Thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza face starvation while IDF soldiers celebrate impending fatherhood with a bombing "gender reveal." The world must demand a cease-fire and end the brutal attacks on innocent civilians. #FreePalestine

One advocacy group said the act “clearly acts clearly demonstrates once again the brutal nature of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and on the Palestinian people,” said one advocacy group.

    From what I saw on aljazeera the title here is misleading. They bombed a building (fucked up and part of a genocide) and the dust from the building happened to be blue, and the IDF soldiers laughed (fuck them) and said it “looked like” a gender reveal. It was not an actual gender reveal.

      Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves blowing up a building in Gaza for a ‘gender reveal’, having rigged it with explosives that give off blue smoke to indicate a fetus is male.

      In a video posted to social media on May 5—with the soldiers reportedly sharing it on their own accounts—the IDF members can be heard cheering and laughing as a building in a civilian area is leveled by an Israeli bombing, leaving blue smoke rising from the rubble in the distance. The smoke signified that the soldier’s expected child is a boy—and the troops, members of the military that’s often called by Israel and its allies “the most moral army in the world,” gave no indication that they were thinking of any civilians who could have been in the bombed area as they laughed loudly at the “gender reveal.”
