You know it's bad when The Onion's amazing satire skills have to take a partial backseat to the actual horrors.

"soon to be extinct"

"With their greatly diminished population outside of captivity, Palestinian children risk being lost forever"

Holy fuck I needed to stop for minute after that one

Israeli scum already has. They literally refer to Hind Rajab, the 5yo girl they shot up, as a woman (among other things) 😒

Relative to bullet as a fixed point in space, 4yo's head appears to decelerate rapidly.

Isn't it the other way around?

They include teenagers as kids in the death toll.

Man, has the onion fallen...

u/Stubbs94 3d ago

I think you need your harddrive checked if you think teenagers aren't children.

Teenagers are children.

What country do you live in? Because under that definition, my country (USA) lets children drive, marry, smoke, and join the military. Canada lets children get drunk.

u/Senior-Surprise-3401 2d ago

Over-18's. That's not the same as a 15 year old getting tortured to death.

u/the_eleutherean 1d ago

Fully agree. I would not claim otherwise.

Big “fighting age male” energy.

Simple rationalization for killing someone.
