I was too young for the first and I truly believe that observing what is going on now is a catastrophe for my personal humanity and I hope I can live my life in such a way as to educate and agitate against the forces that facilitated this disgusting farce
comrade, it pains me that you have had to witness both and I wish us and those who read this much resilience and strength going forward
I understand your point completely, it was simply not the focus of the point I was making in my comment
however what you say bears repeating and I have nothing against that whatsoever
edit: by analagous I was trying to refer simply to the parallels in global public condemnation, not any strict empirical comparison in defined terms
the iraq war was a war of aggression involving a litany of further crimes against humanity
what is happening in gaza is a genocide
but I hope my comment can still be understood as I intended it
Totally, I don’t think you were diminishing anything. Just, having lived through both, this feels so much worse.
