In a shocking incident, horrific visuals are surfacing on the internet in which it can be seen that the Hamas militants are taking a semi-naked dead body of an Israeli woman on an open truck and parading in the city. It is said that the militants after attacking Israel are killing and taking the civilians as hostage. The militants took the dead bodies of the innocent civilians who were killed during the attack in open trucks and paraded them.

      more and more creative ways to employ racist “backwards savages” rhetoric every day. These people are no more religious than America’s top brass, their mission is no more religious than America’s manifest destiny, and their war crimes are no more religiously motivated than those of US troops.

        Are you seriously trying to argue that a war between two religious ethno-states that are a hairs breadth away from being theocracies isn’t religiously motivated?

          Don’t you think the more parsimonious explanation is that this is a war of apartheid and colonialism?

          There are Muslim and Christian Israelis and Jewish and Christian Palestinians. Sure, religion plays somewhat of a role in the conflict, but this is no more of a holy war than Operation Enduring Freedom or the Russo-Ukranian war, except that you wouldn’t ever accuse those of being about religion except in the context of this argument as a defense mechanism.

        This video is basically them tattooing “backwards savage” on their forehead. There is no other conclusion. You could have the most justified cause there is, but doing this completely and utterly cancels that out.

          I’d think Israel’s apartheid policies and ethnic cleansing caused this, but what do I know?

            And what is the root cause of that?

            This is like the whole lost cause bullshit of the Civil War. It’s about states rights, ok states right to do what exactly? All you have to do is ask why A is happening and get B and then ask why B is happening.

            To be clear religion isn’t 100% to blame there are other factors but you really can’t underestimate the impact it has on every single problem in that region of the world.

              If we’re gonna blame fundamental human instincts, I’d say what’s more to blame here is ethnicity since being Jewish is both a religion and an ethnicity.

                I don’t feel any particular human instinct to kill a women from a different ethnic group and drive her naked body around on a truck.

                It takes religion for that.

                Also “Why is your skydaddy so eager to have all of his followers hurt each other?”

                  The instincts I was talking about were religion and ethnicity bruh. And I’m saying that if you’re gonna blame one or the other, it’s ethnicity hands down.

          I don’t worship a god, I just don’t like seeing “barbaric savages” rhetoric in the wild. Whatever metric is being used to call them religious savages is equally applicable to America’s christian fundamentalist religious savagery, except that America owns more press.

              You’re missing the point. It’s a lemmygrad user. They’re not defending religion. They just go around saying “America bad” at every opportunity.

                  reddit atheism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

                  I literally said I don’t worship a god. That’s blasphemy. You should examine why you’re so much more hung up on making your magic sky fairy reddit arguments than you are about the Palestinians getting bombed right now

                    No it is not blasphemy. I want you to say the words “there is no Allah and the Holy Ghost was Satan in disguise”. Go ahead and commit the unforgivable sins of the Abrahamic religions. I am sorry you didn’t like reddit but that is hardly on me.
