Consider this: climate change is being accelerated at a time when we are overdue to reduce it and what we are getting out of it is plagiarism and wrong answers.

Lemmy.world is compromised. I avoid the big communities there.

Israel is a plight on humanity

They are US libertarians. They should be anti war and anti government but they really aren’t.

By Jesus time Palestinians already shifted to speaking Aramaic. If he were alive today he'd be speaking Arabic.

Judas just kissed somebody else that looked like Jesus

This is what Muslims actually believe. Jesus wasn't crucified but a lookalike was.

He ended up dying in Japan.

Not this bit though.

Is this directed at Haaretz or moi? Haaretz has its sources and has a history of being credible despite being Israeli.

If you want additional sources here are a couple:

Arabs have those 👃 features too 😤

The PFLP is one of many Palestinian resistance groups. This is not Hamas. The PFLP is secular and it was established by George Habash a Christian Palestinian.

By definition you cannot be more Catholic than the Pope.

I don’t understand why Elon chose to go mask off. He could have continued pretending to be a sane if eccentric person. I am glad he did but I don’t understand the motives.

Remember when the Simpsons had Lisa sing his praises?

Israeli rape culture is real. As always they accuse the Palestinians of what they are guilty of.

The screenshot that was posted a week or so ago was faked. This poll isn’t and the results are actually worse than the fake poll.

Yes, talks about a second Nakba went mainstream a couple of years before the attack.

So ignoring intelligence on a coming attack was intentional.

It exposes the troll and bot accounts that just downvote while having zero posts.

I support this. I want to know who keeps downvoting my posts. They just need to allow a way to ban them from the community without needing to comment first.

Yes. Nationalism is unnatural. Middle Eastern cities for the longest of times hosted people from diverse backgrounds. Even the tiny little Gaza has churches from different Christian sects that stood for centuries until Israel bombed them.

Every Arab country has some religious or ethnic or linguistic minority. Even Saudi Arabia has indigenous people who don’t speak Arabic, Faifi is one indigenous Semitic language spoken. And it also has religious minorities that aren’t Sunni Muslims. Saudi Arabia is not an ethnostate, all the diverse people are equally Saudi but it does privilege Najdis and Najdi culture.

Israelis are only good at killing civilians. They can’t defeat an armed resistance so they take it out on women and children.

The region has been cursed by the worst invaders since the Mongols.

For the same reason blockchain was hyped for a while.

They can't help but take a hit at MENA countries. Who destabilized them? They never mention that; and as if your human rights track record is any better, just different. They also never mention that the US is the biggest producer of oil.

I only use Windows 11 because it came preinstalled on the latest laptop I bought. Otherwise I have been a Linux user for over 15 years and will switch back sooner or later. Microsoft is making their products the immoral choice and I do recommend boycotting them.

Yet another Trump lie.

History has the tendency to repeat itself.

He is promoting the pogroms

“If Blinken and the US administration would have liked this war to be over, this war would be over. Continuing to supply Israel with weapons and to beg Israel to stop the war is quite a farce. This is not international relations, this is a children’s game.” – Gideon Levy, Haaretz

But this report is by the New York Federal Reserve

A great deal of energy, hardware and software went into providing that wrong answer.

To answer your question on why the US supports Israel unconditionally:

1. Christian Zionism and end-world apocalypticism, while this may not be the main reason it is the most obvious and manifests most obviously in the Republican Party.
2. AIPAC money. Biden has received $4,223,143 from pro-Israel donors throughout his career.
3. Israels serves a geopolitical interest in a region critical for international trade and energy. It is an outpost of US imperialism, an unsinkable aircraft carrier and an intelligence and surveillance hub.
4. Israel does the dirty work that would be unpalatable to US voters but serves US interests. Such as supporting the apartheid in South Africa, the Guatemalan genocide and the Rwandan genocide. In the past it was easy to dismiss any criticism of Israel as antisemitism or blood libel, giving them a blank check to act with impunity.

Though I disagree on your assessment that Hamas isn't any better. When was Hamas guilty of a genocide? Hamas on multiple occasions was willing to accept a 2-state solution on 1967 borders. From the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative to their 2017 charter. Israel never accepted any peace and rejected any possibility of a Palestinian state. Instead expanded its settlements and evictions in the West Bank, and put Gaza in a blockade since 2007.

They did another documentary years prior on the 737 NG, equally damning.

“If Blinken and the US administration would have liked this war to be over, this war would be over. Continuing to supply Israel with weapons and to beg Israel to stop the war is quite a farce. This is not international relations, this is a children’s game.” – Gideon Levy, Haaretz

Your vile ad hominem attacks just confirm your tacit racism against Palestinians and their supporters. I am not wasting time with a bigot. Read, reread then reread once more what Gideon Levy said. Biden, Blinken, Harris and the Democrats had 10 months to stop it and purposefully chose not to. They are guilty of the genocide and deserve no vote.

Here you go: https://archive.ph/8Alhs

FYI: you can use archive.ph or archive.is, they usually work with most paywalls.

It is simple, if the Democrats want the votes they stop the genocide, if they don't stop the genocide they get no votes. Maybe if they lose the next time around they would be more willing to listen and acknowledge our grievances. But to accept the genocide just because the genocider is a Democrat is not an option.

The way I see it: conservatives will always support the genocide, but liberals will only support it if a Democratic president was complicit. We need to make it costly to support even if the president was Democratic.

The way to send a clear message is to vote Uncommitted or third party -but not RFK Jr.-. Not voting is the wrong way to go about it, and voting Republican sends the wrong message of supporting the genocide. The Democrats need to know that they lost votes because of their genocidal tendencies.

Cows not horses. Peninsular Arabs are some of the few populations on Earth with the mutation that allows for lactose tolerance among adults. It developed over millennia of having nothing else to consume.
