A connectivity blackout means people cannot contact friends, family or even ambulances to help the injured.

    It’s not new, and it doesn’t really seem like much of an escalation. Are the number of people dead on either side more than last year of this millennia-long holy war for the mythical holy land?

    I’m not saying we should pretend there isn’t anything else going on, but this is just the same shit day after day with them. It’s not news.

    I mean, it’s news because the weapon manufacturers are salivating.

        I think there’s a lot going on this month in that region, yes. Escalated? That’s not the word I’d use.

        What I predict is nothing ever changes there, and the Muslims and Jews will be forever at war over a mythical plot of land.

            What did I say that was racist? Please quote the exact text. I want to be sure I clarify my meaning, because I’m not a racist and my comment was not intended to be attacking race.

              I called you racist because your comments are all “the Brown people have been fighting forever, why do we care now? WHAT ABOUT THE WHITE PEOPLE WAR?”

              Fuck you.

                Uhh no. That’s you wanting to make this something it isn’t. I’m actually trying to say the media is purposefully trying to focus attention away from Ukraine. Which is odd.

                I should mention that Hamas, yesterday, expressed their thanks to Russia as an ally, and agreed to release Russian hostages.

                But you just keep on thinking everything is brown and white, like they want you to.

                Don’t forget that everyone (besides the non-violent civilians who don’t support war) is an asshole in this fight.
