Where is the outrage? Where have all the “humans” gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.
None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

I’m tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human
They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before
That which cannot be found I desire

the outage is gone, you’ve used up your yearly alloted outrage quota, you will no longer experience anger, nor most other emotions.
I want my country to stop supporting this
That reminds me of a quote (kinda poem like) I made after directly seeing the destruction in Gaza
“One day the bombs will stop falling from the sky, the barrels will fall silent, and a “normal” will set in, but the soil will be forever drenched with the blood of the innocent”
Over 400 in the latest bombings.
Yes I think that’s probably enough now.
Where have all the “humans” gone?
Gone to graveyards, every one
When will they ever learn?
they didn’t get graves, dear. you know that. not enough humans around to bury themm, and the zionists certainly weren’t gonna. they’re just under the rubble.
It’s a reference to a Pete Seeger song, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”.
Only metaphorically.
Bold of you to assume they bother with yards and not just pits in the earth.
While Trump attacks every traditional US colony/ally, he is masterfully successful in getting them to all cower and increase division with Russia, Palestine, and in Canada’s case, China as well. All of the colonies are simply shamefully isolating themselves in hope that their CIA handlers will ask Trump to be nicer to them instead of extorting their weakness much harder.

I never visited that site, it’s worse than Minds.com and BlueSky.
That was possibly the hardest thing to take, surviving the genocide(s). The banal evil, the indifference, the apathy, the heads in the sand, so many wannabe good falling to inaction and wilful ignorance upon confrontation with the overwhelm at the horror… some even going back into denial. Horrible catch22s and psychological fatiguing as strategies to further defeat and divide us by. I KNOW it is hard, but still have compassion and sympathy for those who succumb to losing theirs, while encouraging them back to sense of empowerment, reassuring them, there is something they can do, they will seek it, find it, and do it. On and on. No room here for defeatist self fulfilling prophecies of despair and ignorance. Awaken, mendwards, because it’s necessary. Amazing grace… We’re not done here. We can still mend this.
I’ve been negative on what’s going on in Israel for a long time, but I admit I’m not overly motivated to go into the streets and clutch my pearls in dismay.
The Canadian govt and organisations in general, to my understanding, aren’t really giving a ton of weapons for use in this crap. And clearly, our government’s stance has basically zero weight with other countries at this point – especially with the USA trying to annex us / starting preparations to conduct a Russian style invasion (they’re listing ‘fentanyl’ as a WMD next, so that they can use the tiny amount that crosses their border as an excuse to invade their neighbours it seems).
The issue of the USA falling apart, given its historic central role in most western/democratic pushes, is a bigger issue for most of us, than the deterioration of an area that lacks democracy. I mean, the USA’s authoritarian trend is what’s enabling Israel to do these things in some ways. The states falling apart is also a lot more ‘directly’ impactful for citizens in western countries – we notice when the USA decides to wage an economic war against us, more than we notice the atrocities occurring on the other side of the world.
There’s also only so much time you can dedicate to ‘protesting’, in between working a regular job to provide for your basic necessities. People’re tired man, and focusing on the protests that mean the most to them.
Some politicians are trying to do something.

