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.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

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

کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست

گفتند یافت می‌ نشود جسته‌ ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می‌ نشود آنم آرزوست

    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?

      Hold on, let me get the blood off my hands by becoming a martyr for protesting against it. ICE will lock me up and torture me but at least I’ll die with the Moral High Ground™️

      I’d sure hate to be blue maga, it would be so selfish of me to vote for the person who doesn’t immediately lock me up for organizing opposition to the genocide. That sure would be awful. How could I live with the shame of debasing my moral purity to actually try to enact change in the world…

          Is shitlib the only thing you know how to say? What’s liberalism even got to do with anything here? Actually no I don’t care, I’ve seen the other threads.

            I know how important being completely self-centered is to BlueMAGA types like you.

              Let me know what military concentration camp you get shipped off to, if we’re lucky we can meet up and organize a protest (no shitlibs invited of course, they can stay in their tents)

                Lol, how perfectly demonstrative of what myopic little white supremacists BlueMAGA fascists are that they come to a Palestine com and assume everyone is American.

                  Oh my mistake, I thought you actually had personal stake in an American election. Please, continue giving me domestic political direction from 7000 miles away 📜✍️

                    This. Is. A. Palestine. Com. You dumb fucking shit lib.

                    Though it turns out that the way you fuckers keep voting for genocidal war mongers means that the rest of us actually have as huge personal stake in American elections.

      As the ruling class has always been. They want us to blame and fight each other. While they keep taking and taking. Its time to eat the rich.

      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.

          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 no progress, people are clearly just as racist, imperialistic and backward as they were in the 100s of years ago.

      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.
