Israel’s male flagbearer at Friday’s opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is believed to have signed bombs prior to them being fired against the Palestinians in Gaza, Anadolu has reported. Peter Paltchik, 32, used social media to show him writing “From me to you with pleasure” on munitions destined for Gaza.

    I mean their country is at war with Hamas terrorists, that’s who his message was to on that tweet and bomb. Now what the Israeli military actually used them for, who knows.

        Oh man, internet randos must have some real inside intel to track where individual bombs get dropped and what a government’s hidden agenda is! I live in the US and I’ve never been able to track where our military’s bombs are dropped, let alone where they’re located.

          I like the idea that you might actually believe that it really matters WHICH bombs got dropped on civilians rather than THAT bombs get dropped on civilians.

            I’m staying on topic? If the accusation is true, did Peter Paltchick who is being scrutinized here, knowingly sign bombs that were dropped on innocents or not?

                  Where does that right come from? Being on the land that they brutally colonized? Maybe if they hadn’t spent the last few decades trying to eradicate an entire population, no one would be accusing them of genocide. As it stands, the accusations are historically accurate.

              He knowingly signed bombs, doesn’t really matter to me who’s children it killed, he’s a psychopath.

          Oh, that’s easy! Our bombs are also located in Israel and they’re dropped on Gazan civilians.

        I have been paying attention. To me, Hamas launched a brutal attack on Oct 7th. And have been hiding under Palestinian hospitals and schools ever since.

          And what exactly happened over the last few decades prior to October last year?

            Easy one - terrorists constantly attacked Israel because they want to rid the world of Jews.

              Have you been paying attention to what has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank for the last 70 years?

                  Releasing hostages was NOT something Israel said would end the conflict. They pulled that little line out of their agreed deal. Temporary ceasefire if they release all hostages…so…long enough to look pretty for the camera and then start it all over again.

                  You’ve said before that the only actions taken in the last 70 years in that region were from Palestinians attacking Israel, ignoring every single event that Israel took the lion’s share in. Are you being willfully ignorant as to avoid finding out details you don’t like?

                  Not a single person in this thread is praising Hamas, no one is advocating for the death of civilians, or celebrating it. But they are calling out dehumanizing behavior, like personally signing (with a cute message no less) bombs that may or may not be dropped on civilians. Historically speaking, like, within the last week even, we can assume some of those bombs were dropped on designated safe zones.

              Why don’t they attack Jews outside of israel then.

              And why do they attack atheists inside of israel?

          If Hamas had been hiding under Israeli hospitals, do you think the same level of force would be used?
