I agree with you, but you might find the history of Zionism interesting. Before Israel, there was a sizable portion of Zionists that didn’t want Israel to exist in the middle east. There were also Zionists that didn’t want a ‘state’. They thought it was more important to have a safe place for a sizable Jewish population. There’s probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you’d agree with. It’s the dominant Israeli Zionism that’s horrible.

It’s a lot easier to say ‘Zionist’ though. Just thought I’d share in case you weren’t aware.

I’ve heard, so take with a grain of salt, that China likes Chiang’s ideology that China should be reunified.
The disagreement was who should be in power after.
The removal of the statues somehow indicates they don’t want reunion.

Israel has attacked 4 different countries in it’s ‘war against hamas.’ It’s attacked, Syria, Lebanon, Iran and Palestine. They’re aggressively trying to escalate.

Taiwan has always been a bit fascy.

When Kai Cheks party split from the CCP, he ordered the killing of any communists still inside his own party effectively starting a civil war. Kai chek eventually lost and fled to Taiwan where he ruled until his death.

That bit of history is crazy interesting and also illuminating regarding current Chinese policy. I’d really encourage anyone to read up on it

‘Killing nearly 32 000 already’

32 000 confirmed already. The real number is much higher

Because you’ve got some naive beliefs about the state of the world …
We should just agree to block each other. Cheers

Voting is the minimum. The reason there’s no decent alternative is because people vote and think they did their part.

If you’re voting for the lesser of two evils and that lesser is actively supporting genocide, but you’re complaining about people that are saying ‘both sides bad’…

‘If you’re curious what you would do to stand up against genocide, you’re doing it now’ - a braver man than me

Seems reasonable

You’re right, but Israel is experiencing a boy who cried wolf scenario. They just aren’t trustworthy for anything

In the early 00s there were a lot of reports in alternative media about Israelis eating babies.
This seems like an extension of that.

Israel should be abolished, but we don’t need to make up things to make that argument

I appreciate you

The order was to stop genocide. The other option was to throw the case out.

The language is purposely broad for legal reasons, but apparently, people are taking it’s broadness as a win for Israel.

This was definitely not a win for Israel.

Part one…'killing members of the group… ’ '… Causing serious bodily harm to members of the group ’

The order then says to stop doing everything in part one.

How about respecting the sovereign land of the people that don’t have treaties yet? Wetsuoten (spelling?) land defenders are still being harassed by the RCMP on the regular

Canadian here. I believe in reconciliation with the indigenous population, but I’ve yet to see anything but words from provincial and federal governments

Segal has been cozying up pretty hard to the eastern Europe dictators. Like little spoon cozy. A belaspoo if you will
