The genocide is literally being streamed live, and people in the west continue to look the other way while western regimes keep fuelling it.

    I have noticed that this account often posts inflammatory articles that lack credible supporting evidence. I think I’ll add it to my hexbear filter.

    I’m just seeing one image of some random soldier holding a necklace. Am I not seeing something?

    I mean, fuck that dude, but name a military who hasn’t sacked a town.

      Agree on being skeptical, not because it’s not plausible, but because we should be skeptical of the firehouse of misinformation going on right now. There’s no journalistic source attached to this, as far as I can see.

      But strong disagree on the whataboutism of “name a military that hasn’t done x”, as a way to justify horrible behavior. That’s just depraved.

        Saying I’m justifying something is putting your words in my mouth. Don’t gaslight, it’s beneath you.

            Nope. I’m saying they’re all trash. Equally. It’s very horrible, not to be minimized. But on that same note: I’m not as shocked as OP wants me to be. Are you?

              To say “they’re all trash” is to minimize the horrible behavior as commonplace, and the party committing it as not especially worthy of scorn. For example: “Germany shouldn’t have committed genocide, but what country hasn’t committed genocide?” This is a statement that minimizes the seriousness of genocide. It is a shitty thing to say.

                It’s a shitty way to misinterpret my comment. Maybe next time ask more before making a judgement call. Adios. 🚫

                  It’s ok to be wrong, we all are sometimes. Just keep an open mind and stay positive, no worries mate.

        I’m saying fuck the guy, if that text is the truth. But I’m just seeing one dude in the video holding a single piece of jewelry. Passing it around, and only the cameraman seems to be really into it.

        Besides, this is basically a twitter video. And, I don’t trust anything I see on Twitter.

        Be careful who you scream at, because I’m definitely not a fan of warfare.

            I’d argue that’s almost every army. War is wrong. Every army kills. Every army sacks. Pieces of shit for sure

              I’d argue that’s a false equivalence that downplays the scale of atrocities Israel is committing. For context, Israel killed more civilians in a month in Gaza than Russian army killed in Ukraine in over a year of fighting.
