Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

And where the fuck is the outrage for the thousands of children kidnapped by the Russian's in Ukraine? The ACTUAL definition of genocide is a lot different than collateral damage caused by war. An ACTUAL genocide is happening right now in Ukraine with concentration camps (filtration camps) and all those bells and whistles. This world is fucking stupid sometimes. What is happening in Gaza is small fucking baby potatoes compared to what is happening in Ukraine. Russia also supports Hamas so maybe that is where all this propaganda comes from on this sub-lemmy? Its terrible. Fuck this entire sub.

Calling it a war is a lie. There is only 1 army here. The people dying are innocent civilians. They cut off water food and medical supplies to 2.1 million people. They're bombing homes, shelters, hospitals, evacuees.

This didn't just start this month. This is the culmination of 40 years of apartheid. And this is a textbook attempt at genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Absolutely present? Are you whataboutisming the murder of kids? Whats wrong with you?

Edit: since this person wanted to add a paragraph to their comment (without notation btw) Also fuck Russia, fuck Hamas and fuck their justifying 3000+ children's murder as collateral damage.

A person can be outraged by both. This is not a competition.

Crickets chirping. Absolute silence from you on Ukraine.
