Sorry no one is commenting. Our world has failed this child. Pointless war. For pointless power. And pointless profit. For pointless things.

And they made another one terrorist in future

Pointless genocide for a pointless land grab.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The genocide is the point.

I think both are the point from Israel perspective, but those of us who know a bit of bg and doing automagically invoke some lame excuse for it consider it pointless. It just blows my mind, especially since the dna is so close, excepting European Jewish, ashakanazi (is that still the term?).

Or maybe it’s just me. I just see so many needless lives lost over such abundant resources on the planet. Yea water and other things need addressing asap, due to mismanagement due to greed. And it’s not even that it need not be that way, even though needn’t be, or that we’ve not always done that, directly or by proxy. It’s just that it’s so much more and so much more blatantly, since, well…certain demographics voted for everything when they needed and could claim, then voted against so following demographics couldn’t. And that same demographic group did original Woodstock, pushed for acceptable off more marginalized people are now fully fashy.

Oh yes, I fully agree. It's a despicable waste and tragedy that net'n'yahoo should never live down. He should go down in history as just as cruel and awful as pol pot and the other horrible mass-murderers throughout history.

That alone made me call to mind this rather poignant and moving Dream SMP fansong called "Vantage" by Halfy & Winks (and also a few hundred more teenage and adult musicians and choir tryouts), of which its lyrics could also apply to what's happening to us, not just in Gaza, but also in Ukraine, and in South Sudan, etc...

Such a pretty song.

The most ironic part is that the media from there is so graphic that western media doesn't even allow the genocide to be broadcast uncensored.

The war would end a week if they did. Which is why they don’t.
