    Israelis saying it is illegal for Iran to hit hospitals is just about the bottom of what I needed to see.

    That said calling it a “good hit” is also just not on my radar as decent, either.

    21st century war has a ridiculously vivid peanut gallery. And I’m not sure what that will do for conflict.

    In the 1960s and 1970s USA the US news turned on the US government and began showing the horror of war on the 6 o’clock news. It left US Americans queasy.

    But social media has flipped that bit. Now combat footage of body parts from all ages are everywhere on the internet. And it is clear what is hath wrought.

      a) they bombed 30 hospitals, i couldn’t give a flying fuck.

      b) if the west is so concerned with imprecise munitions, they could have sanctioned pisrael 600 days ago, and gave palestinians himars launchers

      c) americans were left queasy cause of draft causalties and fragging, abu ghraib hasn’t changed shit despite vivid pictures

        p.s. but considering the european responses of 🙈 and “they do our dirty work”, i think fortress evropa would look exactly how i imagine it to be, with couple of african subimperials akin to entity thrown in. not good, we are just galloping to barbarism.

      Iran could bomb every single “israeli” hospital and it still wouldn’t be comparable to what they’ve been doing to Palestinians.

      To be fair, media has changed completely since then, now it’s largely corporate drool. They who pay are the good guys.

      When nazizrael doesn’t follow the rules of war in their hospital, aid, civilian, children, etc., destroying genocidal land grab, the rules of war lose meaning.

      You can’t have an honourable war (not that there is such a thing) when the aggressor will use any means.

      It’s shit, but it’s also just deserts.
