minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-21•11 months agoYes it is. Might as well start an invasion of half the middle east if inaction is the same thing as active murder.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink27•11 months agoWhen a government is informed that people are dying within its waters, and the gov has the capability to respond but deliberately chooses not to because the victims are “african”, you think that the government bears no responsibity for their deaths?

The paramedics are in the area and available, but refuse to take you to the hospital. You are left to die on the street. You think you deserve such foul treatment?
