It’s not like these voters didn’t fucking MAKE LOUD AND CLEAR their intention during the primary with the Undecided movement SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

At this point, this is 100% the Democrats campaign fault for not PANDERING BETTER to the demands of their own god damn base. It’s called a democracy you nitwits, you’re supposed to REPRESENT people.

Edit: this is the POV of a Canadian, seeing Americans throw their democracy away. Democrats made a whole ruckus about how they put country over party, but it seems they could not put country over …CUFI and AIPAC.

Quick, build a pontoon dock or some shit.

They are not treading lightly. They have developed a transactional relationship with the Israeli right, where they get to rebaptise arms sales, domestic islamophobia, and unconditional support for whatever the Israeli right does as a stance against antisemitism. They shamelessly suppress Israeli leftist positions and diaspora jewish leftist positions and call that a stance against antisemitism.

Germany needs to tread lightly indeed, but that can’t be just a blank check to Apartheid Israel. They owe more than one debt, exactly as Namibia has called it out.

If anything, Germany must first establish a national policy of Germany as a safe haven for Jewish people everywhere. If they were serious about their historic debt to their former victims, there should be a right to aliyah to Germany. Get their own shit in order first, then lecture others.

Lol, yea that’s not unbiased. That’s an IDF press release title.

Within …30 days? As in, after the US election? What a joke.

How would you rewrite it, o paragon of impartiality?

This is about an Indian-Canadian being assassinated in Canada by the Indian government.

None of the corruption cases publicly reveal what reading materials the fallen cadres had accessed. But a list of banned titles published by China Digital Times offers some possibilities. The list includes writings on Chinese politics and history, including the Tiananmen Square massacre and the disastrous Mao-era policies that saw millions die from famine, violence, and political purges. There are books scrutinising the modern CCP’s politics and power, or sharing the views of political enemies and critics like Hong Kong tycoon and activist Jimmy Lai, the exiled Tibetan Dalai Lama, and Bo Xilai, the fallen political foe of Xi Jinping. Hillary Clinton’s memoir is on the list, as is Machiavelli’s The Prince, and Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism.

This is the framing of information warfare. There are no facts, no truths, only “narratives” that are deployed by adversarial actors.

In such a framing, it doesn’t matter whether the IDF ordering the displacement of 400k people is legal, legitimate, suspect, in good faith or in furtherance of ethnic cleansing. All that matters is whose narrative dominates the information space.

This framing already gives up on debate. Your response does not refute anything I wrote, does not engage with anything. You just labelled my argument a terrorist narrative and you’re done. You’ve counterbalanced the “narrative”.

But, my brother in Lemmy, even we were to accept that Hamas is saying this for this reason, can’t you see that it’s based on exactly the legitimate fear and reasonable expectation of Palestinian civilians that Israel is NOT a trustworthy, humanitarian actor here? The Hamas propaganda would not have a leg to stand on if it weren’t for 30 years of illegal settlement in the West Bank and for the Israeli governing coalition not being dependent on the fascist right.

Expelling 400k people might be spinned as “getting civilians out of a combat area” if Israel were not a state that systematically settles conquered land (to the tune of 700k settlers in the West Bank) and if its government didn’t have ministers (on whom the ruling coalition depends to stay in power) that are explicitly saying that they want to do exactly this again.

Like, bro, who the fuck do you think is reading these things you write? Umpa Loompas from Jupiter?

Honestly, it’s like a well known organ trafficker is saying trust me bro, I’m putting you in this ice bath and giving you this sedative and prepping these surgery tools because I’m trying to remove a tumor from next to your kidneys.

If it’s dead and in Vietnam it’s Vietcong, amirite?

The Italian defense minister explained it pretty well: https://youtu.be/Ox0AzK7iVe4?si=1D4m8M7B-DIYcBci

There is a UNSC resolution, if Israel has a problem with that, they have to take it up with the UNSC.

This thing they call “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” has as much in common with Marx and Engels’ idea of Communism as a Big Mac has with a plate of hummus.

Edit: western dengists, man.

You know what, that earns him a lot of respect points in my eyes. This is a good king.

Sounds like a regulatable problem.

Because as usual religion can be used to argue for as well as against a political question. The only self coherent framework that has as its logical conclusion Israeli policy is nationalism.

Edit: plus, a nationalist explanatory framework is least susceptible to the moral hazard of anti-Semitism. Israeli policy is not exceptional, it’s as banal as Serbian or Azerbaijani ethnic nationalism, revanchism, jingoism and bigotry.

More like nationalism.

They’re acting like rabid fucking dogs.

If god existed, what the Hind Rajab Foundation does would be exactly god’s work.

In a world where Never Again would mean Never Again For Anyone, this is what the Simon Wiesenthal Centre should be doing as opposed to apartheid and genocide apologia.
