Reminiscent of the "We got him!" joke Jon Oliver would do for Trump every week when there was some report he was doing something illegal or insane. Except now it's just reports on Israel's conduct every month instead.
I wonder what it will take for us to finally give up the joke that we're a nation of laws equally applied to everyone, or in this case that we care about an "Rules-Based International Order".
However the predicted high numbers of dead caused by famine and disease have not materialized during the last half year.
Says who? Israel? I don't think you understand exactly what's happening over there. The devastation is everywhere. Millions are displaced. The health ministry is extremely overwhelmed. Not everyone buried in rubble, starved, or sick is being counted. Whole families are being obliterated with no one left to go over and report their missing or dead family members. There will be tons of missing people who will never be confirmed, because of all these factors. Not to mention, Israel is keeping the fog of war extremely high, not only with all the bombs but the targeted killings of doctors, aid workers, and reporters and journalists.
The estimates are in numerous places. There are the ones by the Lancet, but the letter by the 99 doctors and aid workers who were just in Gaza have their own that's higher, too. The point is, it's being corroborated by experts who are actually there, along with being based on past situations like this. I think the doctors actually dealing with this crisis who are on the situation on the ground have a better idea of what's happening than you do.
That's only because they haven't been able to count the dead because they've lost the capability. Doctors coming back to the US from Gaza are positive that dead have increased to around 100,000, although ice also seen 200,000 but no one knows now, due to many deaths under rubble, or due to starvation or disease that aren't able to make it to medical facilities. They don't basically don't have the capacity to count too much more.
I do have a feeling cell phones have made more kids worse since we were in school. I can actively feel my attention spam getting worse from the clip nature of news, short form content on the internet, and endless scroll content of sites like Reddit or even here on Lemmy. And I used to be a good student who read constantly, now it's just basically my phone lol.
So I'm guessing you would've been against the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising? Zionists do tend to have a lot in common with Nazis so I shouldn't be too surprised...
Or apartheid South Africa, Nazi Germany, West and East Germany, Yugoslavia, South Vietnam, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, the USSR, etc. Countries change all the time. Normal people don't care they just keep on living their lives. They're just lines on a map. It's weird people don't understand this.
That's a cute community idea! I've never heard of that instance so not sure why people wouldn't like it.
