A connectivity blackout means people cannot contact friends, family or even ambulances to help the injured.

        No, it’s not fine. But a magical sky god war can have no end. There’s no negotiation that will make either side give in.

          “A magical sky god war” is being financed by our taxes and Saudi royalty. There is no “holy war”. It was always about resources, political influence and greed. Religion is just a smoke screen.

          Just because you got bored of one war, doesn’t mean this genocide should be overlooked.

            The genocide has been going on for decades. The conflict in that region has been going on for centuries. And you’re right, there is a lot of interest in controlling that area for many reasons. One of them is religion. I’m not overlooking anything.

        It’s not new, and it doesn’t really seem like much of an escalation. Are the number of people dead on either side more than last year of this millennia-long holy war for the mythical holy land?

        I’m not saying we should pretend there isn’t anything else going on, but this is just the same shit day after day with them. It’s not news.

        I mean, it’s news because the weapon manufacturers are salivating.

            I think there’s a lot going on this month in that region, yes. Escalated? That’s not the word I’d use.

            What I predict is nothing ever changes there, and the Muslims and Jews will be forever at war over a mythical plot of land.

      So colonialism and imperialism are just “holy wars” to you?

      Not to mention the fact that this particular conflict isn’t two thousand years old, it’s just 76 years old. Some Palestinians are still alive who remember the Nakhba.
