Am I supposed to feel sad?
We’re watching tens of thousands of citizens in Gaza just get gunned in the street by the Israeli army. Civilians. Just executed in the streets. People are thrown out of their house and it’s just taken.
And the news wants me to feel sad about two random soldiers, the ones who committed the war crimes, who off’d themselves?
This is from Middle East Monitor.
I think this news is supposed to be a breath of fresh air. It’s important to have feel-good stories whenever there happens to be something that’s slightly good news in a genocide-torn region.
