Glad to see the most moral army in the world keeping true to his name.
Must be one of those “humanitarian safe zones” I’ve heard so much about!
The West supporting Nazis all over the world, as it has always done.
Detainees rounded up from their houses, including several women, under the watchful eyes of regular army soldiers and carabinieri supported by Blackshirts.

Unfortunately for the detainees, Mussolini’s orders were quite specific; notwithstanding the fact that most of them were being held in locations not capable of sustaining them for more than 24 hours, his instructions were clear: ‘No persons arrested are to be released without my order.’ That meant that—at least until further notice—the vast majority of them would have to remain in detention.
The conditions inside these makeshift detention camps were indeed indescribable, and a significant proportion of the prisoners did not survive. In a telegram to Paris on 24 February, M. Bodard reported that ‘Apart from chiefs and notables, more than 3,000 Ethiopians have been arrested and crammed into small enclosures’, noting that they included women and children, as well as ‘numerous injured’. He added that by that date around 1,000 executions of these captives had been carried out.65

All with the complete backing of the west. It’s probably giving them warm nostalgic feelings.
A picture’s worth a thousand words.
I’m legit not trying to victim shame. But whenever I see these sorts of pictures, I always ask myself why someone would willingly walk into that pit.
I know it’s hopeless either way, and they are trying to prolong their life a little bit. And hey, they might not be standing on a future mass grave, right? But if I ever saw that pit, I would rather die in a futile escape attempt than enter it. At least then the bastards would have to carry my body themselves.

One of the last of a tribe that is almost extinct actually. But thanks for the quality reply.
Sorry
It’s okay. But I want to say that it’s nothing about race. Everyone is different. Many of my brethren chose to die free than submit to a reservation. My ancestors of course were not those people. I just don’t personally understand it, and it’s obvious to me that a lot of people in Palestine refuse to submit as well.
My grandma used to say “when strong winds come by, you have to get down, when it passes you then you can do what you want” sometimes you need to submit and be humiliated to survive there’s nothing these people could do at this moment if they run away they’re either going to get shot or get chased by dogs then what? Nothing changes nothing is gained, but if they follow their orders and get abused then stay alive afterwards they can join a resistance group or do something meaningful.
I get that. But walking into that pit feels a whole lot like digging your own grave to me. What is that pit even doing there, if not a future mass grave?
what else can you do when they point a gun at you
Going into the pit and being executed doesn’t sound that much better to me, tbh.
its whatever it takes to live to the next moment
yeah, that’s about all I could come up with. I was just wondering if anyone had further insight, but it doesn’t look like it. I suppose I just spent too much of my life wishing for death to really understand it. (am trans)
So am I, but I myself want to live to see myself for what I want to be
Also, just want to say that apparently I’m rubbing some people the wrong way here (maybe you even), but it’s nice to be able to have a civil conversation anyway, and just take a few downvotes instead of getting raked over the coals every time I post and eventually banned. =)
Peace be with you. I’m tired, a bit depressed, and I spent 6 hours writing posts for my comm today. I just want to go have a few drinks and go to bed, so I’m going to abandon this conversation. Sorry if I offended anyone with my lack of understanding.
peace be with you!
I can relate to that NOW, but I lived over 30 years in a body I hated. It definitely shaped some thought patterns for me. I still don’t think I would feel right about walking into a big pit surrounded by men with guns.
How do you know there aren’t even more dead people off camera somewhere?
