derbis, in Israeli public figures accuse judiciary of ignoring incitement to genocide in Gaza

Huge resources have been devoted to tracking down people, mostly anonymous and with little reach, over speech that authorities interpreted as supporting Hamas, the letter notes. By late November, 269 investigations had been opened and 86 indictments filed.

“It is quite amazing the number of criminal investigations, when it comes to Palestinian citizens of Israel, most of them completely anonymous, many of them almost with no audience,” Sfard said. “The gap between that and the freedom and impunity for those who advocate all kinds of things – ethnic cleansing, killing civilians, bombarding civilian areas, and even genocide – doesn’t square up, and that’s something for the authorities to explain.”

This right here. Don’t let anyone tell you Israel is not an apartheid state with separate sets of rules based on who you are.

dangblingus, in Video of Palestinians stripped, forced to sit outside by IDF soldiers raises ire

Holy fuck Lemmy has been overrun by conservative astroturfers.

millie,

Specifically Beehaw, it looks like. Ugh.

NeuronautML,

Why would they be conservative ? I do agree with you that this thread is full of people trying to justify the unjustifiable, but let me remind you the party in power providing its full unquestionable support for Israel is the Democrat party, spearheaded by Biden, a Democrat president, who is very, very happy and supportive with all this. So being a douche is a bit all over the place if you ask me. You can’t necessarily point at douchebaggery and instantly realize it’s conservative.

Firstly this is a non-story of try-hard outrage. Secondly, the real concern of bombing was addressed just today by Biden who sees through Bibi’s ultra-conservative agenda and publicly criticised him for it.

I wonder if it’ll get to a point where some of the world leaders still backing Israel financially and with munitions actually have to do something. Like, is there any amount of cruelty and atrocity at this point that they won’t fund? Does it literally have to get all the way to concentration camps? Overt industrialized systematic genocide? Where’s their line?

tryptaminev,

The line is where the people in their own countries force them to stop supporting Israel while atrocities continue. This is why speaking up, in your communities, on social media, by joining protests and by boycotting companies that support the IDF, is so important. People outside Israel can not make the IDF stop. But we can pressure our governments to deny any further support for Israel or better yet sanction key players, to pressure Israel into stopping.

Where’s their line?

Based on WW2:

  • Cruelty and atrocity: nice…
  • Concentration camps: nothing to see here, everyone has them
  • Systematic genocide: who hasn’t done some genociding at one point or another?
  • Overt industrialized systematic genocide: …only if they attack you first.

Luckily we now have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights… which everyone is ignoring. Oh well, we tried.

Weird how US news sources always feel the need to mention children, not even sure how it’s relevant here?

stripped them down into their unmentionables in the blistering cold, which is inhumane if you ask me.

About 20⁰C in the shade and they were sitting down in the sunlight.

Weather data

tryptaminev,

your own picture shows 16°C and the days in question had 13-15°C in the morning and evening.

If you sit idle without clothes for hours even in 17°C you will get cold as fuck. If it would have been 5°C this could have caused serious medical issues. If it would have been freezing, some of them could have reached life threatening hypothermia.

The term is perfectly viable in the context.

sqgl, (edited )

If it would have been 5°C this could ave caused serious medical issues. it would have been freezing, some of them could have reached life threatening hypothermia.

If it would have been hailing they could have been knocked unconscious.

If there was a hurricane they could have been dashed against the concrete walls.

If there was a meteorite they could have been pulverised.

If they didn’t have dicks they could have been women.

If they were 5 years old they would have been children.

If they had long necks and four legs they could have been giraffes.

tryptaminev,

the comment criticised that it was refered to as cold. I gave example as to why in this circumstance 16°C are to be considered cold.

sqgl,

16⁰C is not the temperature they were sitting in. What is wrong with you? How many times must you be told?

sqgl, (edited )

your own picture shows 16°C

No, it shows 21⁰C. Why are you looking at the minimum temperature? That is totally irrelevant.

You can see from the photo that it is the middle of a winter’s day (sun is slightly lowered in the sky in winter at midday, not directly overhead).

On Thursday, a video emerged of men rounded up, forced to stand in formation, and then to sit down in the street

So let’s get even more accurate. That particular Thursday it was 22⁰C in the shade. Perfect temperature to be sitting out in the sun comfortably as it happens.

There were dreadful bombings earlier and yet you want us to focus on this non-story.

DdCno1,

Thanks for the fact check.

Devi, in The Nigerian teens clueless on computers but aiming to reboot

I used to teach ESOL students and this is quite common. Very accomplished students who had often come over for some quite skilled jobs, but hadn’t used a mouse before. It’s hard to remember how odd it is as a control system when you’ve used them from childhood.

Often they’d used phones or tablets though so they’d all be touching the screens.

A year ago, China lifted draconian COVID restrictions that were an anvil around the neck of the economy and placed unprecedented controls on a society that, for the previous four decades, had grown accustomed to expanding personal freedoms, not shrinking them

Definitely not true for folks who use digital privacy tools

Sure, it's inevitable. China is so great and prosperous that one day the people of Taiwan will see reason and enthusiastically petition to join it. This will obviously happen some day, so there's no need to do anything but sit back and wait for it, President Xi.

CJOtheReal, in A year after China ended its harsh COVID policies, it’s struggling to rebound

I mean, their vaccine is just saltwater and spit just like the Russian one. And they didn’t let anyone catch it at all (or at least they tried) wich means there isn’t a natural resistance either.

So in the end they completely fucked their economy (and the economy of other countries with it… But thats a different story) and just postponed the unavoidable outbreak of covid making it essentially worse than any other country. Oh and thanks to the new outbreaks covid has definitely mutated a lot…
