    I mean to be fair, there’s nothing you can write on a bomb that makes it better

    “Hope this message finds you well”

    “Tell your mother I said thank you for the birthday card”

    “Save 10% at checkout when you enter the code FREEPALESTINE”

      I don’t think people write on bombs to make it better, it’s to add insult to injury death

      This old picture has the writing “Easter eggs for Hitler” on the bombs. I think the use case makes the biggest difference for whether writing a message is perceived as sinister. A bomb which is being sent to someone who has been confirmed to regularily attack civilian targets is not great.

      That’s very funny.

      I wonder what the earliest example is of someone writing messages on outbound projectile weapons, or if there are any examples of messages being received, in other words, like if a bomb with a message on it turn out to be a dud and landed in the general’s kitchen or something.

      Probsbly some good material would come to you. You ever write jokes?

    I’m never going to be on the side of Hamas, but there’s no need to make a mockery of something that will surely involves civilian casualties. Shame on her.

      Yeah, lots of people did similar things for Ukrainian bombs and shells. Even though they were much more likely to hit combatants, it still felt really weird to write memes on stuff that likely will kill someone (yes even a Russian war criminal). It just felt inhumane.

    Reported as a duplicate, and, yeah, it is, but from a different source. Technically should be removed but the additional engagement makes it keep-worthy.

    She hates those kids running away in ambulances. It’s very important for her to let the kids know how much she would like them to be finished.

      Nobody wants to see those kids die more than Hamas. It is pan-Islamism’s strongest weapon against the world’s western democracies. These kids are victims of a religious cult that put them in harm’s way on purpose. The bomb is actually for Hamas, not the kids.

        So Nikki Haley is in agreement with Hamas and supporting the thing they want?

            Hiding Hamas members under 1,000,000 children’s feet and awaiting their deaths is both the thing that requires Hamas be finished off

            You are fucking disgusting. If Israel can only “finish Hamas off” by killing 500 000 children then Israel is fucking incompetent and needs to find a different way. There is no reality in which that is acceptable.

              Obviously that would be unacceptable. That isn’t what I suggest. 500,000 people won’t be killed. They killed only 28,000 after eight months. What a joke to call that genocide. 99% of Gaza still alive, apparently not so insane as to get tricked into being human shields for terrorists. They knew what the tunnels were for when they put Hamas in charge and let them sink shafts through all their colleges and hospitals and apartment buildings. 450 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 miles wide. Sold out the foundation of the land to kill 1,000 Israelis, nearly all of them Jews. I’m sure the Hamas leaders get paid by Iran per Jew killed

              Hey, maybe instead of seeing more dead kids, the people of Gaza could, I don’t know, help defeat Hamas and maybe someday know hope and prosperity, rather than living in abject poverty under a “government” that is happy to see them die to Israeli bombs? Just an idea. Doesn’t seem like the current course has worked well for Gazans. If I were the 99% in Gaza, I’d be looking for change, but hope and free will are other victims of Hamas’s leadership of Gaza.

              Nobody is going to miss Hamas when it’s gone and it will be gone. Bet. Will you admit to being wrong about all this when the IDF does finish off Hamas, stops bombing targets, and ~98% of Gaza is still alive, ready to help rebuild?

              E: To the utter know nothing that reported me for advocating killing children. Literally eat shit. How dumb could you be to read this and think I would be so disgusting as to suggest children should be killed? Sorry the news made you so sad. Really, though, reporting my post for saying war is necessary *even if *some kids get caught up in it, that’s the same thing as saying children should be killed? No, dumbass, every one of those kids body’s is on Hamas. Everyone of them was an unintentional casualty of Israel defending itself from Hamas’s leadership. 15,000 reasons for Hamas to be destroyed, and maybe then the next generation of Gaza can have a chance in hell at actually living a normal life. Your happy to sentence millions of Gaza to live and die under terrorists because you are too sad about reality.

          Ukraine is a sovereign nation with a fairly and democratically elected government, who was the subject of an unprovoked invasion for territorial conquest. What a joke to compare the two. Russia is defending itself from jack shit. Russia is leveling apartment buildings and killing civilians by the dozen, and they aren’t making any claims that there are terrorists inside the buildings or tunnels dug under them, they are making no attempt to warn anybody. They didn’t ask anyone to evacuate. They’re murdering people without cause.

    Notice how the manufacturer’s writing on the bomb is in Hebrew.

    See, Israel has their own bombs to drop on Gaza. And when they do drop American bombs and Gaza, it’s the old shit that they already have, which they have to either use or decommission, before long.

      The labeling on any kind of product doesn’t represent where it came from.

      China makes all kinds of shtuff with English and a zillion other languages, and localizes them for export.

      I’m sure American arms manufacturers do the same.
