There is literally no winning for Palestinians. Their slow death is ignored, and their resistance is condemned.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 59 points 1 year ago

I don’t care about what westerners condemn

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Because you've seen what they applaud?

[-] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 70 points 1 year ago

My instinct was to make a joke about libs performatively supporting things instead of materially.

But in this case, I prefer they don't actually provide any material support. So good work libs. You're being so brave rat-salute

Don't jinx this I'm pretty sure libs have collectively crowdfunded literally dozens of millions of dollars into Ukraine

Just my coworkers alone have crowdfunded over 5k to deliver medical supplies to the Ukrainian army

Boy we went from "slava ukraini" to "...slava israeli?" real quick.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

It's just "Heil Hitler" at this point

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

They’ll be doing that in about a year.

Goldfish memory westerners only have enough short term memory space to remember one overseas conflict at a time.

Would it be in bad taste to hope for another passenger jet /j

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

idk but i came here to say i was praying for planes

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Ehh it wouldn't do much. A b25 bomber actually hit the empire state building in 1945 and the building is still there. It's a much more robust structure than the wtc.

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

huh, interesting! i did not know about that. admittedly, it sounds like a problem that could be solved by adding more plane to the equation

Yeah, but only because of the passengers.

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

Imperialist solidarity.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

And like most Liberal efforts, it's half-assed and meaningless

One fuckin' hour of light?

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

This is not even quarter-assed

We must honor the 51st State

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

Lol oh there’s a building on my commute that had its colors set blue and yellow for the longest time I imagine they’re on this wave too

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago

My favorite cringe story about lighting things up in the colors of a nation's flag is when Sweden at the start of the Ukraine war made the baffling decision to show solidarity with Ukraine by lighting up city hall and the Stockholm subway in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The problem with this is that the Ukrainian flag has the exact same colors as the Swedish flag, and since the lamps had already been installed for years they just turned them on on their default setting, just like they had done about once a week whenever there was any kind of national event, no matter how small. But this time it was for Ukraine, not a friendly football game against Slovakia or the queen's birthday or a Eurovision song contest or any of the other reasons they had turned on those exact same lights hundreds of times before. And THAT is how you do a TRULY empty gesture folks.

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the queen's birthday

This is a huge tangent but I always find it funny when I'm reminded Sweden has a monarchy

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I'm mad at Ukraine for slightly ruining blue and yellow for me, my favorite color combination my whole life. At least I procrastinated long enough on getting the neat blue and yellow camo pants I wanted thats it's no longer an issue

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

They are also the colors of the EU flag!

...I'm sorry. I realize that I am further ruining your perfectly harmless enjoyment of a pretty nice color combination.

[-] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Blue and yellow also belongs to the shittiest Planetside faction

Has anyone checked in on Eve Fartlow since this started?

[-] oregoncom@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

The Israeli embassy account posted a bunch of these pictures on Chinese social media and the caption "we hope China stands with us" and it resulted in massive backlash with comments like "Eight Nations Invasion countries", "does someone have a QR code for donating to Hamas" and "Berlin, Rome, Austria, looks a bit familiar". I guess there's solace in knowing stuff like this is driving people in global south countries towards supporting Palestine more.
