I sent this to some friends with my own added text of "Russia: doing a genocide. Israel: totally a-ok, no genocide here, carry on"
One of the people surprised me with a "how can you possibly think Russia isn't trying to genocide Ukraine" and was completely flabbergasted that I was actually suggesting that Israel fucking is.
Even if that's the way you think, I thought my sarcasm was perfectly clear and would be obvious to them what my stance is...
You think you know some people.
Ukraine: 12,340 civilians killed in nearly 3 years
Gaza: 44,786 civilians killed in just over a year
That is 12 times as many. How can ~~you~~ they possibly conclude that Russia is conducting a genocide, but Israel isn't?
(These are confirmed kills, the actual numbers are of course a lot higher in both cases)
This is complete propaganda, fam. The Gaza death toll has exceeded 200,000 according to Palestinian hospitals… and that figure is months-old. Before they started bulldozing the West Bank.
Hospitals in Palestine are very meticulous about counting their dead and keeping records. Being under genocidal occupation for decades where Israelis can just kidnap and kill you for fun will do that to a society.
A certain strain of MAGA really doesn’t like it when you start pointing out basic reality contradicts their entire belief system, careful around these parts!
Yeah I know, I'm just showing that even with official numbers, it's blatantly obvious what Israhell is doing, yet no world leaders are acting on it...
I interpreted their comment as both Israel and Russia are committing genocide?
yeah sorry it was directed at the parent commenter's friends. I probably should have made that clear, my bad
I believe that by "you" they mean other people, not actually the person they were responding to. That is to say, the commenter is agreeing with the previous one, not criticizing them.
exactly, thank you :)
Well le evil russia is evil as always, marvel taught me that
marvel also thought us Nazi's are evil, yet here we are

Years of brainwashing makes people deny the evidence that they can clearly see
"Truth is denied those who refuse to seek it with both eyes wide"
Kiteo, his eyes closed...
"Injured 10 in Ukraine"
If you read the report on the Yemen strike it was 11 injuries... just goes to show it's all about how brown your skin is
Free Palestine - Slava Ukraine!
If this were happening in another country, say Sudan, we just wouldn’t get a news. bit at all.
The only reason we get news is Israel is involved, and the US is obsessed with enabling Israeli military expansionism.
Clearly the distinction is whether or not the target is an internationally recognized country with borders. You can't genocide a group with a shared identity and no embassies!
/s just in case
The world we live in.
