Why does Ukraine need permission from other countries to defend itself but Israel gets to do genocide and murder all journalists while giving everyone else the finger?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Because Palestine doesn't have nuclear weapons.
Because you're an antisemite if you don't approve of whatever the fuck Israel wants to do, including genocide, rape, murder, incest etc. Israelis are teh gods chosen people, so they can do no wrong/s
Fuck Israel and everything they're currently doing! If that makes me an antisemite, then I am an antisemite, and I'll wear that badge with honour, because there is no fucking excuse for genocide. No excuse!!
Rightfully criticizing Israel and the crimes committed in its name (also including settler violence etc) doesn't make you an antisemite.
Claiming Jews are evil because of that, ignoring those protesting against their government's actions, or voicing their opinion in diaspora, would be though.
It’s not that fine a line though, one can get on the wrong side in so many different ways. Today pro genocide stuff is mixed up in many messages that can otherwise be wholesome.
For example: the daily pictures on masterdon about Holocaust victims. Good , yes. Where are the daily Palestinian images ? Once one starts asking questions, one can easily start to accidentally stray off the path of the righteous and get into morally ambiguous muck.
That’s one problem with widely supported crimes, it’s not just the evil people who passively support bad things. When there is an undercurrent of pro genocide, many babies get thrown out with many bathwaters. And that is bad.
It makes it worse when there are more zionist Christians than Zionist Jews in the USA, and to see that minority of Jews in the USA unite in crime with people who do not like them is heart attack inducing .
The whole thing is a mess and maybe the only way to fight it is redefining boundaries
They are doing incest?
Because the weapons are locked down and likely need be individually unlocked by the Country's in question. Also Palestine isn't likely to start using nukes and kicking off f ww3.
“But I’m le tired”
Welllll, take a nap
THEN FIRE ZE MISSELZ
well... take a nap... then fire ze missiles!
Hell yeah
Le SCALP, motherfuckers!
How much do you have to pay for that license? Damn licensing agreements always screwing people over
Turns out you never actually own the missile
It’s okay I was just going to send it right back as soon as I got it.
That’s one strong general
France shouldn't be surprised when Russian weapons are aimed at France.
