    Why are people down voting news stories about things they disagree with? This is objectively an event that has happened regarding an influential person and a serious armed conflict.

    This post is at -2 right now. Is this story posted in the wrong group? Fake? Sensationalized?

    We can’t just “vote away” world events.

      Because this story keeps getting posted to try to defend Israel’s killing of citizens

        so many headlines about nethanyahu’s outrage over the lack of uprising of the international community in response to allegations of rape by hamas. thing is, there were eyewitness reports of and allegations of rape beginning on the day of the attack. of course if true, beyond unacceptable, but the world was already full well aware. just fits in line with israel’s track record of recycling talking points to boost outrage.

        i have nothing against followers of judaism, but israel is clearly a ticking time bomb and should be handled as such.

          Israel isn’t even a community of folowers of Judaism - it’s a cult of followers of Israel.

      This is not objectively an event that has happened. It’s not news. It’s made up atrocity propaganda, trying to get westerners to consent to the genocide of Palestinians.
