It seems like if you'd take it's net impact throughout world history and it added it all up, you'd end up in the negatives. Like it's been actively more bad for the human race than good.
Or they're trying to pressure the acting President to change an immoral policy with the threat of lost votes so that he obeys his constituency like he's in a democracy. He's got plenty of time to change course and it's already caused him to make some small measures, like changing his rhetoric and pausing a weapon shipment once.
Right, but there have been settlers in West Bank. They're still Palestinians being harmed. And life in Gaza isn't sunshine and roses for most Palestinians, either.
And the slowly encroaching settler attacks, blockade, and occupation was just what? A special military operation?
You can't be in the left and support the status quo, especially if the status quo is leading to a genocide. Pro-genocide solidarity isn't acceptable. Sitting there and accepting it isn't acceptable.
Exploding heads, too, but everyone defederated from that.
Ya I had a friend just lose a license for 20+. These speeds are crazy.
It's called pressure to force him to make change. He's got plenty of time to not support a genocide before November.
Thanks for the explanation! Was wondering what the hell was going on, too.
I think there was crazy inflation in some countries during the Arab Spring, too. Which also makes it hard to get food.
But with that logic, my friends have the right to go to Italy and Ireland, kick out native Italians and Irish and take their houses, because they're Italian-American or Irish-American. That's not how it works or how it should work. Its the same reason I wouldn't have supported the Liberia project of having African-Americans go back to Africa and kick out and oppress the natives just because they were mistreated in the US, if I was alive at the time. It led to centuries of indigenous oppression and civil wars, like Israel and Palestine nowadays. We shouldn't be looking to imitate that level of colonial superiority anywhere else.
Hopefully they feel vindicated when everyone sanctions Isreal.
It sounds like the opposite. Do you even know what Zionism is? It's calling for a place Jews from all over the world can go via. They bring in people from all over the world, lots of them have dual citizenships. Because Jewish people can trace genealogic origins there from thousands of years ago doesn't make some lady from Europe or New York the same as some local Palestinian kid at all. They then kick out the natives and give their homes to these settlers. They've been doing it since the 40's. People can look over the wall and see where they, their parents, or their grandparents used to live.
I recommend looking up the history of Zionism, including the European Jews that forwarded it, like Theodore Herzl, and the different places they considered for it (Uganda,Argentina, Cyprus, etc) before settling on Palestine.
A map and basic understanding of indigenous resistance.
Wow that's incredible. We're still making such incredible discoveries despite Mars being so close to home.
Damn you were right. Scrolled down a bit and they were all over. Did Hasbara finally find Lemmy, or had there been a new wave of propagandized redditors leaving to come here?
There's nowhere else for Hamas to set up. There's civilians in all of Gaza. It's an extremely densely populated region, even more so now that it's being cleared and destroyed. Second, Hamas was created in response to Israeli aggression that already existed. Surrendering would just bring them to the status quo that inspired the First Intifada, when Palestinians were still being attacked, killed, restricted, oppressed, and their land steadily taken for more than 20 years already. People don't respond well to that and to expect them to sit there and being slowly ethnically cleansed again is unrealistic. The correct take is to oppose Israel and it's settler colonialism.
Why is this post down voted so hard? Is it because it didn't have a link at first?
It's too bad the Pathfinder instance.here on the fediverse isn't still alive. That would've been a great place to cultivate an alternative community outside of Reddit.
