63,633 Reasons to Rethink 'Not Aimed at People'
So let me get this straight: Belgium's foreign minister wants to slap sanctions on Israel, claiming it’s ‘not aimed at Israeli people but to ensure their government respects international law.’ Meanwhile, Gaza’s health ministry reports that since October 7, 2023, a staggering 63,633 Palestinians have been killed and 160,914 injured — with 76 dead in just the last 24 hours, including 12 aid seekers. That's like hitting the world’s largest reset button on empathy while chanting 'Don’t blame the people!' Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where casualties are just unfortunate side effects of a human board game gone grotesquely wrong?

’Not aimed at people’ sounds exactly like a toddler’s excuse when caught smashing the cake and blaming invisible monsters on the wall.
If this ‘not aimed at people’ frame were a movie, it’d be a dark comedy called ‘Oops, We Killed Some Folks — But It’s Were-The-Government’s-Fault’ starring the UN as the forgetful babysitter.
