Estimations of indirect deaths varies of course since they are more difficult.

The 150k includes these indirect deaths. Deaths from starvation, trampling, disease and sickness as a result of the war.

Have you been living under a rock and purposefully avoiding all the coverage of how Israel have been bombing these "open civilian corridors"?

Maybe you missed the news of how Israel have spent millions of dollars on killing more than 200 aid workers.

You claim intention is needed. What do you call intentionally shelling the "civilian corridors" they themselves tell people to use?

They trap them inside, and shell them continuously. More than a 150'000 people have died as just an indirect cause, being denied clean water, food, shelter and medical supplies.

I'll give you a quick tldr; because I know to won't.

20 out of Gaza's 22 hospitals were damaged or destroyed during the first 2 months, 14 of which suffered direct attacks from Israel.

What do you think the intent is behind taking out hospitals? I think the intent is to deny medical aid to the hundreds of thousands civilian casualties.

By everything you yourself have stated. What they're doing is a genocide. Their intention is to exterminate the Palestinian people. Gaza will be reduced to rubble. Along with everyone in it. And after there's nothing left and no one can live there. Israel will sieze it.

This little port you think you can use as proof otherwise is nothing but bare minimum to try and make it seem like that's not what they're doing. Like a child pretending to cough so they can stay home from school.

I can't exactly say I've seen it in my local library. I remember this being circulated and just really hoped that the idiots in my class wouldn't blow their hands off.

Been a very long time since I've seen this in digital form. I really thought it would be more difficult to find this these days.

Thought I didn't really look for it either I suppose.

Remember how Elon was very keen on limiting Starlink for Ukraine.

That makes a lot more sense now doesn't it.

In the "wild west" days there was a certain "terrorists handbook" circulating with detailed instructions on how to make all sorts of things.

I'm very happy that sort of thing isn't easily available to everyone anymore.

Trolling then and "trolling" now are just not the same. The meaning behind the word has evolved to mean something malicious. Trolling back then meant more like a practical joke. Like telling a noob alt+f4 will give them buffs in a game.

But you're trying to compare a time where the internet had few million of users rather than a few billion ones.

Oh, and people got banned ALL THE TIME before too. I don't know if you remember mud's or IIRC. But I do. Banning annoying people was very common. Certainly ain't nothing new. Behave or gtfo.

Tiananman square massacre is the name for the entire tragedy that took place. You trying to say how people didn't die at the square itself does nothing.

And it doesn't matter if they were protesting for more, or less communism. What happened is still an absolute tragedy and disaster and trying to downplay it is pathetic. It was fucked up, how do you expect to learn from the past if you deny it ever happened?

You if anyone need to see the documentation of the events. The tank man got famous because one. It was incredibly brave, it had a good ending with him not ending up in a puddle.

Moat other images and recordings are not very media friendly. Though if you want to see what happened. Here you go.

There are multiple words that describe numbers.

Couple, pair, and two are all words that describe the number 2.

Unfortunately, I've had plenty of conversations here with people who think exactly this.

So yes, there are people who literally think this.

Not about that. They have some misguided notion that Russia stands for some imaginary form of communism that is the answer to everything.

And everything bad in the world is because of Capitalism. And also, everything west of Russia is "The west" and the entire "the west" is one entity.
