@KarunaX@xs4me2 Countries who bully a smaller neighbour by invading it unjustifiably and break the global rule of law should face the consequences of their actions.
With actions like there and the settlers policies supported by his far right government, Netanyahu has done the damage that lead to the current disaster. High time he resigned.
A separate Palestine state is needed and nothing else. Without the Islamist rule of Hamas, that simply will suppress its Palestine citizens.

I got sucked in by Google when their search was the best but now I'm trying to wean myself off it. I've dumped Facebook and Xitter and at some point I'll dump Reddit for Lemmy.
Before the vote, the former Democratic speaker, Nancy Pelosi, made a stridently graphic appeal: “I hope our colleagues will choose democracy and decency rather than autocracy and evil because I fear if you choose the Putin route, you will have blood on your hands, blood of the children, blood of their mothers raped in front of their parents, raped in front of their children,” she said.
Half of GOP did not…never forget. They have blood on their hands.
The KGB manipulated Trump with simple flattery. “In terms of his personality, the guy is not a complicated cookie,” he said, “his most important characteristics being low intellect coupled with hyperinflated vanity. This makes him a dream for an experienced recruiter.”
Trump is a Russian asset, we can see it in his actions.
Timothy Snyder is a professor of history at Yale University. He is the author of The Road to Unfreedom: Russia, Europe, America.
How it already went wrong in the 90s:
"I think it’s better to say that democracy is a better system than it is to say that it’s inevitable, because once you say that it’s inevitable, you’re forgetting all the things that you have to do or struggle for in order for democracy to come into being"
@xs4me2 ik hoop dat mensen vooral ook de media steunen door een abonnement af te nemen bij een van de opinie bladen/tijdschriften die onderzoek doen en zich kritisch uiten over zaken die mis gaan of dreigen re gaan.
Inderdaad. En dat de kritische journalistiek hier een impuls door krijgt, want het mag wel wat meer. Speciaal in deze populistische wereld. Teveel onzin wordt voor zoete koek geslikt…
Real Ukrainians have died, Russia has gained ground, all for the politics of Republicans.
Truly sickening. Mike Johnson did singularly obstruct the military aid because he refused to allow a vote on it. It would have passed 3 months earlier with an overwhelming Bipartisan support.
The House Insurrection Caucus threatened his Speakership in fealty to traitor tRUMP.
Think of it, Margorie Traitor Green & Massey-assey threatened Johnson's Speakership & he caved.
