“If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes. It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away.” -Rep. Ocasio-Cortez
@ifnotnowboston Hamas not only attempted genocide against Israel, they’re doing the same to their people they’re supposed to represent and protect as their government. Using human shields and neutral places to attack and organize to further increase casualties.
While the UN obsesses over every detail of what Israel does while ignoring the greater atrocities committed by a laundry list of authoritarian shit holes, it demonstrates a complete lack of morality or legitimacy. SCOTUS is on its way to being similarly illegitimate.
‘Hamas alone is employing starvation as a weapon of war. Hamas knows enemies of Israel will blame the Jewish state for hungry Gazans, helping push Israel to end the war, thus allowing Hamas to survive. Hamas’s strategy seems to be working, as Biden and other Western leaders use all manner of excuses—first fake death statistics, now “starvation”—to increase pressure on Israel to discontinue destroying the barbaric terrorist group.’
‘If Borrell is not a liar, then he lacks any moral clarity whatsoever. It seems that he does not even know what starvation-induced extermination actually looks like. Despite being ostensibly tasked with foreign affairs, he appears not to have seen the heartbreaking images from Sudan, where Islamist militias are demanding slaves in exchange for food. Some 250,000 Sudanese children are dying of hunger at the whim of the barbarians. Their parents must kneel before these monsters and hand over their children to an unthinkable slavery. But not a word is heard about them.
Palestinians need new political culture to achieve peace - The Jerusalem Post
I think this is an interesting idea. As I’ve said before, Gaza hasn’t had an election in like 20 years. If they embraced democracy, rule of law, and international human rights, then Gaza could easily become a legitimate state. https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/article-792776
@skaly I mean you’re on to something real as well. Logic can only be complete or consistent, not both. Complete logic would lead to senseless things like true being false
Egypt readies for incoming Palestinian refugees, and the costs - opinion - The Jerusalem Post
It’s pretty fucked up that not a single country in the world is willing to accept even one Arab refugee from Gaza. Not a single soul. How racist is that? https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-792595
@TonyStark these shitheads think the president is a dictator. Have we as a society gotten less informed and intelligent over time? I was hoping it was the other way around. Maybe it’s all the long COVID making society dumber.
@TonyStark gotta wonder how many people are fake profiles or people influenced by the propaganda behind fake profiles (aka “Russian trolls” and that sort of thing) versus how many had these delusions as preexisting conditions.
@TonyStark that’s how I feel as well. I suspect they’re a loud minority who barely if at all participate in politics anyways. I can tell from simple facts like how few people come to vote in various types of elections
‘Since Oct. 7, Jews have been in constant grief. But I have not only been grieving for the hundreds of souls we lost. I am grieving for my beliefs, which have now been shattered. I am grieving for the political home I thought I had. I am grieving for the betrayal of those who were never really my allies.
I now see that it is unsafe for me to align with anyone who says “by any means necessary” because they may consider my death to be a necessary means.
It is a strange feeling to be politically homeless, after years of feeling pride in “resistance.” It’s like waking up on an island with no ship in sight. And if the only ship that showed up was a Democratic Socialist ship, I would be stranded forever.’ https://www.jns.org/as-a-zionist/
This is so funny. The Zionists have made themselves so unwelcome to #mastodon mods via excessive reports that they've had to make their own, meaningless, reporting system.
Privacy tip: When you sell or trade-in a vehicle, remember to erase all of your data from the in-car electronics. The car dealerships will NOT do this, although they should be required to.
This wasn’t done for the last few vehicles I’ve purchased. I know one previous owners name, where she lives, what her taste in music is, where her dad lives (and how often she visited him), and what restaurants she often went to. In the wrong hands, this is dangerous as hell.
@janeadams@megahertz one time, my rental car was maxed out with existing Bluetooth pairings, so I had to spend several minutes deleting like a hundred fucking phones
