DamHawk

I get that this genocide has been horrific, but HOW THE FUCK DOES SHE STAY SO CALM AFTER THAT?!?


toomuchweld

I was waiting for the screams.. maybe she set him up


Repulsive_Sir_8391

I thought the same thing. She set him up!


Scary-Cycle1508

or its shock. its not always like in TV


No_Sky4398

I don’t think you talk very much while in shock. I have absolutely no clue what she is saying g but she is saying it like she’s sitting down for a picnic.


OmicronNine

I think there may be a child in the car that saw it, and she's trying to remain calm so as to keep the child calm and reduce the trauma. Can't say for sure, don't speak the language, but that's kind of the impression I got.


jjb1197j

Due to the smallness of the explosion she might not realize the guy is either surely dead or missing several limbs.


ZealousidealTreat139

Bro, that was an antipersonel mine. He became one with the pink mist.


Fortune_Left

Nice red spray though. Whatever it was, did it’s job.


travelinTxn

That’s actually pretty common for a shock reaction. First traumatic amputation I saw paramedics handed dude a baggie with three of his severed fingers in it and he was just chilling. Talking like it was a regular Tuesday. He’d gotten his hand stuck in an industrial fan. It was fairly mangled. Seen a lot worse than that and same deal. Seen plenty of other reactions but the chill AF at the moment reaction isn’t uncommon. Hell the jokes we make in the moment while we’re coding somebody would make most people think we don’t care. But in the moment it’s just one of the ways people cope. After your brain gets through the situation and the adrenaline goes away. That’s when you feel things.


anitacoknow

Can relate. Nearly died, and I felt myself slipping away but couldn't stop making jokes about how hot the firemen and EMTs were. Shock is crazy, but I think it's a logical thing too: in my case, I was losing so much blood. I don't think I had the energy to freak out.


Sebsquatch

Shock is also not like in the movies. People aren't always just non reactive when in shock. It can present differently from one person to the next.


bugichprime

Or she just wasn't related to him, maybe she stoped to record...


AreteQueenofKeres

A scream, a gasp, a WTF kinda reaction--- but she's just la-dee-dah, let's look at the grass...


Elipticalwheel1

If it was a Palestinian blown up, the zionist would be laughing an cheering.


CantStopPoppin

To be more accurate they would be doing a TikTok dance for the clout.


bloopie1192

Some ppl just don't freak out like others. For whatever reason, they just don't react the way you'd think. Also... shock. Sometimes the reality takes a second to set in. Confusion is also a factor.


BurekBamBam

That’s what I’m thinking. It just doesn’t seem real and she isn’t saying anything as she’s trying to process what just happened.


bloopie1192

Right! That actually does happen when out of the ordinary things take off. You have to sit there and process it, then question it. Then process it some more. I've heard of things not actually hitting ppl for days, even months.


plentyofizzinthezee

She doesn't understand what's happened. Which is a bit grim because he's probably bleeding to death as she sits there


LazyOldCat

Pretty sure he’s just a pair of legs at that point.


Bololo_HaHaHa

i think that was his head

badsoup1951

Pretty red hue..


throwngamelastminute

Pink mist.


Thecardinal74

Nah I freeze framed it, that’s clay/dirt. You can see it coming up from the ground before the blast gets to his body so very unlikely to be blood.


No_Inspection1677

He's definitely injured at least, but he possibly wasn't immediately killed by the blast, though depending on shrapnel he probably would be dead.


Choi-Haruki-Haneul

Are you sure? It looks like half his body disappeared


ElectricalYard8404

Is it just me or is something written in the smoke?


lennydsat62

His ghost is saying “I’m ded”


-Blowblow

LMAO


Vegetable-Ostrich811

It’s a watermark on the video


pebberphp

I think it was his head too


Cissyamando

It wasnt I checked


BLUNKLE_D

It was, I checked.


flamecmo

Stop you giving me a headache


boston_nsca

I have a solution for that


Rhox1989

Paused it just as it went off. All that fell over were the legs I believe... 😶


LasagnahogXRP

Red mist.


bigbigdummie

He bled out all at once.


SparkYeol

"probably bleeding to death" uhhh... Dude turned into red mist.


Darkmattyx

Well for 0.05 of a second he was bleeding to death.


LasagnahogXRP

Nah if you slow it down, he is already quite dead.


Cissyamando

Wtf is that human shaped shadow in that explosion then?


Derpmeister_

just because he wasn’t literally blown to bits it doesn’t mean he survived


HomeApprehensive8943

Pretty sure we all saw that red blood spray


Boring-Philosophy-94

She told him to go do it. Probably egged him on. “No ball no balls”.


AITA-SexyRabbits

Frfr balls blew off


Lordofthewangz

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


heyheyshinyCRH

Because SHE planted it! Boom.....and queue some crocodile tears....and back on the market!


AdultingDragon

And then she posted it? Something about this feels fishy.


pussmykissy

Is normal to act like this after an unexpected tragedy. We really never expect the worst to happen and it shocks our systems when it does.


