One of the bakeries that Israel bombed in Nuseirat refugee camp had just received a shipment of flour from UNRWA meant to cover the food needs of the entire camp. Israel waited to bomb it once all the flour was unloaded.

        It makes me even sicker that we have no control over it at all.

        No matter who you vote for, you will be voting for genocide.

          This is the first time in my life I’m planning to vote independent. R’s are all awful as usual and I’m absolutely disgusted with Biden’s support of Israel.

        Worse, it’s been funding them at the expense of literally everyone else. You don’t have healthcare so Israel can kill children with war crimes.

        The US politicians are supporting this. Some citizens are protesting any support of Israel, others are just complacent.

      Over the however many years of the Donbass conflicts and the Russia-Ukraine war, less children died than in a few weeks of bombings by Israel. Russia has oriented their invasion primarily towards regions that are ethnically Russian. Israel has oriented their invasion primarily towards regions that are ethnically Palestinian Arabs. Today, the civilian death toll in Gaza (~7000) after less than three weeks of fighting is approaching that in the Russian War in Ukraine (~9500) after almost two years and already exceeds that of the Ukrainian War in Donbass (~3500) after 7 years of fighting.

      The Russia-Ukraine war is a war, and it reflects in how it’s been conducted. No single strike throughout either war caused 500+ civilian casualties. Neither side has tried to level the others’ cities entirely (though both sides have struck civilian targets and used disproportionate force). Neither side has sought the eradication of the others’ peoples. Both sides are, to a significant degree, similarly equipped and armed. Both sides could enter into peace negotiations at any time and those peace negotiations won’t involve the complete removal of either people from their country. The closest comparable is maybe Ukraine on Donbass, but the same still holds: neither side came even close to the level of disregard for human life that the IDF is exhibiting.

      Israel isn’t Russia-lite, Israel is worse. They’re not even close to comparable.

          Ukrainians aren’t just fighting for their land – like Palatine they are fighting for the survival of their whole people.

          I didn’t bother reading after that sentence.
          Just fyi, No Palestine isn’t just fighting for land, they are fighting for their existence (which has been slowly getting eradicated) and freedom of their people from the inhumane brutality of the occupiers.
