    Because I don’t think American’s truly understand how bad things are in their country.

    The ones that will see this Lemmy post do I think. I see yanks on here getting shit constantly but I haven’t come across a single one fitting the “ignorant” stereotype.

    You have a decent chance to survive somewhat unscathed if abducted by ICE. If you get abducted by the IDF you are basically guaranteed to be tortured, raped, killed or all of the above.

    The US is in a bad place, but i don’t think you truly understand how bad things are in Gaza.

      ICE seems to have already checked two of those boxes, torture and killing.

      And I bet rape must be happening in some of those ICE “holding facilities”.

      Let’s ask Canada how their recently returned disappeared patron is oh wait we can’t because they were killed.

      Let’s not downplay it, people are being tortured and killed by ICE and IDF because one government thinks certain people shouldn’t be in the country.

        Its bad yes, but its just laughable to equate a literal genocide with hundreds of thousands of deaths, to people stuck in a cell for a few days, where one ended up dying. Its an insult to the Palestinian people.

    Pretty sure this doesn’t fit the community, but also: ICE won’t shoot you with live ammo when you try to stop them.

    Edit: Gaza is a whole different thing, but the IDF in the West Bank is what ICE wants to be.

      For now. Don’t be ignorant, they all carry big guns for a reason - they certainly don’t go “rat-a-tat-tat” and light up when the trigger is pulled.
