I'm not talking about who shoots the biggest rockets and who kills more people here. I'm talking about portraying a literal slaughter fest as a tiny lil rocket, mosquito sting or whatever, which causes no harm at all. This is not the right comic & subtitle to show what happened 'today'. At least in my opinion. Because it's not disproportionate to what happened.
But feel free to disagree, it you think it is. To me OP is more or less mocking the victims and I find it distasteful. Especially because people were involved, who weren't even culturally part of this ethnical conflict in the first place.
And no I'm not part of team both sides bad, because this conflict involves more than two sides and in the end people in Gaza suffer the most.
Where did I mock the victims? Do not put words in my mouth. Can you not make a half-sound argument without lying?
By disproportianting what happened. How you can not see that is beyond me. Just try to reflect on what you posted. Slaughtering hundred civilians = tiny mosquito rocket.
'History repeats itself'.. but this level didn't happen before.
From what I can see, @matcha_addict@lemy.lol is not mocking the victims of this tragedy, but rather criticising the media for writing about the israeli deaths caused by the hamas attack, yet hardly making a sound about the palestine deaths caused by israel.
It IS NOT a disproportionate representation. THAT'S THE POINT.
I am very sorry you fail to realize what death Israel will doll out in response, but this comic is completely accurate in the proportions displayed.
You LITERALLY have fighter jets and bombers striking back against ... paragliders with guns...
Again, NO ONE except fucking losers are saying Hamas did anything good. That doesn't make murdering dozens of thousands of Palestinians OK.
