Anger Over Starvation in Gaza Leaves Israel Increasingly Isolated
(www.nytimes.com)
Good. Fuck 'em.
One day, everyone will have always been against this.
NYT is complicit in that starvation.
As Eddie Izzard said about WWII: “after a few years, we won’t stand for any of that”
This is an illusion, the west still sending arms to israel
This will be held against all Jews for centuries.
Holy books in many religions get editted from time to time. Perhaps its time to consider some edits? Among some problematic parts I'd note the calls for genocide of certain people, religious commandments that "chosen" people should hold themselves as distinct from others and treat them differently, and statements that certain lands belong to them and them alone. Religious books arent a reasonable basis for land sharing or ownership.
At the end of the day these are just pages in books with ideas in them. Ideas some dusty old misanthropic guy penned thousands of years ago when civilization was different. The ideas arent working well for anyone these days, so how about we just change those so they are compatible with our current realities? Why are we all just -- stuck -- with ancient ideas that cause massive, massive problems?
Heck, while we have the pen out lets fix all the parts that oppress women? Anyone disagree with that? Would human rights and equality for all be taking it too far? If so, why?
I hold it against right-wing nationalists who, in this case, happen to be Jews. But I despise all right-wing nationalists regardless of religion or ethnicity.
That’s not fair to a lot of Jews that have nothing to do or don’t want this. This should solely be on Bibi and the ring-wing coalition, and the soldiers that are killing civilians for sport.
This has nothing do with a right wing coalition or Netanyahu alone. The majority of Jewish Israelis want the genocide, have been part of the IDF at some point or support what the IDF does, and they want Zionism.
But Zionism still does not equate Judaism so the premise that Jews are responsible for what the Zionist settlers do is malicious and just tries to frame everyone who is against genocide, apartheid and settler colonialism as antisemite.
Yeah, I think you lose the right to be called your preferred name when you start genocide people, one bad Apple spoils the whole bunch
'Should' and 'will' aren't even close. I agree we should only hold those responsible to task, but people will take things too far.
Similarly, Israel should recognize Palestinian sovereignty, but will suffer continuous attacks because it refuses to.

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.
