The 12-year-old Israeli girl whose “Harry Potter”-inspired photo went viral after she was kidnapped by Hamas has been found dead alongside her grandmother in Gaza.

    Can we all at least agree that it’s flaccid-dicked small men on both sides, and other old men with shriveled balls benefiting off of it from the sidelines?

    Anyone who thinks that escalating this thing with more guns will solve anything hasn’t read a single paragraph of history. It can only make things worse. All Hamas did with their bombing was give the Israeli regime casus belli to commit whatever atrocities they want, and in turn Netanyahu’s fuckboys carpet bombing Gaza is just radicalizing everyone there for the next generation. It’s not too late to ramp this down before it pulls in the rest of the region, but we also have western arms manufacturers pushing every government to send our guns and bombs over. The machine of war doesn’t like being slowed down once you allow it to get moving again.

    Trying to place blame for any one atrocity at this point is like pissing on a campfire when the forest behind you is on fire.

      So the Palestinians should resign themselves to be oppressed second class citizens with no rights? Maybe they should complain harder? They protested peacefully in 2018 and were shot.
