If you're willing and able to get arrested for the cause then go assault an oil executive. Maybe light his car on fire. Shut down a pipeline. Block a coal train. Etc. I hate to cricize anymore more committed than I am, but I really think this is counter productive. Attack the actual source of the problem. This is like punching your grandma to stop your dad from hitting your mom.

Any framing to justify the operation has to ignore the many offers to return the hostages and end hostilities that Israel rejected.

I'm not in favor of forcible displacement in general. If people voluntarily bail as a result of losing their privileged position within an ethno state then I'd say that's a much better situation than forcing anyone from their homes. Anyone who's willing to stick around in a state where equality is the goal deserves a chance at peace and reconciliation. Although I'm sure a faction would stick around intending to use terrorism to regain their privilege. That's typically what happens in these situations. Look at the KKK in it's various incarnations

Israeli settlement has destroyed the viability of a two state solution. They have two choices left. Find a way to integrate Palestinians and Jews in a single democratic state or maintain a racist system of ethnic hierarchy where they violently oppress Palestinians. I for one don't like ethno states regardless of which ethnicity the ethno state prefers.

Good luck Argentina. You're going to need it.

Zionists call anything short of unconditional support for Israel and it's far right government an anti-semetic call for genocide of Jews. It's propaganda.

On a related note Cuba legalized gay marriage last year.

I feel like Carl Sagan would have gotten very excited about something like this.

Server owners should be automatically notified if their users are getting banned off other servers so they can decide if they want to ban the account altogether.

I think the ideal way to interface with open registration communities would be to have a registration process where they can access beehaw from that server after they've filled out an application just as we did to be able to join here. I'm not a coder, but I think that wouldn't be too challenging a feature.

I'm not excited about losing access to a bunch of communities on the fediverse. I'm not excited about needing a 2nd account if I want to avoid this. I hope a resolution can be found to roll this back without causing the admins too much pain.

We need non profits who will monetize ethically just enough to sustain the operations. Particularly cooperatives. Social media doesn't need to be profitable. It just needs to exist and serve it's users.

It's a stance that leads to trans people killing themselves.

It looks like this year is going to be a stand out year for bad news on climate change.
