      Just like when Nixon sabotaged the Paris peace talks, or when Reagan betrayed the American hostages in Iran.

      Sadly there are too much Anti-western actors interested in it being perceived as genocide, no matter what’s happening on the ground. With billions of Qatari/IRGC/Putin/CCP money it can be easy to spread a narrative, especially against the only state that is Jewish

      And kudos for combating “the poplar” narrative, I used to argue quite a lot about politics a year ago back on kbin, but after a bunch of the same discussions and buzzwords lost motivation to do it

        I’m honestly confused. What on Earth does the way you wipe your ass imply? And how do you know that?

          It’s just a terminally online way of calling someone stupid. Don’t think too hard about it.

          I think it comes from the fact that if you have a vagina and the accompanying microscopic perineum then you should not wipe back to front, as that could potentially move bacteria from fecal matter towards the vulva, where it could get into the urethra and cause a UTI or any number of places and cause all sorts of undesirable issues, and thus doing it is “stupid” as in a bad idea. From that it became a more general way of saying someone is “stupid” like “you sound like you ate play-doh/glue/whatevs as a kid”. Got picked up on some twitter-adjacent parts of the internet and now it’s slang.

      Wow. Just universally equating all Arabs to one another. So, to you, there’s no difference whatsoever between individual Arabs, they all believe and act exactly the same, all over the world? Doesn’t matter who specifically did the things you’re claiming, they’re all guilty?

      Quite possibly the most blatantly racist comment I’ve seen to date on Lemmy. And you have the audacity to call out others here.

      I hope you do some serious introspection before speaking on this topic again.

          Unfortunately it seems like this kind racial (and/or national) essentialist thinking is becoming more prevalent. I’m not sure exactly why but perhaps it’s due to increasing international tensions lately.

    They’re not actually going to stop, the news will just stop reporting about it, because we’ve got distraction-in-chief on twitter again daring North Korea to nuke us.

    I remember 2017.

    …are we counting “no Palilestinians left” as the end of the genocide? 😬

    On the incredibly infinitesimally insignificantly microscopically small chance that Trump somehow accidentally but actually stops the genocide, I won’t bother looking that gift horse in the mouth. I’ll just be thankful and move on to the litany of other problems.

      Its the same with RFK wanting to legalise psychedelics in some way. Thats something that is in fact good, but that doesn’t compensate for him being not suited for this position.

    Suppose trump was actually the one to negotiate a cease fire with Palestinians and Isreal. That can only be considered in hindsight and would not change the harm reduction calculation. Notice how no one was arguing that trump would actually be the one to end the fighting in Gaza?

    Right.

    I would like to remind people this conflict is decades and decades old, it’s not a democrat thing, or republican thing. America has supported this genocide for over 50 years. The democrats and republicans of now will surely, if unfortunately, continue.

      Henry Kissinger did something similar to delay the end of the Vietnam war, in order to get Nixon elected.

    People need to remember Netantahu wants Trump in power, so is going to make decisions that are good optics for Trump when he can. He similarly made decisions that are bad optics for Biden on purpose. While Biden did himself no favors, never forget Netanyahu is the one who put him in that position.

      It’s so odd that the time line for this surge of fighting happened right through the election cycle. You know, it’s almost like if you were to coordinate political strategies with your allies you could find advantageous opportunities that serve each other to the disadvantage of your opponents. Except, that could never happen, right? Right? As if what appeared to be genocide was just sloppy blitzkrieg trying to cause as much damage as possible in a limited time frame.

      Ok, I’ll shut up now, I wouldn’t want people to think those with unlimited resources are capable of high level strategic warfare.

    Are they still pretending they don’t support him? I thought for sure they’d all have given that ruse up the moment he won.

      Nah, they can go their entire lives pretending not to be dictator simps. When it comes to tankies, it was never about the communism and always about the tanks treading over the plebs.
