It's Google Maps. I give them two weeks before they just erase the boarders and just call it all Israel.

This is not new. These satellite images have been on Google Maps for more than a year.

It's kinda crazy how quickly and efficiently the IDF wiped out an entire culture and forced the survivors into a near permanent diaspora for long after the person that reads this dies of old age. There may be no way Palestinians will ever able to be allowed to rebuild their homes within our lifetimes.

I'd love to see the monsters hang for all this in my lifetime. Every single corrupt politician in their pocket and every single billionaire that could have made any difference. The only way to make our world better is to rid ourselves of the ones ruining it.

The global systems we have now will have collapsed before they ever get the chance. Within 50 years, most nations will be gasping for any relief in the heat.

Sure if you ignore the content of the video and reduce it to that.

If instead you actually look at what it's showing you the crazy part is the devastation wrought in Gaza by the IDF.

They won't be able to. The Gaza strip was densely populated with a large number of apartment complexes. Those can't just be rebuilt.

The Gaza Palestinians still alive are either currently living out of tents with the hope that the bombings will eventually stop so they can have the opportunity to live in whatever gets built (they likely won't) or have already seeked refuge in another country.

Also, none of this is new. It's been happening for 80 years and has been in planning for over 100.

As someone living in a county affected by all this, it's kinda funny seeing place names and zooming in only to find a pile of rubble.

Oh God it was funny in my head typing it out is just depressing asf.

That Nazis liquidated Warsaw and it was rebuilt. Gaza can be rebuilt but the Zionist colony needs to be defeated.

Well they spent decades corrupting American institutions and planting favourable people in power, should they just not to make use of all that investment? /s

"Don't worry, Israel uses advanced precision guided missiles that only hit their intended target and leave neighboring buildings virtually untouched".

At least that's what all the apologists were saying back when all this was kicking off.

Purportedly the IDF can deliver a missile straight onto the balcony of the Iranian minister of defence or whoever it was. But can't find Hamas without tearing up whole cities, despite having said Hamas right next to them for decades.

This may sound controversial, but why not find some newyork rats, and drop them in Israel? Give them a real problem. But then we should also know that clean rats can be good pets and also good food. I'm vegan so I can't but in Mexico city they had people cooking rats and selling them in tacos and nobody could tell difference. Rats could be both a pest and a blessing at the same time.

If you think you hate Israel enough... No, you don't. None of us hate Israel enough.

Humans just aren't capable of as much hatred as Israel deserves.

While I agree with Google hate, they don't keep these images up to date for privacy reasons, you'll never see an image on Google maps/earth newer than a couple years ago because of this.

That said, I wouldn't put it past them to hide this because they jumped right on board the renaming of the Gulf and lake Ontario.

The devastation is difficult to fully comprehend. An entire city reduced to a fine concrete dust, and they're still not done yet.

Makes me sick to think that people could look at this and think it's justified somehow.

I've also lived in places like this and honestly the whole "hey let's go to the mosque downtown we haven't been in a while, let me look it up, yeah it's right here..... Oh, well at least we can go to the nice coffee shop by the sea let's zoom in to see when it's ope.... Oh...."

That's got some good dark humour in there. Maybe we need trauma to be able to laugh at this lol

Oh no they definitely hid the images. They are still hiding large parts of Gaza in the South because you can probably see NATO backed military bases there
