Where is the outrage? Where have all the “humans” gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.
None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp
I’m tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human
They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before
That which cannot be found I desire
Rumi
دی شیخ با چراغ همی گشت گرد شهر
کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست
گفتند یافت می نشود جسته ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می نشود آنم آرزوست

The poem is beautiful. This is truly the greatest moral stain of this generation upon the West; to have supported genocide, and not any genocide but the clearest case of genocide in this supposed era of ‘progress’ and ‘open-mindedness’ There is no progress, people are clearly just as racist, imperialistic and backward as they were in the 100s of years ago. A genocide unfolded and the ‘enlightened West’ watched on. How will you get the blood off your hands?
The same way that this same regime got the blood of the native Americans off its hands: you bury it in history books so that only intellectuals will learn of the full genocidal scope of it all while the rest ignore them, it, and label anyone trying to warn the rest about it as tankies or malcontents.
Yes, but the ready excuse for the genocides of the past is, ‘That was a barbaric age, everyone was awful. We are enlightened now. See, we gave gay people rights!’ Well clearly, nothing has changed. They are still barbarously cruel. But since you’re from lemmy.ml, I imagine you already know.
yes, preaching to the choir; but it needs to be said out-loud/in-writing nonetheless for the those who aren’t aware.
As the ruling class has always been. They want us to blame and fight each other. While they keep taking and taking. Its time to eat the rich.
FUCK Zionists and their supporters
Tbh I had no idea until now. Seriously, fuck Israel. They are worse than Russia at this point.
Not at this point, always have been.
Don’t get how some people can be supportive of that
Same way people support russia and trump. Having room temperature iq and not mentally developing past edgy teenager years.
Always have been.
Nobody expects canadians with their right wing government and even worse massive extreme right wing Banderite lobby to have an idea about anything
Governments are largely those who decide what will be outraged by the majority of people.
There have been protests for east Congo here in Belgium and now Rwanda is cutting ties with my country for siding with Congo. It’s a conflict that started in 2022 but I had no idea. It was just not covered. I still have no idea.
Palestine Israel conflict is well covered. I saw it on the news today, it was an hour long discussion. They showed Oxfam commercial about it, which includes a Belgian young celebrity. She then spoke about it.
The outrage bout Gaza is more present in the younger generation.
Politician of the social democrats at the table said that she hopes that Europe will put sanctions, as it’s part of the trade agreement that it will be abolished when human rights aren’t being respected.
Trump is choosing the side of murderers with money in each conflict.
IDK in what parallel universe you live.
You suddenly are going to only blame Trump now? Yuo sound like those US lib hypocrits. Guess who let them massacre relentlessly before him?
And Europe has done absolutely nothing, if not helped those genociders.
And like everywhere else in the western regime press, the conflict is not ‘well covered’.
It is always biased towards shitrael.
The needle is moving. The latest genocidal attack has received far more negatively loaded coverage for Israel than ever before. Even TheGuardian and Reuters are starting to name Israel as perpetrator in their headlines. European countries are condemning Israel. Keep pushing for public awareness. Soon politicians will openly start condemning Israel because the overton window has shifted.
I want my country to stop supporting this
Where have all the “humans” gone?
Gone to graveyards, every one
When will they ever learn?
they didn’t get graves, dear. you know that. not enough humans around to bury themm, and the zionists certainly weren’t gonna. they’re just under the rubble.
It’s a reference to a Pete Seeger song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”.
well now I feel dumb. thank you, that means I learned a thing.
Only metaphorically.
🇨🇦 My MEP will be having a Q&A in a week and I will go and pressure him on this. I’m not sure what more I can really do.
While Trump attacks every traditional US colony/ally, he is masterfully successful in getting them to all cower and increase division with Russia, Palestine, and in Canada’s case, China as well. All of the colonies are simply shamefully isolating themselves in hope that their CIA handlers will ask Trump to be nicer to them instead of extorting their weakness much harder.
I’ve been negative on what’s going on in Israel for a long time, but I admit I’m not overly motivated to go into the streets and clutch my pearls in dismay.
The Canadian govt and organisations in general, to my understanding, aren’t really giving a ton of weapons for use in this crap. And clearly, our government’s stance has basically zero weight with other countries at this point – especially with the USA trying to annex us / starting preparations to conduct a Russian style invasion (they’re listing ‘fentanyl’ as a WMD next, so that they can use the tiny amount that crosses their border as an excuse to invade their neighbours it seems).
The issue of the USA falling apart, given its historic central role in most western/democratic pushes, is a bigger issue for most of us, than the deterioration of an area that lacks democracy. I mean, the USA’s authoritarian trend is what’s enabling Israel to do these things in some ways. The states falling apart is also a lot more ‘directly’ impactful for citizens in western countries – we notice when the USA decides to wage an economic war against us, more than we notice the atrocities occurring on the other side of the world.
There’s also only so much time you can dedicate to ‘protesting’, in between working a regular job to provide for your basic necessities. People’re tired man, and focusing on the protests that mean the most to them.
too busy vandalising Teslas I presume.
Priorities for the libsOne of them got so mad when I said Tesla has become the plastic straw moment of Americans today.
It had to retreat to its safe space of ultimate moral superiority, poor thing.
vandalising Teslas
Not nearly enough of that going on to keep us from protesting. TBF we could stand to be burning a few more teslas AND get in some solid protesting.
Would be nice to have a community covering protests and amateur journalists anonymously posting, but then I don’t want the government farming videos of that for targets.
Nobody can have nice things I suppose.
My comment clearly went over your head.
You don’t seem to possess that capability.
Not surprised.
Someone who thinks cowardly hitting the lowest in the food chain by burning their car and causing huge environmental dammage is in someway good wouldn’t have the cappacity to grasp that.See that’s what i’m talking about! That right there! Where do you even get troll gigs? Is there a darkweb site? a waiting list?
Man these lame comments are so boring and predictable is this a feeble attempt to be funny?
You truly are american dumb.
Blocking you now loser
That reminds me of a quote (kinda poem like) I made after directly seeing the destruction in Gaza
“One day the bombs will stop falling from the sky, the barrels will fall silent, and a “normal” will set in, but the soil will be forever drenched with the blood of the innocent”
Someday this war is going to end, son.
What my quote means is that yes the war will end one day, but the deaths will always be remembered
*Looks through comments … I think I found the outrage.
Did you not see my avatar change?!!!
I’m on the barricades here!!!@WhatSay you are joking, right?
Whenever I can
Some politicians are trying to do something.
That was possibly the hardest thing to take, surviving the genocide(s). The banal evil, the indifference, the apathy, the heads in the sand, so many wannabe good falling to inaction and wilful ignorance upon confrontation with the overwhelm at the horror… some even going back into denial. Horrible catch22s and psychological fatiguing as strategies to further defeat and divide us by. I KNOW it is hard, but still have compassion and sympathy for those who succumb to losing theirs, while encouraging them back to sense of empowerment, reassuring them, there is something they can do, they will seek it, find it, and do it. On and on. No room here for defeatist self fulfilling prophecies of despair and ignorance. Awaken, mendwards, because it’s necessary. Amazing grace… We’re not done here. We can still mend this.
