Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children. (social-cdn.vivaldi.net)

Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before

That which cannot be found I desire

Where is the outrage?

It's there but media and the government are not covering it.

@index I'm not seeing it on social media either.

Some small scale actions but nothing like those in south korea or other places

@Zzyzx

I'm so disgusted by hypocrisy of all the blue MAGAts so disgustingly silent about Trump bombings of Yemen and massacre in Gaza

These hypocrites were so loud about tariffs against Canada and Mexico

This is sadly how mainstream liberals have always behaved. I remember when all the anti-war folks seemed to disappear into thin air once Obama got elected. I guess extrajudicial drone strikes are cool when Democrats do it.

The poem is beautiful. This is truly the greatest moral stain of this generation upon the West; to have supported genocide, and not any genocide but the clearest case of genocide in this supposed era of 'progress' and 'open-mindedness' There is no progress, people are clearly just as racist, imperialistic and backward as they were in the 100s of years ago. A genocide unfolded and the 'enlightened West' watched on. How will you get the blood off your hands?

Don't fall for the propaganda and don't lose hope people are smart, governments are spending billions to brainwash them and keep them stupid, they are spending so much that they are in damage control because they can't keep up with it.

The same way that this same regime got the blood of the native Americans off its hands: you bury it in history books so that only intellectuals will learn of the full genocidal scope of it all while the rest ignore them, it, and label anyone trying to warn the rest about it as tankies or malcontents.

Yes, but the ready excuse for the genocides of the past is, 'That was a barbaric age, everyone was awful. We are enlightened now. See, we gave gay people rights!' Well clearly, nothing has changed. They are still barbarously cruel. But since you're from lemmy.ml, I imagine you already know.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 hours ago

yes, preaching to the choir; but it needs to be said out-loud/in-writing nonetheless for the those who aren't aware.

There is only so much capacity for people to pay attention to stuff. Eventually people get numbers to this kind of tragedy. It's a defense mechanism.
