"Hostages Freed From Gaza Recount Violence, Hunger and Fear"
Edit to add, just in case you never really *got* the meaning of "never again"; it meant no longer lambs to the slaughter, that they are going to fight back and furthermore do so ferociously, and give a damn what anyone else thinks. You were expecting nicey-nice? Those who did so are fools!

Or the abduction of 100s of thousands of Ukrainians kids for "adoption" in Russia?

Did the Arab community denounce these atrocities? Did they send aid? How much clamor was there at the UN?

The race to save Ukraine’s abducted children
The plight of those taken to Russia without their families’ consent has received comparatively little attention
Gillian Tett SEPTEMBER 13 2023
...Lubinets said he has records of almost 20,000 such deportations. He added, however, that Russia’s children’s rights commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, has proudly claimed “several times” that there are 700,000 Ukrainian children in Russia. (In March.
...
In Kyiv, I met the bestselling French novelist Marc Levy, whose new novel La Symphonie des monstres recounts the tale of a nine-year-old boy called Valentyn, who is deported, and his frantic mother. Although the character is fictional, he is a composite based on true stories. Levy decided to write the book (which is mesmerising) because the deportee issue cuts deeply for him. He lost his grandparents in Auschwitz, and his Jewish father was deported during the second world war. “I can’t imagine losing my own children like this. I don’t know how I would survive,” he told me.
He had another motive: Levy is deeply frustrated by how little attention the issue of child deportations is receiving, as were many others I spoke to in Kyiv. “The [French] television is pro-Ukrainian and speaks day and night about tanks and satellites and drones and the front, but [not] the children,” said Patrick Desbois, a Catholic priest involved in the campaign to change this. Desbois, whose grandfather was also deported in wartime, runs a Holocaust memorial group that has searched for other displaced youth, such as the Yazidi children taken by Isis nearly a decade ago. As he pointed out, little attention was given to them initially.
There is now a race against time for deported Ukrainian children. Since they are often adopted after a few months in Russia and, as Lubinets observed, “in the documents the Russians often change everything, like name and date of birth and place of birth”, it will become increasingly hard to find them as time passes.
Lubinets complained bitterly about what he sees as the inaction of the UN and International Committee of the Red Cross, among other groups. Anna Maria Corazza Bildt, a former European parliamentarian involved in children’s issues told me: “The UN is useless because Russia is on the security council and blocking everything.”
In this void, private charities and the Ukrainian government are using any avenue they can to track and retrieve children. Precise tactics are closely guarded, but include hacking the Russian internet to search for records, sending letters to Russian bureaucrats, calling sympathetic Russian citizens and dispatching mediators (and parents themselves) to Russia to argue their case.
Andriy Yermak, head of the presidential office in Kyiv, spoke about seeking help from third parties such as Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Roman Abramovich, the Russian oligarch, to try to broker a deal to repatriate Ukrainian children.
Sometimes this works. But the truth is that only about 400 children have returned so far — and this is unlikely to rise rapidly without new inducements or pressure on Russia, be that bribes or a fear of sanctions for lower-level officials. “The practical question is what can we give Russia to get the children back?” asked Desbois...

It boggles my mind why there is not more universal outrage. Death from bombing has become routine 'collateral damage' to many, but stealing children is still the basic stuff of nightmares.

Of course not, it's a disagreement between whypipple about borders, and furthermore Zelensky is Jewish and a supporter of the evil hegemon Israel. Basically fascists vs. fascists; why should they care?

p.s. you should be at the social workers teach-in tomorrow, they would no doubt splain it all to you why Hamas' struggle on behalf of the Palestinian cause is the most important issue as to the world order. Get the Palestinians in charge from the river to the sea-intifada forever-and everything else will fall into place. You will start to see how bin Laden was right and how 9/11 deaths were necessary collateral damage. (Don't worry about Islamic fundamentalist attitude towards non-male beings, that will all be straightened out later after the revolution.)

BTW birthrate has dropped down to 2.7, though annual decrease has slowed the past 5 years. Still, heading towards the rest of the civilized world in at least that regard.

If you don't see Hamas waging war against 'the west" and "western values (much more than Putin is, for one example) you're missing the real point. It's not just about Palestinians; there's a reason the Iranian mullans support them.

Ok, 1) what's point of hunger strike if ppl already underfed? Will they care more about Cynthia Nixon?
2) does a state resolution for a country across the world valuable in some way?

My stomach remains turned, my head still spinning. On Twitter it's still only "alleged rape". As always, nothing can be actually true, just a misunderstood detail to wipe aside to get back to other complaints. But did Jews in terror coordinate a cover Story of fictitious rape while hiding from murderous gangs in the desert? Occam says no, whatever less true "beheaded babies" may have popped up in the immediate aftermath. And isn't it part of the UNHRA's mission to figure out what it's wards did on their kill spree holiday?
