Israel is seriously losing the plot. And possibly it’s grasp on reality.
Don’t they have a super right-wing government right now? This kind of frothing at the mouth sure sounds like it.

I mean, I do understand him saying: “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians, because it will be counterproductive in the long term”.
But what he should really be saying is “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians because that’s fucking evil”.
How did we get to this position where no leaders of the West will stand up and call this out for what it is?
I understand it’s a complex situation, but treating an entire people like they’re subhuman is morally unacceptable. And I can’t fucking believe that the sodding Israelis - of all people - don’t know this.
Honestly, in this post-truth world … I don’t believe a freaking word of it …
Man, if I could upvote this comment more than once I would.
Expresses my sentiments exactly.
I visited Israel years ago - shortly after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin - and remember coming across a class (girls, around 7-8 years old) out on a school trip … and they had 3 guys carrying assault rifles to protect them. And I remember thinking: “whatever it is you’re fighting for … isn’t worth it if you have to live like this”
And sadly I think it’s only got worse since that time.
Interesting how little mention there is of lemmy/kibn/the fediverse in these articles about Reddit’s demise.
Jesus. We’re fucked.
Greggs.
Interesting. I noticed an uptick in pro-Reddit comments that just didn’t feel “real” around the time of the blackout.
Most Reddit users are fairly irreverent so it felt really odd to see comments “toeing the company line” so obviously. At the time I just assumed they were Reddit bots/astroturfing, but tbh I didn’t really expect any better from Reddit at that point. One of the many reasons I’m here now!
Interesting to see my assumptions were correct!
Good grief.
I’ve been a developer for nearly 30 years, started my IT degree when I was 24. No, you’re not too old to start!
This can’t be true.
I’m not American but does 6th grade mean about 11?
No shit, Sherlock.
