Yeah, I see denouncing and illustrating terrorist attacks as a good thing.

Palestine isn't a state. It never became it state. It never has been a state.

Palestinians knew who they were when they elected them.

Getting rid of misinformation is great.

Getting rid of accurately reported, gruesome images because of a government mandate flies in the face of the core principles of free speech. And it would cause real damage to the world.

Remember that it was only when the world actually saw images of the Nazi concentration camps that the world actually believed it. They'd heard about it for years, but it was largely ignored.

We have a lot of nightmare scenarios in the future: Trump wins, Trump loses and we get insurrection part II, Biden wins and we don't take the house and keep the Senate, and we have at least 2 more years of gridlock while our lives continue to get shittier, etc etc.

The true tragedy is that there isn't even a good outcome in the mix. Biden wins and Democrats take Congress. Fine, will they fix the courts? Fix student loans? Will they even try for universal healthcare? Universal Basic Income? Anything even close to meeting the moment?

So depressing.

Anyway, vote Biden so at least we don't wind up in a fascist dictatorship.

Sorry, but the UN's anti-Israel bias is extremely well documented. They've earned my skepticism and yours.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Again, the sources are suspect. The UN has been widely, absurdly anti-Israel to an absolutely comical extent.

According to who?

You have to take these stories with a grain of salt.

Do you remember the Jenin massacre?

Do you remember all the awful things that the Israelis did? It was horrific.

... Except ...

It never happened. The Palestinians lied about it.

Israel has never targeted civilians. Palestinians have always targeted civilians.

Hamas uses civilians as meat shields.

When people like you take INTENT out of the equation, your just doing Hamas's bidding.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

At last count, Hamas had something like a 75 percent approval rating in Gaza.

The support among all Palestinians is just over 50 percent.

Only 14 percent support the opposition party.

Israel's right-wing government is becoming anti-democratic, and their position on settlements is antagonistic.

But Hamas is pro-genocide, happily murders Jewish children, and use their own children as meat shields.

It bothers me that people equate these two.

They aren't the same.

I feel sorry for these folks. They have no idea what's about to happen.