And this was done with the explicit approval of Trump. Fuck anyone who voted for Trump because “Genocide Joe.” Yes, we all know the Democrats are absolutely fucking awful. We also knew before the election that Trump would be far worse for Gaza because he kept telling us he would be.
This is why I think Trump can do whatever he wants and get away with it. People keep telling me his supporters have their limits, but I really don’t think they do.
sorry, I just literally could not vote for genocide joe.
maybe stop trying to re-litigate an election your guys lost because they refused to give even the smallest consideration to their voters, including letting a palestinian-american speak or giving even the mildest and least binding condemnation of this shit. accept that this is why they lost. because centrists and leftists can’t hold their noses and endorse genocide, while fascists get hard at the thought.
Not sure Donald “Let Israel finish the job” Trump was the better choice. But you do you. Who are we to stop a moron?
are you suggesting I should have done a write-in? and that he was still meaningful opposition? fuck off.
First, you were never asked to vote for Biden last year. He literally never appeared on any ballots. Not a single person voted for Biden last year. So your entire point here is fucking moot.
Second, nobody is asking you to get married to who you vote for. You aren’t required to support every word they’ve ever said. You aren’t even required to support a single thing they do. American elections are a binary choice between the lesser of two evils. That’s how they’ve ALWAYS been. You pick the least bad of two bad options, and Harris was objectively less bad than Trump in every degree. If your candidate wins, you get to work fighting against the lesser evil that defeated the greater one. I’ve been voting for 21 years now and every single election I had to hold my nose and vote for someone I didn’t like because the other option was worse. This election wasn’t about you. Get over yourself and grow the fuck up.
Third, electoral politics shouldn’t define your life or even the extent of your participation in politics. It’s a single theater of political action among MANY. I was out there before the election in the streets protesting the Democratic ticket’s support of the Gaza Genocide. I also recognized that putting Harris in the White House over Trump would have been better on MANY other issues (women’s healthcare, trans rights, the economy, jobs for federal workers, cost of living, etc, etc). I’m not so petty and self-centered to delude myself into believing one single issue was the only thing that mattered in the entire election.
Nobody is saying Democrats are great or even good. They fucking suck. We don’t have good options in our electoral politics. We never have. That’s why you need to engage in other forms of politics, too. Your entire “I couldn’t vote for genocide Joe” bullshit is just self-indulgence. It’s childish.

And yet you still have to live with the fascists who won the election. You don’t get a gold star for moral superiority. There are no good guys in American elections. There never have been. You vote for the lesser of the two evils presented to you, then go back to engaging in politics in ways other than electorally.
@vvilld Fuck off troll.
I’m not trolling…
By not voting, you are agreeing with whatever candidate wins.
@13igTyme No. It’s a vote for None of the above. Some countries actually have that on the ballot, but IMAGINE how much a US rerun would cost, or some scumbag attempting to govern with 10% of the popular vote. Bye Bye.
The US is not other countries. When you abstain from voting or write in a protest vote, you are showing your disdain for both candidates while accepting and agreeing with the chosen outcome.
Your choices were to elect a candidate that we could then protest and push in the right direction, or a candidate that literally had plans to dismantle the government completely laid out in a 900 page document. By not voting, you decided that you are okay with the candidate dismantling the government if they happen to win.
This was also happening under Biden, you genocide denying scum, this is literally just a return to what was happening under genocide Joe.
We also knew before the election that Trump would be far worse for Gaza because he kept telling us he would be.
And by “far worse” you mean the genocide in Gaza would be exactly the same, but selfish comfortable liberals in the US like you wouldn’t have their politicians sugar coating it in comforting platitudes to you in their domestic addresses. And that make you feel bad, and that’s the only fucking thing you western white supremacists shitlibs care about.
Understand that the US empire is evil, and zionist supremacist control over it is inescapable. Zionist oligarchy, and entire media, funding shifted to Trump in 2024, while in 2020 they picked the most Republican/Zionist/Neocon to win the DNC primary.
I do understand that, tell the genocide apologists that think genocide is only bad when its the Republicans doing it that
Literally nobody here said anything close to “the genocide is only bad when its the Republicans doing it.” You are arguing against a strawman of your own invention.
You seem to have an incredibly mistaken understanding of my personal politics. I was out in person protesting the Democrat’s Gaza policy before the election. I’m not claiming or pretending like Democrats were good in any way at all. In fact, if you read my above comment closely, you’ll notice that I pretty clearly said:
Yes, we all know the Democrats are absolutely fucking awful.
Nobody here is claiming that there was no genocide while Biden was in office. Of course there was. What I’m criticizing is people who believed the genocide would stop or that Trump would be better for Gaza. There is actually a difference in degrees and the Republicans are actually far far worse for Gaza and all Palestinians. Again, that doesn’t mean that the Democrats are good. It means that the Republicans are even worse.
Also, I’m not a liberal.

Don’t care, you engage in genocide denial to support Joe Biden, that tells me enough.

