Take that sentence, replace Israel with Nazi Germany or apartheid South Africa, if you still don't see an issue go get fucking institutionalized
No idea what they had said, but they deleted and slunk back into the shadows.
Turns out, surprisingly, people keep their fucking mouth shut and keep their rotting opinions to themselves when the public pushes back.
Imagine if we never had social media safe-spaces and everyone, everywhere had to face the full repercussions of their ideas online from the broad majority of the world instead of their select communities that support any brainless, heartless idea they have. We would be exploring the galaxy already.
As Lemmy has problems keeping posts deleted for good with the federated system, you can oftentimes copy and paste the content of deleted comments.
I click the reply button and it shows the deleted/removed comment.
if we didn't have that, we would just have an incredible amount of echo chambers, each with their own ideology on their own little crusade to dominate shit.
It would certainly be nice if everyone could get along. It would certainly be nice.
Israel is also a genocidal maniac, every country except the United States already knows this, every international body knows this, and yet I come here and see shit takes like this
There's defending yourself, and then there are war crimes. The government of Israel has stepped so far beyond the line that someone would have to either be supporting their crusade or burying their head in the sand to think they're not genocidal maniacs.
We have:
I'm sure there's plenty more that I missed, too.
Sadly, it's not just the US. Too many states are stuck in Israel defaultism.
And all the starving and maimed and killed children in Gaza are/were of course Hamas, right?
Honestly, Netanyahu is building the future of Hamas, because any who survive this slaughter will never forget it. Even the families of the hostages have called for a ceasefire, but Israel would rather kill the Israeli hostages than free them.
Yeah because Israel is somehow even fucking worse than them. Immediately after becoming a state they start to oppress the palestinians, then they fund and support hamas untill they get a reason to level the Gaza strip.
Voicing support of an apartheid settler state doing an ethnic cleansing should rightfully get you boo'd out of whatever room you're standing in. I fail to see the problem here.
Because Israel is bad and supporting Israel is bad.
In many cases it seems like a bait when it's put about their gazan policies. The situation in itself is unique and complicated, but Israel didn't seem to even try to help it for how long this Strip exists. And right now it's hard to tell what they aim at but making living there unbearable, so they'd refuge from what originally started as a refugee camp. Is that the only way? Probably not, but either way it doesn't seem like Israel is struggling with whatever it is doing.
i'm not sure how unique this is, though in the modern era, this is certainly a unique event. But going back through human history, covering religion, and the various empires that rose and fell from grace. I'm not sure how unusual it would've been to see this level of war.
