    This is how genocides get carried out without consequence. This is horrifying and depressing to watch knowing I am largely powerless to do anything about it.

    I think my vibe for the rest of my life will be ‘unlimited death on the first world’. Whenever some cracker scumbag makes excuses for the colonizers like “buh buh buh muh deep-entrenched hamas we GOTTA war crime we GOTTA”, all I see is red. All I can remember is how much hate I feel for having been born on this side of the world. I don’t want to be lumped in with these crackers from a geopolitical standpoint anymore. I’ll be lighting candles for whoever 9/11’s us next. Which real talk, will probably be Palestine.

    They killed 800+ children within a week. But maybe they were all members of Hamas, who knows?

    I seem to remember this exact argument being used to justify American atrocities in Fallujah. Then Sam Harris doing “damage control” – ironic phrase – by saying, “Sure, we killed a lot of civilians, but that wasn’t our primary intent, so that still makes us better than the terrorists.”

    The whole philosophical principle of double effect got so misused during the Bush years.
