Ah yes, because we've all forgotten that time 3 Jewish hostages with their hands up, shirts off, and waving a white flag, were gunned down by Israel's military.

What does "surrender" mean when the current occupiers are killing everything that moves?

They are all puppets to the lord and savior called "Profits". Don't think about anything else, follow the money trail.

Skeletor out.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Not just money, but definitely including money.

I get he's cheering on genocide, but what is this guy even thinking?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 15 points 11 months ago

It seems he’s thinking of genocide, which, like Isn’treal, America was founded on.

I am SO tired of this shit. "Waaah you aren't condemning Hamas hard enough!!!" My god just shut the fuck up already. I can't tell anymore which ones of these people are just stupid and which ones are being disingenuous. I swear to god these people will accuse anyone of antisemitism if they aren't starting every single fucking sentence with an "I condemn Hamas" disclaimer.

I think they need to add check boxes to all future UN resolutions just to keep America happy.

□ we condemn Hamas

□ we condemn the act of terror on October 7th

Can we pass a meaningful resolution now please

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 6 points 11 months ago

No because according to so many Isreal supporters and their government UN is just hamas

Israel exposed the values of the US regime to the whole world. Nobody outside the west will ever buy the western narrative about championing human rights ever again.

[–] Mir@programming.dev 20 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

No one outside the west did before

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately a lot of us did, but we are wising up now. The war in Ukraine and Palestine happening so close to one another allowed us to have on tape western leaders contradicting themselves.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Surprising amounts of people outside the west actually looked favorably on the western liberal model. Western support for Israel is making it impossible to do now though.

This escalation also finally radicalized some of my lib friends to be leftists lol. Even some of the libs are starting to develop common sense.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Turns out there is a limit to the kinds of atrocities that even liberals are willing to support.

[–] somename@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Well, a lot of liberals in the west aren’t committed diehard supporters. They just grow and develop in the context of the society around them, and take a lot of the norms uncritically. But with the right pushes, things can change. As they slowly see the contradictions of the liberal society around them, sometimes people realize the lies.

A Monty Python skit where a narrator would ask Israelis how many Hamas they could see in a still shots of natural scenery...

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

This man had his son dress up as Zelensky for Halloween instead of Spider-man or something any normal kid would want to be. He's clearly in his own little world.

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago

Blinken is an idiot but he doesn’t know it. It is just us suffering from his idiocy.

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

lol noone cares loser

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 9 points 11 months ago

Bitch, the rest of the world is more likely to send them defence packages with Iron Dome than to tell them to lay down to be genocided by the Israelis.

Nobody is left to support Israel besides the US. Read the room.

[–] Juice@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

Blinken gaslights other countries for not believing flimsy justification condoning genocide

[–] autotldr@lemmings.world 3 points 11 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A vote on the resolution was pushed for a third time this week as countries work to bring the US – one of the five permanent members on the council with the power to sink a deal with a veto – on board.

The delay underscored the Biden administration’s hesitancy to sign onto a resolution that could be interpreted as a rebuke of Israel’s continuing military campaign against Hamas in Gaza.

The US has vetoed previous measures at the UNSC and voted against a call for a ceasefire in the larger UN General Assembly earlier this month.

But the mounting civilian death toll in Gaza from Israel’s response has prompted top US officials, including President Joe Biden, to urge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take more meaningful steps to protect innocent lives while waging his war against Hamas.

The secretary acknowledged “the last couple of months have been gut-wrenching when you see the suffering of men, women, and especially children in Gaza,” and the administration, he said, has focused on “doing everything possible to minimize the harm to those who are caught in a crossfire of Hamas’ making.”

CNN’s Becky Anderson, Michael Williams, Kevin Liptak and Jennifer Deaton contributed to this report.
