it’s fascinating that from the headline it’s absolutely unclear whether the protests are even related to the 16 kills. if i were glancing (and wasn’t aware of the situation), i would’ve thought that 16 were killed as Israeli finally listened to the protesters or something.

“protesters in Israel” (must be some foreigners) vs “Israeli strike”.

while they actually demand a ceasefire that will allow for release of hostages, and their government does everything to avoid that ceasefire. oh, and then there’s “strike kills 16” leaving it ambiguous whether military or war crimes.

also ceasefire implies both sides are fighting. from what i can tell Hamas pretty much stopped fighting almost two years ago.

“Israeli protesters demand their military to stop attacking Gaza, as Israeli army kills 16 civilians and journalists in an attack on a hospital in Gaza in another apparent war crime”.

how about now?

What a great way to show the inefficiency of sanctions! /s

He’s too busy begging these three for help.

But he does, he just discovered a new supply for the meat grinder.

So it’s just one step before the Ankh-Morpork mode with legalized crime guilds?

Ah yes, two nations famous for their appreciation of individual human life /s

Civilian disobedience can take many forms, not all of them involve an active confrontation with the government or police.

Unfortunately, from what it looks like, all everyday russians are living their normal everyday lives.

Unfortunately this means that the majority of the population either supports the war (especially as long as they’re winning) or are zombified enough not to care.

In either case, those are people that will be fine with being conscripted and sent to the front. As long as they’re not getting hurt, themselves, of course.

By all means, I’m not advocating russian style of bombing obviously civilian targets, but those russians are far from poor and powerless.

They do nothing because it’s uncomfortable.

How do you know a ruzzian is lying? Sound is coming out if their mouth.

Poor, poor ruzzian general. Let’s send him out oh-no’s and anyways.

This difficulty to believe it’s actually quite fundamental to what’s happening.

If you like, I invite you to imagine what would be the explanation if these numbers were true. (Even adjusted for being dead and wounded)

If only there were a European country that is investing in the drone technology like their existence depended on it…
