A connectivity blackout means people cannot contact friends, family or even ambulances to help the injured.

"A magical sky god war" is being financed by our taxes and Saudi royalty. There is no "holy war". It was always about resources, political influence and greed. Religion is just a smoke screen.

Just because you got bored of one war, doesn't mean this genocide should be overlooked.

The genocide has been going on for decades. The conflict in that region has been going on for centuries. And you’re right, there is a lot of interest in controlling that area for many reasons. One of them is religion. I’m not overlooking anything.
