What's your definition of terror tactics?

davepleasebehave ,

So would you agree that Israel as an ethno colonialist state uses these tactics?

davepleasebehave ,

so is there any real reason to worry about wether Hamas is a terror organisation?

Was the ANC a terror organisation?

Was the IRA a terror organisation?

Was the American revolution a terror organisation?

perhaps the label has no meaning.

Let's condemn killings if civilians. let's also be realistic about the situation. the people of Gaza have no choice about who is occupying them.

davepleasebehave ,

that feels like not was quite some time ago.

davepleasebehave ,

surprisingly, there were people there even before the Jews. they are not some indigenous population that sprung from the soil.

davepleasebehave ,

you said that if we cared about historical things then the Jews would be the first. it was this statement that prompted my reply.

davepleasebehave ,

I suppose that would depend on how you define Palestinians. but the point remains.

davepleasebehave ,

there was also a group already in the area referred to as the Philistines. a young David is rumoured to have killed Goliath.

davepleasebehave ,

they want a new government. it's not about the genocide. they generally support the genocide.

davepleasebehave ,

it's difficult to choose your colonizer.

excuse to post some sopranos

davepleasebehave ,

that should help clear the rubble in Gaza.

davepleasebehave ,

so right wing these days.

davepleasebehave ,

Seems they have not denounced the genocide.

davepleasebehave ,

does.not sound like they denounced the genocide of a population. it sounds like they are just unhappy with the way the war is going.

davepleasebehave ,

Imagine asking everyone to denounce Hamas for the last 6 months but being unable to denounce a genocide?

davepleasebehave , (edited )

or you could just be under the age of 10 and be bombed in Gaza for a vote you were not even alive to take part in.

One side gets collectively punished. the other side wrings theirs hands together.

davepleasebehave ,

whether people voted for something or not does.not matter if there is collective punishment happening. One side is being collectively punished for being Hammas. the other side refuse to condemn the genocide they are perpetrating. They have the exact government they wanted.

davepleasebehave ,

why are they not calling for an end to the genocide?

davepleasebehave ,

I don't hear anything specific about the genocide. let's face it,.most of the country is more than happy to collectively punish and genocide the people of Gaza.

Maybe you can show me a large scale Israeli protest against the genocide

davepleasebehave ,

so do you have any large scale anti genocide movements in Israel? because they certainly exist outside.

davepleasebehave ,

I would suggest that the Christian Europeans have been much worse to Jewish people over the years. the Palestinians have a valid reason to be annoyed that they have to be displaced.

davepleasebehave ,

it makes it easier for the allies to continue to support the apartheid state.

It also makes Israel somehow look like a victim.

It also helps move the narrative away from the man made famine that is being used as collective punishment.

All of these things are useful to Bibi.

davepleasebehave ,

Could this be the turning point?

No.

davepleasebehave ,

what’s the best way to show my disgust?

I usually love Eurovision. But obviously need to register my disgust this year.

davepleasebehave ,

you make some good points. It’s scandalous that Israel be allowed to participate to be honest. genocide does seem to go against some of the spirit of the show.

davepleasebehave ,

I would imagine the negative comments matter. some people might not understand the situation. there might be a lot of protest on the night and it might help contextualise it for some people.

davepleasebehave ,

keep fighting the power buddy! good work

davepleasebehave ,

I think there is a tremendous amount of luck involved in the game. people convince themselves that they are smart or have worked hard. they discount luck. you have more chance if you are born into money or around it. beyond that. there is a danger of complacency or arrogance. this hubris leads to downfalls…

davepleasebehave ,

not sure they are quite so well organised

davepleasebehave ,

organised enough to run a pump and dump on stock?

davepleasebehave ,

most of lemmy talks of guillotining rich people, nature takes action and we are all up in arms. it’s just nature happening to one person. she gets special care in a country where the health system has been gutted. I can’t feel empathy

    just tried it. Not sure if it sounds better or I’m listening more closely than before. either way, I’m listening.

    davepleasebehave ,

    I have the xm4. and it’s true, sounds so much cleaner. once I turn it off it sounds grubby

    Israel government spokesman Eylon Levy suspended after comments about Gaza aid ( www.haaretz.com )

    Levy’s suspension follows a tweet, in response to British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, that ‘there are NO limits on the entry of food, water, medicine, or shelter equipment into Gaza, and in fact the crossings have EXCESS capacity’

    davepleasebehave ,

    he is honestly such a shit stain of a man. and the best part is, Israel seems to have a never ending stream of these liars to parade on TV.

    Luckily, people are getting wise to their lies.

    davepleasebehave ,

    Is that Chakotay?

    davepleasebehave ,

    Time to go vegan guys!

    Blinken says all of Gaza facing unprecedented food insecurity ( www.timesofisrael.com )

    “According to the most respected measure of these things, 100 percent of the population in Gaza is at severe levels of acute food insecurity. That’s the first time an entire population has been so classified,” Blinken told a press conference in the Philippines, where he is on an official visit.

    davepleasebehave ,

    Agreed. and Israel is finally being seen for the apartheid state it really is. A whole generation of people will grow up hating Israelis.

    well played Bibi

    davepleasebehave ,

    even Jewish people are being accused of anti semitism. check out the backlash to the Galzier acceptance speech at the oscars.

    davepleasebehave ,

    ironically, the war against anger only managed to create more

    davepleasebehave ,

    Disgusting. thanks for raising the issue.

    davepleasebehave ,

    you were drinking like a 5 year old with no parental controls.

    davepleasebehave ,

    see also the find the lady game played in tourist traps around the world.

    davepleasebehave ,

    did the nasty vegan say something horrible to you? maybe just shove more bacon into your mouth while the world burns.

    davepleasebehave ,

    yeah. keep shoving that meat into your mouth and take zero responsibility.

    davepleasebehave ,

    it’s obviously never your responsibility right?
