A 16-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin this week was shot dead by an Israeli sniper as she looked out of the window of her home, her father said on Wednesday.

There aren't really words for how upsetting this is

I find I often have to stop for a moment and imagine her life up until the sniper shot. Like, you and I have ONE life, and it's EVERYTHING, and this girl's went dark for the remainder of the universe.

There are, but you can’t say them on .world.

Ironic, considering they whine and moan about being “censored” from posting debunked CIA conspiracy theories on leftist instances.

Bro, your literal entire comment history is attacking people for not sharing your political compass alignment. Get offline. Do something that makes you happy. That shit ain't good for your head, and you can't fight the good fight when you're emotionally unwell and too wrapped up in your own anger to engage with anyone through anything other than insults and attacks.

Hope you have a decent day. Take care

Bless your heart for being so kind to them. I think more people need to take your approach. That account has ‘mosque shooter’ written all over it IMO.
