Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

Calling it a war is a lie. There is only 1 army here. The people dying are innocent civilians. They cut off water food and medical supplies to 2.1 million people. They're bombing homes, shelters, hospitals, evacuees.

This didn't just start this month. This is the culmination of 40 years of apartheid. And this is a textbook attempt at genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Edit: since this person wanted to add a paragraph to their comment (without notation btw) Also fuck Russia, fuck Hamas and fuck their justifying 3000+ children's murder as collateral damage.

A person can be outraged by both. This is not a competition.

What is happening in Gaza is small fucking baby potatoes compared to what is happening in Ukraine.

So, I thought you were genuine and passionate about that, so I clicked on your profile to see the stories you have been contributing and raising awareness about Ukraine, so I could upvote them and support you in that.

Crickets chirping. Absolute silence from you on Ukraine.
