Don't know what I expected from the guy who overthrew Gaddafi, but after so many people were promising us he was good on Palestine I guess I expected a little better than this

So what is so bad about Oct 7th? Just another generic disaster & catastrophe, right?

The "Oct 7" thing is such an obviously manufactured atrocity propaganda thing, trying to draw parallels to 9/11 in order to get strike fear in Americans. Every country has a day of disaster, but only USA and Israel get to write theirs into the common lexicon

I wish being a whiny little baby the few times you get a bloody nose while committing unprecedented global slaughter didnt work. It's unbecoming of an empire.

October 7th was bad because the apartheid state made peaceful revolution impossible.

And also given your premise if every tragedy is like every other one, then any tragedy you can prevent, stop funding, or stop doing should all but be a moral obligation

It was also made so much worse by Israeli forces. Israel is happy to blame everything on hamas while possibly causing maybe half of the casualties? Which is one reason it was immediately covered up by the recovery efforts rather than actually investigated
