The idea that indigenous peoples should be subjugated and forcefully integrated by settlers is an inherently racial problem. This was just as true in Canada and the US as it was true in South America as it is in Palestine today.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific, the indigenous people of North America should be free.

In terms of particulates? China's really cleaned that up in recent years.

But, well, China doesn't have massive piles of natural gas it can burn instead of coal. Coal is notoriously dirty.

Thing is, Canada has been looking inward. That's what makes it worse.

You'd think Americans would be more sympathetic for people fighting for liberty...

Condemning war crimes is communist and authoritarian.

UN agency in Palestine blames Hamas of stealing Gaza aid, then deletes post on X and refutes claim

Reminder to be suspicious of all headlines!

In this case, the previous headline said that people purporting to be from the health authority of the de facto government of Gaza (i.e. Hamas) asked for medical supplies and UNRWA gave them... medical supplies.

lemmy.ca defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, who are driving top-level comments on here. Since you can't see the top-level comments, you also can't see any discussion below.

I opposed lemmy.ca's decision to defederated from hexbear based on the perceived behaviour of hexbear users on other instances for exactly this reason: I think an instance's role is to police the actions of users posting to that instance, not to police their users' exposure to other instances.

According to the IDF, targeting civilians is their right.

That's not the distinction you should be making.

It's sad that any bad sentiment towards the Zionist regime is getting conflated with antisemitism. You don't have to hate Jewish people to hate an apartheid state dead-set on ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Similarly, you don't have to like how Hamas operates to sympathize with their goal of overthrowing said apartheid state.

Gazans have the right to revolution, just as the Americans, French, and Chinese did.

Condemning violence in revolution is akin to condemning the formation of these countries we have today. Palestinians have exhausted all other options.
