Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A few years into the future we will know what is really happening these days, and I feel loke the horrors perpetrated from Israelis will have compete with those of Russians in Ukraine.

They've already killed more Palestinian civilians than Russians did Ukrainian civilians. In one month.

Holy shit really? Do you have a source for that?

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

Kinda Yes.

Until end of September 2023, all civilians killed in Ukraine are around 9,500.

In Gaza, until yesterday, the death toll passed 9,000. As per the article, most of them were women and children.

I’d assume at least 7,000 were civilians since Israel has admitted targeting press personnel and ambulance convoy.

Russia doesn’t have Israel in its name. So they’re the baddies.

"will"? it surpassed it long ago.
2 years vs less than 1 month

I mean we mostly do. Sure some of the details might be fuzzy, but still. For example Israel actually took credit for this strike.
