How is this not a war crime? Precision bombs? Not targeting civilians? Genocide? Am I the only one who didn’t take a crazy pill today?

So very, very, very many questions. Trump thinks this is a strong response? Fuck.

50 children? The Biden/Harris administration sees this as a combo where the US will now reward Israel with a billion for every 10 killed.

So many people deem this insanity normal. It makes one ask if they are insane for questioning it.

To punish Israel for this, the Biden admin will give a strongly-worded letter about their red line ...

along with extreme sanctions on Ben Gvir, by robbing him of his challah, every Shabbath

A tragic loss of life

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's not "a loss of life". Loss of life is from an accident or disaster. It's something that couldn't really be avoided.

This event was an intentional slaughter of innocent human life. It's not "loss of life". It's genocide.

I agree. Sorry, English second language.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound so aggressive. I wasn't arguing against your statement, just the use of passive language in general to downplay what's going on.

And don't apologize for your English. You speak it well.
