Humans are not made to kill other humans. And those who fight the wars of the mighty, are those who are among the ones who suffer the most.
War is really stupid. And it's astonishing how we continue to be such a stupid species. Given how far we've come, one would think that we've finally realized how much humanity could achieve if we were working together instead of killing each other.
By the way:
The international court of justice has not ruled on this yet, but continues to observe and investigate whether such genocide allegations could apply.
However, I am not a fan of anyone who practises or participates in wars and so easily tolerates the deaths of innocents.
We don't need a pack of overpaid bureucrats with fancy titles to tell us whether a genocide is occuring or not. It's a fucking genocide. Plain and simple.
There's literally video of a child getting cut down, then when help comes for the child they blow them up with a bomb. That's some psychopath shit.
That's indeed unbelievably cruel.
This does not constitute a genocide though.
It does if there is a pattern of killing children and those who respond to medical emergencies. We all know they target the ambulances. Seems there's a terrorist behind every kid, uninhabited graveyard, and hospital. History will not be kind.
Lmao are you really trying to act like it's not a genocide because some bureaucratic board has been bullied into being quiet about it?
That's a bold thing to claim.
They are not quiet about this.
And yes, until there is sufficient proof for the genocide allegations and/or the ICJ rules it as such, I can't confidently say for myself that it's genocide.
There is a tremendous amount of work invested in this case by people much more qualified than you or me.
Still, from my side this is in no way a justification for the cruel deaths of so many innocents. Civilian casualties are in no way tolerable for me.