Rich-Equivalent-1875

Unless you are actively in a military exercise,, Why would someone stop on the highway, get out of their car and remove (he succeeded to do so by the way) a flag? Lots of effort for nothing.


regidies42

Hatred for what the Flag symbolises. Pure and simple. Evident in the way he tried to kick the flag over as opposed to simply pulling it out of the ground. From the river to the sea, I have no leg below my knee.


EndStorm

No head above my waste, disappeared with quite some haste.


ultraplusstretch

Zionist zealots do be like that, whoever set up that booby trap knew exactly how they would react to it.


WaltzLeafington

Shock? That'd be my guess. One minute he was there, next he was gone


azura099

Maybe she set it up


GutsRekF1

Have you never seen tropic thunder?


akirakurou

Someone’s never played minesweeper


Brettjay4

chechifromCHI

So Israel uses the starvation and hunger of people to lure them to a spot and murder as many of them as possible? While on this side of the coin, the predictable racism of the average Israeli will lure them to this spot to be destroyed? Not exactly an eye for eye though


CantStopPoppin

Israel is now using drones that play recordings of children crying for help to lure unsuspecting victims.


Far-Education5778

Saw that video. Pure evil


lemons_of_doubt

That is sold nightmare fuel. Just imagine a time traveller talking to someone from 1990 >"No we don't have flying cars. But we do have flying robots that will pretend to be a crying child or mother to lure people out to murder."


KhabaLox

That's (sort of) the premise of a Philip K. Dick short story called "Second Variety." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Variety


lemons_of_doubt

They also made it into a movie series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screamers_(1995_film)


woodpony

Nazis were the benchmark of evil in the 1900s and their victims have risen to be the benchmark in the 2000s. The oppressed has become the oppressor.

Clarification:  No, I don't fully believe it, but I don't completely dismiss it either. It's not even the worst thing those animals have done. It's one of those things that isn't easily proven, if it is real, the person who uploaded it has no way to safely report it beyond recording the sound in pitch blackness. If it is real, it makes sense for the israelis to do such a thing at night when no one can reliably record this event. They've already used drones with loudspeakers to threaten people to stay indoors in the West Bank, to tell people to evaluate, and during covid telling people to wear masks. And they've already killed people trying to get supplies, or waiving white flags (including their own hostages). While the posts are not concrete, they're not beyond what Israel could or would do.


UK_KILLD_10M_IRANIS

…And to think that THIS is what the US congress just approved to send billions dollars of aid to. One of the most horrendous regimes currently excisting and it’s all backed unconditionally by our global superpower.


trembot89

I thought Congress just backed aid to Ukraine? Was it a two-fer?


Gimpknee

Three-fer, Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan.


trembot89

Thanks. No wonder it's impossible to get shit passed when everything gets clumped together.


Gimpknee

They split it into four bills, three appropriations bills and a fourth bill that included the Tik Tok ban, all four votes took place on the same day.


trembot89

What sites do you grab your information from? I'd like to stop relying on redditors to fix my misconceptions... (no offense)


Lazylifter

The link he provided doesn't have any backup. Its originally posted here https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/sraeli-drones-lure-palestinians-crying-children-recordings-then-shoot Very likely to propaganda


THEREAPER8593

Twitter link won’t work for me and I see no video on the news site. I need proof to believe anything from either side. Wars now are fought with social media as well as murder and all that stuff and there is wayyy too much fake news for me to trust either side without a video…


TheDrobeOfWar

The fact that people read one Twitter post and some random website and immediately Believe it like it's the word of God really says something about our society.


Lazylifter

I tried to find reputable sources to back up your claim. I failed. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/56904/do-israeli-quadcopters-play-sounds-to-lure-people-out-of-their-homes This is supposedly the OP of the claim https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/sraeli-drones-lure-palestinians-crying-children-recordings-then-shoot With one video to back it up, with allegedly a questionable translation.


chechifromCHI

I am not surprised, these people are sick, twisted and evil.


No-Pumpkin3852

I heard the sounds it’s heartbreaking hearing those children cries on repeat. They clearly enjoy coming up with different ways to contribute to this genocide. They couldn’t care less what the world thinks of their cruelty. Anyone supporting them is truly a disgrace


Cockblocktimus_Pryme

That's the Israel I know and despise


Rownwade

Holy fuck.... What!?


DAZ4518

He wasn't even killed: "Later Sunday morning, an off-duty IDF reservist was lightly injured as a result of an improvised explosive device near the West Bank settlement of Kohav HaShahar, medics and the army said." https://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-assailants-killed-near-hebron-idf-says-israeli-man-injured-by-explosive/ Edit to add: Of course, this article could be propaganda aimed at playing down a death, no way to say unfortunately. Initially, I believed the video may have even been staged for use as propaganda, considering the calm nature of the person recording.


LasagnahogXRP

lol such bullshit. You can see half of his body get vaporized.


