“We know there are voices across the world calling for a ceasefire, but what everyone needs to understand is that the only people who stand to gain from halting the bombing campaign are people who deeply value human life,”
The onion editors should volunteer themselves as human shields on Palestinian and Israeli side, to force a ceasefire then. Humanity will benefit even more.
That sounds random and completely unhinged. Why the onion editors in particular?
So you honestly missed their one sided coverage of the conflict so far? This is yet another epistle trying to take a shit on Israel and Israel alone, pretending that it is only Israels fault that there is no ceasefire and that there is a war in the first place. So they should come down from their high horse of self perceived moral righteousness and do something actually useful.
“Stop killing each other” is one sided in your weird world?
What fucking coverage are you flapping about? Are you a bot? It’s a satire news site. SATIRE. not FACTUAL not REPORTING –
it’s shitposting in blog format.
Are you just mad they are not full throating the bullshit coming out of Apartheid Israel?
Ui, you know big words.
None of those are big words. Eat your onion and shut the fuck up.
Wow, now angry words from internet person. That supposed to impress anyone?
Just block me if you don’t like what I am saying.
Blocking you would be like visiting the circus and skipping the freak tent. I’d rather enjoy the shit show.
So you’re batshit crazy. Got it. Explains a lot.
😘
Bruh.
Did you actually eat the onion? On a community named, “the onion”? Dedicated to the well-known satirical news site called, “the onion”?
Bruh.
So you honestly don’t understand what the onion is saying?
Do you?
Do you?
I understand it’s an American satirical site. It’s going to riff off the popular American narrative.
Fuck Israel.
Over 6.000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by now. Considering the collapse of the medical system and a thosuand people still missing in the rubbles, we can expect the death toll of Israels action so far, to pass 7.000 That is already 5x as many people as killed in the Hamas attack. There is more Palestinian children that were killed by Israel in the past two weeks, than Israelis killed by the Hamas attack.
Israel has committed numerous warcrimes, the most blatant and throughout their total siege of Gaza that put 2 Million people into a humanitarian crisis. If things continue like this we are looking at potentially hundreds of thousands of killed Palestinians.
Of course Israel is facing the main criticism by the Onion now, because they have the power do change something and instead they use the power to commit more atrocities. Meanwhile the western governments and many news outlets still turn a blind eye towards the terror instilled on the Palestinians by Israel.
It is the duty of satire to work as a corrective force and what needs to be corrected right now is the public representation that is overly favourable towards Israel and inhumanely neglectious of the situations of the Palestinians.
Why so? Care to elaborate on your thoughts? What to explain to the class why you hate… [checks notes] satire?
Jokes on you, they don’t have any. It’s right in the nickname.
Missiles aren’t going to sell themselves.
slaps nose cone this bad boi thing can kill anyone from the age 0-99+ Were you looking to lease new or buy pre owned? pre owned missiles are all the rage "
In reality it would benefit US having more time to position forces in the middle east and finally properly start that war with Iran. So not really sure if ceasefire would really net more human lives saved in the end.
Funny-sad-real.

Somebody please Photoshop emperor palpatine’s laser hands onto Biden in this photo.
I do not support the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel. That’s my Shibboleth. What Hamas did is unspeakable evil and unforgivable.
That said, Palestinians are human beings and around half of their population are children. When you cut off food, water, electricity, and bomb civilian areas, including the cultural hub of all of Gaza, to dust, maybe your retaliation has gone too far.
What if the prisoners held by Hamas are being treated humanely and taken care of? All this mass slaughter to get them back will look even more barbarous.
Being pro Palestine but anti Hamas is like being pro beef but anti slaughtering cows. Hamas is the means Palestine has to force Israel to quit their genocide, disavowing them is the same as being pro Israeli genocide.
