Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

    Numbers don’t lie.

    Neither Ukraine nor Russia come even close to as bloodthirsty for civilian lives as Israel. Israel is killing civilians and killing Hamas fighters as collateral damage. Ukraine and Russia are killing each other’s soldiers and killing civilians as collateral damage. They’re not the same.

          5 days for a comeback that weak?

          You should’ve left me crying after cooking up a little something for that long.

            I mean, sounds like your most advanced exposure to statistics was “this is a joint probability”

            Take a more advanced stats course. It’s really insightful and will open your mind.

          I think this is likely correct. Lemmy’s users skew very young. It explains a lot about what opinions, sentiments and views are and are not popular around here. Obviously there are some oldsters like myself, but I think we’re more the exception rather than the rule.

            That is continually changing as people find the site.

            Early adoption sites are always full of young people and extremists early on.

          Fun fact about the UN, is that the Arab League has massive voting power due to “one nation one vote.” That’s how UNRWA got so corrupted.
