You don't have the moral high ground you think you have. You can't scare me with Russia when the US and many Western countries are guilty of enabling a genocide.

Here's what the Financial Times wrote a year ago:

“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” said one senior G7 diplomat. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost . . . Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”

“What we said about Ukraine has to apply to Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the senior G7 diplomat added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”

Just four weeks before the Hamas assault on Israel, leaders from the US, EU and western allies attended the G20 summit in New Delhi and asked developing nations to condemn Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian civilians in order to uphold respect for the UN charter and international law. Many of those officials told the Financial Times they have had the same argument read back at them in demands for condemnation of Israel’s retaliatory assault on Gaza, and of its decision to restrict water, electricity and gas supplies there.

No it isn't. You can't explain our situation to us, you have zero clue.

Trump openly told Netanyahu to eradicate the Palestinians. Trump has empowered Israel over and over again.

Exclusive: US has sent Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs since Oct. 7

Pay attention to the news, please. Biden sent Israel thousands of 2000-pound bombs, he is helping Israel eradicate Palestinians.

I am in Pennsylvania, and I am going to write-in Jill Stein as it looks like I can't for Claudia De la Cruze. Though all the ads about my voting record being public makes me think that even staying home sends the message to the Democrats.

And Biden and Harris aren't? Harris even parrots the lies about mass rape by Hamas and that Israel is defending itself.

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Why do liberals think this is worse than genocide I will never know. What has Biden done to undo it? Nothing.

if you at all believe in a free Palestine, you will take action to vote for Harris

How? Harris isn't even allowing Palestinian Americans to speak. She isn't even trying to appeal to them or acknowledge them.

I was idealistic when I was young too

Thanks for the compliment but my bad back calls bullshit on me being young.

This is an interesting perspective that I haven't thought of or considered.

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

strategically voting over the next four cycles

The wild thing is that you are being serious, unless we return strategically to its Greek root and create a people's army to solve the problem

[–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Weird that you think voting third party will accomplish that.

I honestly do. Especially if the Democrats lose, they will learn that genocide costs votes.

My preference is 1. Claudia De la Cruz, 2. Jill Stein

 

Oh Themis, divine goddess of order,

Blessing all devotees who adored Her,

We call upon you to guide us O’ wise sage,

Through life as we turnover another page.

Your justice, though forever unfolding, never fails,

Overcoming violent seas, as a mighty ship sails.

In your good time, the truth shall be unfurled,

Like a beacon of light, shining brightly on the world.

Grant us the patience to await the hour,

When justice blooms, upheld by your great power.

May we act with integrity and grace,

Trusting in the fairness of your pace.

Themis, we honor your eternal flame,

The righteous path that bears your noble name.

May your scales balance, may your sight be clear,

And in your wisdom, may we persevere.

The Israeli government has failed to comply with at least one measure in the legally binding order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in South Africa’s genocide case, Human Rights Watch said today. Citing warnings about “catastrophic conditions” in Gaza, the court ordered Israel on January 26, 2024, to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian aid,” and to report back on its compliance to the specific measures “within one month.”

One month later, however, Israel continues to obstruct the provision of basic services and the entry and distribution within Gaza of fuel and lifesaving aid, acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes and include the use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war. Fewer trucks have entered Gaza and fewer aid missions have been permitted to reach northern Gaza in the several weeks since the ruling than in the weeks preceding it, according to United Nations Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

“The Israeli government is starving Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians, putting them in even more peril than before the World Court’s binding order,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “The Israeli government has simply ignored the court’s ruling, and in some ways even intensified its repression, including further blocking lifesaving aid.”

Human Rights Watch found in December 2023 that Israeli authorities are using starvation as a weapon of war. Pursuant a policy set out by Israeli officials and carried out by Israeli forces, the Israeli authorities are deliberately blocking the delivery of water, food, and fuel, willfully impeding humanitarian assistance, apparently razing agricultural areas, and depriving the civilian population of objects indispensable to its survival.
