just wanted to remind the people here that children (and all the other kinds of people who deserve to live) are still being bombed and starved in Gaza

I know that this is mostly a site about things like programming or art or other generally casual topics, but I do feel like this isn’t being talked about enough on here, I haven’t seen anything about it in my feed for weeks, if not over a month

Please at least think and/or talk about this crisis, thank you

personally: I don't really want to see these sorts of posts on wasteof. I already know the sort of stuff going on, and it sucks. I do not need informed when I'm already informed.I support Palestine. I don't like political posts on social media, they can be really annoying.

sorry if that’s the case, but the people in Palestine actually have to live through this (and possibly die), and most of the powerful countries are doing barely anything to help, if not making things worse (cutting funding to aid organizations, supplying weapons to israel, etc.) so the responsibility has fallen on us to help them.

I also don’t magically know whether people are informed or not, but the lack of posts on here made it seem like people had stopped caring about this situation.

i don't get the problem people have with political posts on social media. saying "free palestine" is no more political than saying "trans rights". should either of these things be discouraged? i don’t think so. politics is so incredibly important and intersects with everyones daily lives. if someone who lives in gaza joined wasteof would you tell them not to talk about what’s happening in their life? would it still be considered political if they talked about what was happening to them?
