God help them. The slaughter to come is probably beyond our imagining

    Didn't we literally kill like a million Iraqi children from sanctions in the 90s (cue Madeline Albright laughing and saying it was worth it) and like, idk, 1-5 million Iraqis?

    I feel like we can imagine the slaughter just fine. Marg bar this bitch, yo

      And when we killed those Iraqi children, I was upset, becuase killing children is wrong.

      Seems like statements like "all Palestinian violence against Israel is not only justified but good" that I'm seeing here are implying that they're only upset about the dead Iraqis because the US is the one who killed them. Does such a statement not imply that the death of Israeli children is less of a tragedy than Iraqi children?

        The death of those children are the fault of the settler colonial Israeli state. Hamas would not exist it Isn'treal wasn't engaging in constant genocide of the Palestinian people. If the people of Gaza were free I doubt they'd pick Hamas, but when it's been decades of occupation they support the militants that constantly resist the IOF.
