“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    Maybe tell that to the children (who are 2 out of every 5 murdered) who didn’t even exist for this definitive election of yours. It’s a fine comparison. It’s been so long since either event that your blaming a currently suffering group for the mistakes of it’s predecessors, and it rings just as gross and hollow. Why don’t you tell me how women should dress so they don’t get raped?

      Idk man shit sucks sometimes, but the people of Palestine have agency, and the Gazans chose their government.

        That’s the best fucking joke I’ve heard in a long time. Gazans have zero control over their situation. Maybe it’s telling that they elected Hamas, (almost 20 goddamn years ago when half their population wasn’t even born yet, I might add) who they felt were the only option to get them out of apartheid.

        Bombing the shit out of population is a great way to breed extremists, and it will continue to happen as long as the ethnic cleansing continues.
