RIP to everyone. The sad thing is that even these really obvious big crimes that should provide disproportional amounts of media outrage probably will be brushed past like the weather report.

    It was telling that r/Combatfootage faced an immediate embargo from the admins on any footage from a Palestinian perspective. That's not applied for Russia, for any faction in Syria, for Turkey and Kurdistan or Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Not Chechnya nor Serbia nor Nazi Germany. I've seen ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Al-Nusra, Mexican drug cartels, literally every group I can think of which has engaged in combat and filmed it. But as soon as the attacks happened, zero tolerance policy for anything coming out of Palestine while IDF footage is now the mainstay.

      The difference is Israel is a settler colonial entity founded on ethnic cleansing. It is the blood brother of amerikkka. No other US ally is "the us in miniature" to that extent, and also there's the nutcases in congress that think Jews need to own Jerusalem to make Jesus come back. Thus, the unyielding support and bloodthirst.
