In response to charges of genocide committed by Israelis on the Gaza Strip, Israel has decided to publicly release the most disturbing footage of attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians. One purported to be the extraction of a baby from the womb of its dead mother and left to dangle on its umbilical cord. We’ve already heard about the beheading of children.

Please don’t post that stuff here.

Agreed. Last two links I shared were strictly political talking points. I have personally seen enough death online with this conflict. I am beginning to feel mentally drained and tired from it all. 

I told my wife to stop bothering with me at home about it. I was already on that train a week ago. Trying to stay off of it now. I don't know how the hell these men and women in the military have done it forever. 

Only a beast can kill without feeling. I can see why so many people come back from combat completely [BLEEP] up, mentally destroyed and exhausted with so many issues with PTSD.

That [BLEEP] is heartbreaking. There's a sense of nobility to it but there's also a sense of severe sadness. Nobody should have to go through this. Nobody. I truly feel sorry for the innocent civilians on both sides caught in this [BLEEP] but man, it's tough, very, very tough. 

More power to those that can go through that and come back home somewhat functional. It's brutal. I remember being a kid, somehow I ended up going down that rabbit hole of faces of death and I saw that Nick Berg video. It bothered me for a week. I was seeing floating heads in my dreams. 

I have since seen far worse. There's a website called YNC. Stay away from it if you can. There's truly wicked [BLEEP] out there. Especially south of our border. Those Cartels do things to people that make this War look like a brisk walk in the park.
