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.

    While Trump attacks every traditional US colony/ally, he is masterfully successful in getting them to all cower and increase division with Russia, Palestine, and in Canada’s case, China as well. All of the colonies are simply shamefully isolating themselves in hope that their CIA handlers will ask Trump to be nicer to them instead of extorting their weakness much harder.

    That was possibly the hardest thing to take, surviving the genocide(s). The banal evil, the indifference, the apathy, the heads in the sand, so many wannabe good falling to inaction and wilful ignorance upon confrontation with the overwhelm at the horror… some even going back into denial. Horrible catch22s and psychological fatiguing as strategies to further defeat and divide us by. I KNOW it is hard, but still have compassion and sympathy for those who succumb to losing theirs, while encouraging them back to sense of empowerment, reassuring them, there is something they can do, they will seek it, find it, and do it. On and on. No room here for defeatist self fulfilling prophecies of despair and ignorance. Awaken, mendwards, because it’s necessary. Amazing grace… We’re not done here. We can still mend this.

    I’ve been negative on what’s going on in Israel for a long time, but I admit I’m not overly motivated to go into the streets and clutch my pearls in dismay.

    The Canadian govt and organisations in general, to my understanding, aren’t really giving a ton of weapons for use in this crap. And clearly, our government’s stance has basically zero weight with other countries at this point – especially with the USA trying to annex us / starting preparations to conduct a Russian style invasion (they’re listing ‘fentanyl’ as a WMD next, so that they can use the tiny amount that crosses their border as an excuse to invade their neighbours it seems).

    The issue of the USA falling apart, given its historic central role in most western/democratic pushes, is a bigger issue for most of us, than the deterioration of an area that lacks democracy. I mean, the USA’s authoritarian trend is what’s enabling Israel to do these things in some ways. The states falling apart is also a lot more ‘directly’ impactful for citizens in western countries – we notice when the USA decides to wage an economic war against us, more than we notice the atrocities occurring on the other side of the world.

    There’s also only so much time you can dedicate to ‘protesting’, in between working a regular job to provide for your basic necessities. People’re tired man, and focusing on the protests that mean the most to them.

        This was also happening under Biden, you genocide denying scum, this is literally just a return to what was happening under genocide Joe.

        We also knew before the election that Trump would be far worse for Gaza because he kept telling us he would be.

        And by “far worse” you mean the genocide in Gaza would be exactly the same, but selfish comfortable liberals in the US like you wouldn’t have their politicians sugar coating it in comforting platitudes to you in their domestic addresses. And that make you feel bad, and that’s the only fucking thing you western white supremacists shitlibs care about.

          Understand that the US empire is evil, and zionist supremacist control over it is inescapable. Zionist oligarchy, and entire media, funding shifted to Trump in 2024, while in 2020 they picked the most Republican/Zionist/Neocon to win the DNC primary.

          You seem to have an incredibly mistaken understanding of my personal politics. I was out in person protesting the Democrat’s Gaza policy before the election. I’m not claiming or pretending like Democrats were good in any way at all. In fact, if you read my above comment closely, you’ll notice that I pretty clearly said:

          Yes, we all know the Democrats are absolutely fucking awful.

          Nobody here is claiming that there was no genocide while Biden was in office. Of course there was. What I’m criticizing is people who believed the genocide would stop or that Trump would be better for Gaza. There is actually a difference in degrees and the Republicans are actually far far worse for Gaza and all Palestinians. Again, that doesn’t mean that the Democrats are good. It means that the Republicans are even worse.

          Also, I’m not a liberal.

              2. And what is currently going on?
              3. Who is responsible for what is currently going on?

    Governments are largely those who decide what will be outraged by the majority of people.

    There have been protests for east Congo here in Belgium and now Rwanda is cutting ties with my country for siding with Congo. It’s a conflict that started in 2022 but I had no idea. It was just not covered. I still have no idea.

    Palestine Israel conflict is well covered. I saw it on the news today, it was an hour long discussion. They showed Oxfam commercial about it, which includes a Belgian young celebrity. She then spoke about it.

    The outrage bout Gaza is more present in the younger generation.

    Politician of the social democrats at the table said that she hopes that Europe will put sanctions, as it’s part of the trade agreement that it will be abolished when human rights aren’t being respected.

