Did tagging people break with the update? When I type @ nothing shows up.
Both sides have said the same thing and offered peace deals that the other side is unwilling to accept, doesn’t really matter if neither side wants to negotiate. Sucks that the civilians just have to suffer while two assholes fight it out.
Unbroken ampersands? hallelujah
Yeah, I assume in general that nothing on the internet ever goes away. At least makes it somewhat more annoying though.
i did the thing that means it’s probably less archived (by editing all the replies before deleting), but i assume some of it probably remains out there. Nothing I can do about that.
One thing i miss about Lemmy is shittymorph tbf
Glad I deleted everything on there. fucking hell.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO :(
I’m from Hong Kong. People have been sentenced to prison for wearing shirts with some of the words I have said. lol.
I’m good having my data stolen by one country, don’t need to involve a second lol
He’s a Russian, can’t have reasonably expected this lol
The June 4th Tiananmen Square vigil, though banned since COVID and the NSL, was a HK tradition (and elsewhere of course, though most significantly in HK) that would be good to replicate here.
Hey now, give Nixon the credit he deserves for also making things worse.
Hamas is a real government, and is in charge of Gaza — the PA is not in charge of Gaza. It is also a terrorist organisation, and is also basically not democratically elected. But the people of Gaza should not be held responsible for their government’s folly and terrorism. But it is important to recognise that de facto Hamas is the government of Gaza.
Netanyahu is fucked, probably… but it is worth noting that he has gotten out of shit like this before. And a lot of Israel supports this war, while also hating Netanyahu — hence “end of the war”.
https://time.com/6333781/israel-hamas-poll-palestine/ According to this article from earlier last week, “57.5% of Israeli Jews said that they believed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were using too little firepower in Gaza, 36.6% said the IDF was using an appropriate amount of firepower”.
In my opinion, that’s something that is even more significant than the fact that as long as the war continues, Netanyahu will be in power unless he gets assassinated (which, given the region’s history, is certainly possible to be fair, but usually comes from the right). Sure, replace him. Gantz will still pursue this war, Ben Gvir would probably nuke Gaza if he could help it, and a lot of MKs would still want something like this. Hell, even Lapid says there can’t be Hamas in Gaza after this. Every politician (except probably from Labour / Israeli Arab parties) will support this war, because the people demand it.
Israel’s clearly taking this war in a different direction from usual, unfortunately — based on what they’re saying at least, it seems the intent is to eradicate Hamas and deal with the consequences later
lol there are studies on it done for Russia, Ukraine, UK, Dutch UN troops who intervened in Srebrenica…
Ukraine has been defending itself. Dutchbat we’re trying and failing to maintain peace and instead watched as a massacre happened.
Yes, the US has more statistics, as it often does for psychology because many people don’t treat it seriously. That doesn’t mean the problem doesn’t exist.
I read “brutish” as “british” on first glance
