  • Hamas uses entire cities. Millions of people.

    Can you explain exactly how? How can someone sat in their home above a tunnel they did not create or possibly even know about be a human shield? That is meaningfully different to being strapped to the front of a car or forced into a booby trapped tunnel at gunpoint, no?

  • Four dead and more in hospital with methanol poisoning after drinking 'free shots' in Laos

    Jump

  • Feeling pretty lucky that the "free shots" when I went were apparently actually ethanol. Better to be careful but when you're a few drinks deep, a little high and floating down a river on a tire inner tube, bad decisions do happen.

    In Vang Vieng, stick to the beer and avoid any of the swings, slides and other bullshit at these riverside bars. I saw one guy literally in a full body cast because of this shit.

  • And for fucks sake stop accusing the IDF of using human shields. That happened like literally five times.

    It seems pretty reasonable to accuse them of something they have done repeatedly.

    And this isn't "minding their own business near something we want to bomb," like the claims against Hamas, these are cases of people literally and directly used as shields.

  • Now what political party does this remind me of... hmmm....

  • "Conservatives aren't racist"

  • Sure, then: Designed to conflate non English speakers with illegal immigrants. Still racist.

  • "Conservatives aren't racist"

    Jump

  • But even ignoring the hyperbole (ie never again = much less) it is still clearly implying that people who don't speak English are illegals. Of course that is dehumanizing. And obviously false, designed to conflate non English speakers with people who crossed the border illegally.

  • "Conservatives aren't racist"

    Jump

  • Since when are illegals the only people who don't speak English?

    They're not.

    So if you think deporting "illegals" will mean you don't have to hear any Spanish etc, you are actually conflating this with deporting basically all foreigners and that is racist. All foreigners are not "illegals"

  • US finds that Israel is not impeding assistance to Gaza; aid groups disagree

    Jump

  • The US set out specific criteria, such as 350 aid trucks need to enter every day.

    This is what makes this especially infuriating. If you wanted to just say it's fine in a month as long as they "tried," don't put a firm number on it. If you do put the number and yet you don't care whether they actually meet it, you are treating us all with absolute contempt. Like we're fucking morons who don't understand how numbers or concrete demands work.

    And that's before we consider the moral implications. Did Biden stop caring whether people are starving in the past month? There is no excuse and I hope he ends up on trial for his role in this before he dies.

  • U.S. says it won't change policy on arms transfers to Israel despite 'dire' Gaza humanitarian crisis

    Jump

  • Ah so you're a troll

  • U.S. says it won't change policy on arms transfers to Israel despite 'dire' Gaza humanitarian crisis

    Jump

  • I agree. It's just not relevant to this discussion

  • U.S. says it won't change policy on arms transfers to Israel despite 'dire' Gaza humanitarian crisis

  • Why would you assume I thought Trump was going to change anything?

  • U.S. says it won't change policy on arms transfers to Israel despite 'dire' Gaza humanitarian crisis

  • Yes, let's. Or is he not president anymore? Who the fuck else should we blame

  • It's been over a year since Israeli government officials announced that they were going to starve Gaza. They hold up aid for no reason. They massacred people collecting flour. They destroyed aid convoys they knew about and coordinated with. They have been doing exactly what they said they would and all America has done is make them pinky swear it would get better.

    They will do nothing about this. Not because they will believe the lies Israel tells, but because they fundamentally do not care.

  • Trump win means ‘time has come’ to annex parts of West Bank, Israeli minister says

    Jump

  • I really didn't.

    Edit: meaning I am not American and if I was I would have voted Harris, not that Trump is not significantly worse.

  • Trump win means ‘time has come’ to annex parts of West Bank, Israeli minister says

    Jump

  • Over 50% of the god damn country voted for a man who has so many major, should-be career ending flaws we don't even need to list them anymore. If he kicked a puppy it wouldn't even make the top 10 worst things he's done. The democrats lost to the stupidest president of all time, a man who's entire economic policy revolves around tariffs that he fundamentally doesn't even understand and who cannot seem to open his mouth without lying.

    ....and you're here dunking on the people trying to oppose America's blatant complicity in genocide. Well, you sure showed them.

  • Far-right Israeli minister orders preparations for West Bank annexation

    Jump

  • "Yes, my candidate is Mussolini, but her opponent is Hitler! Clearly a vote for Mussolini is better than a vote for Hitler!"

    Why would you be criticising Mussolini if you didn't secretly want Hitler to win?! I cannot possibly come up with any other explanation. You must be trying to trick us.

  • Israeli soccer fans attacked in Amsterdam, with five reportedly hospitalized and dozens of suspects arrested

    Jump

  • You mean antagonizing European football fans can result in violence?

  • Trump says there's 'no price tag' for his mass deportation plan

    Jump

  • So it is going to be incredibly expensive to remove immigrants and... err.... reduce GDP? This is the man America trusts with the economy because something something tariffs something something eggs
