"Dr Alaa al-Najjar, a paediatric specialist at al-Tahrir hospital within the Nasser Medical Complex, was treating victims of ongoing Israeli attacks across the strip on Friday when she was shocked to find her own children and husband brought into the hospital.

The children - the eldest aged 12 and the youngest just six months - were severely burned in the bombing."

This is cruelty beyond the point of comical, it's fanatical

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 minutes ago

They get off on it. I'm not joking. I would share videos of it, but there are too many. The hatred is cultural and engrained in society.

[–] [email protected] 110 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Quite possibly the worst thing I have read in a long time. The bounds of human cruelty are endless. Truly, we live in hell.

God works in mysterious ways

I wonder what you would've said if it happened to you!

"Think someone could spend half their life in a slam with a horse bit in their mouth and not believe? Think he could start out in some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and not believe? Got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God... And I absolutely hate the fucker."

What a profoundly retarded reply.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Retarded is believing that God is not evil.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago

Maybe scroll down just a little bit. It's supposed to be retarded. Some of us are retarded enough to know better.

I'm personally over the /s, if it's not funny, it's not funny. But I'll never sideline my own joke just to give people a heads up, the two most important parts of comedy are timing, and the element of surprise. I'd rather get nuked in the comments.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I think its more a /s of disgust. If God does exist, he is evil.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Except with text, crucial nuance required to convey sarcasm is missing. The /s is the textual representation of that missing non-verbal context.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

That's fair. I still suffer every time I see an online misunderstanding though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Or its just cruelty all the way down.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It is. I really do agreed with OP though, I'm pretty convinced this is hell. Look around a bit and it's hard not to think that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty convinced this is hell.

War is objectively worse than even the concept of hell. There's a great exchange from the show MASH regarding that exact topic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

I've never even considered this. Checking it out now.

I've always just assumed hell is each persons worst case scenario.

Edit, agreed, but for slightly different reasons.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I’ve always just assumed hell is each persons worst case scenario.

The silence by the leaders of my country is deafening

[–] [email protected] 86 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They're waiting until they can throw up their hands and say it's too late to intervene, before declaring that they never supported the genocide they supported.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago

History may be written by the victors, but the younger generations get to have the last word. We will never forget.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Too bad the citizens of my country didn't fucking wait for the timeline they want and assumed could demand.... and history will remember the worthless, genocidal war criminals that occupied the halls of power when those halls of power were being DIRECTED by normal every day voters in as clear as possible terms to stand the fuck down and stop the genocide of innocent Palestinians PERIOD... before it keeps spiralling into a much larger hell where there will be many more bodies of Palestinians, Jews and who knows who else will become the next target given the extremely precarious nature of geopolitics at this juncture and how conflicts evolve into larger and larger wars in ways that don't interface with rationality.

There are things worse than death, like spending the last 10 seconds of your life realizing that people will never forget your name as your are enveloped by a sense in the deepest fibers of your being that if there is an afterlife you aren't going to the good part of it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 23 hours ago

And most of the people who condmned the massactre of the two diplomats are magically no longer there

[–] MyNamesTotallyRobert 22 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (4 children)

well I sure am glad gen z and swing voters decided to throw away my future in exchange for putting a stop to this OH WAIT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, AS ANYONE WITH A SINGLE FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL COULD HAVE PREDICTED.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Thats what you take away from this? Have some empathy for the people being murdered by your tax dollars, including by your last President, you little Nazi supporting freak.

If anything, Kamala threw your future away because she would support these horrible child-killing maniacs than defeat Trump.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Thats what you take away from this?

Every ... fucking ... thread (that reaches some minimum critical size). People have to go "oh, are you happy not voting for Kamala."

I see it how you do. Kamala would rather throw the election than go against genocide.

If you want to win the country back, you need to unite with this people and get them back on your side.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

The side of idiots who said 'We don't like this genocide, so we're voting in a way that guarantees 10 more including at home while making the first genocide worse,'?

Why bother? These morons with room temperature iq in centigrade will just find another way to fuck things up.

Online bots will tell them 'oh, if you really want socialism, vote 'R' for 'Redistribute'! And the fucking mental defectives will fall for it again.

They're too stupid to be reliable, therefore we should focus on people who can be trusted to hold a thought in their heads.

Edit: honestly, how many chromosomes do you have to have to fall for 'If you really want to send a message that you hate Trump and his policies, don't vote!'

In Gaza, it is not only healthcare workers who are targeted. Israel’s aggression goes further, wiping out entire families.” In addition, at least 111 civil defence workers have also been killed. On Thursday, the health ministry reported that at least 53,822 Palestinians - including 16,503 children - have been killed in ongoing Israeli attacks across the blockaded Strip. Among the children killed, 916 were under one year old; 4,365 were aged one to five; 6,101 were between six and 12; and 5,124 were aged 13 to 17. According to the health ministry and the civil defence, thousands more remain missing and are presumed dead beneath the rubble.

Real death toll is 200,000+ I guarantee it.
