US approves $7.4bn sale of more weapons to Israel used to ravage Gaza

[email protected]

You pretending my points that people only care about one genocide as if it's the only genocide and that people like you are still litigating the election as if it matters were not made despite my literally making both of them is noted.

You're saying that more than one genocide exists and from there deriving the conclusion that people only care about one genocide, is that correct? Because if so then, well, I think I've explained why people are making more noise about the Gaza genocide than about others. To reiterate, though, it's simply the most preventable of them and also the one most reliant on external aid that can be attacked. It's the difference between a natural disaster and a premeditated murder. So then let me ask: How do you want people to care about the Sudanese? What do you want and who do you want it do it?

Let me know when you decide to stop litigating the election and decide to actually do something that will make a change.

Okay I'm not sure what exactly you mean by litigate here. Do you mean just arguing about it? If so I'm just killing time; I'm not expecting any change to come out of this. I'm also very far from anywhere where it's even possible to do that, so... Yeah that's it I guess.

You see it was impossible to take a nuanced position and vote for the lesser of two evils.

which the dems were also blocking

Which the dems were what? Israel ramped up operations in the West Bank during the war if you remember that. Also at least 200 thousand Gazans have died my man at least wait until something (and no, Trump saying horrible things doesn't qualify) happens before you say "worse than what was happening under the dems".

False. What is going on in Sudan could easily be prevented. It's just that no one gives a shit enough to do anything about it except those of us who take part in human rights campaigns.

I’m also very far from anywhere where it’s even possible to do that, so…

Where on the planet do you live that you can communicate with people on Lemmy but can't contact a single politician anywhere else? There are literally form emails you could spend if you took seconds of time out of your day.

But I realize that's not fun like arguing about an election that was decided last year.

How so? I'm seriously asking here. The only people with a hand on the steering wheel here are the UAE to my knowledge.

Good thing you asked. I'm an Egyptian studying in Japan. The former is an autocratic police state and the latter both isn't involved in Palestinian affairs beyond occasionally giving aid and doesn't really care what foreigners think. So I guess if there's a politician out there who actually cares about what I have to say I'd love to hear about them.

I didn't realize there were only two countries with politicians you could contract or that there were any you could contact in those countries about using their ability to talk to the media (an ability that you presumably don't have) about the genocide. Or any genocide.

Or even just join a human rights campaign. They have very public websites. I guess those websites are banned in Japan. And that VPNs are also banned if they are.

My mistake. Do go on endlessly talking about an election that happened a month ago and pretending there's absolutely nothing you could do.

Blocking. They didn’t ramp them up til the level they’re at now until Trump got in for a reason. Adelson didn’t pay 150m for nothing you twat

[email protected]

Neither of those things will happen, the US will turn into an autocratic state and Palestine will be erased. Then they will expand to Greater Israel with US troops.

They did, though. What are they doing now rhat they didn't during the war?

Intensified its activities in the West Bank, including accelerating settlement expansion, legalising previously unauthorised outposts, and conducting large-scale military operations.

What exactly do you think Adelson paid for?

Imagine saying that line unironically. Serious Nazi vibes here at .world.

I think the way forward is to get away from both Republicans and Democrats and bring people into power, who are not part of either. Going back to the Democrats is not going to make things better again. Another example for that is the migration and deportation policies of Biden, which were mostly a continuation of Trumps policies.

So business as usual then? Lemme just quote the Wikipedia page on the war:

West Bank:[h]

905 killed[11][33][34]
7,370+ wounded[11][34]
14,300+ detained

I mean "what the fuck happened in November 2024" is an important question to answer if you're ever going to stop people from being loaded into boxcars.

[email protected]

Really? How?

[email protected]

Left populism is popular. Center right positions coming from the Democrats are not.

Would you like fascism or diet fascism? Uhh... Neither. So I guess I will just stay home and not vote

(Actually, I did vote. But I can understand why a lot of people weren't motivated to).

[email protected]

It certainly seems that way on .world lately.

I knew what the comments were going to be in this thread before I even opened it.

[email protected]

Do you have some inherent deficiency that makes it impossible to see nuance? In another world you'd be MAGA.

No, not business as usual, as I explained.

[email protected]

Because one thing (holding your nosed and uniting behind the Democrats) was tried, and miserably failed. If you don't know why it failed you'll never know how to do better, or even if it is possible to do better. I guess my point is that those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, and y'all really can't afford a repeat of this election.

Do you have a source with numbers backing up your claims?
