This is right on the money, and it makes me proud of my fellow musicians. But isn't it a sad commentary on the general state of social media that common human decency, as displayed in this thread, feels kind of special and rare?

Oh, that example, I totally agree. I was fixated on "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." Strangely, commas don't work in that one.

Israeli military rescues four hostages alive from Gaza, including Noa Argamani in c/world@lemmy.world

Maybe for the same reason that Hamas fires rockets into Israeli territory all the time, or pledges to kill as many jews as they can.

Regional tension has been going on for far longer than that, but Hamas is the elected government currently in Gaza. They began the current fighting. End of story.

There was a ceasefire on Oct. 6. Then Hamas and other Palestinian fighters started the present conflict in Gaza on Oct.7. I won't recount how because Lemmy doesn't like to hear when what they perceive to be a victim group commits unthinkable atrocities. But then they took these hostages back into Gaza, and hid them in tunnels under civilian infrastructure. This is fact. Hamas started the present war, but everyone only blames Israel. I believe this qualifies as what you call victim blaming bullshit.