No. There isn’t. The only difference is how they sell it to domestic Americans, and being the selfish western white supremacist that you are, that’s all you care about.
Again, that doesn’t mean that the Democrats are good. It means that the Republicans are even worse.
They’re not though, you’re just a selfish PoS
Also, I’m not a liberal.
You are engaging in genocide denial to protect Joe Biden. You are a liberal at best
Where am I trying to protect Biden on anything? The hell are you talking about? You have some very serious reading comprehension problems.
Your posts are literally right there man, drop the denial act.
Please quote the part where I tried to protect Biden about anything. The whole point here was to criticize people who voted for Trump while believing the clearly demonstrable lie that he was going to be better for the people of Gaza than Biden.
You are either severely brainwashed or severely braindumb.

This has nothing to do with anyone’s personal beliefs, this is basic logic and understanding how space and time work.
What party/what person is currently in charge?
What party was in charge for the previous year of unrestrained genocide
And what is currently going on?
Israel is resuming the unrestrained genocide it was committing under Biden.

A great many people.

Least incoherent genocide supporting shitlib
Shitlib is when people don’t agree with your takes.
Nobody expects canadians with their right wing government and even worse massive extreme right wing Banderite lobby to have an idea about anything
Not at this point, always have been.
Don’t get how some people can be supportive of that
Same way people support russia and trump. Having room temperature iq and not mentally developing past edgy teenager years.
Always has been. Not to say Russia hasn’t also been terrible, this kind of ethnic cleansing has been central to Zionism before Israel even existed
Always have been.
Governments are largely those who decide what will be outraged by the majority of people.
There have been protests for east Congo here in Belgium and now Rwanda is cutting ties with my country for siding with Congo. It’s a conflict that started in 2022 but I had no idea. It was just not covered. I still have no idea.
Palestine Israel conflict is well covered. I saw it on the news today, it was an hour long discussion. They showed Oxfam commercial about it, which includes a Belgian young celebrity. She then spoke about it.
The outrage bout Gaza is more present in the younger generation.
Politician of the social democrats at the table said that she hopes that Europe will put sanctions, as it’s part of the trade agreement that it will be abolished when human rights aren’t being respected.
Trump is choosing the side of murderers with money in each conflict.
IDK in what parallel universe you live.
You suddenly are going to only blame Trump now? Yuo sound like those US lib hypocrits. Guess who let them massacre relentlessly before him?
And Europe has done absolutely nothing, if not helped those genociders.
And like everywhere else in the western regime press, the conflict is not ‘well covered’.
It is always biased towards shitrael.
*Looks through comments … I think I found the outrage.
Did you not see my avatar change?!!!
I’m on the barricades here!!!
Where is the outrage?
It’s there but media and the government are not covering it.
I’ve seen plenty of articles on both the Guardian as well as the Dutch state broadcaster. Both have liveblogs with frequent updates.
Those 2 will surely mention Israhell has the right to defend itself.
They both cited Israel’s given reason for the attack, the response from Hamas, the critique and condemnation from the UN, human rights organizations and several world leaders, as well as an expert opinion explaining that this could mean the end of the ceasefire.
Both were factual and neutral in their reporting.
Did they mention that Israel is blatantly lying about its reason?
Did they mention that Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire?
Did they identify that Israel is committing genocide?
Did they avoid calling the government of Gaza “a terrorist organisation”
Did they avoid calling IDF soldiers taken as prisoners of war “hostages”?
Here’s the Guardian article on the condemnation of the attacks: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/18/un-human-rights-chief-voices-horror-at-israel-new-gaza-strikes
It does include that Israel is accused of genocide by multiple parties and explicitly includes Turkey’s response, which also directly accuses Israel of genocide. The French response calls out the Israeli justification, saying there’s no identifiable military objective.
They do name Hamas, but not as a terrorist organization.
Here’s a slightly more recent article that focuses on Israel’s justification and Netanyahu’s comments: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/18/israel-gaza-strikes-deaths-latest-update
It contains the justification that Israel provided, but also additional context (e.g. the actual terms of the ceasefire) that show a stark contrast between the ceasefire agreement and what Israel is doing now. The article also highlights the human suffering this has caused. It also concludes by showing the disproportionate death toll that Israel has inflicted on Gaza.
Here’s an opinion article published today from one of the main columnists that is very explicit about the genocide in Gaza: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/19/imagine-silent-terrible-evil-committed-gaza-inaction-censorship
So maybe let’s not attack media outlets that do actually show what is going on and that are willing to call it what it is?
I won’t bother with the Dutch state broadcaster because I doubt you speak the language, but with them it’s mostly the same story, though they don’t have opinion articles and the liveblog posts are a bit more concise. But they too have reported on ceasefire violations by Israel and the ICC case for genocide against Israel, and they often have expert opinions that also call out the disproportionate violence from the Israeli side.
Here’s the Guardian article on the condemnation of the attacks: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/18/un-human-rights-chief-voices-horror-at-israel-new-gaza-strikes
Hey, that one’s actually good, only issue being one instance of “Hostages” vs “detainees”
Here’s a slightly more recent article that focuses on Israel’s justification and Netanyahu’s comments: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/18/israel-gaza-strikes-deaths-latest-update
This one is pretty damn bad though, spending a disproportionate amount of time uncritically repeating the lies and rhetoric of Israel, it also repeats the lie of Hamas starting the fighting by “attacking Israel” as well as not differentiating between civilian and military casualties on October 7th, before immediately giving a comedicly low death count for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

