    I’ve said this before and I will say it again. This period of time will go down in history as a particularly dark time in human history. The fact that not only is this happening, but efforts to stop it from people with real power to change it is incredibly minimal. The world powers letting this happen is perhaps worse that the Zionists doing it.

      I hope this will wake people up that our governments don’t work for us and will lead to reform to hold leaders accountable for acting against the will of the people for their personal benefit.

        I hope this also kills the centrist obsession with “both sides”-ing every political controversy where people on the left are screaming at the top of their lungs “PLEASE SAVE THEM” and people on the right are screaming “KILL THEM ALL” and then sternly scolding the “please save them” crowd that this isn’t the right time and place for that kind of rhetoric and anyways it unnecessarily divides us and gives the “kill them all” people even more power.

          People say this and then go me to vote for Biden, a geriatric genocide funder, ie a centrist who pretends to be liberal to get votes and support.

    I guess once this is all said and done we’ll say never again, but we did that after WWII and here we are trying to tell the victims of genocide in WWII to remember that it’s a bad fucking thing and don’t do it.

    Just what the fuck.

      North Korea has been running dozens of literal concentration camps, but dealing with that has been too inconvenient. And it’s only becoming more so as time passes.

        Yeah, and China, and Myanmar, and it wasn’t my intention to trivialize those - they are anything but. I was more pointing out that the last time this particular group was involved and the reason they’re even on that land at all. The irony of the whole messed up situation.

      Israel is worse than that, unfortunately. They are a culmination of Nazi Germany, the colonial British Empire, and the warmongering USA of the last few decades.

    Fucking disgusting. I don’t get how so many can just be ok with this. Forget your holy war or whatever the fuck it is, these are people and this is barbaric.

    That’s really rough. The article says he died from a combination of respiratory infection/malnutrition. I bet the respiratory infection was aspiration pneumonia because they were trying to feed him with whatever they could get their hands on due to his cerebral palsy related dysphagia. Ended up just adding to his problems.

    I hope everyone realizes that most of Israel is against the government and what they are doing.

    I’m surprised after the holocaust that the government has the fucking nerve to inflict the same type of treatment on others.

      On this, I’m with you. It’s so ironic it’s absolutely wild and disappointing and depressing.

      I hope everyone realizes that most of Israel is against the government and what they are doing.

      Regarding this, it’s very difficult to “realize” when most of the media portrays the Israelis as super racist scumbags. I can’t believe some of the things they are shouting at each other (both sides actually but especially the Israelis), and especially considering the other thing you mentioned regarding their history during WWII, and prior. The media (social and otherwise) is showing us video evidence of widespread racism against the Palestinians, all the way from the country leaders (on both sides, granted). It’s hard to deny having seen those images. But it’s also hard to judge how selective the reporting is.

      I, for one, have not “realized”, because I can never have the data necessary.

    Sounds terrible Hamas should release the hostages so the war can stop and kids won’t suffer anymore.
