It’s a built-in feature of internet groups that they are bad at producing messages and leaders for a wider audience. The dynamics of facebook groups and internet forums reward preaching to the choir and punishes compromises, both with opposition, moderates and reality.
Leadership of my country has been calling for a ceasefire and reduction of violence since the beginning. Great to see that we’re lumped in with the Americans regardless.
It is possible to condemn both this attack and the embassy strike, just as it is possible to find the October 7 attack an appalling act of barbarism without wanting kids killed in retaliation
Sadly we all decided to collectively ignored israel killing kids for 75 years
No. We haven’t. That’s the point. But there’s a limit to what a small country can achieve from the other side of Europe. The Irish are the prime example they’ve always stood up for Palestine it just doesn’t make enough of a difference. They don’t deserve to be lumped in with the Americans just because they aren’t powerful.
I disagree with the premise that standing up for Palestine means you have to always and in every instance act against Israel. This isn’t a fight to the death where only one side can survive and shouldn’t be framed that way.
So by your logic, because I disapprove of massacring people dancing at a music festival I am now a Nazi, and you consider my murder to be a good? Is that your pitch?
Do you believe in justified massacres more broadly too? Would Sahrawis slaughtering Moroccan settlers or Kypriots killing Turkish settlers also be good things?
Who is the arbiter of when there is an “active ongoing genocide”? Who do you trust with the authority to kill and cripple entire populations? What happens when the Israelis are defenseless and the Palestinians come for revenge? Will that be a genocide? Should they be killed and crippled too?

The problem here is that you’re competing with tourists sleeping four to a room and you just can’t outbid them for apartments, even with high wages. The solution here is to set aside properties for resident locals so that they aren’t forced to.

Nobody’s forcing farmers to buy seeds. Seed sellers are asking farmers to pay if they want their seeds.
Farmers could grow their own seeds and use those. It’s just that nobody does because buying highly productive cultivars is more profitable for them, even after they’ve shared that extra income with seed producers.

The European model used to be empowering the public broadcaster to collect a TV licensing fee, but is now moving to direct tax payer subsidy because internet streaming made that too easy to circumvent
It was a very good system. Collecting it’s own fees added a degree of separation between government and public broadcaster and protected it’s independence.
