I was one of those pedantic assholes arguing that one shouldn't use the term genocide too quickly, as you could have pretty fucking awful crimes against humanity without meeting the definition of genocide.
But yeah, at this point the line has been crossed a long time ago. It's genocide.
Nothing short of heroic - too many people in a similar situation find themselves saying that it's awful what's happening, but there's nothing they can do about it.
Does someone know if anyone maintains a list of companies or organizations where this kind of bullshit has gone down, with link to sources? Could be useful to keep track.
I can't believe how quickly we went from pretending we thought murdering civilians was a bad thing to concluding it's merely a matter of killing the right civilians.
There's a lot of less resourceful russian men who fled to escape the draft as well, generally to countries in Western Asia rather than in Europe. But they had better reasons to leave then most.
Unfortunately I'm not so sure they're missing the point. I'm afraid there's quite a few people who are just excited to see their scheduled genocide put into motion.
Hamas knew what was coming when they launched their senseless terror. The blood of civilians on the Gaza Strip is on their hands.
Likewise, Netanyahu and his far right government has been provoking this intentionally. He has the blood of Israeli citizen on his. They did not expect an attack to be this successful, but I guaran-fucking-tee you they were waiting for and intentionally provoking an opportunity to strike back.
Both of them intentionally kill civilians. Both can get fucked.
If you're looking for heroes, start with the people working for UN schools at the Gaza Strip.
It's such a potent example why everyone who cares need to stop using Chromium based browsers before it's too late. Stunts like this would be much harder to pull if there wasn't a de facto browser monopoly.
