Nationalism and religion breeds terror.

taanegl, in EU data regulator bans personalised advetising on Facebook and Instagram

“Get tracked” sounds like a cyberpunk slur. Like “get tracked, ya gonk!”

Pyr_Pressure, in U.N. votes to end US embargo on Cuba; US and Israel oppose

What is the reason for the US still doing an embargo? Hasn’t it been like 60 years or whatever?

Omega_Haxors, in Don’t fall into the trap of ‘picking sides’ over Gaza: Hamas’s attacks were unconscionable, razing Gaza to the ground would be abhorrent. In both cases, basic humanity is at stake --- [Opinion]

Yet another reason why fedditde needs to be defedditerated, jesus fucking christ can you guys have a normal one for like 3 minutes?

leetnewb, in Netanyahu declares holy war against Gaza, citing the Bible

Can anybody translate the video?

GiddyGap,

There’s a voiceover.

RocketBoots,

They’re asking for a translation.

squaresinger,

The poster before has a point. The translation in the video is pretty damning, but there is no real way to know if the translation is truthful if all you have is that video and not the ability to understand the original.

Nonameuser678, in Drivers in Argentina wait in long lines to fill up the tanks as presidential election looms

If Argentina votes in the anarcho-capitalist guy who gets policy advice from his dogs (technically one dog that’s been cloned several times) then this will really take the cake for darkest timeline.

So do I. Why? Because I can.

livus, in Gaza, babies in incubators at risk as hospitals run out of fuel, UN says

This is heartbreaking. If you've ever had an incubator baby in your family, you know how incredibly tiny and vulnerable they are and how it feels like a miracle or gift that this child you love is alive.

livus, in Kenyan businesses are dropping the world’s favorite mobile money service
@livus@kbin.social avatar

The shift follows the deployment of 1,400 paramilitary-trained field officers

Which in turn follows Kenya taking on another big chunk of sovereign debt despite (or maybe because of) having trouble paying off its existing debt. Which has not exactly been universally popular with voters.

cwagner,

It’s more the “paramilitary-trained” tax collectors I find a bit hilarious ;)

shiveyarbles,

Lol images of collectors rappelling into households to demand taxes

cwagner,

That’s exactly the kind of thing I imagined. In camo, with green and black face paint.

livus,

@cwagner I see why it could be funny. Given the potential impact I find it kind of disturbing. They actually were trained a bit though, it's a thing.

“Near”… If that is near I’d start running when they say “In the vicinity of”

Drusas, in Microfinance was meant to help the world’s poor, but in Cambodia, it’s plunging people deeper into debt

Use Kiva, provide your own low-interest microfinance loans to individuals and their businesses directly.

dumdum666, (edited ) in About 100,000 protesters join pro-Palestinian march through London

So where is the „we are being silenced in the West / western media“ crowd, all of the sudden?

sqgl, in Israel Closes Al Jazeera Facilities

BBC admitted it was ‘wrong’ to report that Israel struck the Gaza hospital.

I doubt AJ will do likewise. A few years ago I caught them lying to discredit g20 protestors.

Five, (edited )

To their credit, the g20 video they streamed alongside their false commentary is enough to discredit their interpretation of events.

All journalism should be subject to verification, especially news from capitalist or authoritarian regimes. It should be noted that the BBC did not say they were wrong that Israel struck the Al-Ahli Hospital, only that they were wrong to report that Israel struck the Al-Ahli Hospital.

Responsible journalism holds itself to particular standards, such as having reliable sources, or multiple independent indications of evidence. The BBC journalist was speaking live on air, off the cuff, and had no way to reliably verify the source of the explosion besides his gut instincts. Meanwhile Al Jazeera has done significantly more work reporting on this issue, including digital forensics and interviews with military specialists. They won’t retract their statement because it holds up to the highest of journalistic standards. While Jon Donnison was wrong to report what he did, his intuitions appear to have been ultimately correct.

It should be noted that Israel’s internal reporting does not appear to follow these journalism norms. Arab and Muslim reporters are outraged by the lack of journalistic standards behind some of the reports that have been widely spread to incite public outrage in against Palestinians, when their reporting is held to comparatively impossible standards.

While Al Jazeera Arabic and the state of Qatar have a justifiably bad reputation, Al Jazeera English is staffed with veteran reporters from Britain, America, and Australia who have distinguished themselves in their field. They consistently outperform the BBC on most metrics of journalism when reporting on anything besides internal Qatari affairs. This is not to say they are flawless or do not make mistakes, only as you continue to hold them accountable, consider the context in which they are reporting and the norms they should be held to.

sqgl,

To their credit, the g20 video they streamed alongside their false commentary is enough to discredit their interpretation of events.

It isn’t “to their credit”. They slipped up by including the visual evidence which proves their reporter lied. The reporter was on site, not in a studio.

The hospital was not hit by a missile. The car park was. There was no way 500 people were sleeping there. The footage was available the same day.

In addition, AJ streamed live footage of missiles from Gaza including the one which turned around and (presumably) hit the hospital.

Meanwhile zero images of the hospital being hit have been released to this day.

I doubt Israeli newspapers are any better but AJ messed up big time.

Five,

I’m disappointed that you’re replicating the flawed asymmetric standards of Israel in this conversation. I’ve linked to sources for my statements, but you’ve made controversial claims while putting the burden on me to find what sources you’re using to bolster your confidence. If your goal is to signify your ‘team,’ this conversation is over. If you would like to try and build a shared reality where we can agree on facts, your lack of respect for me is harming that goal.

sqgl, (edited )

You are the one treating this like football teams with your whataboutism re the Israeli newspaper.

Nevertheless I responded by saying I doubt Israeli newspapers are better but you ignore that part.

And you characterised the g20 report slip-up as commendable because in your mind they deliberately planted the truth as an Easter Egg for internet sleuths.

I doubt I am in a discussion with someone who is impartial here. Blocked. No need to aggravate each other further.
