They are sending Gaza back a hundred years,” and argued that the international community is “complicit” in the “extermination” being carried out by Israel

So very true. We’re reacting to the present destruction of Gaza and asking for a ceasefire.

What does the future look like in Gaza? Any financial commitments to rebuild? Even when the bombings finally stop, how does Gaza survive?

[-] wurzelgummidge@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago

They are not supposed to survive.

Regards, Benjamin Netanyahu.

good question, and there are no solutions yet. one thing for sure is israel will not accept hamas existance anymore, nor should anyone with a working moral compass.

[-] fosho@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

seen as how it's abundantly clear that the Israeli govt is also an incredibly terroristic institution, no one with a moral compass should accept their existence either, right?

one thing for sure is the world should not accept IDFs and Netanyahus existence anymore, nor should anyone with a working moral compass.

Alareer, a literature professor with the Islamic University of Gaza, warned us a month ago about how Israel is using “hunger as a weapon of war.” The Gaza Strip is facing major hunger issues as it enters the third month of the war instigated by the October 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people in Israel. “The people of Gaza are dying of hunger,” said Alareer. “We have very little food or water due to Israel’s blockade. This is a systematic extermination – the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s a continuation of the Israeli ethnic cleansing that started over 75 years ago,” referring to the creation of the Israeli state in 1948.

A systematic extermination and an ethnic cleansing supported and facilitated by the USA.

It's not like it's the first. ☹️

War is funny.
WWI started because everyone had to respect their treaties and join their allies into war.
Then WWII started because countries didn't join together from the start.

So, even if we learn from our past mistakes and avoid making them, with war, we can only do worse the next time.

humans developed civilization too quickly for darwinism to adjust

*Natural selection. Darwinism is something else entirely.

[-] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Please enlighten us. What’s the difference? According to Wikipedia, they are one and the same:

Popular Front had a podcast interview with him a month ago, it's insane to hear all of the bombs going on around him even then.

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

And the Dems are already saying they're gonna vote for Genocide Joe again....

Hold your nose, close your eyes, turn off your brain and vote everyone!

[-] Darkncoldbard@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

2 whole sentences to say absolutely nothing.... hope you have better days in the future

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They tell you not to support apartheid and genocide. Very difficult thing to understand indeed.

Biden just vetoed the ceasefire.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Biden just vetoed the ceasefire.

Do you think Biden is in command of Israel's military?

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Of course not. Israel is in charge of America's military.

Also if Biden voted yes then the genocide would have immediately ended.

What's this SpongeBob text supposed to mean

[-] hark@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

"At least he's not trump" is their only response and democrats worked hard to promote fascists like him to make sure that was the only response they'll ever need.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

“At least he’s not trump” is their only response

When it's a binary choice like that, then there's only one option.

[-] yuriy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Almost like a two party political system is intrinsically limited to a “lesser of two evils” situation every single fucking time. Whacky.

[-] doubletwist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Well, like it or not, that's the system we have right now, and so long as it is, by the time the main election comes around, the only options are a) violent overthrow, b) abstain from voting, or c) vote for the least bad option presented.

I don't think we're quite to the point yet where violent overthrow is necessary or justified.

Abstaining just means you accept whatever the outcome is, and thus have no leg to stand on when you don't like the outcome.

In my mind that leaves option c as the only valid option, with the added requirement of working in between elections towards pushing for changes in the voting system.

I don't pretend to be a fan of Biden. But despite his shortcomings, he's still a damn sight better than Trump or RFK Jr. And nobody else running has a snowball's chance in hell, and most of them are crackpots anyway. So until such a time as we have better options, I will continue to vote for the least bad option.

[-] hAhAhNKoReAn@fanaticus.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm sad 😭😭😭 (lol no)

[-] GutsBerserk@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

They call likes of you the "Zio-Nazis". Burn in hell.

[-] hAhAhNKoReAn@fanaticus.social 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not into biblical stuff, my IQ is greater than 20 fortunately

[-] yuriy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

oh shit, you’re above religion? you must be so cool and smart!

[-] hAhAhNKoReAn@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks 😊

[-] rivermonster@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

LOL and you're the new wave of virtue-nazi, celebrating your antisemitism as somehow moral and justified. What a sick fuck.
