You can be gay and fight Hitler

You're advocating for respectability politics. We have to be nice to the people who hate us to try to convince them to be nice to us. If that's the game you want to play, you can. But it certainly hasn't achieved victory for anyone yet. You know what has achieved change? Protesting. Being loud. Telling people when they're wrong. Not putting up with the bullshit.

You're advocating for assimilation, while what we want is liberation.

Please tell me, as a trans nonbinary person, what the respectable version of "trans women are women" is?

I mean... Israel isn't exactly accepting the offers made by the other side to stop the fighting and get their people back. They seem more intent on committing a couple of war crimes.

Diplomacy has resulted in the release of more hostages than military action has. Just saying.

[-] Kentifer@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Well, Hamas is not a state, nor is it a signatory to the genocide charter, so this ruling really doesn't apply to them. However, you're right, they'll probably continue holding the hostages as negotiating chips. To be clear, I condemn Hamas and the Israeli government. However, the 25,000 people killed weren't all Hamas. Israel doesn't even claim they were mostly Hamas. And of course Israel will provide evidence in an attempt to defend themselves, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered showing up.

You might be interested to know that Israel's national security ministry, Itamar Ben-Gvir, tweeted "Hague Schmague" after the ICJ ruling. Does that sound like the sentiment of someone who intends to comply?

Please explain to me, without relying on evidence from Israel, the claims in South Africa's complaints are bullshit. You have made a similar statement before but I don't know what you think is bullshit, half-truths, or exaggerations. They use facts from independent sources or from Israel themselves when they can. They use quotes to show intent (it is rare to see this much evidence of intent). They showed video of soldiers echoing the genocidal rhetoric of the president and the prime minister. So which parts did they misrepresent?

And then they bombed the safe areas. Look it up. You're wrong about this. The ICJ has agreed to continue the case. They are clearly convinced that there is a plausibility that Israel has committed genocide. Do you think you're smarter than the 17 judges sitting on the ICJ for this case?

You are a genocide apologist and I hope you live to feel the shame you deserve to feel.

Why is it that their population hasn't grown in the same way as people with other views on land ownership, do you think? Is it because the other people were the good guys in your imagination?

Capitalism, mostly.

Just as soon as someone does all of the necessary planning. Strikes go on for a long time. There needs to be infrastructure in place for helping people meet their needs during a strike. That's one thing that unions are able to help with. Untill that infrastructure is in place, a general strike will never succeed because people will need money to food, medication, sanitary products, etc.

[-] Kentifer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well, all Gazans which I'm sure is what you meant by Palestinian since the West Bank is governed by the Palestinian Authority, are currently being bombed by the Israeli government. So you might be waiting a little bit. Especially seeing as Hamas hasn't allowed elections in 15 years.

I'm looking forward to Israel freeing Palestine.
