-goes to evil murderous empire

-displays solidarity towards victim of evil murderous empire

-is coerced/forced to stop displaying solidarity towards victim of evil murderous empire

I mean, yeah, why is any of this even slightly shocking for anyone in the world? 😅 It's depressing as fuck and America/the West is an example of what communities of humans without humanity can devolve into (like that one commenter ITT who considers his annoyance about being reminded of the genocide something he should share, lol), but it shouldn't surprise anyone who has been following Western history since the days of freaking Rome!

Who said it's surprising?

When will people finally stop whining about Palestine? I’m so tired of hearing about it.

When genocide ends and all the war criminals are punished.

Oh no people keep talking about how we should stop genociding kids with different skin colors! This is so annoying! If only there were a simple solution!

heads up

Al Jazeera???? No, no thank you.

I’ve heard of CHEK and have seen some of their videos on YouTube.

I always forget about TVO, which is odd given how much I watched it as a kid.

I like BBC and The Guardian.

Also, I’m pro-Jew. Not interested in so-called Palestine’s propaganda.

Your point?

It will be all gone soon and then you won't have to worry.

I remember eventually becoming annoyed at the constant coverage of the Kosovo War and I loudly complained, every time there was mention of it in the news. Everywhere I went, it seemed to be the only thing anyone was talking about. It bored me. Probably also scared me a bit so I didn't want to hear any more. That's because I was a stupid fucking teenager who knew nothing about the world.

Imagine being this animal. It's most likely a braindead bot account but still.
