I don't even know what to say. To believe in democracy after this is malicious. I've been seeing some of the biggest protests worldwide and world leaders are plugging their ears and turning their back.

It's not democracy when shareholders control the news. It's not democracy when only the wealthy can afford to take office. It's not democracy when our workplaces are dictatorships. Democracy isn't the problem, capitalism is.

It's not democracy when the wealthy exist

I whole heartedly agree. My complaint is towards people who think we still live in a democratic state and can therefore just vote our problems away or that another election cycle will solve this.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

But it’s still democracy because the majority of westerners and Israelis support this.

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

Because the capitalist/state controlled media has been propagandizing them on it. If the media isn't democratic, neither are our governing structures.

While quoting from Nitter is allowed via the rules, Al Jazeera is a slightly more substantive news source than a guy on Twitter.

Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, particularly in the north of the enclave, increases in intensity as military spokesperson says Israeli ground forces “expanding operations”.

UN General Assembly passes non-binding resolution calling for humanitarian truce in Gaza.

...

Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, say they have “foiled an Israeli ground incursion into Beit Hanoun and the east of Bureij,” adding that “violent clashes” are now taking place. A senior Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, has said that Israel was attempting “to create an image of victory”. “Cutting off communications from the Gaza Strip is an attempt to cover up the crimes of the [Israeli] occupation without any oversight or accountability,” Hamdan added.

I was just citing the video, not some random guy; I’ll change my post to include your source.

thank you, don't want to come off as hostile, just wary of sources and misinformation at a time like this kim-salute

Quoting from the RNN telegram since it bears repeating:

"The eternal martyr Basil Al-Araj wrote abundantly before his ascension in March of 2017. In his posthumously published book, "I Have Found My Answers," (a line from his will) he spoke of war during the 2014 zionist aggression on Gaza, just prior to the IOF ground invasion on July 17.

Basil guided us with eight rules and insights on the nature of war. He wrote: — Since there is talk of a ground operation, several points must be considered:

  1. The Palestinian resistance consists of guerrilla formations whose strategies follow the logic of guerrilla warfare or hybrid warfare, which Arabs and Muslims have become masters of through our experiences in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Gaza. War is never based on the logic of conventional wars and the defense of fixed points and borders; on the contrary, you draw the enemy into an ambush. You do not stick to a fixed position to defend it; instead, you perform maneuvers, movement, withdrawal, and attack from the flanks and the rear. So, never measure it against conventional wars.

  2. The enemy will spread photos and videos of their invasion into Gaza, occupation of residential buildings, or presence in public areas and well-known landmarks. This is part of the psychological warfare in guerrilla wars; you allow your enemy to move as they wish so that they fall into your trap and you strike them. You determine the location and timing of the battle. So, you may see photos from Al-Katiba Square, Al-Saraya, Al-Rimal, or Omar Al-Mukhtar Street, but do not let this weaken your resolve. The battle is judged by its overall results, and this is merely a show.

  3. Never spread the occupation's propaganda, and do not contribute to instilling a sense of defeat. This must be focused on, for soon, we will start talking about a massive invasion in Beit Lahia and Al-Nusseirat, for example. Never spread panic; be supportive of the resistance and do not spread any news broadcast by the occupation (forget about the ethics and impartiality of journalism; just as the zionist journalist is a fighter, so are you).

  4. The enemy may broadcast images of prisoners, most likely civilians, but the goal is to suggest the rapid collapse of the resistance. Do not believe them.

  5. The enemy will carry out tactical, qualitative operations to assassinate some symbols [of resistance], and all of this is part of psychological warfare. Those who have died and those who will die will never affect the resistance's system and cohesion because the structure and formations of the resistance are not centralized but horizontal and widespread. Their goal is to influence the resistance's support base and the families of the resistance fighters, as they are the only ones who can affect the men of the resistance.

  6. Our direct human and material losses will be much greater than the enemy's, which is natural in guerrilla wars that rely on willpower, the human element, and the extent of patience and endurance. We are far more capable of bearing the costs, so there is no need to compare or be alarmed by the magnitude of the numbers.

  7. Today's wars are no longer just wars and clashes between armies but rather are struggles between societies. Let us be like a solid structure and play a game of biting fingers with the enemy, our society against their society.

Finally, every Palestinian (in the broad sense, meaning anyone who sees Palestine as a part of their struggle, regardless of their secondary identities), every Palestinian is on the front lines of the battle for Palestine, so be careful not to fail in your duty."

I hope there's a Hell because every single Western politician and media figure has been officially condemned to it
