  • Biden authorizes Ukraine's use of US-supplied long-range missiles for deeper strikes inside Russia

    Jump

  • Hope Ukraine can get a lot done in the 2 months before US policy changes back. Maybe Biden is trying to force a rift between two old dictators before he leaves office, because as is I doubt Putin is going to allow Trump to stay on Ukraine's side.

  • Voting against Genocide – How Palestine Has Become a Domestic US Political Issue

    Jump

  • I disagree that "their humiliating defeat on November 5 was due largely to their undeniable role in the Israeli war and genocide in Gaza." I definitely think it played a role and Dems would have won more voters with concrete promises to halt Israel's genocide and enforce US laws like the Leahy Law. People are justifiably upset with Israel crossing lines without Biden enforcing consequences, and the huge amounts of money going to fund genocide as opposed to being used domestically.

    Was it really THE major issue affecting votes though? IMO the more significant issues were things like a feeling of "more of the same" when people are struggling and focusing on trying to win "moderate" Republicans instead of motivating a base they thought was guaranteed. Still, it's an article with valid points.

  • It's nice to know cracks are beginning to appear in his administration not even 10 days post-election. The more people opposing Trump the better for almost everyone. Even if it's bastards opposing bastards.

  • Reminds me of a quote from a Warhammer 40k book. "When the stars fell, when the seas boiled and the earth burned, my faith didn't die. That is when I began to believe. God was real, and he hated us."

  • Israel Has Failed to Meet U.S. Gaza Aid Demands, Humanitarian Groups Report

    Jump

  • I doubt Israel feels the need to wait out the months. Nothing was happening before, even when Israel crossed "red lines". Here's an impact snapshot for Nov. 5th. With Biden in power the situation right now is:

    • 345,000 people are at the UN's highest level of starvation (Level 5 - catastrophic). 876,000 are at Level 4 - emergency.

    • 87% of housing units are completely destroyed or seriously damaged. Average space for people in shelters is 1.5sq meters (5sq feet), less than half the 3.5sq meters (11.5sq feet) considered the humane minimum.

    Remember the outrage when the rocket hit the parking lot outside Al-Ahli hospital a few days into the war, with both sides claiming they'd never attack a hospital? Now 19 of 36 hospitals hospitals are completely out of service, and the remaining 17 are only partially functional. 130 ambulances have been damaged or destroyed.

    The change Israel has announced post-election is plans to bring Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, calling the Trump presidency "an opportunity".

  • Thank you for the perspective.

  • Israeli hooligans in Amsterdam sung about raping Arab women

    Jump

  • Holy cow. I plugged that into a translator and it's awful. Every time I think Israel can't go lower something like this comes out. I can't believe they have sung this song for almost a decade. I was going to post parts of it here to save people the effort of translating it, but it's so hateful I don't want to be responsible for that.

  • The Guardian has a story with the sequence of events and more video of multiple incidents. Maccabi (the Israeli team) supporters started burning Palestinian flags, vandalized a taxi, and started chanting about "let the IDF win, we will fuck the Arabs" and "there are no more children in Gaza."

    Stuff like that went on for a while, police made a couple of arrests, then after the soccer match things got nastier. 5 people hospitalized (don't know who), Amsterdam natives demanding to know if people were Jewish and to see passports, Israeli supporters setting off fireworks and using makeshift weapons pulled from a construction site.

    World leaders are calling it a targeted attack against Jews and shameful. No word in the article about leader reactions to what the Israelis did.

    Edit for an important P.S. - Please don't lump all Jews into this. There are many Jews that are at least as fervent in their opposition to what's going on in Israel as any of us. Probably a lot more so because of the personal stakes. I think it's super important to support them because they're fighting from inside the culture. Israel does not equal all Jews - please don't be antisemitic.

  • US: Second Trump Term a Threat to Rights in US, World

    Jump

  • Christianity mate. I was raised evangelical, and it's insane. People "speak in tongues" believing that the Holy Ghost is summoning unknown words of power through them. When someone was outed as a homosexual in a church I was raised in, every adult would take turns placing their hands on either side of their head and casting out the demon of homosexuality. The Flood covered the whole Earth, God designed each animal as they are, etc.

    The abortion/reproductive rights topic is religion made political.

    Logic, facts and compassion are very secondary and ignored completely if there's a conflict with belief. The folks I grew up with would wholeheartedly say that behavior you and I would consider hateful was done out of love. When I left the church I discovered sayings like, "There's no hate like Christian love". That being said, there are good people and more people in each generation deprogram themselves and realize they'd rather be sane than saved (in the sense of evangelical salvation).