A good editorial, not that it too talks about how bad the media has been.
So maybe let’s not attack media outlets that do actually show what is going on and that are willing to call it what it is?
I mean, they’re still extremely hesitant to actually call it what it is, instead resorting to qualified “some say” framing, while also giving equal consideration (or sometimes greater) to obvious lies from Israel. Don’t get me wrong, the guardian is way better than most, but that a relative statement.
Hey, that one’s actually good, only issue being one instance of “Hostages” vs “detainees”
Doesn’t Hamas also call them that? Or perhaps it’s just translated as such.

The entire point of that article is to report on what Israel is saying. So I’m not sure how that can be disproportionate if it exclusively talks about what it says in the headline. I think it makes sense for a media outlet to also report what Israel says, even if it can be disproven (and the Guardian does add that context). The Guardian here objectively reports on what Israel says, which I think is an important function of a news outlet. The Guardian also mentions that the “eruption of violence” started on October 7th, and I’m pretty sure that’s objectively true as well. Before that there was a very uneasy “peace” with plenty of violence to go around, but nothing to the scale of what we saw on Octobee 7th and beyond. Note how the language used doesn’t explicitly blame Hamas for the entire conflict.
The “comedically low death count” is the count as reported by the Gaza health ministry. Of course more people have indirectly died as a result of the war, but that’s a different statistic. Not sure what you want the Guardian to do here, unless you think Hamas is also fudging the numbers or something(?)
Any mention of this being going on since the nakba of 1947?
There was no war in israel before oct 7.
Like there was no war in ukraine before 2022.
Who needs in-depth background when it’s inconvenient?Step 1. Pick the start date of history.
Step 2. Enemy can only hate freedom for unprovoked attack, because history never existed before step 1,
"But can the Guardian categorically say it stood up as a genocide unfolded and did everything in its power to report accurately? Certainly not. If Haaretz, a newspaper in a country with military censorship of the media, can have editorials openly using words like ethnic cleansing, what’s stopping the Guardian?”
Israel’s genocide was only on pause: for Palestinians woken on Monday night by a vicious wave of airstrikes, the resumption was no less shocking. More than 400 people – many of them children – were slaughtered in a matter of hours, in an assault that reportedly received the “green light” from Donald Trump. This mayhem was swiftly followed by evacuation orders – that is, forced displacement – raising the possibility of renewed ground operations. Israel’s excuse? A confected claim that Hamas hasn’t observed the terms of January’s so-called ceasefire agreement – the terms of which Israel itself has broken over and over again.
I read the Guardian enough to know that it tries to do two things:
A) Provide a neutral, unbiased presentation of facts and statements from all parties. This does include statements from Israeli officials that are false, but they are usually also provided with the context that shows they are false. It also includes reporting on investigations into the genocide, as well as statements from parties that accuse Israel of genocide.
B) Provide opinion pieces that explain what they think about the war, which in my experience is definitely negative towards Israel (which makes sense), see the linked piece that directly accuses Israel of genocide as an example.
I don’t think moving goalposts to reframe a media outlet that is clearly very critical of Israel as having a pro-Israeli bias is a productive use of time and energy.
