The bottom half is a cropped section of the top, which unfortunately detracts from the very real tragedy of the far too many people pictured.

If anyone has seen a higher res version of this I would appreciate it.

For the record, my upvote is for visibility. I do not like this.

Upvotes never were supposed to be „likes“. They are supposed to be „this is a valuable contribution and should be seen by more people“

Americans are such a passive people. Their state can commit the worst atrocities, no peep from them. If this was any EU country, heads would be flying.

EDIT: After writing this, I thought and I disagree with my own statement. People suck. All people, generally. Some are a bit more passive than others, but generally, humanity sucks, people suck. We value comfort way too much and are not up to give up 0.1% of it, even in the face of atrocities. Principled people are very rare.

Not so sure about that. Children are still starving in gaza and most eu countries support isreal.

Our EU 'leaders' are complicit.

Sounds like an overstatement of the European civilian response. A majority of Westerners have generally supported colonial settler activities for the past 500 years.

Largest ever protest (at the time at least) and it didnt stop shit.

Good to see them trying but still disheartening

This American wept at this. I can’t imagine the pain.
