| Hardstuck-Platinum said: I typed in "how many different nationalities were killed on october 7" and i got this AI google response. The October 7 attacks resulted in the deaths of individuals from multiple nationalities. According to available data, 79 foreign nationals were killed during the attacks, including Thai workers and citizens from other countries. The victims were from at least 25 different countries, with the United States, Argentina, Germany, France, Russia, Thailand, Nepal, Tanzania, the Philippines, China, and Sri Lanka among those represented. The U.S. Embassy in Chile stated that the attack killed citizens of more than 30 countries, including 46 Americans. Therefore, the number of different nationalities killed on October 7 is at least 25, with some sources indicating the figure could be as high as 30 or more. Citizens from at least 25-30 and possibly more nationalities. You're not just downplaying the death of your own Canadian citizens, you're downplaying the death of citizens from about 30 different other countries. You say you stand with humanity but you clearly don't stand with any of the nations that had their innocent civilians slaughtered that day. You are choosing to side with one region/culture/people above the 30 that were totally innocent. Why not show some respect to those countries instead of the one region that was responsible for all their deaths. |
How many nationalities have been killed in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the past 77 years...
Why care about nationalities. Every human being is equal regardless of nationality. I don't feel any less regret for a Palestinian, Canadian, Israeli, Ukrainian, Russian or any other life lost.
I'm downplaying the emphasis on Nationalities, which is too close to a colonizer perspective imo. I long for a world without borders, and the most culture shock I had when moving to Canada is the border treatment I got crossing into the USA. Used to simply going anywhere in Europe without even having to stop at the border. Not get my passport confiscated and have to wait in a bunker to get interviewed just to cross into the USA from Canada with a Dutch passport.
1,139 lives were lost on Oct 7 in a most brutal way. Doesn't matter what passports they held. And that doesn't excuse killing more people in even more brutal ways.
And no I don't have respect for countries that condone or even support what Israel is doing. And by Israel I mean those in power. The people on the street have been indoctrinated since birth to hate Palestinians. They didn't start out that way. Same for the fighters in Hamas.
It's a long standing failure of the international community. The UN created / cemented this course of events with the 1948 partition plan and it has only gotten worse since. So bollocks to your one region that was responsible for all their deaths. History didn't start on Oct 7. This particular conflict started in 1897 with the first Zionist congress.
It was clear from the start it would end in genocide:
In 1896, in The Jewish State, Theodor Herzl discussed "important experiments in colonization" concerning Palestine and Argentina as potential territories for a Jewish state. He concluded that gradual infiltration of Jews into such areas was futile and that sovereign rights under a European protectorate were necessary for continued immigration and settlement.
Btw here is my respect for the 243 countries, sovereign territories and island nations I decided to find out more about during the Pandemic.

Including several 'nations' yet to form like Kurdistan, Western Sahara etc.
