Which Australia? Cuz I just saw a compilation of Australian TV hosts and politicians saying Israel is only killing terrorists, and there is no genocide.

Politics, Because Russia is still a global crude oil supplier, any strike damaging their infrastructure would increase global oil prices and Biden can't have that in an election year.

Korea is extremely class conscious and people treat people differently based on perceived wealth. iPhone being considerably expensive than Samsung offerings in Korea is an instant wealth signifier and having an iPhone means you are perceived as upper rich class than those pesky poor Samsung, which is now associated with old people or who couldn't afford an iPhone.

Israel hates hospitals and wants to bomb them. US supports Israel because fuck healthcare.

Before some disingenuous comment about chicken or the egg starts flooding this thread, these people were already refugees due to Israel's action of driving them out of their houses by bombing them in the first place, and then bombing them again in the refugee camp, if that's not a war crime and precedent of next generation of Palestinians hating Israel, I don't know what else is.

Ok, let's agree that humans evolved to become school shooters, but how does abortion play a part in it. Abortion actually eliminates possible school shooters, so it balances it out.

I don't think the war is good by any means but damn, someone came into your home, killed your friends and family and you're not supposed to do a thing about it ? What am I missing here ?

I think you just defined Palestinian position.

Duh. This censoring is why antisemitic conspiracy theories take hold in the first place. I understand moderation, but if you flag any discussion that goes against mainstream narrative as extremist, all that is left is an echo chamber. It's right out of 1984 playbook. I am wondering how long before Lemmy will be called an antisemitic platform for even posting news like that?

Yeah, the law this vague is purposely designed to be abused by the government. German police are already trying Nazi tactics at this point. The pro Palestinian rally at Frankfurt, they literally isolated young people with Palestinian flags, took pictures of people and their ID cards, and suddenly these people now have started getting problems in their schools,universities and jobs, even when they never shared anything political themselves. Germany and Fascism is a story for the ages.

When people say 'cancel culture', they are generally talking out of their ass, but this is what I say is the cancel culture, that someone saying 'war crimes are war crimes, even when allies did them' is somehow so abhorrent that they are sacked. Think about it, war crimes are acceptable but pointing them out is not.

Israeli strikes flatten buildings, mosques in Gaza

Nothing new, Israel has been doing that for decades now.

Removing reddit was better for my mental health, and luckily Lemmy hasn't turned toxic yet.
