The 10-year-old boy who has become the face of starvation in Gaza
He was 10, but in photographs from his last days in Gaza, he looks both small for his age and at the same time ancient. By the next day, Yazan was dead.
I've said this before and I will say it again. This period of time will go down in history as a particularly dark time in human history. The fact that not only is this happening, but efforts to stop it from people with real power to change it is incredibly minimal. The world powers letting this happen is perhaps worse that the Zionists doing it.
I hope this will wake people up that our governments don't work for us and will lead to reform to hold leaders accountable for acting against the will of the people for their personal benefit.
I hope this also kills the centrist obsession with "both sides"-ing every political controversy where people on the left are screaming at the top of their lungs "PLEASE SAVE THEM" and people on the right are screaming "KILL THEM ALL" and then sternly scolding the "please save them" crowd that this isn't the right time and place for that kind of rhetoric and anyways it unnecessarily divides us and gives the "kill them all" people even more power.
Lol :/
But did the boy condemn Hamas before he died?
Fuck me, i just saw this while taking a 5€ cappucinno and brunching in a preppy coffee shop, and now i think how fucked up this world is.
It's easy to blame yourself for this stuff, but the people that are actually responsible take advantage of that empathy. All we can do is verbally condemn the people responsible and in some cases show action by attending or organizing public protests.
Its equatable to oil companies blaming consumers for plastic waste, oil spills, and fossil fuel emissions.
Thank you, I needed this reminder.
Fuck these genocidal freaks. There is literally no excuse to let this happen...
I guess once this is all said and done we’ll say never again, but we did that after WWII and here we are trying to tell the victims of genocide in WWII to remember that it’s a bad fucking thing and don’t do it.
Just what the fuck.
The funny part about that is... Isn't Germany supporting this genocide too?
North Korea has been running dozens of literal concentration camps, but dealing with that has been too inconvenient. And it's only becoming more so as time passes.
Yeah, and China, and Myanmar, and it wasn’t my intention to trivialize those - they are anything but. I was more pointing out that the last time this particular group was involved and the reason they’re even on that land at all. The irony of the whole messed up situation.
Is my country funding North Korean death camps? Suffering is suffering and all of it matters, but when my tax dollars are paying for it, it just hits a bit differently.
Israel through AIPAC is also dumping $100m on this election cycle aimed directly at progressive candidates. Fuck Israel hard. We don't want foreign interference in US elections from Russia, and we don't want it from Israel either. We should have cut those fuckers off ages ago.
Fucking disgusting. I don't get how so many can just be ok with this. Forget your holy war or whatever the fuck it is, these are people and this is barbaric.
Israel is the Nazi Germany of the Middle East.
Israel is worse than that, unfortunately. They are a culmination of Nazi Germany, the colonial British Empire, and the warmongering USA of the last few decades.
That's really rough. The article says he died from a combination of respiratory infection/malnutrition. I bet the respiratory infection was aspiration pneumonia because they were trying to feed him with whatever they could get their hands on due to his cerebral palsy related dysphagia. Ended up just adding to his problems.
Why are people still supporting this stuff? This is just tragic.

Nice. "Bypass Paywall Clean (D)" for Firefox worked.
I hope everyone realizes that most of Israel is against the government and what they are doing.
I'm surprised after the holocaust that the government has the fucking nerve to inflict the same type of treatment on others.

On this, I'm with you. It's so ironic it's absolutely wild and disappointing and depressing.

Regarding this, it's very difficult to "realize" when most of the media portrays the Israelis as super racist scumbags. I can't believe some of the things they are shouting at each other (both sides actually but especially the Israelis), and especially considering the other thing you mentioned regarding their history during WWII, and prior. The media (social and otherwise) is showing us video evidence of widespread racism against the Palestinians, all the way from the country leaders (on both sides, granted). It's hard to deny having seen those images. But it's also hard to judge how selective the reporting is.
I, for one, have not "realized", because I can never have the data necessary.
Sounds terrible Hamas should release the hostages so the war can stop and kids won't suffer anymore.
Yes, everything will be fine in Gaza as long as no-one fights back against the ethnic cleansing. If Hamas just asks nicely, the Zionists will probably reconsider their stance and stop the genocide.

“We are particularly distressed by reports that Palestinian women and girls in detention have also been subjected to multiple forms of sexual assault, such as being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers. At least two female Palestinian detainees were reportedly raped while others were reportedly threatened with rape and sexual violence,” the experts said. They also noted that photos of female detainees in degrading circumstances were also reportedly taken by the Israeli army and uploaded online.
“Taken together, these acts may constitute grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, and amount to serious crimes under international criminal law that could be prosecuted under the Rome Statute,” the experts said. “Those responsible for these apparent crimes must be held accountable and victims and their families are entitled to full redress and justice,” they added.
But that's probably Hamas's fault as well, right?

Unironically, yes. There's been multiple attempts at negotiation in the past, where Israel was even willing to hand over land they had conquered before, for a two-state-solution. Hamas always declined, because they don't want to negotiate with Israel. They want a world without Israel. And they'd rather have every single Palestinian die than accept their loss and sue for peace.
The deal Isael offered was 6-weeks ceasefire for all hostages, then once we take all hostages and reload our ammo, we will go back to boming you again
Hello, average bloodthirsty psychotic American. Tell me more about how little you understand the world outside your borders.
I was just about to comment like this, but with an “/s,” because I’m a human being.
