FUCK ISRAEL FUCK ISRAEL FUCK ISRAEL
Gaza before the war and Gaza after the war… it has become uninhabitable. Please don’t abandon us; we need your help.

Israel results in reduced contrast? That’s news to me…
(I appreciate the point of the comparison is all the devastation, but editing the photos to make it look better before, when the difference is obvious without it just gives people with different political views something to grab on to)
Isreal is clearing up that beach front property ahead of schedule.
How else will Trump build a casino there.
Wait, how would this help save them?
EDIT: Never mind, that might actually work! Still a question of how this will actually work, but at least we are not fighting the Israel military directly.
Genocide* (not a war)
It’s usually good to push people on this distinction IMO, but in this specific instance, the person whose post OP is reposting is literally a Palestinian living in a tent in Gaza begging for donations because all her possessions have been destroyed by
. She probably knows it’s a genocide and understands the distinction (modulo translating to English) 🙃.Genocide and war aren’t mutually exclusive
Right, but war implies it isn’t one side being massacred by the other because they don’t really have any army to fight back with.
Calling the Gaza Genocide a war hides the fact that there isn’t really any kind of armed resistance to Israel and that they’re just straight up trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza while colonizing it.
Hides it from who? Some dude who has lived under a rock and thinks a war of aggression is a good thing?

Not everyone is completely up on current events, and no one said it was a good thing.
Our words shape our thoughts. Call it like it is and don’t hide behind linguistics to soften the blow. Also, calling it a war is exactly what Israel wants, since calling it the genocide that it is makes them look all the more worse and keeps their genocidal actions in the forefront of the conversation.
Just call it what it is and stop using words that diminish he horrors that Israel is doing. Or keep calling it a war and playing into the Israeli propaganda.
We call WW2 a war despite all of the horrors against humanity was done during that. So why is this any different?
Because there aren’t two sides here. WW2 was a war, the Holocaust was not.
What part of WW2 would you compare to Gazans? Would it be one of the sides that’s fighting in the war, or the people subjugated by an occupying power that had no regard for their lives? And did we call that war or was there another name for that🤔
The indiscriminate slaughter of citizens of both Germany and foreign nations to replace them with “superior people”. See holocaust
Thank you for this. It is very sobering.
It sure is, and this isn’t even a great comparison because the satellite view images in each one have differences in color and resolution.
What are we supposed to do? If the great powers that be want us gone, they will do it. We can only try to survive.
Caring about the world is a hard road but apathy and despair are guaranteed to fail
I can literally feel that I can’t do anything right now. I’m broken, just trying to get one day of doing something productive. I have constructive plans too, I just can’t get a turn with them.
Well I am definitely not a doctor, but what you are describing sounds like it could be depression and/or ADHD. I can say from personal experience that medication can help.
Either way, another treatment is reframing your worldview. It is very true that the times are very dark. Evil people have gotten away with very much for very long. However, there are many signs that the empire is now waging its very last wars. I believe The day when it can no longer threaten civilians and independent nations around the world is only a few years away. If that’s right, we must go through a brutal and intense period of imperial collapse first
Well look, if people 20 years ago, people 5 years ago, Claude, DeepSeek, and now you, all tell me it’s ADHD, all I can say is I’m fucked atm, because I got into debt getting my brother diagnosed with Asperger.
EDIT: Still, I have one plan, there’s no confusion about what I have to do, I just literally can’t because my memory is Gorked, and there’s new problems every day from all the unresolved issues (obviously, I’m holding up my entire family right now).
It is ROUGH out there. My best advice is to NOT go to a regular doctor (GP/PCP) to try and get psychiatric medications. They CAN technically prescribe them but they don’t want to and they’ll kick and scream the whole way. If you are in the US, find a place with “behavioral health” in the name and go there. If you have insurance use their search, otherwise try heathgrades/zocdoc. It can take multiple tries to find a medication that works for you
