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
Rumi
دی شیخ با چراغ همی گشت گرد شهر
کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست
گفتند یافت می نشود جسته ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می نشود آنم آرزوست

Ukraine affects me as a fellow European.
I’m not on the right side, I just want my family to live in peace.
Tariffs don’t matter. The energy crisis didn’t matter. COVID restrictions didn’t matter. Those are just economic struggles.
It’s safety that matters most.
Israel has been expanding their territory over the past century, it has been well covered by the media every time there’s stuff happening. I remember Israeli taking the home of a Palestine family and the Palestinians just had to leave. This was a few years prior to the Hamas shooting at a festival.
If governments weren’t handling Ukraine situation, energy crisis, COVID, etc. Then nothing would be happening.
There’s people on the street here in Belgium, mostly young people and people from middle Eastern descent.
There is nothing less safe than the US/NATO fueled paranoia and warmongering Russophobia.
And the spineless governments of EU aren’t handling anything.
They do everything the US tells them to in the case of ex-ukraine or israel.
Nothing but vasals.
That they are sad now bcs their owner doesn’t respect them while they’ve been such obedient little helpers will not change anything.
All it is is embarrassing.
People fail to see Europe’s place in the food chain, our media certainly won’t admit this.
And neither will they admit the consequences.
What they, and you as a result from their BS reporting, mislabel as ‘energy crisis’ is a direct result from sanctions and the pure US terrorist act of blowing up Nordstream.
You better believe that matters.
It means we can’t compete economically, companies are relocating and we will be in massive trouble.
And to make it worse they double down and decide to spend even more money we haven’t got on US weapons.
Who do you think will have to pay for that?
And all it does is get ups a step closer to war and put a large part of the population in poverty.
And I mean poverty like never seen before.
Well maybe not never since the situation is exactly like the 1930’s.
And it will have the same result.
Angry population voting for extreme right.
The last step before we’re ready to be sent to the Ostfront again.
Sure, about 50, the rest of the apathetic youth is gazing at their phone.
We didn’t invade Ukraine, Russia did.
We have quite a lot of money. We can definitely invest in defense, and we will.
Who organised the fascist coup?
Who started the ethnic cleansing of the Russian speaking population in the east and south?
No better than saying israel got attacked on oct 7 for no reason and nothing ever happened before.
O yes we have so much money we have to work longer, get our pensions stolen and much more just for fun.
Our industry is in a recession from those great sanctions.
55% of companies report they are losing jobs, and getting worse every day.
You really live in a fantasy world.
Organised what coup, zelenksyy won with 73% of the votes in 2019.
We have to work longer because our oldies stopped having children. That’s just how it works. if you didn’t spend your money on having a child, then use it for your pension.
Our stoxx 600 has been doing well lately.
Median net wealth of my country Belgium is 250k euros per adult.
i’m educated, have job security, it has never been this easy to do investments at low cost.
2023 and 2024 have been good years, stoxx 600 increased about 20 to 25% in value. The economic downturn was 2022.
In Belgium more and more people are getting jobs. Our employment rate keeps increasing.

In 10 years it has increased from 62 to 67%
