    It’s more efficient if they’d post the names and addresses. Cut out the middleman and get those letters of sincere appreciation where they’re needed.

    I’m a veteran suffering from PTSD. It’s horrible, I wouldn’t wish anyone to have it.

    The IDF however, are genocidal fascists and the world would be a better place if they did end their own life. So write them a card saying “you’re a horrible person and no one will ever love you, just do it already”

    I have PTSD from an abusive ex which encouraged my suicide. it’s rough, had flashbacks a couple months ago and it was a nightmare.

    they don’t get to call what they have “PTSD”, they are the criminals who destroyed so many lives and are likely still proud of that.

    One of the worst things about stuff like this is that it’s essentially accurate. There’s a long and well-documented history of veterans suffering crippling trauma from slaughtering people.

    Obviously, the people being tortured and killed are, by far, the most victimized in this scenario. Still, the people being raised on propaganda and compelled by law to murder peaceful people are also being used and harmed.

    I understand that this propaganda piece isn’t mostly about that. It’s about using suffering to exploit people’s sense of empathy into promoting an otherwise unconscionable geopolitical agenda.

    This isn’t exclusive to Israel either. It’s a long-standing tradition of organized violence that’s at least thousands of years old. I don’t know what else to say about this phenomenon except that most of us probably agree that it needs to stop, and that whatever group is doing the most killing is most in the wrong. I regret that I don’t have a good solution. Historically, anything less than violent rebellion doesn’t work. Sometimes even that fails.

      The murderers of children can get sympathy when they stand up for the children in Gaza that still live.
