Rozz, in Why does China claim almost the entire South China Sea?

It’s in the name

Really though, I don’t know. What’s the term for a narcissistic country?

jarfil,

What’s the term for a narcissistic country?

Country. Otherwise the land gets claimed by a different narcissistic country.

Rozz,

Fair enough

deft, in As Gazans Scrounge for Food and Water, Hamas Sits on a Rich Trove of Supplies

This is so fucking dumb and all of you eating it up is sad.

dumdum666,

„I don’t like what the article says, so I try to paint it in a bad light“

deft,

Lol but the article isn’t painting anything in a bad light? Just me?

Gaza is in this position because of Gaza right? And Hamas isn’t helping because they’re bad guys ooh spooky.

Doesn’t mention Israel forcing Palestine to this point with restricting aid and overall self autonomy. Doesn’t matter this crisis is happening because Israel is attacking and also not allowing citizens to leave Gaza. None of that matters.

Palestine has been forced to this point by Israel. Hamas is doing what a fighting force would do which is shitty but is more justifiable than what Israel is doing.

So fuck off stupid, this article is trash

So do I. Why? Because I can.

alyaza, in Spain's report on Catholic Church sex abuse estimates victims could number in hundreds of thousands

the sheer scale here strikes me as unsurprising in Spain given the mount of power it had in the country for most of the 1900s and the authorities governing the country. perfect recipe for incredible amounts of unreported and unprevented sexual abuse.

Car, in Why does China claim almost the entire South China Sea?

There’s no world police, so unless other countries dispute China’s claims and back them up with some sort of weight, the region is theirs by default.

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

For both Israel and Hamas, those numbers are just statistics - an unfortunate, but acceptable sacrifice to get their political ends. And the rest of the world has a limited capacity to grieve.

Wealth and power, of course. The same things that have motivated imperialism all over the world, for thousands of years.

Why does Microsoft buy up patents and pull monopolisation tricks?!

Nah, China and Russia lost respect for the US when they elected Donald Trump. Imagine having to treat that baboon like a peer. International hostilities is the obvious outcome.

abbadon420,

Everyone has lost respect for the US due to the baboon

they wouldn’t have to scramble for food if Israel didn’t cut off supplies, blockade, and bomb them relentlessly, Times.

I_Has_A_Hat,

Say Mexico was starving. Say aid was sent to them again and again but every time, the Mexican government snatched a large chunk of it up and hoarded it. Say then that the Mexican government decides to attack the US and the US cut off aid. The Mexican government still have huge stocks of food and supplies from the years of aid that was meant for the people, but now no new aid is coming in.

Is the US to blame for Mexicans starving? Or is it the Mexican government who refuse to distribute their stockpiles to their people?

to be accurate it would have to be the us says the mexican government snatched a large chunk and horded it. also mexico would also have had to not be able to elect a government for close to 20 years. also the us government would have propped up the people hoarding everything like netanyahu did for hamas.

I think the last point is the most important: Netanyahu is so responsible for all of this that I think his rhetoric around a “second war of independence” is all designed around distracting people.

I mean, for fuck’s sake, last March we were all talking about how he and his party were trying to do away with government oversight so he could get out of criminal corruption probes.

This guy is literally using the people of Israel and Palestine for his own gains. Hamas literally exists because of him.

ram, in Israel intensifies ground and air strikes on nearly cut-off Gaza while UN denounces 'war crimes' in conflict for first time and warns many will soon starve to death
@ram@bookwormstory.social avatar

Now with outbound communications nearly completely cut off, how often will we get updates on what’s happening on the ground? On the crimes against humanity Israel’s committing?

I hope for the best, I really do, but I feel so helpless. I’ve already contacted my representatives and told them they need to do their part or I’ll be rescinding my support. I’m vocal within my community as well. But beyond that, there’s so little I can do but bear witness to what is happening.

It feels this way with every shitty thing we find out about in the last however many years. And the answer always seems to be vote harder!!1!

detectivemittens,

That’s why they cut off outbound communications. If you don’t photograph or video them doing war crimes, then they’re not committing them, right?

DdCno1,

Literally every single war involves cutting the enemy’s communication. This is not an unusual thing at all.

Elderos,

Is this a war tho

TexMexBazooka,

Yes

This is humanity. We are animals and nothing special.

Wow

liv,

We are “social animals” though. It’s normal for the social animals to attempt to regulate what each other does and how they treat others in the group.

You see this in apes, elephants, whales, etc.

This is humanity. Don’t think you’re better than them because you live in America and pay others to do the work for you via tax.

t3rmit3, (edited )

Nah, don’t try to “both sides” this; they’re actively pushing this into a genocide as we speak, and most of the world is sitting back and watching in horror while people like you try to minimize it.

“Sitting at home, looking on in horror and unable to do anything, you’re just as bad as the people literally murdering thousands.”

Fuck the Israeli government, and all who support them.
