What kind of argument is that? "Fuck the internet if it can be used by terrorists". By that logic the US should kill their internet because right wing terrorists can use it to organize attack on minorities, women, and political adversaries.]
What they'll most likely come up with is monitoring all communications and subverting encryption. A nation under digital subjugation. How is this even remotely OK?
Anti Commercial-AI license
Israel's current leader passed a bill that gives him authority to ignore courts. He's a dictator wannabe facing multiple corruption charges, hence the genocide in Gaza. Now that the genocide is coming to the end, he wants to go to war with Hezbollah so he can stay in power and avoid those charges with his immunity. It's a typical fascist state. From their Zionist ideology to genocide.
Is the genocide coming to an end because the international community stepped in, or because there aren't any Palestinians left? I've been away from the internet and haven't seen the news lately
To some extent, both and also local pressure. While Israel publicly continues to claim they don't care what the world says about them, the isolation is hurting them massively. And with US elections coming up, their only true ally wants to end the war now to stop bleeding votes with his support for genocide.
They are also destroyed 80% of all buildings in Gaza to the point it's unlivable without full reconstruction. I'm sure they will push to steal the land next.
And there is also local pressure. Everyone with eyes or who is not paid by Israel lobby knows that Israel is the reason hostages are not home yet. While Hamas is holding them, there have been 2 ceasefire proposals guaranteeing all hostage return/Palestinian civilian release from prison that Hamas accepted and Israel rejected. So people are protesting in the streets on masse there both for him to step down and to stop killing their hostages.
What kind of a world are we building for our children?
