but I’m curious how you expect Gazans to sing peace’s praises

I don’t, I only answered your question (“How is UNRWA perpetuating anything?”). Most of which was quoted from an article I linked.

I’m not the original poster you originally replied to. I actually agree with what you say about Israel perpetuating the conflict too, probably more. But UNRWA is undeniably doing its part too.

They teach antisemitism and terrorism.

I’ve found this article that talks about it (among some other reasons), though I’ve also seen it on other sites.

A recent report by the watchdog group IMPACT-se highlighted that UNRWA’s educational materials, based on the Palestinian Authority (PA) curriculum, contain antisemitic content and celebrate violence and martyrdom-jihadist culture.

UNRWA has a significant position in educating almost 545,000 Palestinian children across the Middle East.

The IMPACT-se report examined educational materials used in UNRWA schools, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, where the PA curriculum is adopted.

The PA curriculum, which has been under scrutiny since its 2016 revision, is found to contain – like it did before its revision – antisemitic content and the promotion of violence, jihad, and ‘martyrdom’ culture, while omitting teachings of peace and coexistence. UNRWA, while not producing its own curriculum, supplements the host country’s curriculum with additional materials. Despite pledges to counter-act calls for violence by UNRWA, the report found a disturbing failure to do so.

More than 80 UNRWA teachers and staff across more than 30 schools have been caught distributing hateful content in their textbooks.

According to UN Watch: “Teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”

Probably american-based like the other commenter says. The American left is the global center-right iirc.

Not surprising, given they were the only ones serious about advertising. We got so many leaflets from them at work and home and I even saw them on Reddit, yet nothing at all on those distribution channels from any other parties. I’ve seen some billboards by others, but it feels like 80% of the ones I’ve seen were SVP.

I personally hate them and didn’t vote for them, but I don’t think it’s surprising they have such a big following.

What do you mean with broken? Seems to be working fine for me.

If you mean it opens an error page, you probably left the thread open for too long. Upvoting and boosting does bring me to an error page if I do it after walking away from my pc and coming back. But a refresh fixes that.

I got a response from them on Reddit:

We didn’t know which platform would take off, and we were nervous that because Kbin and Lemmy are so similar one platform might shut down in some sort of consolidation down the road. Also when we made them, each had very serious drawbacks for our media (Lemmy needs a lot of clicking to access the media, while kbin turned any media that wasn’t in a 3:4 aspect ratio into a funhouse mirror.) So each of us took a community and somewhere down the line we’ll re-evaluate.

they are blocked in Australia, UK, Ireland, Iran and Afghanistan

Seems to be blocked for a friend from the philippines too iirc. Combined with other replies saying they can access it from some of these, I assume that list is outdated.

I can’t post someone else’s book on my website and charge 5 bucks to read it.

No, but you can read someone else’s book and then later write a book inspired by theirs and sell that.

Which is what ai does, as far as I know.

I’m not trying to argue with the rest of your comment, but that middle part looks like false equivalency to me. “I can do this but not that, so why would ai developers be allowed to do this completely different thing” just has no logic to it.

The AI isn’t redistributing copies of even sections of the book, it just learnt from it. It’s like when you read books and gain an understanding of how they are structured and such and then you write your own book based on what you’ve learnt from reading books.

That’s how it was on Reddit, and idk about lemmy, but given you’re a kbin user too: the kbin upvote is actually a like button. It’s called “favorite”. You use boost for your use case.

Boost is Mastodon’s version of Twitter’s retweets. It acts as the upvote here, but that’s an oversight and going to be changed.

Not sure what boost actually does on kbin other than acting as an upvote though, I just use it as an equivalent to saving a post on Reddit. Maybe it’s connected to follows.