    Trump is choosing the side of murderers with money in each conflict.

    Where is the outrage?

    It’s there but media and the government are not covering it.

        • They both cited Israel’s given reason for the attack, the response from Hamas, the critique and condemnation from the UN, human rights organizations and several world leaders, as well as an expert opinion explaining that this could mean the end of the ceasefire.

          Both were factual and neutral in their reporting.

            Did they mention that Israel is blatantly lying about its reason?

            Did they mention that Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire?

            Did they identify that Israel is committing genocide?

            Did they avoid calling the government of Gaza “a terrorist organisation”

            Did they avoid calling IDF soldiers taken as prisoners of war “hostages”?

            • Here’s the Guardian article on the condemnation of the attacks: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/18/un-human-rights-chief-voices-horror-at-israel-new-gaza-strikes

              It does include that Israel is accused of genocide by multiple parties and explicitly includes Turkey’s response, which also directly accuses Israel of genocide. The French response calls out the Israeli justification, saying there’s no identifiable military objective.

              They do name Hamas, but not as a terrorist organization.

              Here’s a slightly more recent article that focuses on Israel’s justification and Netanyahu’s comments: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/18/israel-gaza-strikes-deaths-latest-update

              It contains the justification that Israel provided, but also additional context (e.g. the actual terms of the ceasefire) that show a stark contrast between the ceasefire agreement and what Israel is doing now. The article also highlights the human suffering this has caused. It also concludes by showing the disproportionate death toll that Israel has inflicted on Gaza.

              Here’s an opinion article published today from one of the main columnists that is very explicit about the genocide in Gaza: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/19/imagine-silent-terrible-evil-committed-gaza-inaction-censorship

              So maybe let’s not attack media outlets that do actually show what is going on and that are willing to call it what it is?

              I won’t bother with the Dutch state broadcaster because I doubt you speak the language, but with them it’s mostly the same story, though they don’t have opinion articles and the liveblog posts are a bit more concise. But they too have reported on ceasefire violations by Israel and the ICC case for genocide against Israel, and they often have expert opinions that also call out the disproportionate violence from the Israeli side.

                This one is pretty damn bad though, spending a disproportionate amount of time uncritically repeating the lies and rhetoric of Israel, it also repeats the lie of Hamas starting the fighting by “attacking Israel” as well as not differentiating between civilian and military casualties on October 7th, before immediately giving a comedicly low death count for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

                Here’s an opinion article published today from one of the main columnists that is very explicit about the genocide in Gaza: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/19/imagine-silent-terrible-evil-committed-gaza-inaction-censorship

                A good editorial, not that it too talks about how bad the media has been.

                So maybe let’s not attack media outlets that do actually show what is going on and that are willing to call it what it is?

                I mean, they’re still extremely hesitant to actually call it what it is, instead resorting to qualified “some say” framing, while also giving equal consideration (or sometimes greater) to obvious lies from Israel. Don’t get me wrong, the guardian is way better than most, but that a relative statement.

                • Hey, that one’s actually good, only issue being one instance of “Hostages” vs “detainees”

                  Doesn’t Hamas also call them that? Or perhaps it’s just translated as such.

                  This one is pretty damn bad though, spending a disproportionate amount of time uncritically repeating the lies and rhetoric of Israel, it also repeats the lie of Hamas starting the fighting by “attacking Israel” as well as not differentiating between civilian and military casualties on October 7th, before immediately giving a comedicly low death count for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

                  The entire point of that article is to report on what Israel is saying. So I’m not sure how that can be disproportionate if it exclusively talks about what it says in the headline. I think it makes sense for a media outlet to also report what Israel says, even if it can be disproven (and the Guardian does add that context). The Guardian here objectively reports on what Israel says, which I think is an important function of a news outlet. The Guardian also mentions that the “eruption of violence” started on October 7th, and I’m pretty sure that’s objectively true as well. Before that there was a very uneasy “peace” with plenty of violence to go around, but nothing to the scale of what we saw on Octobee 7th and beyond. Note how the language used doesn’t explicitly blame Hamas for the entire conflict.

