A room inside the Kfar Aza kibbutz [Warning: Graphic image]

[speak easy]

We hide the photos of children murdered by mass shooters in our schools. We don't want to see atrocities. We should not look away, not every time. If we can't confront violence against children, what is left of our humanity?

2. Hamas apologists: "Looks like somebody spilled ketchup. Fake News"

"Show me the body"

"Show me the long-form death certificate"


etc.

4. Why

is this shown here? We all can imagine the horrendous site after such a massacre. God help those families

[speak easy]

5. Why was this shown during the Vietnam War?

A: Because some people won't believe it until they can see with their own eyes.

[claudette]

6. I don't know

who wants to see that

[speak easy]

7. That photo of the 'napalm girl' changed the course

of U.S. public opinion about the Vietnam War. Are you saying it should have been suppressed? That the American people should not have seen the horrors that U.S. military operations were inflicting on Vietnamese children?

[claudette]

13. I never said that

I asked why it was posted here

[Maru Kitteh]

19. So where is it appropriate? When is okay to shake loose the comfort of not seeing what is real?

Answer? It's not when people "are ready for it." It must be seen.

14. The girl who is in the photo has become a fierce advocate...

Of peace and forgiveness.

Kim Phuc

[speak easy]

15. Yes. She established the Kim Phc International Foundation,

that provides medical and psychological assistance to child victims of war.

8. Becasue there have been people declaring such stories to be propoaganda.

Not you, but simply put, I've heard enough people claiming it's all propoaganda that such images have to be posted to counter the bullshit.

If you don't like it, maybe hold Hamas responsible.

[claudette]

12. Of course

Hamas is responsible for the horror but I don’t think they posted a photo here. I’d just like to know who takes these photos anyway? It is heart wrenching

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Heroes take those photos and often pay the price to shake society by the shoulders and

wake them to the suffering of others.

[Swede]

21. This has to be witnessed.

Turn your face away if you must. But, like the holocause, this must be seen.

[BigmanPigman]

9. The govt and schools in Israel are telling parents to turn off Tik Tok and

Instagram and X since they don't want their children to see the hostages begging for their lives than being killed which will be posted by Hamas on social media.

10. :(

11. So sad 😢 nt

16. "There are no civilians.... only on or off duty armed forces personnel "

Said at a pro-Palestinian rally in Vancouver, Canada.

[dalton99a]

17. They are dutifully parroting Hamas

[sarisataka]

18. Exactly. Babies grow up to be soldiers

So they are not civilians, just "off duty."

The eldery were soldiers, so are "off duty". Maybe they can fire a gun from their wheelchair.

Sadly we have people who cannot bring themselves to condemn this.
