— 🇺🇸/🇮🇶 NEW: Nearly two decades later, photographs of the 'Haditha massacre' by U.S. Marines have been released. In November 2005, Marines killed 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians in retaliation for a roadside bomb that killed a Marine, misrepresenting the events as casualties from the bomb or crossfire.
U.S. Officials claimed they withheld the photos out of respect for the victims' families, but survivors Khalid Salman Raseef and Khalid Jamal gathered support from 17 relatives to petition for their release. Journalists from The New Yorker, working with these families, obtained the photos.
U.S. Marines did not spare anyone, even a 3-year-old girl, marking her face with a number in red Sharpie.
WARNING: The images are graphic and may be disturbing to some viewers.

If I had a dollar for every time the U.S. said we're going to attack Israel, I'd probably have more than $20 dollars.
To be fair, they kept saying 'Russia will invade Ukraine' and me and my friends were calling bullshit but then it really happened.
