In the end, some people voted for Gaza Trump Tower. And some people didn’t vote to stop it.
Trump is full of shit.
There's no other place for the Palestinians to go.
Egypt and Jordan aren't going to take Palestinians from Gaza, so all of his talk is just bluster meant to appeal to Israeli right wingers.
Does anyone remember what fueled many of the Al Qaeda operatives hate for America? It had nothing to do with the brutal suppression of Palestinians, right? ...right?
Trump is just saying the quiet part loud. The Democrats aren't any different. The last 15 months of genocide proves this.
Americans need to face facts, your country is a bloodthirsty empire that steals the resources, freedoms and conspires against oppressed people.
No alternative but to leave, OK great so which country is going to give up their land so the Palestinians can have a big enough place to call their own country?
So beyond fighting about what happened in 2024… What are you going to do about it?
Are you calling your senators? Representatives? Federal level? State level? Governor?
Even if you live in a red state, you can be annoying. Leave voicemails. Ask for call backs. Write letters. Blue state - better. Cmon, they’re spineless. Shout louder than everyone else.
Then look for local issues. Local manifestations of fascism that are small enough for you to do something about. Show up to city council and school board (there have been lots of efforts to overtake these smaller bodies too.) Community organizing for Palestine could also be community organizing for addressing attacks on the homeless, women’s autonomy, etc.
god damn the liberal smugness in this thread is revolting
you’re seeing a fucking genocide being orchestrated right before your eyes and all you can think of is "well at least I voted for the slightly less worse party" ???
go fuck yourselves
Fuck yourself sideways with your indignation. We warned you over and over what would happen. You want to clutch your pearls now? Your personal stupidity, obstinance and bigotry is turning what was a horrible apartheid into an ethnic cleansing. This is YOUR fault.
Well good news for you, we have the seeds of literal genocide at home too! Aren't you proud of yourself
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
