I left Reddit much too late. I guess some habits can be hard to break. Then I spent some time on kbin/mbin/fedia, but I’ll be staying here.
Btw I’m a non-binary trans person [they/she/he].
Hahaha no, this one was addressed. I’m talking about the second comment, the one with the link of Zionist editing of wikipedia. I know, should have said “the way you keep ignoring my input is so funny”
The way you ignore my input is so funny.
That does not answer my question but that’s ok I suppose?
Anyways, this list does not include many Israeli lobbies, newspapers etc from what I see. Times of Israel is not there. Impressive.
I’ll add a relevant comment I did earlier so I’ll just copy-paste it:
Also, please keep in mind when using wiki links on anything (even loosely) related to Israel, that it has been edited by Zionists. This part of wiki doesn’t work like the rest. See a 2 min video below from13 years ago.

This article is based on a Guardian report and has some quotes. Is there something specific you find conspiratorial? Do you think for example it is unfair of them to say:
Smotrich has called for the destruction of Gaza, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from the strip, and its annexation as well.
And there’s been no hints for participating any further
They have US military bases there and that’s why Lebanon made that threat, and more specifically Nasrallah said:
“The Cypriot government must be warned that opening Cypriot airports and bases for the Israeli enemy to target Lebanon means that the Cypriot government has become part of the war and the resistance (Hezbollah) will deal with it as part of the war” [source]
Also you said:
Imagine yelling at someone who’s only ever done positive things for your people.
I’m sorry but this example is irrelevant. The threat does not come from Palestine, it comes from Lebanon.
I wish reporting like this would bother to define what they mean when they say children.
I’m pretty sure that they define children like the rest of the planet does.

I think if they do a full-blown invasion, they’ll find out that Hezbollah (and quite possibly the regular Lebanese military) is a much bigger, experienced, and sophisticated (…)
Oh they know well. Israel has invaded Lebanon twice (at least?) and both times they failed in a humiliating way.
Cyprus was caught off guard by comments from Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday that the island could be a target if it permitted Israel to use its military facilities in the event of an attack on Lebanon.
So Cyprus was caught off guard because they were told “if we get attacked from your soil, you could be a target”. This doesn’t sound very complicated, why are they perplexed?
That’s always what this has been about.
I would add Zionist settler colonialism in the mix
A two front war is never a good idea
Not too sure how bombing civilians including children on a strip of land for 8-9 months qualifies as war, if you think about it.
According to IOM, 2023 was the
Deadliest Year on Record for Migrants with Nearly 8,600 Deaths in 2023
And BBC talks about 43 deaths in 3 years?
The 15 incidents we analysed - dated May 2020-23 - resulted in 43 deaths.
I’m not denying they analysed 15 incidents, I’m just saying that the number of deaths presented in this article is far to low, to be close to the actual number.
It looks like this BBC article has very misleading numbers. Please see:
The UN Refugee Agency - One year on from the tragic shipwreck off Pylos, Greece - 14 June 2024
The boat, carrying up to 750 people according to testimonies, capsized on 14 June 2023. Only 104 people were rescued and 82 bodies were retrieved, leaving hundreds missing.
Since the Pylos shipwreck, more lives have been lost in the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, since 14 June last year, IOM’s Missing Migrants Project has recorded at least 1,516 deaths and disappearances on the Central Mediterranean Route, with 175 recorded on the Eastern Med. In 2023, 3,155 people lost their lives or went missing trying to cross the Mediterranean, while so far in 2024 the toll has reached 923.
Yes, it was graphic design all along.
I honestly don’t understand where you got this from. Listening to this article lead me to very different conclusions. That we were trained to be wasteful after the invention of plastic by big corporations. That when people started, many decades ago, understanding this and wanted to make corporations “clean their sh*t”, the corporations managed to shift the public narrative and put the focus/blame on us. And that we still live in a world that these corporations are actively influencing policies through lobbying for their monetary profit.
So consequently I cannot agree with you when you say
How could we not see that a symbol would want to put plastic in our balls?
We are the dumbest for not noticing that all along.
because it’s not a matter of being smart or dumb. Smart people are not immune to being manipulated.
Global directly-anthropogenic CO2 emissions - things we measure and attribute to countries - have been flat in the period 2019-23 (except for covid dip)
Could you provide a link (or more) that support this claim?
The article posted here tells a very different story and has many links to support what they say.
When combined with 2023’s increase of 3.0 ppm, 2022 to 2024 has seen the largest two-year jump in the May peak of the Keeling Curve in the NOAA record. For Scripps, the two-year jump tied a previous record set in 2020.
“Not only is CO2 now at the highest level in millions of years, it is also rising faster than ever. Each year achieves a higher maximum due to fossil-fuel burning, which releases pollution in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,” said Ralph Keeling, director of the Scripps CO2 program that manages the institution’s 56-year-old measurement series.
The record two-year growth rate observed from 2022 to 2024 is likely a result of …
This was a very informative article, but I have to admit I don’t agree with it’s framing of the problem.
No doubt, migration has enforced ethnocentric tendencies, and this is reflected in elections. Migration is a problem created by capitalism in a two ways.
Briefly I could say, capitalism has destroyed democracy, or at least any reminiscence of democracy that representative democracy had, so the road has been cleared for quite some time now, for neo-fascist tendencies to be represented in local and EU parliaments.
I think talking about migration without mentioning capitalism or neoliberalism, gives a distorted picture of what’s been happening in Europe, during the last decades.
Just to clarify that greenwishing was not a typo:
The term “greenwishing” was coined in 2019 by long-time investment adviser Duncan Austin to characterize the failure of the “sustainable business” model to materially contribute to climate change mitigation…
I allowed myself to call it that way, because the author has incorporated in this text the business narrative of climate change.
Thank you! The funny thing is that I was just reading it and wrote a relevant comment there. So I’ll just copy-paste it:
But we now appear to be living through the precise moment when the emissions that are responsible for climate change are starting to fall, according to new data by BloombergNEF, a research firm. This projection is in roughly in line with other estimates, including a recent report from Climate Analytics.
First of I wouldn’t trust BloombergNEF for environmental sustainability estimates, only for business expansion advice.
Second would be that what the actual report of Climate Analytics says is:
In this report, we find there is a 70% chance that emissions start falling in 2024 if current clean technology growth trends continue and some progress is made to cut non-CO2 emissions. This would make 2023 the year of peak emissions – meeting the IPCC deadline.
This is a greenwishing NYT article, at best.

Is the study they cite legitimate?
It sounds legit cause it comes from NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. It looks like Scripps has been doing this kind of monitoring, since the 1950’s.
Apart from that to my understanding CO2 emissions are just skyrocketing. Sorry, but for some reason the NYT article doesn’t open for me, so I don’t know what it says.
What’s that claim of “dramatic drop” in arms shipments?
In the following article I see a dramatic increase. In the budget at least.

Am I missing something or Israel bluntly lying again?
