You have a great point. Let's let a large number of objective humanitarian workers with aid in who can gather statistics.

Is that possible?

If I were an epidemiologist and statistician and wanted to gather data and provide aid, could I just go there and do that?

I didn't see the TikTok videos, but were those faked?

I don't trust Hamas and think they are bad. But is everyone in Gaza some hardcore Hamas person? I think a lot of them just want water food and to not die. Im not that knowledgable on any of this.

I didn't read this comment before I said I like you. I still like you.

Wish we could have been friends.

It's too bad we can't add MDMA to the water at 1 ppm like floride worldwide so people get nicer.

Trump is old. Often older people smell because of cellular dysfunction and bodily dysfunction. I dislike Trump, but this seems like just bullying the old. Are there any really old people who smell exquisete? Liberals should do better than Republicans and not engage in this sort of vile debasement.

We're talking about it. I am think about Palestinian kids being unhappy and not havijg clean water instead of eating snacks and doing other things. Saying it changed nothing is factually incorrect.

There are some people who do not have the view that Israel is commiting genocide or that Israel is justified in killing Palestinians because of the original attack. Some people think the issue is complicated and may not be sure of what to think and may rethink their opinion of this. You're just wrong.

This isn't true.

I am a rape survivor who hasn't dated anyone in a very long time. The person who hurt me was not prosecuted. I don't like being touched anymore. I am probably going to kill myself within a few years. I don't think this is a mental health issue that I want to die; I think this is a valid choice, and no, I don't want big pharma drugs, religion, or people talking to me to try to make me feel better. I just ultimately want to die and just meed to get my affairs in order.

The person who lit himself on fire and me are not the same. He wasn't someone who wanted to die, he was someone who wanted people to realize the level of suffering that Palestinians are experiencing.

He didn't want to kill other people to make his point because he wasn't violent. He was willing to die himself however. That's self-sacrifice. More people are noticing what is going on because of what he did. It was not pointless or meaningless.

There are people who commit suicide because of temporary mental health issues, those that end things due to persistent despair, which are not a mental health issues but valid feelings, and neither of these things are the same as self-immolation as political protest.

I know it makes people in society FEEL better to say that people who choose actions that lead to their own death are all mental and just should have called a hotline so they could be locked up by police and force fed or injected with psychiatric medication until big pharma made everything better, but reality isn't always fairy tales and happy endings. Gross simplifications that push drugs and involuntary hospitalization are an extreme illogical form of reductionism like flat-earthers who deny climate change but feel better as a result.
