This is not entirely accurate. For most of history Jews were tolerated in the region, but even then they were systematically discriminated against through the legal system that would for instance not allow a Jew to testify against a Muslim in court or subject jews and other minorities to taxes not levied on Muslims.
By the late 19th and early 20th century the Muslim world began engaging in the same sort of anti-semitism and pogroms that had mostly been limited to Europe prior. This did largely have its roots in the European influence on Middle Eastern nations but nevertheless the rise in anti-semitism(for lack of a better word since most parties are semitic) in the middle east predated the formation of Isreal in 1948.
It is certainly true that this discrimination was less than they faced in Europe for most of the history of the middle east, but being better than that is a very low bar.
I do not think you understand how bad this is going to get for Palestinians in Gaza. Hamas has just perpetrated the worst terrorist attack in Isreals history.
From everything I am reading these are not just retaliatory strikes. Isreal is preparing for a full offensive on Gaza involving tanks, artillery and infantry. This could very well end with Gaza looking like Grozny, Mariupol, or Bakhmut.
I hope that doesn't happen, but if Hamas cared at all about the Palestinian people they would do everything in their power to avoid that. Unfortunately they only care about power and I think this is going to get very ugly in the next phase of the war.
Contact Isreal and negotiate a surrender that would involve at minimum releasing all hostages and turning over any and all war criminals involved in the planning and execution of the massacres.
That is not something Hamas would ever consider though so we are just in the realms of fantasy at this point.
Hello friends! Is there a lemmy community for roguelikes? I am, in this case, looking for a place focused on more traditional roguelikes (DCSS, CCDDA, BROGUE, etc)...
I love Elona. I enjoy dcss and Nethack and all of the traditional roguelikes that get tossed around, but I really wish there were more that focused on exploration and roleplaying like Elona does.
You may enjoy caves of qud. It is probably the closest to Elona of all the roguelikes I have played. There was one time where I got an item that allowed me to turn inanimate objects into a sentient companion. I accidentally cast it on a stone wall only for the wall to come to life and start following me around. It was incredibly handy when exploring dungeons since I could just swap places with it to block a door or corridor. The whole game is full of weird stuff like that.
From what I have read it was about the difficulty moderating such a large userbase which is perfectly reasonable. The great thing about Lemmy is that anyone who disagrees can start their own server and run it however they want.
