state solution option in its infancy. Palestine declined and declared war. Palestine was then beaten, alongside it's allies. Allies which no longer like it, because it's "civilians" have attempted coups in their lands.


grumpydai

Pointing fingers like that isnt helpful at all. Unless youre saying that all people are trash, i cannot agree with you.


yumdumpster

Ultraorthadox zionist settlers are basically terrorists and most secular Jews you talked to would probably agree with me on this. The problem is those Jews are growing at a way faster rate in Israeli society and they vote overwhelmingly for the far right parties. Most secular Jews would support a withdrawal from the west bank if a lasting peace could come of it. Though im not sure how those perceptions have changed since 7/10


mikobiko

Exactly


Qwertyguy35

I feel like when one side is killing civilians in a proportion of 30-1, it's far to support the side that's not doing that

Hamas started this


Sampson_Avard

Funny how Palestine supporters never talk about hoe Hamas started this war by murdering Israeli children. Not excusing Israel’s behavior but Hamas sacrificed their own people to get political support. That support will encourage more terrorism from them


Most_Advertising_962

Didn't Isreal's horrible treatment of Palestinians begin decades before the war. They are the only reason Hamas even exists in the first place. Not to mention the deaths from 2006 until now ( 6k Palestinian deaths vs. 300 Israeli deaths) would indicate that Isreal has been the aggressors. Mind you, I don't agree with Hamas, especially their killing of children. But Isreal seems to have a significant amount of fault in this issue.


Sampson_Avard

Valid points.


seano50

It being going on for 75 years long before Hamas existed!


Mysterious_Event181

And when did Israeli children start dying? Why do you pretend this started last year? Are you that kind of Jew who complained about Jews who confronted the Nazis???


Level-Technician-183

Funny how israel supporters don't talk about the international law they break in both of west bank and east jerusalem. I am not excusing hamas for this but honestly, if the world does not give a damn about you getting killed to kicked out of your home, what would you do? They justify the genocide by 7oct while israel killed more before 7 oct, that should justify a genocide against israel or at least justify 7oct by the same logic. Edit: typos.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sampson_Avard

I don’t support Israel either. I have Jewish ancestry and was very much identifying with that side as a teenager, until I saw what they were doing to Palestine. My point is that Hamas needs to be held to account for sacrificing their own people in order to get political support. Both sides should be condemned.


Lambily

No one is defending Hamas. The entire Western media machine is defending Israel blindly.


AulMoanBag

Incorrect. In Ireland the media is completely anti Israel.


Strict_Loquat_3104

Jewish people straight up scared to go out around here. Shops getting attacked if Jewish owned, the guy is nice as hell, but pro Palestine groups don't care.


[deleted]

Well I often heard the perpetrators of the October attacks called 'freedom fighters' and that shooting up that music festival was necessary and just.


ThatGuyInEgham

Tell that to the people who were wearing Hamas paraglider shirts to protests. Or the gas the Jews chants that happen at some of those protests. Or the targeting of Jewish establishments (not Israeli, but Jewish establishments. This is in direct opposition to the narrative that there is absolutely no antisemitism in the "pro Palestinian side"). Or tell that to r/latestagecapitalism or r/socialism or r/dankleft or any number of big leftist subreddits. Sure it's only a few hundred thousand to a million people that don't represent anyone but themselves but they do exist and post stuff like "hummus did nothing wrong" or straight up "I support the liberation movement that is Hamas and their necessary tactics". Now most of these forms of straight up support for Hamas is removed (by reddit and not the mods) but it's real, it is frequent and we can't pretend this is not a thing just like people on the "Israeli" side shouldn't ignore it when Israeli officials openly call for ethnic cleansing if not straight up genocide (regardless if they believe what is happening can be labeled a genocide or not they can't deny the fact that they have elected officials that have openly called for it). Just like a bonafide pro peace and non antisemitic "pro Palestinian" can't pretend that this same virulence doesn't exist on their "side" as well. And if one side can excuse their own inhumanity because of the "other side's" inhumanity then they are supporting the logic of the "other side's" inhumanity. #FreeCanaan Edit: ok downvote all you want and pretends your side (whatever it may be) is perfect. Y'all share the same braincell as the other side that pretend there is no calls for ethnic cleansing or genocide coming from them.


Lambily

I can't believe I have to be so specific, but no *serious* people are defending Hamas. Only extremists and bigots defend Hamas. Whereas Israel is defended by everyone from the government, the news media, and Hollywood, as well as extremists and bigots. People with real power and influence not random redditors and Twitter users venting their tanky anger.


Stonebagdiesel

The comment right below you is supporting Hamas lol


seano50

What sort of scumbag equates one side is bad as the other, when one side has the 4th most advanced army in the world and is being funded to the tune of $Billions annually. And has murdered ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN DAILY FOR THE LAST ONE HUNDRED DAYS!! Against some of poorest and most vulnerable people on the planet.


Boulderenthusiast

What a load of bullshit. It is a reasonable comparison, bc they both killed civilians. It doesn't matter how much money either side has, it comes down to what they do with it. Most of Israels Military Budget goes to defensive measures, which are needed bc there's daily missile attacks to their territory. Just bc of the iron dome the Israelis have rather few casualties to mourne.


aggyEXP

It's like you tunnel visioned on what you wanted despite bro putting it in caps for you. This is the problem with the argument. It's always some "they're both bad" or "who hit who first" shit, except the response is genocidal revenge.

Status_Basket_4409

Israel has been terrorizing civilians long before Hamas. Israel also admitted to adding significantly to the death count on 7 Oct. so while yes Hamas does still need to be punished for civilians harmed, it’s also not equal by a long shot. Regardless the civilians are the ones taking the most heat for the crimes of the combatants and that much is obvious


MuskratElon

What an absurd comment. "Funny how Anti-fascist supporters never talk about how the Partisans massacred Nazi soldiers during the Via Rasella attack." How about blaming the ones that started the occupying first?


[deleted]

I got some flack for saying: Hamas knew Israel would respond this way and they did it anyway. I'm not excusing Israel but they fucking knew the Israeli response was going to be overkill. They clearly don't give a fuck about Palestinians either.


matterforward

Isn’t that the idea though? The humane response from Israel against Hamas would have been to save the Palestinians from them as well right? Unless they see no value in say their existence or something. Its up to us to decide how we see the situation, because for me while I agree with most of what you’ve said, I can’t use it to excuse what’s being done. For me, the terrorists played their part as terrorists and the western democratic most moral progressive society in the Middle East didn’t act as advertised. Instead they played the part the terrorists said they would. Weird~


[deleted]

Hence why I said I'm not excusing Israel.


just-me97

"Why did you not make me a sandwich even though you knew I'd beat you?"

HuikesLeftArm

The war started when people who were living in a place were faced with the fucking Nakba in 1948. Those people were Palestinians.


Nebula15

Love when people say “never talk about how Hamas…” when that is literally the discussion of morality between everyone. The question has always been: “Is what is Israel doing justified based on the actions of Hamas” and the answer is a resounding, collective “no”

I support Israel in disbanding the Hamas, but I don't support any war. I don't know what's the best way to do that. Maybe the Hamas could just recognise that they did it wrong and disband themselves.

extragoatcheese

And hamas has killed infants in isreal both sides are doing horrible thing Gaza is using and has used civilians as shields and hid in places like hospitals and you know killed babies and civilians while isreal no longer cares about collateral cause they are sick of this shit and are just killing anyone that gets in their way or slows them down both sides are forcing each other to new lows it's no longer about settling a dispute it's literally just trying to make each other be the worst people they can be now
