Stories coming out of are harrowing beyond belief. The intensity of the violence, the slaughter, the damage being done. Listening to survivors stories is to witness a total nightmare. This horror must stop.

@didgebaba@c.im avatar

@Loukas The United States, Russia, France, Germany and China represent 76 % of all the total market share. Sweden doesn't even feature in the top 10 of arms exporters. As well most of the Swedish manufacturer is exported.The top 10 destinations for Swedish arms exports are the United States, Brazil, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Germany, India, Norway, France and the Czech Republic. Based om market structure Sweden will source a large percentage of its contracts globally, most with its recent NATO allies.

@Free_Press Netanyahu must be very satisfied- his vision for a regional conflict with Iran is finally coming together.

โ€œLast year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.
"I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.
"I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didnโ€™t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.
"This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable."
-- William Shatner, actor

"Since Hamasโ€™ attack on October 7, Israel has used American bombs in its war in Gaza, which has killed more than 32,000 people โ€” 13,000 of them children โ€” with countless others buried under the rubble, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. Israel is credibly accused of starving the 2 million people who remain, according to the UN special rapporteur on the right to food; a group of charity leaders warns that without adequate aid, hundreds of thousands more will soon likely join the dead."

    @ArneBab morals are always general. Ethics are specific.

    You could add Justice to your vocabulary, too,

    "Justice is the ethical, philosophical idea that people are to be treated impartially, fairly, properly, and reasonably by the law and by arbiters of the law, that laws are to ensure that no harm befalls another, and that, where harm is alleged, a remedial action is taken - both the accuser and the accused receive a morally right consequence merited by their actions (see: due process)." - https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/justice

    @ArneBab unless you are a psychopath one does not choose morality.

    @ArneBab Israel is sliding away from Democracy but it does still have the Rule of Law. Even a cursory examination of how this operates shows that Palestinians are not equal before the law. The current atrocity doesn't even have to be considered to clearly establish this. But the disproportionate and indiscriminate current attacks have now propelled the state of Israel to the level of genocide with intent. This is criminal, but it also endangers the state of Israel. Many Israelis understand this.

    @ArneBab Ethics are what people have. Morals are shared and established a priori.

    didgebaba,
    @didgebaba@c.im avatar

    @ArneBab that's exactly it - people can have different understandings. But Morality is a social, cultural and political code.

    didgebaba,
    @didgebaba@c.im avatar

    @ArneBab it's a generalised claim because morality is general. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-epistemology-a-priori/

    Leak shows pro-Israel lobby chief blaming TikTok for pro-Palestine youth. Now the US is banning the app.

    The Anti Defamation League (ADL) CEO was speaking about the difficulty the colonialists face in controlling the narrative for young people. Greenblatt suggested that the warmongers had been wrongly focusing on left-wingers who sympathise with Palestine:

    "Cause again like weโ€™ve been chasing this left/ right divide. Itโ€™s the wrong game. The real game is the next generation..."
