Thanks for the better article. Still wild how little restraint Israel is showing, even if this wasn’t retribution. Though don’t think they are above such things.

The choices at this point are a flawed one state uniting two bodies, or one state with a successful ethnic cleansing. Two state solution has been taken off the table by illegal settlements of the west bank and, soon, Gaza.

The old fascist tactic of accusing the other side of the things you’re guilty of.

Really telling on yourself here! Would be funny if you weren’t so sad.

It’s not that straightforward. Copyright is different in that infringement is only enforced by rightsholders through litigation. That means they hato find you, sue you, and make a convincing argument that your backup is harming their market viability.

On that last point, some personal backup is unlikely to be found to be infringing. It’s more problematic if it’s something shared or done in a significant scale.

This “failed state” Palestine would be the most free they have been in the better part of a century. Having a right of return, protections from illegal settlers, representation in the UN etc. The last free election in Gaza was also a narrow win for Hamas, and stability of statehood would be quite deradicalizing

Hell, even just control over their own electric, water, and internet access would be a game changer for Gaza.

You can maybe have a Gaza state, but Israel has destroyed any hope of a united west bank that could be meaningfully called a state. Unless they also returned all stolen land, but those illegal settlers are the most extreme.

Israel has no incentive to stop. Even cutting funding won’t. They’ve made so much headway in their genocide they want to finish and set up their new canal through Gaza to rival Suez. (Surprise surprise another colonial asset to defend next time they want to do a massacre).

There needs to be a massive surge of BDS and frankly nations sending peacekeeping troops willing to check IDF aggression while rebuilding.

I’d like the name to be “community feed” and “feeds” for short. Reddit was always essentially a collective rss with voting weights. In this way “subs” would still work since one subscribes to the feeds.

Ultimately it’s something the devs need to encourage though

Santa has a history of, regardless of naughtyness, giving more and better gifts to children of those with capital. Not only that, he excludes people based on a religion litmus test.

Santa could end scarcity, but won’t.

Thousands of Palestinians held without trial for years.

Tens of thousands dead Palestinians, most of which children.

Many more displaced, being pushed out of Gaza to be refugees.

For months, they have been denied food, water, electricity, and Internet.

Meanwhile,

Israel uses AI to find 100s if targets daily, using drones and aircrafts. No boots on the ground. Billions in international aid. The people living life largely uninterrupted. Settlers getting more and more “free” land.

Can you piece together why the focus is on Israel?

Horseshit, don’t equate this with collateral damage. The difference is nations generally minimize civilian death, not make it the sole purpose of the offense. It wouldn’t be a war crime otherwise.

A study covered by Ha’aretz: the civilian deaths account for 61% of deaths from air strikes in Gaza.

This makes the Gaza slaughter more fatal to civilians than any other conflict in the entire 20th Century. The century that included many genocides and both world wars.

As an american jew, hostages don’t justify genocide. Never again means never again.

They’ve already killed more Palestinian civilians than Russians did Ukrainian civilians. In one month.

A few hostages vs killing hundreds of children. Wonder why there is a discrepancy, also, what is a moral compas?

Don’t you see how your knee jerk defense of anything Israel does as encouraging them to do war crimes?

I swear, you lot would defend nukes if there was a 50/50 shot of getting a child of a hamas member.

If one side can turn off the other sides water and communications at will…it’s not a war. Hamas is a fractured and opportunistic militia, without enough sovereignty to actually govern.

To also highlight, half of Palestinians are undrr 20 years old, so at most 4 years old when Hamas was elected. Hamas supporters also represented about 45% of the votes, compared to the 42% voting for the progressive party. They spoke for half of a mostly dead generation, and have since been left holding the bag as the only defense force as palestine is fractured by illegal settlments and bombed to hell.

I really struggle to see what leverage Hamas gains by fudging their numbers. It feels like a talking point to reduce the fatality count.

This number, half this number, quarter this number… the political reality is the same. Murmurs of condemnation while the US keeps the money pump going, Israel keeps commiting war crimes, and Palestine shrinks into nothing.

Hope you remember in 20 years you were posting genocide denial rhetoric in your free time and feel ashamed. Same points used un many other genocides.

Zero evidence, and portrays how little you know about the organization. Nice knee jerk against defending human rights though

To be more precise it is anti-US-imperialism and hegemony, which itself is a fine sentiment but when you’re willing to let any right wing dictator lead that fight you’ve really lost any credibility as a leftist.
