  • Every large social platform has groups of people who hate each other, even lemmy. They just all have ways to keep only showing people the posts from groups they support (through defederation and only looking at specific communities, or twitter/youtube/tiktok/facebook’s algorithms, etc)








  • Their linked sources talk about Siemens providing traffic infrastructure for Isreali-only roads through the West Bank and transit lines that pass through parts of the West Bank.

    Honestly it seems like their sources have put in a lot more effort than they have, they sometimes mention the most trivial things when obviously bad (and internationally illegal) things are simultaneously being done that these companies support they don’t even mention.


  • Disappointed to see both Alstom and Siemens on the list, I guess I’ll have to get my trains from Stadler from now on.

    On an unrelated note, it seems Intel is only on the list because they operate in large part there and are making a new fab (with some support from government grants), but it’s inside the area that Isreal has had internationally recognized as its territory since 1949. Honestly I’m surprised that was all they could find on them - Isreal is known for its computerized surveillance systems and I’m sure a lot of it is powered (or has been in the past) by Intel CPUs.









  • The IDF has killed 11 thousand men, 9 thousand women, and 14 thousand children, making 34 thousand total killed (an unknown number of which were civilians). Hamas has killed 0.6 thousand military personnel and 0.8 thousand civilians, making 1.4 thousand total killed (57% of which were civilians).

    The number of children killed by Isreal (only children) is 17 times larger than the number of civilians killed by Hamas. Of course that doesn’t make killing civilians OK, but I struggle to see an argument that Hamas is worse than the IDF. And if Hamas is the only method by which Palestine can defend itself, then there is a solid argument to be made for it being the lesser evil.
