TERF island is at it again, huh?
3·6 months agoOh yeah, Israel was instrumental in Hamas’s rise and sustainment. It’s just that Hamas would never have gotten the opening if Fatah didn’t become either hilariously or sickeningly corrupt, depending on whether you feel like laughing or crying at the absurdism of the world at the given moment.
And now Israel is trying to genocide Palestinians while blaming their own tool, Hamas. What a fucking shitshow.
Every source I’ve seen refers to it as a tricycle. I don’t know what the additional two wheels are for, but they aren’t touching the ground in the pic, so I’m inclined to keep the original description.
Third wheel is in the back.
How is that a response to what I said?
Probably has something to do with Hamas being a bunch of institutionally anti-democratic Islamist shitheads who took power from Fatah, an actual left-wing and secular and at least nominally pro-egalitarian organization, because Fatah was corrupt - only for Hamas to prove themselves as corrupt as Fatah ever was.
But sure, let’s celebrate Hamas and their imposition of women wearing hijab in public and forbidding them to leave without guardians, or the brutal murder of LGBT folk trying to flee, or the complete dismantling of democratic infrastructure in Gaza.
Hamas are fucking shitheads. It’s just that Hamas being shitheads doesn’t justify Israel’s ongoing attempt at genocide.
Don’t worry, I’m sure they were all secret CIA agents /s
I took over the community because it was unmoderated but already active, but I’m not a fan of the ‘x-porn’ name. In any case, this is just a place for historical photographs of interest.
Calling India an ally is a strong word.
But yeah, their behavior is concerning, to say the least.
Oh, thanks! Not sure how that got there
Oh, yes, DDT contributed greatly to the near-total extermination of malaria in numerous countries.
Problem is, the mosquitoes eventually developed a resistance to it, and within 20 years we were back to seeking other solutions.
Part of the reason why WW2 didn’t spark the same level of anti-German backlash is because many who were beginning their political careers during WW1 were horrified at the anti-German bigotry that arose during WW1; and thus when WW2 came around, made sure to portray the WW2 German government as tyrannizing the German people, rather than synonymous with them.
Apparently, though, that wasn’t a concern for Japanese-Americans, who got to ‘enjoy’ the weight of US 1940s racism.
Far fewer, not systematically; mostly unnaturalized immigrants and those with connections to the Italian government. Many of them were released before the war’s end. But yes.
