"There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves." - Mark Twain

Yeah but alliances like NATO and the UN weren't built to prevent genocide. They were built to protect certain power structures and to keep certain nations in control. Stopping genocide was sometimes useful in accomplishing this but nothing more. They never actually cared about people and never will.

In truth, none of that ever mattered. Gaza is just a very blatant example of that.

Saw the video earlier today, the Palestinian responsible crawled on top of the tank and dropped the bomb inside of it. Absurd levels of bravery required to accomplish that.

Funny how they do this as soon as they put their guy in power

There is no way we get a real Israeli ceasefire simply because the arab states bribe him. Right? I'm sure the monarchies are eager to get their citizens off their back about the genocide so it can't be that far fetched.

God I wish this make them question their beliefs instead of simply bolstering their persecution complex

It feels like the poorest country in West Asia is the only one taking this genocide seriously
