    Meanwhile, 50-100k Palestinian civilians had been slaughtered. Why is it fucking breaking news that a tiny few soldiers have been soldiered while participating in a genocide? That’s literally their job. Being killed in the name of the gestapo in chief.

    How is this breaking? They’re in a war against mostly unarmed civilians. The shocking part is that .01% are actually facing consequences? “Breaking: 4 Russian soldiers missing” can someone tell me why one is a breaking news story while the other wouldn’t even be mentioned other than the weekly update on Russian losses?

      It’s like how people are getting excited about Gavin Newsom’s dank memes.

      When the opposition is winning in every aspect, even a minor piece of opposition becomes remarkable.

        Oh I don’t doubt how low their losses are because they’re mostly fighting unarmed civilians, often while just trying to get something to eat.

      Their death is not confirmed. Hamas has been trying to expand their captive list for a while and it is looking like they might have finally succeeded.