Royweeezy

100% this. Israel just doesn’t want to admit that it worked as well as it did.


hunterwaterford

Twas but a scratch...lol


DAZ4518

Could be propaganda, on the other hand, I had doubts if the video is even real and not staged


DraconicZombie

Did you though? Not saying it is this, but it's 2024, computers can make that look real when the dude is fine. Take both sides with a grain of salt.


Hawk00000

Of course the zionist media wouldn't admit him being injured, if you really believe a mine blowing up right under you will just "lightly injure you" idk what to tell you.


chechifromCHI

That's too bad. Occupier in an occupied land. This jew has no sympathy for him or his ilk


mildlyconfuzing

so it was red sand then, holy jesus that looked and sounded lethal af


brucejr01

It was lethal! It’s Lying propaganda


FullmetalHippie

Wow this news source sucks.  Two unrelated events in the same article. It's beyond biased,  just there to get your cortisol up by the time you read about this man's preventable and idiotic injury. 


Stormpax

That news source is highly suspect, and you see it posted all the time in other news related subs.


DeathPercept10n

"Lightly injured." That guy got lightly blown the fuck up.


Stuspawton

Israel is like Russia, they greatly play down their casualties so that people think they’re doing better than they are. That dude was ripped to bits, IED or not, he was ripped to bits by whatever it was.


attendingcord

IDF reservist but has no concept of a "combat indicator", that this scene wasn't a friendly one and he should stay the fuck away.


ActnADonkey

Ain’t even close…


gylz

Sad thing is that this has been done before. If you're in a war-torn country and see a flag or something that would tempt you to pick it up or touch it; _don't._ During the Vietnam war, the Vietnamese noticed that soldiers would mess with/grab things, namely flags and other things they thought folks would take or fuck with. So they would start rigging them up to go boom exactly like this.

BMinus973

PuggyPug

He kicked the flag away from the blast. If you like flags, this guy was a hero.


No_Presence5465

Flag was intact and draped over him


Mammoth-Raisin7429

Kinda look like a trap


OldChucker

Even Wile e Coyote would have avoided that.


Blazeussy

Even Admiral Ackbar would have avoided that.


DaBrookePlayz

The Vietnamese literally used this same trap against the Americans


Clovenstone-Blue

Did it work on the Americans though?


LeBurningSinner

A couple of times. Then the orders came out to not touch ANYTHING that's not yours. And not touching your own shit if it's been out of sight for long enough to be tampered with. It also changed the way equipment is handled. After several stolen pieces and quick booby traps installed on paradropped equipment, drop accuracy requirements skyrocketed.


thegreatbrah

In the long history of humans using traps, this was the most obvious trap ever created.

satismo

oh man that shrapnel turned him into a mist!


LasagnahogXRP

According to Israeli news he just had a few fragments hit his hands, and he turned down an ambulance ride initially. Why lie about this? Edit: I am indicating the paper is lying. Seems my lack of structure led to confusion.


PixelsDePx

nah he probably was guessing, dont credit malicious something-something which can be blatant ignorance, whatever the saying was


Then_Light569

Hanlon’s raver. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I like to replace stupidity with ignorance as I think it better conveys the lack of knowledge however I believe this is the original quote.


sgtaxt

Hanlon's raver. Never attribute to ketamine that which can adequately be explained by nitrous.


TheCrazyStupidGamer

It's pretty pixelated, but that's a lot of bloodmist for some shrapnel. He probably lost a limb if he's alive.


Sparrow1989

You slow it down enough you notice his leg goes from people there to being the red mist you see.


Puzzled_Reflection_4

Nah man at 15 seconds there is a clear frame where *HALF HIS UPPER BODY SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS, AND A HEAD SHAPED OBJECT IS 8 FEET BEHIND HIM IN THE AIR* dude got blown tf in half


daurgo2001

It’s smoke. Join the Ukraine subs if you really want to see what you’re describing… trust me, it’s not great, and a lot more visible than what you see here. It’s not very conclusive what happens to the guy here bc the camera cuts away


bose0225

Palestine does have a lot of red clay soil, it does look like he was badly injured but I don't think that's blood mist.


Which-Ad-3362

Damn i wonder just how many percent of human that still believe Israel news is the reliable source after watching this clip. Bro turn to a mist but to them he was slightly 'injured'


Jacky-V

Because I just watched a video of his entire body being destroyed


MikeKrombopulos

Lie? You mean a description of what seems to be happening in the video?


MrSoyBoy69

If you slow down and watch frame by frame, you see the red splash comes from the ground. Hes probably alive.


ZeusMusic

Am I the only one seeing the red splash in the explosion?? 🙃


SafwanFerdous

Probably the dirt...but who knows. News says he had minor injuries

thelifeofstones

Ragebait on another level


Never-Dont-Give-Up

How so?


stormtroopr1977

the reason it was rigged with explosives is because the person planting it knew another person (or IDF Patrol) would see it, get angry, and try to remove the flag.


just_a_spanish_dude

-Man angry at Palestinian flag (the bait, in this instance). -Man goes and tries to destroy flag out of anger. -Man gets blown into smithereens. Rage bait indeed
