Israel mistook three hostages for Palestinian civilians and killed them.

Israel killed 20,000 civilians and counting. I wonder how many Palestinians of these 20,000 killed will make it on the front page of CNN, or any news outlet for that matter.

this cop also did this to another protestor:

i remember when Instagram mostly banned me from my account for an entire year after posting about police brutality and its' links to white supremacy and institutionalized violence -it was during the height of the BLM movement after George Floyd was murdered. i remember calling out ex-co-workers at the time and people on social media i was mutuals with at the time for saying 'but it's not all cops, some are good,' and my response to that, and will always be: policing systems do MORE harm than good in communities. cops get little to zero training and are allowed to bear arms and have a licences to maim, injure, and kill people (most of whom, are NOT threats). and it's beyond unacceptable. the amount of funding these fucking systems get too when it can be allocated to programs that ACTUALLY do good.

defund the police.

end the occupation and free palestine!

*also, a few people have noted this, but yes, I believe it appears that the cop spat on the memorial candles too. and the fact he will never be fired and told to give up his badge for doing such a heinous thing is just despicable* -and yes all cops are bad.

when ali died, sang-woo verbally justified his death.

"don't make a big deal out of it. he was just an old man you met here." (he was [somebody] you met here. to me this feels like him justifying his actions because he'd only just met him.)

when jung-soo/the glassmaker died, sang-woo verbally justified his death.

"we have to kill everybody else anyway to leave with that money."

when sae-byeok died, sang-woo verbally justified her death.

"she was going to die anyway. i just ended her pain quickly." "going home without a single cent? i can't do that."

but when sang-woo put the knife in his throat, there was no verbal justification.

sang-woo justified every kill he made, except for his own.

"sang-woo didn't feel any remorse for his actions!!!!!" (rant incoming hi guys)

okay. im NOT an expert in facial expressions at all. but compare these images, during the later games (1: on the glass bridge, unsure of when; 2: after marbles before glass bridge, eating the consolation potato)

to these. (before marbles)

although he's still quite distressed (in the death games, wow! who would have guessed!), after marbles was when he genuinely started to lose his mind and spiral downward. i like to imagine in his head he’s fighting a battle between the overwhelming, harrowing feeling of guilt, and the need to win the games/being so desperate and willing to do anything to get out with the money.

in the first couple images, his eyes have that glassy, faded kind of look to them.

i do also want to take into account that sang-woo very visibly felt and looked guilty during the dalgona game. not because he lied about the game exactly, but because he nearly sent his best friend into death.

while i think it likely fucked with him self-consciously, i do think he was able to deflect it with "well he survived anyway" instead of wallowing in it like later.

(another thing i noticed (credits to @degenerata69 for pointing this out, i forgot where they said it but it made me do some deeper diving) is that sang-woo was one of the last triangle-shaped cutters to finish. i do think he was taking his time to ensure it didn't break, but i also do think his thoughts of guilt slowed him down. also his hands are shaking before the gunshots go off (seen more towards the beginning) poor guy.)

now look at his face after killing sae-byeok.

still a heartless monster with no remorse?

I had a dream last night that Tech was alive, but captured by the enemy and brainwashed into thinking he was a woman called Annilise

Israel doesn't know where the tunnels are and the tunnels themselves aren't interconnected so flooding won't work. They tried this before and it failed.

This is just them salting the earth, making it impossible for Gazans to plant crops. This will ensure that Palestinians starve even after the Israeli army withdraws

at this point I've seen this being mentioned quite a few times.

That the reason Israel gets to do everything they do is because they're a jewish state so they can always claim the victim card.

And I feel like that is misleading. Like yes the Israeli state does use that excuse, but in the end it's really just propaganda.

The real reason Israel gets to do what it does is that it's beneficial to the west. Western countries have done all the same things.

It's not a product of Israel being given too long a leash. Because I can pretty much guarantee that this was the intent from the start.

It doesn't feed into some grand conspiracy that jews control the world. Because, well. They don't, at all.

The second Israel isn't beneficial to the west, and especially the US, then Israel is done for.

Like don't let yourself get hooked into anti-semetic talking points just because you hate Israel and want the palestinian people to live. Keep to the facts remember your love for people, and remember that many many jews across the globe and even in Israel oppose the regime. Remember that the world doesn't suddenly love jews. It's just been given an excuse to openly annihilate another group they hate, which in this case are the arabs.

We all have to be motivated by love rather than hate, it's the only way this whole situation can be anything but pure loss. It's the only way we can keep any humanity
