In the news

I'm yet to hear/read any kind of moral or ethical argument that in any way justifies the appallingly high civilian and children death count in Gaza. Any time the question is raised, the argument immediately gets deflected into rockets, security, borders, '67, militants, human shields, tunnels, anti-semite, no you're a cunt, blah... All bullshit and deflection as far as I'm concerned. FFS!

At what point/percentage/count will Israelis themselves (let alone the international community) say it is too high? 80% civilian? It has passed that. I truly despair.

Seems to me that the broad Israeli attitude is that Palestinians are a sub species and their demise is sport. They have demonised them and properly muddled their logic in the same way that EddyZ seems to be managing to demionise muslims or arabs based on the madnesses of a few.

Bellends everyfuckingwhere.

We've done some shitty things as a nation but I don't recall getting the popcorn out during shock and awe. Is it even possible that most Israelis are just looking at this as a practical solution to an inconvenient (albeit terrible and terrifying) problem? What in the name of fuck is the UN even for? Someone needs to hold a very large mirror up to this shit.

Someone needs to travel back to the sixties and start holding a big fucking mirror up actually. We were knee deep in the shit decades ago.
