Every time I heard "how can the world allow something like the holocaust to happen", I am like: but the world didn't.
The world was occupied by White western powers. We had no say in this at all.
This was all white people.
They allowed it to happen.
They are the only ones who did.

Expect those numbers to rise the moment the ceasefire is set and Journalists and International observers can access Ghaza again.

Epidemiologists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine "concluded that the death toll from Israel’s aerial bombardment & military ground operation in Gaza between Oct 2023 & the end of June 2024 was about 64,300, rather than the 37,900 reported by the Palestinian Ministry of Health."
Estimated Gaza Toll May Have Missed 25,000 Deaths, Study Says
Analysis found that more than 64,000 Palestinians may have been killed by traumatic injury in the first nine months of the war.

I don't buy for a second that "white people" were "fooled" by the Israeli "we just want to bring the hostages home" narrative.
White people are not stupid.
THEY SUPPORTED A GENOCIDE FOR A YEAR.
That is not white people being fooled.
That's white people being on brand.

You think if Democratic leadership knew that losing the election might lead to a ceasefire in Gaza, then maybe they would have fought harder to win?

If you took the most vulgar, simplistic analysis from the very beginning — that Netanyahu was intent on genocide and would pursue it until he was forced to stop by the U.S. — you’d have been precisely correct.

Blinken is a deeply unserious person. He will be saying we are waiting on Hamas to accept the terms long after it’s already been signed. He is just a straight up liar.

Surprised by Oct. 7 and fearful of another attack, Israel weakened safeguards meant to protect noncombatants, allowing officers to endanger up to 20 people in each airstrike. One of the deadliest bomb...

Iranian toman is 80,000 now to the US dollar.
I remember when it was 800 when I moved to Iran in 1999.
Iranians can’t live under these circumstances.

let's play the Korean President Fates Bingo.
What will happen to President Yoon after he declared martial law?
Well, if the fates of any of the previous South Korea Presidents- with notable exception of President Moon- is any indication, it will be some seriously dark fate.

Of the 2 Koreas, South Korea is the one I find truly scary and frightening.
It looks civilized & cute, but it's really a psychotic right-wing patriarchal society that is literally more concerned with protecting pedos & rapists than their victims, while smearing innocents to suicide.

Husam was suspected of being a "terrorist" by the Alewite regime, by virtue of being born in a Sunni-family.
He was also sent to the frontline, because that's their policy with Sunni conscripts= be canon fodder & die.
It's why they wanted to send him back there after the hospital.

You got 10,000 refugees, amongst which 5 are dangerous sociopaths, killers or rapists.
Statistical reality: there is 0.05% of them are dangerous= negligible. Punish 9995 for 5?
Real-Life Incidents: Tell that to the 5 who wouldn't have been raped or killed if u didn't let them in.
Can't be won.
