the world is lead by assholes, on all sides.
This is an objectively true statement. Of course the world is lead by assholes.
We all know that power corrupts. Neuroscience has shown that getting power damages the brain's capacity for empathy.
You just can't lead a nation without becoming capable of great evil.

It's extremely frustrating to hold the apparently controversial opinion that killing civilians is, consistently, a bad thing.
You're only worth moral consideration if those in power want you to be.
Wars, racism, homophobia, etc. These are just the results of those who have the power to ignore those they deem not worthy, doing whatever they want.
It ranges from current wars, to past wars, to the Holocaust, to 9/11, to eating animals, to Epstein, etc.
Maybe one day we will realize that someones worth should not be assigned by others.
We are all equal or we are all dead.
The controversy is this. Do we REALLY want to vote for Trump who is going to take away our freedoms, dismantle democracy and probably won't do anything to stop the genocide in Gaza anyway? Or are we going to vote for the candidate that definitely won't stop the genocide in Gaza but will at least ensure we maintain a democracy? Its not a good choice either way but I have my own life to look out for and will vote accordingly.
The greatest service Biden could do to this country (and also the world) is make it so that felons can't run for president and then drop out of the race.

Hell, a while ago France24 wasn't even using the terms "Israel" or "IDF" in any of it's reporting on the sacking of Gaza - they were literally pretending the bullets, bombs and missiles was being fired and dropped by some unknown party.
Just off reading headlines..is "entering" and "bombing" the same thing now?
Off headlines not.
Off reality Al Shifa is far more destroyed than the Ukrainian hospital.

What Israel did was far worse. They bombed the hospitals, laid siege, raided the hospitals, killed doctors, abducted doctors, tortured patients and staff, and dug mass graves.
i wonder which side this respectable publication is on 🤔
Considering that Netanyahu was having corruption charges levied against him before October 7th... well, from the Israelis I've talked to, the intelligence was there to prevent the attack, and the brass let it happen. War time leaders tend to hold on to power a lot easier. In addition to the gas deposits off the Gazan coast, and the whole beach front property development thing that Israeli corporations are advertising. It's terrible what has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank (obviously) BUUUT, I mean, they're surrounded by much larger countries that are hostile to them. WHY they are hostile, well, that is where cracking open a history book comes in.
Netanyahu is just the latest in a long list of demons, the invasion of Palestine didn't start on October 7th.

I wonder how it would read if they quoted the Russian military in the headline on the right.

Israel = Russia
I could've said it's more complex than that, but both conflicts couldn't have happened if invaders just haven't invade.

Well, we have established that the West is racist and supremacist centuries ago, nothing has changed.
