In any normal universe, thousands of innocent people being massacred on a single day would be bigger than 9/11. Yet aside from this post on lemmy, I've heard nothing of it. WTF is going on!?

It doesn't strategically affect the 3 major powers. And also you probably need to tweak your news sources if none of them are telling you about this.

Those that care are powerless.

Still a massacre, but did you actually read the article? It says thousands were shot at, not killed. How many people upvoting your comment pointing out a lack of information actually read the article presented to them?

It says Israeli troops gun down thousands of Palestinians awaiting aid in north Gaza, did you read the fucking article, it’s right in the title.

“gun down thousands”

That does not mean shot at, that means killed.

Did YOU read the article?

No official death toll is yet available; nevertheless, local reports say anywhere between 80 and 200 Gazans were killed during the latest Israeli massacre.
