23. The hypocrisy kills me.
Sun Oct 12, 2025, 09:12 PM
Sunday

But of course we all know "human shields" actually means people you have the right to kill with impunity. Funny how the illogic and immorality of that is not ever questioned...


The successful inversion of reality, aka gaslighting, is why Israel gets away with everything. But only because too many of us in the West are willing to be gaslit. Funny how the Global South doesn't have that problem, just us in the "civilized" West.

And unlike the fabled Iron Dome, human bodies don't provide a shield against bombs and missiles and an enemy intent on killing the "shields" - family, neighbours, kids in schools and hospital patients etc - along with the "shielded".
