No one cares about brown indigenous peoples bombed by white colonialists.

Even less care given when brown indigenous peoples bombed by other brown indigenous people https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Syrian_civil_war

Estimates of the total number of deaths in the Syrian Civil War, by opposition activist groups, vary between 503,064 and about 613,407 as of March 2023

A lot of Arabs and Muslims have volunteered to fight Assad, and many foreign countries got involved in Syria

As bad is it was, it is nowhere near as bad as war on Gaza

This is the best summary I could come up with:


JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of surgery at Gaza’s largest and most advanced hospital held up his phone Saturday to the hammering of gunfire and artillery shelling.

“It was the thing we somehow told ourselves wouldn’t happen,” he said, speaking by phone from the central city of Deir al-Balah, where he arrived by foot Friday after escaping what he said were strikes on the hospital with tens of thousands of others.

“It’s to say, ‘Not only will we kill and wound you, we will ensure you have nowhere to go to be treated,’” said Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta, a British Palestinian surgeon working for Doctors Without Borders in Gaza City.

Nonetheless, there must be plenty of warning before attacks to allow for the safe evacuation of patients and medical workers, ICRC legal officer Cordula Droege said.

Even if Israel succeeds in proving Shifa conceals a Hamas command center, the tenets of international law remain in place, said Jessica Wolfendale, expert in military ethics at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.

In an editorial published Friday in Britain’s The Guardian newspaper, International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan issued a warning to combatants that the burden of proof is on them if they claim hospitals, schools or houses of worship have lost their protected status because they are being used for military purposes.


The original article contains 1,155 words, the summary contains 221 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Didn't you all see the things these Hamas fucks did? C'mon now

Hamas hasn't been bombing hospitals. I'm not sure why you think it's okay for Israel to do that.
