Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Harm reduction my ass. This is overt complicity in using starvation, famine, genocide, colective punishment, siege warfare as a means of WALL STREET FASCIST domination over the world. Don't forget who owns these fuckers. It isn't "the Jews". It is straight up racist fascists. May they all get Nuremberged.

2025 nice little nod to Project 2025 you Democrat party gaslighters. "Harm reduction".

I'd like to know how - in real terms, not grandstanding and rhetoric - Trump would be any worse for the Palestinians. Like, the only thing the US isn't doing to promote the genocide is to put actual US troops on the ground; and I really don't see even Trump doing that.

illegal-to-say

Truly monstrous

Listened to a recent Chapo where they interviewed a Palestinian-American activist: They said UNRWA aid was critical to the well-being and livlihoods of Palestinians.

Basically the only reason to stop funding is you unambiguously want people to die.

stalin shouldn't have stopped at berlin

Apparently it also limits aid to the Palestinian Authority if

“the Palestinians initiate an International Criminal Court (ICC) judicially authorized investigation, or actively supports such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians.”
