    Ah yes 18,000 civilian dead bodies, all just playing word games in their mass graves.

      Ah yes, comparing 18,000 people dead as the result of collateral damage in dense urban warfare to the systematic round-up and extermination of 6 million Jews by Hitler. Makes perfect sense. What was I thinking?

        We’re on our way to get to 6 million. This is the world failing to stop a full blown genocide from resuming.

        Imagine yourself saying that at the beginning of the holocaust when the humber of casualties was only 18k.

        That would be disgusting wouldn’t it?

        I think no one except for supporters of Israel would dub this was “collateral damage”. Literally no one else agrees.

        Disturbing.
