Literally doubling down on a war crime. I truly don't understand why America supports Israel at this point. I don't see what we gain by continuing support, nor do I see what we lose by not continuing support. We lose more international respect with every passing day of complicity to Israel's genocidal conquest. We were supposed to be better than this.
The Wix internal chat encouraging creation of propaganda summed it up very well: “show Westernity… unlike the Gazans, we look and live like Europeans or Americans.”
They are a strong extension of western power in an area that is traditionally not all that friendly, as Joe Biden will tell anyone, “if Israel didn’t exist we would have to make an Israel.”
The US talks about moral superiority pretty often but has a long history of supporting friendly despots, we hear all about the murderers who took over Cuba and little about the US ally and mass murderer Bautista, or Pinochet, or Saddam Hussein. They would overthrow Jesus Christ and Ghandi if US interests were threatened. As long as they remain friendly to the US they can do just about anything with US carriers to protect them.
Download the wix app so you can leave a review about them supporting genocide.
The US Has Been at war 225 out of 243 years since 1776. This is what America 🇺🇸 is.
Because USA may not be better than Israël ?
Hamas has been building bunkers under some locations at these camps. Israel did give warning.
Hope you’re getting paid to post, because increasingly it’s falling on deaf ears. The world can see what’s happening.
No but the celebration of Hamas here is embarrassing. Most of the world knows of the reality in the ground. Lemmy is not typical of most views.
No one is celebrating Hamas. In a just world they wouldn’t exist because Israel would welcome Palestinians as Semitic brothers and they would live and work together. Lemmy may not hold the same views of society, but increasingly the world is seeing the truth. Join us November 4 at the National March on Washington to Free Palestine.
It's possible to denounce both Israeli leadership and Hamas. Killing civilians is bad, and the people doing it are murderers. This is not a controversial take, and it's weird that it doesn't seem to have occurred to many people. Terrorist attacks are bad, and so are retaliatory escalations to genocide.
