Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    You speak out of my heart right now. I couldn’t have put it into better words.

    It got so bad, that I once saw a Comment unironically advocating for the genocide of all Israelis having 200 + upvotes. This was when I put the Israel flag into my Profile.

    I’ll let you in on a secret: The Israel Flag in my Profile? I’m actually very conflicted about Israel. But the way I was seeing Israel unrightfully being bashed, the Hamas terror organization advocating for the literal text-book-definition genocide of Israelis praised, I just felt I had to put it in there.

    Anyways, yeah, I wish we could have civilized discussions about this. But I am afraid this isn’t possible. For whatever reason, civilized political discussions aren’t possible anymore in the english-speaking internet (the Swiss Internet is still somewhat uninfected, but it also seems to be getting worse sadly)

    I wish I could just block politics in general, but I don’t want to let the genocide-advocates to reign unopposed. I don’t want their opinions to seem in any way acceptable.
