#War #MentalHealth #Impact

Thank you for this report.
😭😭 I can't help it 😭 seeing these innocent people being killed on bith sides breaks 💔 my heart. Not being able to help gives me anxiety 😭😭
It just seems to me that those drones that the US Navy shot down were intended for another target other than Israel .
They chose their words quite carefully, “heading in the direction of Israel. “
Given how I doubt the Houthi rebels have such long range capabilities, what might they have been really targeting? Or whom ?
And why ?
If " MENTAL HEALTH " is defined as accepting reality without wishing it would stop or wishing it would get better . . . then seeing images of war should help normal humans adapt to reality. (Adapting to reality can also be called " EDUCATION. " ) We are resilient . . . i'm told again and again. That means we can deal with harshness much better than we assumed. Harshness, war, competition, and conflict are part of reality in this world. Trying to whitewash it is a sign of weakness.
Lets talk about the guilt we have for having a good life while adults,children and animals are being tortured. Thats a tough situation.
I've watched the unedited / uncensored videos and I'm fine. I think it's important for people to feel the visceral "pov" experience of the people involved. Same reason I believe everyone who eats meat should be required to watch slaughterhouse videos. "Desensitization" is not watching too much censored footage. Desensitization is blissfully ignoring the reality of fear and pain and suffering and death.
It's a illness brought on by the cognitive dissonance of knowing that the gods do not care. Allah Christ and Jehovah drink the blood of the innocent and feast on the prayers of the broken hearted. They save no one.
Really? Segment about negative mental health implications of war filles with background images of the war? Really?
The following world leaders would like to thank the American Republican party for causing so much confusion among themselves that will gives us opportunity to continue our quest for world communism to be a dream come true.
Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Miguel Díaz-Canel, Ali Khamenei[, Kim Jong Un ,Nicolás Maduro,,, Democrat party,,,
Never understand the fact that why people hate being desensitized so much?
They can't show you the photos of the babies with their heads cut off in Israel.
Thank You, it's been awful, 🌍 in horror, Panic attacks, Tears, adding to the TRAMA I'm already in. Turning off phone doesn't work, Alone and can't control notifications is Heart Wrenching. 🙏💜🗽💔
The hypocrisy and bias of the US, UK, France, Germany of Israeli bombing and aggression is absurd, disgusting and shameful.
The palestinian genocide is being marketed as Israel defending itself.
You will find out later that its just about real estate and ethnic cleansing.
The Iraq war was marketed as fighting terrorism.
We found out later it was all about oil and Money.
Do not be on the wrong side of history.
Every country has the right to defend itself, but starving, & bombing 2.3 million people in Gaza is NOT defense, its MASSACRE.
#Gaza_under_attack 🇵🇸
I sure hope we are not whining about terrorist Palestinian people again,
🙄🙄🙄 And you love showing it! Maybe we should show how to stop it! Why it happens and because of hate
People are evil. We haven't evolved.. not even a little bit.. we are not worthy of reaching our spacefaring potential
As you can plainly see n this channel's video section,, there was no nightly news yesterday. Nothing really important happened anywhere in the world. They probably had a show on their network, but nothing online, which I prefer, as I can't watch the nightly news at the time it is on.
No really!?…you mean seeing death and destruction isn’t good for you?…
No new wars with Trump, two So far with Joe Biden killing children every day.
Religion brings misery to humanity.
