The war in Gaza has hit another grim milestone after the Hamas-run Health Ministry said the death toll had passed 40,000 since the start of the war on Oct. 8.

    Love when they add “Hamas-run” every time to pretend those numbers haven’t matched independent agencies’s all throughout the genocide campaign

      Imagine writing “Democratic Party run” USA in every news article lol. People would go insane.

      Even funnier considering Hamas technically got voted into power so you can’t even say that it’s some ragtag militant group that Hostages Gaza.

      Expected from mass media but been kind of stupid seeing these type of titles on sites like AP and Reuters too.

        Newspapers have pushed agendas for along as they’ve existed. That’s half of the point of them. The problem is the agenda they decided to push requires them to minimize and dehumanize victims of genocide

      They should petition the US government to stop arming Russia like they do Israel to end the conflict.

      Oh, right…

        Ahhh. So it’s not about the innocent lives lost- it’s about who gets the means to kill them. Let’s not even bother bringing up that it would be illegal for the US to break the contract with Israel… because….

        That wouldn’t help fuel the anti-America outrage boner even had.

          Yes, there is absolutely a moral distinction between arming an invader and arming a defender. The US is doing good in arming Ukraine and bad in arming Israel. Pretty simple.

          As for illegal, lol. Israel going to call the cops?

            So don’t pretend it’s about the lives lost then. It’s really just political.

            And yes, illegal. Learn how shit works first.

              It is about lives lost and the fact that they are lost directly because of US actions. You don’t have a “gotcha” here that excuses anything that happens in Gaza.

                Ahhh. But where’s the outrage over the genocide of over twice the amount of people? The only difference as YOU say, is which side is being supplied by the US.

                Admit it- you have no shits to give about those that suffer in Ukraine. As long as the US isn’t involved.

                By the way- This is absolutely a gotcha.
