Is that how it is on .world?? On my instance and the ones I browse I find it to be ten times higher quality and massively less aggressive than Reddit.

When people talk shit about journalism or the news, I feel like they don't realize that this is what it should be, confronting people in power hiding from the truth of their actions. Genocidal fucks usually need to at least appear to be doing 'the right thing' for their people, but the right questioning can make it clear what they are doing.
I lol'd, this is great and too fucking accurate.
Are you kidding me? You are saying the Palestinians don't care because they don't have an Iron Dome? Do you know how much money it costs to operate something like that? Israel has received billions of dollars through military aid from western powers, Palestinian people don't even have enough food or medicine and you expect them to build a multi-million dollar defense system?
Throwing a shoe is just a great move in the situation, completely logical imo, and from what I've heard supposedly extra insulting in some cultures. If you are referring to the Bush shoe-throwing incident. Eating a flag just seems bad for your body and gives a weird impression as a symbolic act in my view.
It provided links to two videos posted on social media that it said show "155mm white phosphorus artillery projectiles being used, apparently as smokescreens, marking, or signaling". Both show scenes near the Israel-Lebanon border, it said.
HRW doesn't claim it was used directly as a weapon. IDF denies using it at all.
Is it possible Israel is able to kill more people because they are funded by western powers and use missiles, airstrikes, tanks and sniper rifles while Palestinians throw rocks and homemade rockets? And you are also saying a surface level observation which gives moral superiority to Israel.
The thing that sucks even more about it is no one even has to 'allow' that type of trash to run it, it's just what tends to happen if the profit motive is the main driver of people's behavior.
You probably already know since you are posting here, but there has been a movement for some time for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israeli companies and others that support Israel.
The government of Israel has literally helped fund Hamas to keep Palestinian people divided, they have admitted as much. Being against a government like that, that has committed atrocities for decades, and supporting the victims of these atrocities, the Palestinian people, is not antisemitism. I support the Jewish people, I have kindness and love for people of all sorts, and think that the slaughter of thousands of innocent people in their homes in response to a terror attack is wrong.
You can usually ask for more time with a book if that is a real deal breaker. That has been an option at libraries I've used anyway. Sometimes they can get books they don't have if you request them too. Some even mail them to your house. I'm not really trying to convince you or anything I just think libraries are awesome haha.
That is probably a part of why I do comment more here, I would see comment sections on reddit sometimes already with hundreds of comments and just felt like I was trying to slip into a convo that had already been well established or whatever, here I feel more likely to comment because the sections will be sparser and my comments will actually get replies from the users in the thread.