                  The “comedically low death count” is the count as reported by the Gaza health ministry. Of course more people have indirectly died as a result of the war, but that’s a different statistic. Not sure what you want the Guardian to do here, unless you think Hamas is also fudging the numbers or something(?)

            • "But can the Guardian categorically say it stood up as a genocide unfolded and did everything in its power to report accurately? Certainly not. If Haaretz, a newspaper in a country with military censorship of the media, can have editorials openly using words like ethnic cleansing, what’s stopping the Guardian?”

              Nothing. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/19/imagine-silent-terrible-evil-committed-gaza-inaction-censorship

              Israel’s genocide was only on pause: for Palestinians woken on Monday night by a vicious wave of airstrikes, the resumption was no less shocking. More than 400 people – many of them children – were slaughtered in a matter of hours, in an assault that reportedly received the “green light” from Donald Trump. This mayhem was swiftly followed by evacuation orders – that is, forced displacement – raising the possibility of renewed ground operations. Israel’s excuse? A confected claim that Hamas hasn’t observed the terms of January’s so-called ceasefire agreement – the terms of which Israel itself has broken over and over again.

              I read the Guardian enough to know that it tries to do two things:

              A) Provide a neutral, unbiased presentation of facts and statements from all parties. This does include statements from Israeli officials that are false, but they are usually also provided with the context that shows they are false. It also includes reporting on investigations into the genocide, as well as statements from parties that accuse Israel of genocide.

              B) Provide opinion pieces that explain what they think about the war, which in my experience is definitely negative towards Israel (which makes sense), see the linked piece that directly accuses Israel of genocide as an example.

              I don’t think moving goalposts to reframe a media outlet that is clearly very critical of Israel as having a pro-Israeli bias is a productive use of time and energy.

          That is only bcs it is still small and has no impact.
          The socmed that matters has long been put under control by the regime.
          Or banned like TikTok if they can’t.

              Saying that the right to protest is exclusive to citizens is certainly an… interesting stance…

              But looking just at citizens: ICE has already harassed and arrested scores of citizens based on racial profiling. The agency deported as many as 70 citizens during Trump’s first term.

              There have been allegations of more US citizen deportations in these first 3 months of his presidency. I can dredge up those examples if you’d like, but don’t have them readily on hand.

                What does “70 potential U.S. citizens” mean? Were they U.S. citizens or not?

                I’m not saying the right to protest is exclusive to citizens, I am saying the excuse of potentially being disappeared by ICE does not apply to the vast majority of people.

          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.

            It’s safety that matters most.

            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.

            There’s people on the street here in Belgium, mostly young people and people from middle Eastern descent.

            Sure, about 50, the rest of the apathetic youth is gazing at their phone.

                  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.

            Seems to be a common feature of US politics that words lose their meanings and become distorted into vague aspersions about categories of people, which in practice take on the meaning of “the enemy” or at least “the other”, words degraded so that their main purpose is to divide.

            Liberals as in a supporter of liberal or neoliberal economics, the Democratic Party is neoliberal. There were absolutely liberals who would justify the US striking Yemeni civilians and civilian infrastructure (like the commercial airport) as “FAFO, get rekt terrorists” because the Houthis had the morally correct position of imposing a blockade to apply pressure on the US and Israel to end the genocide. Which the Houthis followed through and stopped implementing the blockade during the ceasefire. All in the context of Yemen being under a US-Saudi-Israeli backed genocide that’s been ongoing for years.

    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?

      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…

      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.

For the record, I do not support what is happening, and I will not sit here and listen to someone tell me this is my fault. I am one God damn person. They are deporting and arresting the people protesting for Gaza here in the U.S.

          In addition to this I feel like there is severe fatigue over conflict in the middle east. It just seems like an absolutely neverending shit storm of violence and turbulence and no matter what there will be fighting. I’m an old bastard at this point and it genuinely feels like every day of my life there has been something going on over there. It always sucks and it’s always a tragedy but if it goes on long enough people just grow numb to it. It’s normalized to a large extent now. It sucks.

      vandalising Teslas

      Not nearly enough of that going on to keep us from protesting. TBF we could stand to be burning a few more teslas AND get in some solid protesting.

      Would be nice to have a community covering protests and amateur journalists anonymously posting, but then I don’t want the government farming videos of that for targets.
