Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, June 08, 2025

108 bodies and 393 injured victims were brought to hospitals in Gaza during the past 24 hours. The death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached 54,880, the majority of whom were women and children, since the beginning of the Nakba in October 2023. At least 126,227 others have also been injured or maimed. The total number of people killed by the IDF in so-called aid distribution areas is 115, with over 1,110 others injured. After US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) capitulated on the horrendous GOP budget and USSECSTATE Marco Rubio released $4bn in emergency military aid to Israel in March 2025, the IDF resumed the Nakba, killing 4,603 Palestinians and injuring 14,186. The IDF has ominously threatened that the Freedom Flotilla will not be allowed to approach Gaza. Meanwhile the IDF stormed the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, and assaulted an elderly farmer (63) who was lucky not to have been killed.

The hardworking American taxpayer, antiwar volunteers, and just normal people with a sense of decency are just sick and tired of Israel's wanton butchery and ethnic cleansing. The Democratic Party already paid the price on 5 Nov 2024 for supporting Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud Party. The Democrats will continue paying the price at the polls as millions of progressives will simply stay home for future elections rather than vote for an AIPAC-supported candidate. Their consciences will be clear. Sources:

    This drum beat of death and the erasure of a culture by bigots is not going to end well.

    Too much is Visible. The Fiendish Glee of the Killers...no Remorse.

    Delighting in the Mayhem...they Cry Out in Pain... why do they make us kill them?

    Victims even as Genocidaires..

    Lol.

    Bad as they are, they are pikers compared to Vlad's Death Tolls... on both sides.

    The Israel murder campaign is arguably worse from a moral position because American taxpayers are funding it, unlike the Nakba in Ukraine which the American taxpayer is funding to prevent. IDF Dr Sabo Amos likened killing Palestinians to exterminating Palestinians. Writing that the IDF are "pikers" compared to the Russians diminishes IDF war crimes and atrocities; Palestinians would disagree with that assessment: c8.alamy.com

    I will put Vlad's war crimes and atrocities up against any other current atrocity... any day.

    Let's just say there are no good guys in either fight; one just has bigger numbers than the other. Vlad with a million of his own troops dead or wounded.

    My post was directed to EffetePutin, who has championed that cause here for years; before your Membership.

    When defending a genocide requires a deeper pit.. dude.

    How is Israel's genocide news anymore.

    Over 90% of Gaza has been complete destroyed.

    Because Israel plans on incorporating Gaza (and the West Bank) into Netanyahu's vision for a greater Israel.

    The people cheering on this genocide will have to answer for it in hell.

    - defending a genocide

    Reading comprehension is a skill; show me where I've ever defended Israel.

    My point was to EffetePutin for his consideration.

    Russia has no easy off ramp.

    They show no sugn of relentimg but realistically they can't easily stop now.

    The very savagery of the fight make the "sunk costs" conundrum part of the thinking.

    On both sides. It sucks, but it is, what it is.

    Israel is different.

    They are Strangling an entire people for ethnic supremacy and to steal everything up to the very history of the land.

    ---- Them.

    - Russia has no easy off ramp.

    ---------. They halt this Invasion targeting mostly civilian families and go home whenever Vlad tells them to.

    - They are Strangling an entire people for ethnic supremacy and to steal everything up to the very history of the land?

    Vlad is doing it for cash, so one s'poses that's better?

    Russia's crimes are at least as bad as Israel's and are being done on a much larger scale.

    You could ask the thousands of Ukrainian children that Russia has stolen how they feel about it.
