Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?

One of the most chilling things you realize as you grow up and attain even a degree of political and historical awareness, is that genocide is not just something that happens in the past. It doesn't happen because an evil army materializes and does bad things until the good guys save the day. It's something carried out, in the open, with the support or at the very least indifference of people around you. It'll happen on TV, in social media posts, for everyone to see. They will observe it and their reactions will range from apathy to cruel elation. Then they'll turn off their TVs or put away their phones and go shopping.

Maybe the Palestinians will be able to resist enough to deal a massive blow. I know they will fight. I hope for the best. But for now,

Fuck Israel. Fuck Zionists. Fuck America. Fuck the West.

It happened like last week too. The entire population of Nagorno-Karabakh fled the region out of fear of massacres.

Guess which country supported them with arms too

Uh? It's all over the news. At least in Europe.

I'm in the US. Haven't seen any media about it until today, everything is Ukraine (and now Palestine)

Nothing about Kosovo either then? There have been attacks from an allegedly Serbia-sponsored militia on a police outpost beyond the border, and now a substantial number of Serbian troops are being stationed around the border. That was just after Azerbaijan made their move and nobody intervened internationally. People are on edge thinking everybody would now start trying to snatch up some "lost territories".

azerbaijan acts with western backing. serbia doesn't

[-] viking@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Didn't hear anyone speaking out in favor of Azerbaijan. All they got going is oil & gas.
