After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.
i knew biden would be disappointing but fuck… not “incredibly horrible”
so, now the election is between incredibly horrible and unimaginably worse…
Love that americans are still worried about elections of all things as if anything other than organized violence will stop a capitalist government from committing genocide.
americans are too chickenshit and comfortable to do anything than complain. i wish we were more like the french.
I thought that was what the 2nd Armament was for, but apparently it’s actually for killing school children.
Only the brown ones, but yes. See: Mulford act
The white kids who die are just an acceptable cost, I guess.
Sufficiently grand disorganized violence or sufficiently organized property destruction could also work.
Hey we’re not hungry enough yet. Violence is scary and we won’t do it till we absolutely gotta. I mean we absolutely gotta but even as i know this I’m not picking up a gun yet, i still have a lot to lose. It’s not like it’s just here in the states, it’s happening all over the western world. When will you decide to take up arms and take your life back?
I’m not attacking you, just putting you in my yankee shoes

Israel is committing genocide with American bombs and American protection and American approval. This war could be ended if Biden just stopped giving them more bombs and stopped protecting Israel from the consequences of its actions. Israel is the 51st State, America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier, it’s an American genocide. We don’t get to hide behind a proxy and pretend we are not directly responsible.

Why are you bringing up Russia here?
“Israel” is a US colony; it’s entire existence hinges on the latter.
Its formation used common british colonization tactics [III], with companies literally named “Colonization Commission”, “Jewish Colonial Trust” and the like.
Theodor Herzl, founder of the colonial ideology he called “zionism”, was himself also just a racist colonizer by his own admission, and saw it as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
Only difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe.
And capitalist governments work for the interests and profit of capitalists rather than workers as is the reason for the genocide here (keeping the middle east unstable and unable to unite against imperialism with a colony right in the middle of Africa and Asia), so yes that does matter.
The government does not represent you since you’re not a capitalist, so trying to change something as massive as a genocide through it is pointless, specially when the only other option is just as bad, if not worse. The only thing that will change it is organizing and pressuring it from the outside.
Rather than “intervening” like you want other countries to do against a nuclear state, has the US considered not directly funding and facilitating the genocide?
I think I disagree with this.
Puerto Rico is a colony. There’s a very clear difference in how the empire treats colonies and how it treats extensions of itself. Israel, rather than being a colony, is actually just an extension of the US empire. It’s like the 51st state, it’s an equal partner in the imperial project.

So youre saying we should stop sending arms and money to Russia?
Wait, no that can’t be it, so we should send arms and money to Palestine? Based AF
But to be serious though, the difference is a country has not brought up formal accusations of genocide in Ukraine before the ICJ. Also:
Love how you ignore everything they said and bring up something completely unrelated to derail the conversation lmao
Edit: but, what are your feelings about the us colony’s genocide in palestine?
The american chauvinist cannot comprehend people being from other countries

lol at this wannabe cop bootlicker
Hey, you gonna file a report with your local intelligence branch about people on the internet mad at their governments?
If somebody accuses you of being a cop, maybe don’t start acting like a child and then immediately call them a cop.
It just makes you look uncreative, on top of the other shortcoming previously mentioned.
I’m not that guy.
You should definitely tell the police that people on the internet are making you feel bad though, call 911 asap!
What are the chances two completely separate not the same guys could stumble into the same conversation and be that obtuse?
Fairly high!
Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
Wait, don’t give up on trying to convince people to document and rat on each other so easy!
Come on, how else are the spooks gonna know who to target if we don’t form a circular firing squad?

I have a million alt accounts and they’re all inside your walls
Well, hey, if there is only 55,000 Lemmy users and you’re certain I am not one of you, than congrats, there is now two people here.
report me to the House Un-American Activities Committee you McCarthyist loser
I didn’t realize not calling for terrorism on the open web made ma McCarthyite. Somebody just watched Good Night, and Good Luck in AP History, huh?
“those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
“Omg wtf JFK is a terrorist???” - you, apparently
Except you are calling out for an Oswald here, not a JFK.
The sad thing is there might be somebody here stupid enough to fall for it. Doubtful, but maybe God is on your side tonight.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a single man, the poster you’re whining about is calling for mass organized action (that means with lots of coordinated people). Try to keep up, you’re making yourself look like a clown here.
Well Lee Harvey Oswald wasn’t stupid enough to advertise his violent rhetoricon open forums prior.
So ironically, I would probably find Oswald more credible than the person you are currently defending.
Yup :(
I don’t envy you Americans. Here in Canada we have our own set of idiots too and it almost always boils down to voting for the least worst person :(
democracy under capitalism = fascism in cosplay
no matter how much you organize, grassroots, and petition… evil bastards will steamroll your movements with cash, and add a little concession to whatever you were riling people up about…
then you get to vote for the guy pandering to you or the guy who isn’t, but they’ll both do the same shit… give more money to rich people any way possible.
Yeah you only have Conservatives to choose from. It sucks.
Almost like the electoral system is broken and the only solution us direct action?
