Ukrainians are killed, Palestinians die

I’m confused. What is this trying to say?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That our media has a double standard, a bias for supporting Israel. Russia killed children in Ukraine, they say “killed”. Israel killed children in Palestine, but they won’t say that - instead, those children are just “dead”.

Very little difference in practice because the killing by IDF is implied or deducted anyway - but it’s a difference in rhetoric.

That six year old child was not “dead”, she was killed by Israel. Her relatives, whose corpses she spent her last days surrounded by, were killed by Israel.

That the little girl just "died" and wasn't "killed" by Israelis. "Baby killed by Russians" "baby died because we didn't get there fast enough"

I‘m not sure if you interpret more into the words than there is. If you read the articles text thoroughly you’ll find a difference in those deads.

  • The dies-articles: „after phone calls“ , „after x days in car“, „days after cry for help“ and others. Those are all after some time.

  • The killed-articles: „in a air strike/ rocket attack“ which is immediately.

This sounds quite correct from a grammar point of view. Still, it’s sad for the kids and family.

Well, the second part is true, but they couldn't get there fast enough because the Israelis killed the EMTs too.

How much longer can we tolerate this as Americans? This evil committed in our name while the domestic situation and infrastructure crumbles while we see disaster on the horizon .....

Arnt they supposed to at least keep us distracted with bread and circus? It's like they think so little of us anymore they don't even need to try.

There's too much money involved for our overlords to stop. The Israeli aid lobby is massive and feeds the war machine that our politicians personally profit from. Then there's money that comes from Jewish donors and other interests that hate Muslims. It's all about the money.

Were all gonna die, arent we?

There will just be a small subset that remain to work on the Boston Dynamics Slave-O-Matics that the ruling elite use for all their daily needs
