If you're someone who supports the evil concept of 'collateral damage' you need to get off my page. Please just block me & never return.

Look up the history of who invented the term & how it has been used to dehumanize people, justify mass murder & prop up violent colonialism.

Great interview on the death toll in Gaza.
This expert says 60-70k is a conservative extrapolation.

There is a Canadian team past the halfway point of the semi-finals series of the NHL playoffs, so it's just about time for me to care a little bit about sports briefly.

'We will turn your cities into ruins like in the Gaza Strip.'

Israel's far-right Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, threatens Palestinians of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, pledging a fate akin to that of Gaza.

Calling for the annihilation of Palestinians also violates US law

Ousting Netanyahu won’t fix this.

The career administrator class love spending money on useless external consultants almost as much as they hate listening to subject matter experts among their own faculty.

'Meh. There are always civilian casualties. It's just part of war.'

- People who never experience war where they live, commenting on deaths 'over there'

Israel intends to colonize at least 32% of the Gaza Strip.

It was always about the creation of 'Greater Israel' over all the lands of Palestine, from the river to the sea.

For Israel, this is the new map of the Strip ... until such a moment where they can turn it all red.

'Sunday’s strike shows that even the smaller 250-pound bombs the U.S. has continued to provide can be too large for use near densely packed refugee areas'

'Children have accounted for the major portion of cases and deaths in an ongoing mpox outbreak in the DR Congo.'

i keep hoping this is the worst, and then it isn't. Every day is a new horror

You assumed and suggested the shooter was an immigrant without any facts. It was more than irresponsible, it could put people in harms way by inciting hatred and increasing tensions.
