get those numbers up
Israel is killing their own people and staging it as suicides in many of these cases.
Committing a genocide tends to break people...
What do you think? Every country has this problem if and when a war 'persists'.
Russian Soldiers Confront PTSD, Alcoholism and Suicidal Thoughts After Fighting in Ukraine
The battle Russia has not yet fought: The mental health of its war veterans
And, not to forget, there are also victims:
Ukraine: Mental Health Crisis Intensifies for Children
There are -unfortunately- many reports on that across literally all wars.
Good.
OP's post history contains exclusively pro -China and anti-Western propaganda narratives, but this here has a special spin. Not that condemning Israel's atrocities is wrong, but while posting this here OP's communities literally celebrating Russia's atrocities against Ukrainian civilians or China's genocide against people in Tibet, East Turkistan (Xinjiang), and Inner Mongolia.
As one study says:
... The presence of left-wing extremism on the Lemmygrad. ml instance of the decentralized social media platform Lemmy, from its launch in 2019 up to a month after the bans of the subreddits r/GenZedong and r/GenZhou ... reveal a substantial increase in user activity and toxicity levels following the migration of these subreddits to Lemmygrad. ml. ...
[Users] frequently share posts that support authoritarian regimes, as seen in their support for China, North Korea, and Russia. Moreover, their support can extend beyond backing these authoritarian regimes, even cheering on their violent actions, as evidenced by their posts on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Additionally, we observe anti-Zionist and antisemitic behaviors, which show similarities to right-wing extremism ... Our analysis suggests a concerning endorsement of authoritarian actions and extremist rhetoric on Lemmygrad. ml, further indicating that left-wing extremist communities on decentralized platforms should receive more attention from the academic community.
It's a deeply repugnant mindset.
You again? What are you Israel's fairy godfather? Disqualifying everyone that posts about Israel for lack of purity to the higher ideals of man?
You know whom else doesn't live up to those higher ideals? Israel.
Comment on the material provided, don't cancel it out of hand on some half baked allegations. Funny how every time someone criticizes israel, reports about them, we see this tactic aggressively pursued, but not with other subjects.
I already commented in another thread to these same empty accusations. No need to repeat that here.
Empty accusations indeed. You can't respond to subject so lob emotional slanders to obscure the issue. As if those accusing Israel's critics of being bad people have ANY credibility whatsoever. That you did that comment on multiple threads begs some questions.
That you did that comment on multiple threads begs some questions.
Yeah? Which ones?
You may have missed that OP cross-posted that, as much as you misinterpret my comment while ignoring some points. Intentionally?
Your post history is almost exclusively xenophobic state department issued bullshit about Russia and China. You have no right to call anyone else repugnant you are basically doing holocaust denial level of historical revisionism accusing a communist state of genocide to derail the post about the very obviously real genocide Israel is doing.
You are no better than a Nazi.
If they are no longer anle to atone for their actions by opposing their state and support palestinians their lives are meanless and their suicide would be a bless
