Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

I'm pretty sure Aliens exist and there are big signs around our solar system that say something like "Avoid that system, murderous apes".

Warning, Interstellar Travel Insurance does not apply in the Sol System. The Galactic Council Security Office warns travelers to stay away from Sol and specifically Earth due to endemic violence on the planet.

AIens lock the doors on their flying saucers when they drive past Earth

There isn't single living thing on this planet that won't fight woth others of its kind. Cats fight cats, ants fight ants and so on and so forth. I am sire the aliens would be doing the same shit.

Or that just means we're not evolved enough yet

[-] Pasta4u@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Or it just means there is always a scarcity of either need or want and it will never go away.

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's sorta true, but like cats and ants aren't exactly sentient lol. They don't commit war crimes and genocide because they can.

Also maybe a space faring species has no issues with war with how much... space there is lol.

Aw who am I kidding, its probably just like Elite Dangerous free for fall

Cats are not a good example. They torture their prey. And kill billions of birds every year.

Cats are sentient, they aren't sapient as far as we are aware.

I dunno where it comes from but lots of living things are sentient in fact most are, most aren't however sapient.

Cars are more sentient than most humans though.
