I guess Switzerland is usually not on the right side of history.
You can be critical of many things Israel does but banning Hamas doesn't seem like a terrible move to me
They are on the side of money. Nazis had money, Israel has money, Palestine has no money. They just fancy hillbillies
Hey look! Here's proof! A tunnel that we built decades ago! See? There's no proof anyone was in there, but still... A tunnel! Nefarious, isn't it?
Ah yes, the right to shoot through thousands of children to get to one fighter who left the scene 2 days ago.
"neutral"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Swiss federal government has also allocated €93.36 million in humanitarian aid for the region at the beginning of November.
The Swiss government says it will pass a new law by the end of February to ban any “Hamas activities" or "support" for the Palestinian group.
The Swiss Federal Council recently designated Hamas as a "terrorist organisation" and considers this new policy as the “most appropriate response” to the events that have been unfolding in the Middle East since Hamas fighters launched a deadly cross-border raid from inside Gaza to Southern Israel on 7 October.
Switzerland will terminate contracts with three Palestinian NGOs found to have “instances of non-compliance” while maintaining contractual relationships with eight other NGOs.
The government has called for “respect for international humanitarian law and in particular the protection of civilians” stressing the need for humanitarian pauses "to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access".
The Federal Council, which allocated CHF90 million (€93.36 million) in humanitarian aid for the region at the beginning of November, expressed “deep sorrow for the thousands of civilians who have lost their lives”, and recognised Israel’s right to its “own defence and security”.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
