Fun Fact
Govt arms deals are funded through a WCF which allows them to function like a corporation.

@phaseknight_ Hey I'm in recovery for anorex!a with ARFID tendencies. We're like the shittiest matching puzzle pieces.

This staggering graph just published by the United Nations shows the ages of people killed by Israel in Gaza.
The base of this "pyramid" of death are babies and toddlers.
This is not a war, it is a massacre of innocents.
