"Even though I have been in a number of war zones in the past, from Ukraine to Afghanistan, via Syria, Iraq and Somalia, I have never experienced anything like this… Now I understand why Israel is denying the international press access to such an appalling scene."
@xtaldave@pvonhellermannn Actually deploying weapons of mass destruction against civilians gets you the full support and slavish defence of the British government.
@aral@faab64 I noticed when checking rules on mastodon.scot and a few others, we’re expected to conform to British and German laws… which German laws? What kind of fascist laws am I expected to respect?
@HazelWood@aral I’ve noticed UK mainstream media is deathly silent on this. All I can find at the moment is an Israeli PR piece on the Sky News uk site.
@HarriettMB@aral And that should explain why Israel is so intent on taking full control of Gaza. With full control we’ll never know the true extent of their genocide.
@HarriettMB@aral 50/60k is the number of deaths directly caused by war and recorded by the health ministry, they have names and records they can show. The figure also fluctuates because, I mean, they’re in the middle of a genocide. Conservative estimates from experts were putting the figure nearer 200k a few months ago. And neither of those count future deaths from the devastation and destruction. But that higher figure is an estimate, until Israel allows inspectors in we’ll never know.
