Displaced

Yep, there is not a big cabal of pregnant women having concentration caps built to hold white men. Not all men are dangerous, but more are than pregnant women.

I mean that Israel depends on usa support. That could disappear on a whim.

War crimes and normalised genocide is a risk to all countries sovereignty.

You’re looking at the current layout of the middle east. It’s a constantly changing unstable environment. Iran going nuclear is in nobodies interest but Iran.

Not punishing Russia for invasion of Ukraine showed the world that if you don’t want to be subject to larger countries rule, you need nukes. Ukraine is the only country to voluntarily give them up. Look how that turned out. Israel has not signed the non proliferation treaty. All other signatory countries have an obligation to stop them too. Where was that will?

Israel won’t be isolated due to protests. Israel receives support as a vassal state to be useful in the middle east. USA is no longer dependent on the middle east. Europe less so, but still dependent. Israel is therefore less useful. So support will end eventually, irrespective of Israel’s actions. Israel might hasten that end with actions that are politically damaging for the politicians in countries that enable their genocide.

Lol, calling Russia the largest country in the world is a strange way to increase the might of a faded superpower who can’t deploy an army to win against a country much smaller than them.

It is absolutely a big deal and most of Europe offers financial, military and humanitarian assistance above what you’ll see on Lemmy. The difference is the genocide in Palestine is war crime after war crime. Sure, Russia commits and has committed war crimes, but even they follow most of the rules of war. Israel is genocidal. It’s supported by their people. It’s abhorrent.

I think Israel is foolish. They are protected by their international support and not viable on their own. Trump is unpredictable and nationalistic. They could get left out in the cold, like USA did to Ukraine very easily. Netanyahu has is ear. As does Putin and the Saudis. In trumps case, it’ll be what he can get. Israel have less to offer while requiring the funding the others don’t.

And is it really a conspiracy when it’s true?

Or come across as a weirdo, conspiracy theory, antisocial, tech obsessive nerd.

I mean, it’s not inaccurate, but not maybe how to present initially when you meet someone.

You forget that he’s a drug addicted narcissist who’s not as bright as his PR team.

Yeah, I’d agree with that. However, they are also creative or adventurous with graphics and art direction.

Yeah, even look at Sony. Recent franchises include a genetically modified clone orphan living in a land of sentient machines with vivid colours.

A father daughter love story told in the time of a zombie apocalypse. (Recent is doing a lot of lifting, lol,)

A samurai warrior, believed dead in a beautiful version of Japan, who sues the wind for direction. Here it’s more the art direction.

Older hits, instead of using cars, used floating race pods. Some told stories using forward and back through time to allow a player and their inner soul/ghost explore areas differently. Others has you play as a set of androids staring to become sentient and making decisions for or against their programming, for their or others benefit.

The quirkiness has always been there. There is also lots of generic stuff and copied stuff. Wherever art and business collide, that’s always the case.

Well, yes it has. Australia, and a person being assaulted, is the data point you were using to say dissent was not allowed. There have been weekly peaceful protests in Sydney, with police keeping it safe. ACAB may be true but there is varying degrees and Australian police are not the same as american. This was likely a case of police violence towards protest, irrespective of ideology.

All those different countries have people, as you say, with differing views. You’re equating the act of government as being their belief and they have all had rallies and protests. Dissent is not banned by any means. The number of people opposed to genocide or aware of the seriousness of genocide is growing. That is changing the politics.

You should be aware that in Sydney, there have also been antisemitic attacks on child care centres, schools, businesses and there have also been false flag terrorist attacks against Jews too. So, the situation in Australia is nowhere near as clear cut as you are presenting.

Yes, in a thread about global permissions to criticize. As it happens a friend of a friends knows her as she’s active in the green party. She (the victim) was there as a legal observer, and is a lawyer, so very unlikely she was doing anything to warrant the assault.

So, to answer your point, despite the post being about Australia, this thread is about the global response.

I agree, deportation if an EU citizen is unusual. That happened months ago. My point is that the tide has turned, even in Germany. It’s been permitted elsewhere indefinitely. The deportation was a sign of Gen breaking norms to support. There were also indications that of netanyahu came to France or Germany, he wouldn’t be arrested. There were also indications that he would, so he didn’t dare. Just like Putin hasn’t.

In Sydney, where this assault happened there are weekly peaceful pro-palesrinian protests in Hyde park since the October 7th response. So, are you trying to say criticism or Israel is not permitted in Australia, based on this, or just trying to shift the goalposts again?

The league of Arab nations. I think it is a body representing 50ish Islamic nations.

German politicians have until recently been saying that Israel is justified. They are now making statements that Israel has overstepped the line. Most people already see that. However, the point is about whether criticism of Israel is allowed. It is, both by people and politicians. There are also instances of EU(Irish) citizens being deported due to Palestine support. I purposely was pointing to mistakes most staunch supporter, to show that their support is diminishing.

Yes, there has been dancing since the October attack. Exactly my point. Criticism is not banned. Support for Israel is aiding genocide at this point. It seems the countries who support Israel most are those that sell them military supplies.

Yes. Germany have been most supportive of Israel, as they misguidedly want to protect Jews, rather than people from genocide, to overcompensate for past actions. However, even there, the tide has turned and some politicians are making statements against Israel and her actions.

Brazil, Colombia, league of Arab counties, Norway, Sweden. Even Germany and France have expressed concern. The EU as whole is flagging that free trade agreements may be annulled due to war crimes.

I’m many countries, yes, in many ots controversial. In others the political class is against the genocide, including Western countries.

But they’ll have some AI machines instead, so the shareholders will be happy. The shareholders of a different company, but still…

Wear and tear is specifically not allowed to be charged for home rentals in Australia. Damage that is not wear and tear can be I would assume it would also apply for car rentals but I haven’t checked.

He already has, up to this point. In fact, big parts of the party tried to support his competition. They failed. He’s another in AOC mould. He may be good or great but there is an increasing trickle of progressive candidates.

The more that win by being good the more that can win without being so good. He may not be the Dems saviour but he’s a step in the right direction and a worrying sign for Republicans and establishment politicians.

No, I’m pointing out, again, about the reduction of votes they got. They are the only party with the potential for seats to support ending genocide. They had less votes and lost seats.

I’m not saying it was their only issue but it clearly wasn’t an important issue for Australians based on that.

If it was important to Australians, more would have voted for the greens. Australians either didn’t care or supported genocide instead.

It’s not like the USA where it was a hold your nose situation. We have preferential voting. If people cared about other issues, they could still preference the greens for their genocide stance, of they deemed it important. they did not.

Yes, based on many. However, that implies that people don’t care about the genocide, which is what ive repeatedly said.

If you want to be more precise, they cared about everything else more, which is a different way of saying they don’t care about it.
