“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.

      Why so? Care to elaborate on your thoughts? What to explain to the class why you hate… [checks notes] satire?

        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.

          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.

                  Blocking you would be like visiting the circus and skipping the freak tent. I’d rather enjoy the shit show.

                    This is why I tag them so I remember to view their takes with a grain of salt when they turn up elsewhere.

          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.
