Sanders rips US-backed New Holocaust
FIFY
By the way AOC just voted in favour of a new ADL-backed "antisemitism" definition so I guess she's not a genuinely leftwing humanitarian successor for Sanders.
Ha that was disappointing =(
The left in this country is fucking cooked.
Remember the Berlin Airlift?
I really wish one of these world powers had the balls to tell Israel to go fuck itself and fly aid in anyway.
How different things would be if he had been our president.
His EO's alone would have moved us further forward than any Democrat since LBJ.
But it was a good thing that his candidacy made the Democrats show us who they really are.
Well there's your problem, you still think the United States is a civilized country.
*Added missing word.
You accidentally a word.
Thank. I add word.
Please do not the word.
Egypt is the only way in but I guess they do what Israel says. Ironic given their history.
At this stage Israel controls the Rafah crossing, so Egypt doesn't have a way to send stuff in unless they try to force the issue with military involvement.
And obviously they're dependent on the US for military aid, so if they tried they'd get cut off immediately.
Not exactly ironic; Egypt waged a few flashy wars against Israel but we've been kowtowing to them for at least two decades. Egypt is the Arab state most complicit in Israel's atrocities against Palestinians.

You say that like Egypt is not another country that's dominated by the US. The "Arabs" they rose up and took back control of their country in 2011 only to have it taken away from them again in a US supported coup, thanks Obama! Would Egyptians themselves support the genocide like we know most Israelis do?
Would Egyptians themselves support the genocide like we know most Israelis do?
Absolutely not, but Egypt the state is still very much in bed with Israel. Also do you have a source for US support for the coup?
Yes, the unwillingness to condemn and the ongoing support of the US for the despot that took away Egyptians' democracy.
What I got from the article was some marginal complicity rather than June 2013 being a full-fledged US-supported coup. The US should've taken and should take a harsher stance against the Egyptian military junta, but that's one thing and the US being implicated in the coup is another.
I’m talking way back

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
