it's kind of funny to watch the us be dragged hair-first into the israel-iran war spending billions making sure they don't have to bleed their own blood, while chastening ukraine over loving with the sacred number by attacking russian oil as they fight what a year ago we were told was a noble existential war

But before you accept make sure they think you are Israel white and not Ukraine white or the 'warfare in your neighbourhood' will mean something very different.

25,000 tonnes of explosives dropped on Gaza, ‘largely’ using AI: UN expert

Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territory, has said that 25,000 tonnes of explosives have been dropped on Gaza, “largely identified as targets by Artificial Intelligence (AI)”.

Albanese added that 250 people were killed per day during the first weeks of Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip when she says 2000-pound “bunker buster bombs” were “launched on densely populated areas”.

Albanese made the comments after Israel’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom Tzipi Hotovely told the UK broadcaster Sky News “just imagine how things would have looked” if a huge missile fell “in the middle of a city like Jerusalem”.

“Just think about it hitting neighbourhoods and people and children,” Hotovely said.

Hotovely made the comments in an interview about the missiles and drones Iran launched on Israel on Saturday night, that she acknowledged caused “barely no damage.”

Between 1940 and 1945, U.S. and British air forces dropped 2.7 million tons of bombs on Europe, half of that amount on Germany. By the time the Nazi government surrendered, in May 1945, the industrial infrastructure of the Third Reich—railheads, arms factories and oil refineries—had been crippled, and dozens of cities across Germany had been reduced to moonscapes of cinder and ash.

1% of the way to the total explosives dropped on Europe by the allies during WWII

It's hard to get a sense of scale, but an F-16 can carry 8000 pounds of bombs. That's double what a B-17 typically carried on missions over Northwest Europe.

When I see stuff like this I try to think of something funny to say, but after about 5 seconds the hypocrisy and callousness makes something in my brain snap. All I can imagine is caps lock ranting and raving at the depravity.

Ethnic conflict is prone to escalate into atrocities like genocide when one group mythologizes the other as inclined to commit them and then believes they are justified in committing them in retaliation
