    How can anyone see this behavior, the expressions on their faces alongside a blindfolded hostage at gunpoint, and not think this is some deranged, evil shit?

    How can one think that the IOF is just defending themselves? How does this not break through every person’s reactionary shell and scream “THIS IS WRONG!”

      Literally images akin to photos from occupied Algeria. Modern day people don’t oppose colonialism today because they think it’s wrong, they oppose it because they stopped, and they only stopped because it was no longer feasible or they were flat out sent running.

      The people of the global South are expected to take what even a tenth of we can’t.

    You could remove the dates from so many of these photographs and reports and nobody would be ready to tell that they’re years or decades old.

    if it wasn’t for the modern photograph and the lettering on the wall, you’d think these were americans or germans
