Yes, i actaully didn't know about this.

I suppose that's one of the reasons why the Namibian president rebuked Germany for it's stance on Israel in South Africa's genocide case against Israel.

Yes, but many posters have been telling other posters and mods on lemmy.world that mediabiasfactcheck site shouldn't even be a consideration when checking for media bias.

The mods know this, most users probably know this, but they still punish you for not using that method.

One openly zionazi user even unbelievably and unironically said that mediabiasfactcheck is the gold standard.

So if the mods and admins at lemmy.world don't care or change then most users definitely won't.

Every time you think these Israeli terrorists can't get any worse they prove to the world that they can reach a new depraved low

No one is denying that south africa has a corruption problem. But that doesn't mean that SA's stance against israel on the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians is because Russia or China told us so.

You're conflating the two issues. There is absolute disgust and anger at the israelis and absolute empathy towards the Palestinians because we went through the same brutalisation and dehumanisation by a racist radicalised minority government that the Palestinians are going through right now.

I would say that the Palestinians are actually subjected to worse than what south africans were subjected to. And that's really saying something, because we know how awful apartheid was and how much brutalisation we were subject to during apartheid.

I think you're ignoring that the south african government ( minus the DA and and their allies) and the people of south africa support the palestinians because we recognise exactly what an apartheid oppressor state looks like, and we recognise israel as being an apartheid oppresssor.

Aparheid wasn't that long ago that we've forgotten what it was like. We're still living through the repercussions of it, and will be for many years to come. We know the palestinian people are living through the same. And when they're free of the israeli apartheid inflicted on them they'll have to live with the repercussions of that for many generations.

It's empathy that south africa is feeling.

Right. Because south africa has absolutely no agency of our own, right? We can't do anything worthwhile without european or white masters /s

I suppose the colonial mindset hasn't left all south africans

Yes. I believe the Israelis dug a tunnel when they built the hospital too

I have a theory that downpunxx insane takes are to make other anti palestinian posters seem more moderate, and therefore have what they say more likely to be accepted.

Why can't there be Jewish Palestinians?

This is Egypt's reasoning as well. The US and Israel want Egypt to accept all the Palestinians in exchange for Israel opening and not bombing the border crossing.

Egypt said no, they have to allow humanitarian aid into south Gaza, and stop the bombing in south Gaza. And only dual citizens are allowed to leave.

South Gaza is where Israel said the Palestinians should evacuate to. Note that Israel is bombing north and south Gaza.

Israel is refusing. They want all the Palestinians out of their land.

I mean, this is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing. Israel is commiting ethnic cleansing and genocide for everyone to see. They're not even being subtle about it in the language they've used at press conferences.

The US, European Union countries and their allies are willing accomplices to ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are absolutely complicit in the murder of Palestinian men, women and children.

Will any of them be denounced by the International criminal court? Are they going to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and the others for clearly commiting war crimes?

We all know the answer to that.

Edit: if Palestinians leave Gaza they would never be allowed to return. Israel will annexe that land like they've done with Palestinian land countless times before. And it will become the new normal to pretend that the land was always part of Israel.

It's crazy and scary at the same time how many countries are shifting towards right wing or outright fascist governments.
