minus-square???@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·edit-21 year agoWe’re on our way to get to 6 million. This is the world failing to stop a full blown genocide from resuming. Imagine yourself saying that at the beginning of the holocaust when the humber of casualties was only 18k. That would be disgusting wouldn’t it? I think no one except for supporters of Israel would dub this was “collateral damage”. Literally no one else agrees. Disturbing.
