Now with outbound communications nearly completely cut off, how often will we get updates on what's happening on the ground? On the crimes against humanity Israel's committing?
I hope for the best, I really do, but I feel so helpless. I've already contacted my representatives and told them they need to do their part or I'll be rescinding my support. I'm vocal within my community as well. But beyond that, there's so little I can do but bear witness to what is happening.
That’s why they cut off outbound communications. If you don’t photograph or video them doing war crimes, then they’re not committing them, right?
Literally every single war involves cutting the enemy's communication. This is not an unusual thing at all.
Is this a war tho
Yes
UN: "like, could you just please not do that we're not gonna do anything, but like, please dont idk"
It's easy to criticize, what's your suggested alternative to the UN?
I'd just like to know they were doing anything beyond a statement of disapproval.
The UN is a massive organization with many parts that do all kinds of things constantly. It's not supposed to be the world police, it's supposed to foster communication collaboration.
תנו בראש!
This is humanity. Don't think you're better than them because you live in America and pay others to do the work for you via tax.
Nah, don't try to "both sides" this; they're actively pushing this into a genocide as we speak, and most of the world is sitting back and watching in horror while people like you try to minimize it.
"Sitting at home, looking on in horror and unable to do anything, you're just as bad as the people literally murdering thousands."
Fuck the Israeli government, and all who support them.
