What about food? Or do you only grow your own radishes watered only by the rain and your own piss, like that guy from The Good Place?

I’ve heard Irish people say they support Palestine for similar reasons. They didn’t go through an apartheid, but they went through oppressive colonization being done on them.

Context matters. If she says abortion is bad, it deserves to be reported, and is, while abortion policy is actively being dismantled - because she is a lawmaker in the party actively working towards that (and in power for one of the legislatures).

Just like this guy’s words matter while it’s being supported by other people like Ben-Givir and while they’re actively in the process of doing genocide stuff.

Woah you escalated that quickly. Breathe. You guys were having a reasonable discussion that was enjoyable for me to read until you pulled out the insults and curses for some reason.

Anywhere else… I think the point is to say that they should’ve figured it out. They had warning and opportunity to leave, even when they didn’t. The Nazis played the same strategy.

Same as Trump. Or debates on Fox News. Classic angry right-wing yelling lol.

Top tier edit lol

Here’s one story from last time about them being misled when sent to Martha’s Vineyard.

Detailing “how its clients were induced to board airplanes and cross state lines under false pretenses,” the legal aid group said that only after the planes landed did the immigrants “learn that the offers of assistance had all been a ruse to exploit them for political purposes.”

Basically they were told they were being helped or sent to one place where they have a hearing scheduled, or that their hearing was moved, then they’d be sent to whatever city instead.

Anyone have any idea why there’s been so many migrants lately? What’s been going on in South America?

Lol true, I should’ve said authoritarian or tyrannical.

In what way did he not do an insurrection? They’re just trying to get laws and rulings to apply to Democrats but not Republicans now?

Republicans are insane right now. They’re going full fascist. I don’t know what else you call it when they so blatantly ignore the rule of law to disrupt the peaceful transition of power to stay in power.

I find Reddit way more toxic, especially post the purge from the lack of apps. It’s like their moderation ranked or something. It’s probably different in smaller pages, but I’ve found the front page over there is way worse than Lemmy nowadays in terms of quality of conversation.

So Israel can displace the whole population of Palestine? That’s genocide. You’re pro genocide.

They need to shout about these efforts more. And I’d like to see actionable results and not just endless studies. The Democrats have always been terrible at messaging. Probably because all the media is corporate owned.

Hello from. Ttrpg.network!

Let me know when you see Republicans try any. I haven’t seen it during my lifetime, but hey, there’s always this time 🙄

Obviously

I’ve always found the religion excuse to be a scapegoat, an excuse to not try for peace. The fact is that people care about a lot of other stuff above religion, including food, shelter, water, quality of life, self-determination, hope, etc. The Palestinians would 100% make peace if they can have those things. People with differing religions live in the US, the UK, and all sorts of places. Hell, they lived fine together in that same area during the Ottoman Empire and before. There are even plenty of Christian Palestinians, too.

Sure there’s a lot of animosity now, but I bet in one generation of living together, they’d be mostly fine. Just look at the differences between the Civil rights in the 60’s, where you had various violent black liberation groups, Malcolm X saying the rift could never be healed and black people should make their own place in Africa, etc. And then there’s the 70’s and 80’s, where you started having the black friend in every movie, to today, where we had a black President. It’s not perfect, even now, but way better than the Palestinians in Gaza. Just let the kids go to school together for a few years lol.

Now there is a couple religious issues that will need to ironed out, but that’s where a strong, neutral hand is required. And i think a one state solution even helps some of those. Such as with a one-state solution, everyone gets Jerusalem and shares it. With a two state solution, you have to do this weird thing where ostensibly no one gets it, even though Israel has all the power over it.

Right now, they want mutually exclusive things in that Israel wants all the land and Palestinians want to live in the place they’ve lived for generations, as well as food, water, etc. Palestinians will shout from the river to the sea, but they’ve shown willingness to settle for a 2 state solution plenty of times before. On the other hand, Israel has no reason to similarly bend. But, if Israel didn’t have so much power because of the US, their position probably wouldn’t be so inflexible. They couldn’t afford to be, and then maybe we’d see some compromise.

I agree that the US would probably hurt more than help, though.

I’d love to see this tried in a court of law some day.

“Look judge, people kill each other all the time. I don’t know why we’re making such a big deal out of this. Geeeesh. Bunch of whiners.”

Anyway, people criticize the US for this stuff all the time. The whole idea of the left is to learn from and evolve and grow past those horrible roots.
