    As the honorable President biden said “It’s just the price of war”.

    War unfortunately brings death to innocent civilians in droves. We are still such a barbaric race :\

      Curious what you think he should say? Because I completely agree with him. It’s just a war about a magical sky God, and his magical holy land that is entirely made up and absolutely not worth fighting for.

        “It’s just the price of ethnic cleansing and genocide” really doesn’t have the same ring, does it.

          I think it sounds better actually. That’s what it is. Both sides doing the same thing. Let’s not mask it and pretend it’s anything but that.

            It’s not both sides doing the same thing. Israel has been displacing, brutalising and killing Palestinians for 70 years. Israel has a modern army, a modern air force, nuclear weapons and a functional economy.

            Since 1948, Israel has taken the vast majority of the land and continues to chip away at what little remains to Palestinians through illegal settlements in the West Bank.

            Gaza is an open air prison that Israel constantly surveils and bombs, controls who and what gets in and out and even regulates how many calories per day Gazans are allowed.

            It’s not both sides doing the same thing. It’s a settler colonial apartheid state brutalising an indigenous people who are holding on for dear life.

        No it’s not. It’s about settler colonialism, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

        Fighting to the death over dirt and rocks, basically.

        We should be reaching for the stars right about now, but here we are dying for dirt, rocks and oil…
