People need to remember Netantahu wants Trump in power, so is going to make decisions that are good optics for Trump when he can. He similarly made decisions that are bad optics for Biden on purpose. While Biden did himself no favors, never forget Netanyahu is the one who put him in that position.
I’m just going to link this article:

Henry Kissinger did something similar to delay the end of the Vietnam war, in order to get Nixon elected.
So they’re admitting that Trump, a private citizen, interfered with US foreign policy, which is yet another crime.
Just like when Nixon sabotaged the Paris peace talks, or when Reagan betrayed the American hostages in Iran.
I would like to remind people this conflict is decades and decades old, it’s not a democrat thing, or republican thing. America has supported this genocide for over 50 years. The democrats and republicans of now will surely, if unfortunately, continue.
While true, I’m over 50 and have never seen such mechanized destruction in my lifetime. And yes, now I’m woke to the fact that my country has supported this shit the whole time.
More like 3000 years+. The entire region has been fucked up forever. They just have had someone else to blame for the last 70 years.
Yes, the region has been in conflict for far longer then a century. I’m talking about the country of isreal, as its less then 125 years old. Zionism is the part that wants the genocide of palastine for the new state of isreal, which started a bit over 100 years ago and america has been a long supporter of.
The whole world was at war for most of history. Also, among others:
Ptolemaic rule brought stability and economic prosperity to the region.[120][121]
The Byzantine era was a time of great prosperity and cultural flourishing in Palestine.[181]

You sure got him…
Does it count as ending the genocide if he helps Israel kill all the remaining Palestinians so there are none left to genocide? 🤔
Well, it ended, didn’t it?
…are we counting “no Palestinians left” as the end of the genocide? 😬
One can hope.
Other than hoping, I am donating a few bucks to the most pro-Palestinian politicians.
I have been looking for protests but they are hard to learn about.
Sometimes you’re happy to be proven wrong
I’ll be honest, I thought it would get worse and not better. I would love to be wrong.
Either way the meltdown will be funny so I’m here for it.
Oh it’s still quite likely that one side or the other will break the ceasefire and then it’ll get worse

Sadly there are too much Anti-western actors interested in it being perceived as genocide, no matter what’s happening on the ground. With billions of Qatari/IRGC/Putin/CCP money it can be easy to spread a narrative, especially against the only state that is Jewish
And kudos for combating “the poplar” narrative, I used to argue quite a lot about politics a year ago back on kbin, but after a bunch of the same discussions and buzzwords lost motivation to do it
Wow. Just universally equating all Arabs to one another. So, to you, there’s no difference whatsoever between individual Arabs, they all believe and act exactly the same, all over the world? Doesn’t matter who specifically did the things you’re claiming, they’re all guilty?
Quite possibly the most blatantly racist comment I’ve seen to date on Lemmy. And you have the audacity to call out others here.
I hope you do some serious introspection before speaking on this topic again.
You sound like the kind of guy who wipes back-to-front.
I’m honestly confused. What on Earth does the way you wipe your ass imply? And how do you know that?
If you have a vagina, back to front is a one way ticket to UTItown.
It’s just a terminally online way of calling someone stupid. Don’t think too hard about it.
shame on you.
No U
Your hasbara saves me from having to check the modlog for why you’re banned from .ml for a year.
And then there is the rest of the Fediverse thinking this squabble between. World and. Ml is fucking retarded
*stupid, please avoid ableism when you can.
Nah that sounds retarded
Every single word which has been used to refer to a mentally disabled person will, eventually, become a slur.
“Idiot” and “moron” used to be technical medical terms. There actually used to be a whole spectrum, with “idiot” being a pretty profound level of disability, meaning that someone’s mental age was around two years old or younger.
“Retarded” was a new invention, to introduce a new term which didn’t overlap with the slurs for a non-disabled person who was being stupid. Eventually, it came to be used as a slur, at which point we couldn’t used it for actually disabled people anymore. This cycle will repeat, I think, without end.
Probably the best thing to do is use terms which are too cumbersome to easily become slurs. “Mentally disabled” is one.
Real talk, how is stupid any less ableist than retard? Same meaning, same origin. It’s like telling people to stop calling black people n-words, call them coons instead. Pretty silly imo!
Stupid is a behavior, an action.
Rtrded is an outdated way to describe a permanent mental/learning disability.
Generally it’s best to make fun of things people do choicefully, not things they were born with. It’s also best not to make fun of people by suggesting they have a permanent condition that real people are dealing with. (Especially using outdated language to do so, from when even less respect was paid to the people who had that disability)
Stupid is the lower end of normal intelligence variation, retarded implies a developmental or other condition outside of the normal variation.
Stupid doesn’t refer to a disability, retarded does. That’s how stupid is less ableist.
I don’t know if I completely agree with the R-word being now not acceptable as much as the N-word.
But I believe the reason behind it is ‘stupid’ is and always has been general term for anyone and always has been.
‘Retard’ was actually used as a medical term for a class of people that had cognitive issues outside of their control. And while a good majority of people have re-used the word to general mean ‘stupid’ over the years with no intention to imply said person you are saying that to actually has ‘cognitive issues’ outside of their control.
I believe that’s why its derogatory now, but yeah… language is always changing.
