GAZA CITY, GAZA—The complicity of each and every Palestinian in the violent actions of their militant ruling authority was reportedly on full display Friday morning when dying Gazans received justified criticism for not using their last words to condemn Hamas. For example, instead of issuing a full-throated denunciation of the violent attacks by Hamas that have left over 1,300 Israelis dead, one dying woman holding her 6-year-old son who had just been killed in a bombing is said to have doubled down by telling her child she loved him. According to reports, such barbarism on the part of Palestinians was on full display across the Gaza Strip, where many men of fighting age could not muster a single world of reproof for Hamas’ actions while they coughed up blood. In war-ravaged Gaza City, a dying reporter was heard blatantly begging for help instead of labeling Hamas a terrorist organization. At press time, the Israeli Defense Forces Twitter account underscored the massive surge of contempt they were contending with by posting a video that featured the shocking savagery of a Palestinian corpse that refused to condemn Hamas even when kicked.

Wow this is a tragedy and I’m not going to lie I was a little weary seeing an Israeli themed Onion but damn if they didn’t hit the nail on the head, recognizing the tragedy while making a fucking point.

Heart breaking.

Did you mean "wary" here or were you just tired of seeing onion articles about Israel?

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

For what it is worth, I'm weary about seeing anything related to the Middle East.

It's the rare amusing situation where either could be correct. One could be tired of wry, satirical takes on war and feel fatigue on seeing an Onion article about a wartorn country.

They thanked them for the correction, get over it.

There are definitely more or less felicitous ways to talk. Whether you understand what somebody literally means is the bare minimum of communication, not its only metric.

Not saying I don't make similar errors, of course!
