Considering October 7 had 695 civilian deaths (of a total of 1139 deaths) we are seeing a much higher than 30 times Oct7 numbers. It’s more like 50 times (35,000+ deaths in Gaza).
Even if you would count all killed adult men to be Hamas (~70% of deaths are women and children), the number would still be 35 times higher than the death toll of Israelis on Oct 7.
And we’re not even taking into account the number killed by friendly fire on that day.
Isn’t it interesting how Israel and pro-Israel people apply the exact same tactic?! Let’s attack innocent people. Whether it’s bombing innocent civilians or violently attacking peaceful protestors. It’s so telling. They are rotten to their core.
Good, do it! I hope this will be the start of a flood of countries following suit. All some of them need is the realization “wait, we can do that?”.
And I know a lot of these zionist supporting countries won’t change, but one can hope.
“Well, that’s exactly right. And there have been allegations made by the Netanyahu government that up to 14 of those 13,000 people were involved in the horrific Oct. 7 attacks,” he said. “We should investigate it, we should hold all those people accountable. But … let’s not hold 2 million innocent Palestinian civilians who are dying of starvation, let’s not hold them, essentially, accountable for the bad acts of 14 people.”
And this is it. Every leader who immediately cut funds is more than happy to pull a Netanyahu and punish the lives of many for the acts of a few (if there is even a hint of this being true, which considering where it comes from and the provided proof, is highly doubtful). Investigate and deal with anyone who did take part in October 7, but don’t punish everyone. A long time ago we all agreed that counts as a war crime.
It clearly shows Palestinian lives are not worth the same as other lives. Why else cut all the funding to 2M+ people over the alleged acts of 0.05% of the employees of UNRWA.
We’re doing this again?
Sure, if bombs count as aid…
I have been using Firefox as the default browser on my iPhone for a while now. It wasn’t complicated to setup either.
The military on Sunday didn’t comment on this attack but said it “follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm.”
Bunch of clowns 🤡. Do they even believe this themselves?
Israel will sign it. The US will say “See? They signed it” and nothing will change. We all know the US blindly trusts Israel’s word.
“You can’t fire me, I quit!”

Children with acute malnutrition have weakened immune systems and are at higher risk of dying from common childhood diseases. Those that survive could face lifelong growth and development challenges. They risk facing a future marked by illness, poor school results, and poverty with ripple effects across generations.
From the WHO on malnutrition in children. It looks like that’s a win-win in Netanyahu’s books. If they don’t die now, they will have severely impacted lives. So in 15-20 years we will hear how uneducated they are and incapable of taking care of themselves.
Can we just get rid of vetoes? What’s the point?
Find out who organized a protest that you would have wanted to join, start following them on social media, they will usually announce any upcoming protests there.
You can also try Googling to find organizations in your area that match your ideologies by entering {ideology} + {location} in Google, e.g. “BLM San Francisco” and sign up for newsletters.
In the beginning it will be a lot of active looking but once you start following the right accounts on social media and you’ve signed up for some newsletters/mailinglists, you should be able to passively consume what’s happening next and where.
Now is exactly the wrong time to halt funding for UNRWA … We should not collectively punish millions of people for the alleged deeds of a few,” Norwegian foreign minister Espen Barth Eide argued
Norway gets it. I don’t understand how this is even up for debate. Say these claims are true, how does that justify punishing the whole population of Gaza? But then again, that’s what’s been happening since forever so it shouldn’t surprise us… it’s just so saddening to see so many countries callously pulling funds as if it’s nothing. Wtf it’s wrong with these countries?
It’s only the party of Law and Order for non-white people though, so…
Yesterday there was an article by CNN saying they didn’t see any proof of the claims by the IDF. Is there now proof or is the National Post just repeating what the IDF says? I read the article but it didn’t provide any clarity…
I also noticed that judge Sebutinde voted against everything. I wonder why? Why would anyone vote against an order to provide humanitarian aid?
Edit: removed a word
Who wants to place a bet if Israel is going to give a shit?
My vote is on “keep going and keep denying”.
I don’t understand why people have a problem with fact checking organizations. Whichever side you’re on, unless you’re actively out to cause harm with misinformation, why wouldn’t you want to know what’s true and what’s not?
The one where Israel attacked Jenin in the West Bank in July of 2023?
