This is beyond evil. I don't know how any country can support this kind of inhumanity.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I've concluded it's Racism.
It's especially obvious in how German politicians justify their unwavering support of Israel whilst they commit a Genocide using the rationale that Israel is "The Jewish Nation", which is explicitly about etnicity.
Modern closet racists still look at people in the same way as traditional racists - judging them and treating them differently depending on their etnicity - whilst having different lists of "good" etnicities and "bad" etnicities than the traditional racists and by not openly discriminating against etnicities which is not "politically correct" to discriminate against have even for decades passed themselves as anti-racist.
Israel has invested a lot of time and money into projecting an image of being a Western nation surrounded by non-Westerners exactly to leverage the racism in the West, especially in times like now.
It is a western nation surrounded by non Westerners. The great majority of Jewish people that created the colony of Israel were all European to begin with.

The most dominant political faction in Israel in the present day are Orthodox Jews who are mostly descendant from Jews that came from Russia, not Western Europe and they have a lot more children than those with a Western mindset, so they keep increasing as a proportion of the population, which is why Israel politics has kept getting more and more extreme rightwing as time went by.
Further, whilst Europe has in the last half a century actually evolved away from things like the State being tightly coupled with Religion, etnocentrism, militarism and ultra-nationalism, Israel has not only preserved the early XX century mindset, but even in some ways gone in the opposite direction of Europe in social and ideological terms.
Israel is more akin to of a Jewish and not-yet-quite-as-theocratic Iran, than to any modern Western European country.
I don't how anyone in any country with a single iota of empathy can vote for any politicians that are supporting this shit.
There's literally no excuse for this behavior
Because the american political system is hot garbage, and not voting risks something way worse.
I don't know how old you are, but if I had a kid the first year I voted, they'd be voting too by now.
For all but one of those elections my only motivation has been stopping republicans. 08 Obama I was legitimately voting for someone I wanted to be president. Every other one I was just voting against Republicans.
In that time I've seen the democratic party continue to move to the right.
Just last election I watch the DNC pull some bullshit so now billionaires can give 625k, well over the 2.5k that's already a problem, and allows direct cooperation unlike PACs.
This election I watch the DNC and their favorite cancel an entire states primary for something Dems in that state can't control. That state has been boring progressive over neoliberals fo a couple primaries now, and where one of the first states. That's not even getting i to the genocide support.
I'm sorry, I'm too old now, I've seen to much.
I know exactly what "Blue no matter who" leads to. And I've seen that as long as progressives do that, the DNC will keep moving to the right.
I legitimately wish there was a better way to show the DNC I can't support their direction over the past decades, but nothing else has worked.
The current path doesn't fix anything, it just results in both parties moving to the right. And we can't afford either party moving any further to the right.
That is a lot of words to say “I’m okay with a trump presidency”
And that's a small amount of words to say you don't plan ahead...
Like, imagine if someone "lived every day like it's their last".
It sounds great if you never think deeper than what it says on an old woman's decorative pillow.
That's what "blue no matter who" is. It might be a valid strategy if you're not planning ahead. But if you're not planning ahead anyways, why not blow all your money on drugs right now?
Meanwhile the rest of us can plan more than 4 year ahead of time.
Because we have literal decades of history to show what happens if the only standard is the letter next to a politicians name.
But hey, maybe THIS time we'll really learn our lesson. Just like we did after W.
Israel existing long enough to become the villain is wild.
It was never not killing Palestinians and taking their land. Now it's just harder to hide
It only came into existence with terrorist stacks and ethnic cleansing. Indiscriminately murdering entire villages, poisoning wells, burning olive groves and slaughtering livestock that people depended on. Israel is white ISIS that managed to hold on long enough to gain recognition.
Uh what? It was created with evil intentions, and basically from the get go have been a villain to millions and more recently the entire world. This is not a new thing.
No guys. You don't understand. These sounds are only for Hamas to hear, not for the civilians. The drones weren't meant to kill civilians, but if they heard the sounds specifically made for Hamas of course they are terrorists, right? /s
This beggars belief. Why lure the civilians out before killing them, when you can just kill them in their camp without doing so? What could possibly be the point?
So many of these kinds of stories lately, its hard to fact check them all. I mean, I guess it's possible, but I find it tough to believe that Israel is on an extermination campaign let alone one that is excessively cruel and outrageously evil. Maybe I'm naive, but if Israel hopes to present themselves as a first world country and a modern civilization, then they can't honestly expect to get away with that kind of thing.
