thats like trying to convince an alcoholic to keep chugging beers.

 

the US is not doing genocide?

 

This is why twitter is so useless. This has to be like 12 people at this point but this is exactly the kind of post that gets magnified on that site

 

A broad!

 

How many wounded in Gaza?

 

The amputee crisis in the war on Gaza.

 

According to "the Israeli military and prime minister’s office, the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, the U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and Associated Press reporting", 92,000

With Gaza's death toll over 40,000, here's the conflict by numbers

I think one of the reasons behind the disparity is how much more condensed/smaller Gaza is, keeping many more people packed in bunches, which means when an Israeli/American bomb or missile is directed at them, a much larger group of people is killed/wounded

@David87

i think this clarifies what we were both referencing. looks like not an actual meeting, more like a brief exchange. not sure there's been any actual meeting so far. but as I thought, Harris says she would meet with her about an arms embargo not that she's open to an arms embargo.

that being said, Layla and others are being played for good PR by Harris. these people cannot be morally swayed.

 

700 books from one person is wild

 

Comparing casualties in Gaza and Ukraine is a weird approach to me.

It doesn’t require much mental capacity to recognize that both Israel and Ukraine are US client states who are leveraged by the US and the West to pursue their malignant and damaging foreign policy agendas. It is possible to recognize these dynamics while also recognizing Putin is not a good person and Russia is not an innocent actor (as has been noted, and ignored, ad nauseam in the Ukraine thread).

As Wharf noted, one key difference is Ukraine has the military resources to push back while Gaza is defenseless.
