  1. How to speedrun losing all international goodwill and alliance in like 18 months

  2. “The diplomats are from China, Brazil, India, Russia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, France, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Jordan, the UK, Egypt, and more”

    Who doesn’t love warning shots at diplomats, obviously the greatest security threat a nation can face, of over two dozen countries? I assume it’s a reaction of those rabid Schutzstaffel units towards the UK-FR-CA warning of concrete actions?

  3. The Israeli government and army do not want the world to witness the atrocities and report on them. That’s why they deny the admission of any journalist to Gaza and why they fire at European diplomats and diplomats from around the world. In this given situation they were willing to fire at foreign diplomats because they were close to refugee camp in Jenin/Westbank. They do want the world to know of the suffering they inflict.

    This angers me to a point that I start questioning the moral backbone of European leaders. Must be hard to for our leaders to live with themselves after initially supporting Israel and being so slow in ( or not even) condemning them for the genocide of the Palestinians.

    I want sanctions against human rights abusers, war criminals and mass murderers. We need to demonstrate and protest so our leaders implement sanctions.

  4. Bastards.

    When will enough be enough? They are openly endangering our ambassadors. This is beyond intolerable we need a strong unilateral response

  5. Something tell me this was well intentional plot.

    They rather have destroy the goodwill of European countries than the truth of what happening in west banks comes out

  8. The Israeli population needs to do something. This entire situation is a catastrophe for Palestine, but it is a disaster for Israel: if the worst happens, this will come to haunt Israel for centuries to come and, should the US spiral into domestic collapse, Israel will be left alone in the world. Once there, it’s impossible that entire region does not blow itself up between Israel and Iran, and absolutely no one will be there to help Israel.

    Moral and humanitarian considerations aside, the lack of strategic insight by the far right Israeli leadership is astounding. What can Israel get from this conflict other than condemning itself to eternal war, which they will always lose in the long run due to demographics and geography (without American and European support) unless they use nuclear weapons and hope the other side does not have them yet?

    I really think there’s a good chance that parts of the Levant will be glass by the end of this century. Israel has set something in motion that it won’t be able stop, the jenga tower is getting so high that when it finally collapses it will release megatons of TNT.

  10. I’m fairly sure shooting at ambassadors is an act of war.

    Strange thing for the ‘most moral army in the World’ to be doing.

  11. And yet they were still allowed to perform on Eurovision

  13. The most moral army in the world just defending itself of course, huh?

  15. Historians will look back at what the Israelis have done to the Palestinians with acceptance of the West with horror. We’re complicit in allowing this to happen. We can put an end to it if we want. I’m not Arab or Muslim, but what’s happening should break any decent person’s heart. Either we care about human lives on equal terms, or we don’t. 

    To hell with  our media for gaslighting us for so long… now Gaza is gone. Nothing but rubble left (have a look at the new satellite images from Gaza. It got updated days ago).

  16. They were Hamas diplomats! They were diplomats of terror!!

    /s just in case… Though I reckon that’s gonna be Israel’s reasoning anyway.

  18. Europe won’t do anything lol.

    Serbia got bombed for less.

  19. This is nothing new for them. My father was in two armies, the British and Irish army. While in the Irish army around the 60s or 70s in Lebanon they’d fire artillery over their positions that would land a short distance away, basically it was Israel saying “We know you’re there” He never cared for the Israeli government or army since then.

  20. They did this to diplomats so imagine the terror Palestinians have to live under in the West Bank effectively under military rule for Palestinians and civilian rule for illegal settlers.

  21. it’s ok macron will keep being pro israel even if his diplomats are killed

  22. Maybe now you’ll believe what the palestinians have been saying for decades.

  23. more Gazan children and civilians will die because there is still no full-fledged embargo on Israel. history will not write you well

  24. Let me know the Hasbara talking points on this one

  25. They’re just showing the world that they can get away with anything. Honestly, that whole country is a failed state and needs to be dismantled.

  27. I would bet on there being a video that shows the ‘warning shots’ were actually fired directly at them.

  28. Fuck Israel! Fucking genocidal mfs. How the fuck can anybody see photos of starving kids all over the internet and deny what is going on??

  33. Still israel will keep getting diplomatic as well as military support 

  34. After observing for some time the difference in how Israel news are received between this sub and the american majority on worldnews, I’m sure americans will find a way to blame the diplomats for this.

  35. 70+ years of aggression, murder, and torture: Europe is still behind Israel. But now, suddenly Israel has crossed the line! The hypocrisy is palpable.

  36. Imagine if Russia or any other country did this. What bullshit double standards

  37. The whole world cannot even stand against a tiny genocidal country in middle east (plus USA evidently). Sounds surreal….

  38. Europe and the US are the ones who funded and supported Israel from the beginning, for defense to Oct 7. When people told you, they have been doing things like this towards Palestinians before Oct 7, it was ignored by your politicians.

    Now that it is *obviously* too big of a counter-reaction, and they are hostile towards everyone and anyone who does not support them annexing and stealing land as well as ethnically cleansing people, the original point, which was Israel is an apartheid state, was true, and is true. Thank you for understanding this 18 months after the war started.

  39. Would a few warning missiles into Israel provide ample warning not to mess around? NATO bombed Serbia to get them to stop ethnically cleansing the Albanians.
