If you look at the comments under any YouTube video about Gaza or Lebanon, it's mostly people cheering it on, especially on videos from major media outlets.
It seems like people understand the immense human toll and just don't care because they want to see Israel continue to take out alleged military targets regardless of civilian deaths. It's truly evil and reminiscent of any other genocide in history, the victims just aren't respected as humans.
I'm tired of seeing this over and over, even in the information age. I'm starting to be convinced that humanity is just not viable as a species and is destined to destroy itself ad infinitum over shit like this.
