- austin-cheney 2mo agoGood to know our US law makers continue to give Israel billions of dollars to advance ethnic cleansing forthwith.

- baranul 2mo agoThe scary thing is that if they can so easily turn a blind eye to funding another country's obvious crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing, that they can do so domestically as well. Many would argue that the domestic infrastructure to perpetuate such is being rapidly stood up.

- thisislife2 2mo agoI don't fully agree with this as I've found that The Guardian highlights the plights of the Palestinian more than any other English newspapers. But yeah, in general, most English newspapers have been Israeli apologists (with the BBC being the absolute worst during this genocide), towing their government's line that many Palestinian organisation (like Hamas) and freedom fighters as terrorists. (It's ironic that American political history says that citizens have a right to guns as they may need to stand up to a tyrant government one day, but when the Palestinians pick up guns to fight for their freedom, they are suddenly "terrorists" for the same Americans).
- Sabinus 2mo agoTargeting civilians for hostage taking and otherwise is terrorism. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Sure, they are freedom fighters, but they are terrorists.
- hoytschermerhrn 2mo agoHow many civilians were taken hostage and how many civilians were killed in retaliation? That ratio may offer clues to shifting global sentiments.
- thisislife2 2mo agoOne man's "freedom fighter" is indeed another man's "terrorist". My point was that by accepting Israel's position that the Palestinian freedom fighters are "terrorists" western media shows their bias. (Note that only a few countries in the west actually consider PLO or now Hamas a terrorist organisation - the majority of the world doesn't). For someone who has chosen violet politics to fight for his freedom, what makes one a "good" freedom fighter or a "bad" freedom fighter? Isn't taking Israelis hostage better than killing them? When Israel is a military state (as it requires nearly every citizen to compulsorily serve in the military) are Palestinians who use violence, actually using it against civilians or soldiers? (In such a scenario, the only true "civilians" are the children).

- thisislife2 2mo agoCriticising Israel because the actions of its (right-wing religious fundamentalist) government is not anti-semitism. Nor is empathising with the horrific plights of the Palestinians at the hands of some Israeli settlers, police or IDF soldiers.
- throw304732 2mo agoFrom The Guardian: > About 2 million Palestinians who survived Israel’s war of annihilation… There were about 2 million people in Gaza before the war. So if the aim of this war was “annihilation”, is Israel just really bad at killing people?
