I wish they hadn't settled on these matters. Sometimes things need to be brought to court - and when the state is involved there's less of an excuse not to.
Sure, there could be someone in Hamas who is politically savvy in such a manner. That's pretty unlikely though, less likely than outside influence in this case. I've edited my comment a little bit to better reflect that.
If Hamas were truly politcally savvy I think they would be far better at garnering widespread international support.
That's not the federated post, that's the current lemm.ee post - which won't include any of the user's comments (they are deleted on lemm.ee).
The federated post is always on the user's instance. In this case, even though the community it was posted in was lemmy.ml, the user was in lemmy.world, so that is the federated host. This is the link to the federated post, but it's been deleted so you just get an error: https://lemmy.world/post/440073
I miss the days when everything you saw on the internet was easily accessible in the temp folder, ready for you to rummage through.
I would hesitate to give Hamas credit for being politically savvy, more than to say that they have backers that instruct them on how to be politically savvy.
The ground invasion is such bullshit though. I really hate how Israel keep making out that they're "defending themselves", when they're clearly not in a defensive posture. The time for defense was 7 October, when it was conspicuously absent. They're performing a counter-attack, into foreign territory, with only a vague attempt at focusing on military targets.
I don't really trust this website, they seem to be pushing you towards their paid services rather than providing useful news.
In any case, my understanding is that this is pretty old news. Also, it's not J&J filing for bankruptcy, but a spin-off subsiduary that they created after the fact and have given all the IP rights to. They've lost every step of the way so far because what they're trying to do is so transparent, they're trying to shirk liability when at the time it was all theirs and theirs alone.
I don't like pop ups, I want as few clicks/taps as possible. If I tap the text it should take me to the comments, if I tap the picture it should take me to the picture/link, and then from either one I should be able to go directly to the other without pressing back first.
The functionality you describe should be found under a long press, imo.
Personally I hate how similar the image and link icons are on the website. They're both squares with diagonal lines through them. I've lost count of the amount of times I accidentally clicked a link instead of expanding an image.
Fair points, you've got my upvote.
Vietnam was undone because they killed and brutalized the invading US soldiers until the American appetite for war turned sour. Afghanistan. Iraq.
They killed and brutalized US soldiers. The vast majority of victims on 7 October were civilians.
What Hamas did was show the Israeli public that they aren’t safe, and they did so at the same time that the Netanyahu regime was facing unprecedented public opposition from within Israeli society.
This was poignant timing, yes.
They did so at a time when the US government had no House Speaker or can easily solve it.
This was mostly luck, although there some remote possibility of a wider conspiracy.
They did so at a time when the West was occupied with an endless war in Ukraine and brinkmanship with China over Taiwan.
I give 50/50 odds on whether this was coincidence or not. Suffice it to say, the main reason for the timing is almost certainly to do with Netanyahu - who has previously promoted support of Hamas.
Hamas has actually seriously damaged the occupation with this attack. Will you acknowledge this?
I acknowledge that the strike was incredibly effective, moreso than even the people doing it thought it would be. But I feel like the strike was ultimately more in pursuit of indirect political objectives rather than military objectives. In that sense, it has arguably served Israel more than it has served Palestine - Palestine is under seige, likely to lose land, Netanyahu is still in power and while the polls put Netanyahu down they aren't driving meaningful change. It could still swing either way though, we won't know until much later.
Lmao I'm just teasing you, also I haven't been downvoting you but upvoted your last comment. I respect your different opinion and mean no malice.
This is all just noise, not meaningful change.
I'm not sure that victory is really the goal here. Frankly, I think the goal is merely to make war, and in turn make money by facilitating it. Always has been.
