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.

I've said this before and I will say it again. This period of time will go down in history as a particularly dark time in human history. The fact that not only is this happening, but efforts to stop it from people with real power to change it is incredibly minimal. The world powers letting this happen is perhaps worse that the Zionists doing it.

I hope this will wake people up that our governments don't work for us and will lead to reform to hold leaders accountable for acting against the will of the people for their personal benefit.

I hope this also kills the centrist obsession with "both sides"-ing every political controversy where people on the left are screaming at the top of their lungs "PLEASE SAVE THEM" and people on the right are screaming "KILL THEM ALL" and then sternly scolding the "please save them" crowd that this isn't the right time and place for that kind of rhetoric and anyways it unnecessarily divides us and gives the "kill them all" people even more power.

But did the boy condemn Hamas before he died?

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That's really rough. The article says he died from a combination of respiratory infection/malnutrition. I bet the respiratory infection was aspiration pneumonia because they were trying to feed him with whatever they could get their hands on due to his cerebral palsy related dysphagia. Ended up just adding to his problems.

Fucking disgusting. I don't get how so many can just be ok with this. Forget your holy war or whatever the fuck it is, these are people and this is barbaric.

I guess once this is all said and done we’ll say never again, but we did that after WWII and here we are trying to tell the victims of genocide in WWII to remember that it’s a bad fucking thing and don’t do it.

Just what the fuck.

The funny part about that is... Isn't Germany supporting this genocide too?

[–] amorpheus@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (3 children)

North Korea has been running dozens of literal concentration camps, but dealing with that has been too inconvenient. And it's only becoming more so as time passes.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, and China, and Myanmar, and it wasn’t my intention to trivialize those - they are anything but. I was more pointing out that the last time this particular group was involved and the reason they’re even on that land at all. The irony of the whole messed up situation.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

Is my country funding North Korean death camps? Suffering is suffering and all of it matters, but when my tax dollars are paying for it, it just hits a bit differently.

Israel through AIPAC is also dumping $100m on this election cycle aimed directly at progressive candidates. Fuck Israel hard. We don't want foreign interference in US elections from Russia, and we don't want it from Israel either. We should have cut those fuckers off ages ago.

Careful lemmy doesnt appreciate "what about ism" it detracts from their flavour of atrocity support.

Support the popular atrocity only dont mention any other.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 5 points 7 months ago

Fuck these genocidal freaks. There is literally no excuse to let this happen...

[–] justdoitlater@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fuck me, i just saw this while taking a 5€ cappucinno and brunching in a preppy coffee shop, and now i think how fucked up this world is.

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's easy to blame yourself for this stuff, but the people that are actually responsible take advantage of that empathy. All we can do is verbally condemn the people responsible and in some cases show action by attending or organizing public protests.

Its equatable to oil companies blaming consumers for plastic waste, oil spills, and fossil fuel emissions.

[–] ReiRose@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Thank you, I needed this reminder.

[–] harderian729@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Israel is the Nazi Germany of the Middle East.

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Israel is worse than that, unfortunately. They are a culmination of Nazi Germany, the colonial British Empire, and the warmongering USA of the last few decades.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Why are people still supporting this stuff? This is just tragic.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

We need to referee to sites that hide content behind cookie walls as paywalls

Reminder that Biden can stop this with one phone call.
