I think world governments have been indiscriminately killing long enough. The Palestinians are fucked, the world is watching but no one with any real power moves fast enough. Yemen is non-existent, reduced to dust by the US, why must we bomb people with nothing? Countless children have been fed to Moloch since the world decided to become a proxy-war hotbed.

They weren't lying when they said "Might makes right"

In this age of Internet, they still control the narrative, even with so much evidence brought to light. If you don't seek it out, it seems like nothing noteworthy is going on.

History is still mostly written by the victor, with truth waning in the distance. The victor being evil never mattered. "Human rights" these countries exclaim so often doesn't extend when their kins are doing the killing.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


During the first six weeks of the war in Gaza, Israel routinely used one of its biggest and most destructive bombs in areas it designated safe for civilians, according to an analysis of visual evidence by The New York Times.

The video investigation focuses on the use of 2,000-pound bombs in an area of southern Gaza where Israel had ordered civilians to move for safety.

While bombs of that size are used by several Western militaries, munitions experts say they are almost never dropped by U.S. forces in densely populated areas anymore.

The Times programmed an artificial intelligence tool to scan satellite imagery of south Gaza for bomb craters.

Times reporters manually reviewed the search results, looking for craters measuring roughly 40 feet across or larger.

Eric Schmitt, John Ismay, Neil Collier, Yousur Al-Hlou and Christoph Koettl contributed reporting.
