“The horror unfolding in Gaza is unquestionably a genocide, and the full extent of that horror won’t be truly known until it comes to an end,” said one political analyst.
I can’t believe they are doing a genocide after explicitly saying for months they’d do a genocide after years of doing a genocide.
We should give them another 20 billion worth of bombs.
Remember when this first started happening, we hit, what was it? 5,000? And all the apologists were going “YOU DON’T KNOW!!!”
Yeah…
Genocide in our time is worst than the one committed by Hitler since nowadays we know what is happening. Our response should be greater than Nuremberg trials of the Nazi.
And it won’t even see something similar to Allies from the west and Soviets from the east converging to get rid of even just the “war” aspect of it, because the smallest-dick army in the world is sponsored by the biggest-bully army this time.
At the start of WWII nobody even knew what Hitler was doing to the Jews/gays/Romani/etc. let alone gave a shit; other countries were forced to fight only because the Axis kept attacking them.
Geopolitically speaking, invading a country to save an internal minority from genocide is just not a thing that happens.
It’s never good to compare one genocide to the other. If you did and applied consequence to it, the current situation in Gaza would come show up somewhere in the middle of all ongoing atrocities, behind Sudan and Yemen.
Instead, efforts should be made to stop all of these wars regardless of location and political ideology.
I look forward to watching the Hasbara trolls try to discredit one of the world’s leading STEM research journals.
You should always be critical of what you read.
The Lancet is the journal that published Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent MMR paper.
Also the journal that had one of the biggest retractions in modern history of a paper on Hydroxychloroquine.
Are you unfamiliar with the process of peer review? This is science working as intended. Blame psychopaths like Wakefield for spreading dangerous lies, not the process that was used to determine they were lies in the first place.
Peer review isn’t perfect, but it’s supposed to filter out papers with obvious and major flaws.
And usually scientific journals which are more highly regarded, are supposed to be more strict in their peer review process than others. Which is how they become highly regarded in the first place.
The hydroxychloroquine paper for example had major flaws in the design of the analysis. There wasn’t even a need for an expert in order to discover that, and you’re supposed to have experts doing the peer review process in such a highly regarded journal.
How does Israel keep getting away with this?
