It's most probably feelings from your nerves, that you are re-interpreting as coming from inside your brain. Kind of like how headaches sometimes feel as if they are in the middle of your brain.

@Dr_Cog

There were also horrific war crimes in WW2, including the bombing of civilians. War crimes are war crimes no matter who commits them.

I don't think it's really an appropriate comparison to make, but since you are making it, approximately 0.4% to 0.6% of Germans were killed by bombing in WW2.

The death toll in Gaza is already at 0.75% of the population, and growing.

a lot of them died in the interest of stopping them.

You are conflating innocent people with armed forces in this sentence. My point was that it is not the same "them".

@Sina no mother would, and under normal circumstances neither would medical staff. As the article states, staff were pleading for help.

These babies were in an Intensive Care unit. Most were premature babies who were supposed to be in incubators. They are vulnerable and need to be kept warm, may be tube fed or require oxygen. It's difficult for parents, who usually cannot be there all the time.

It is more likely that the mothers were unable to get to the ICU. We do not yet know how many died trying.

@CaptnNMorgan yeah I'm happy to be agnostic on it. Ironically though, him acting unaware of his cult's behaviour probably is a big part of what makes him a bad person.

I just liked this article because I thought Jill Goldston's life sounds super interesting.
