Interesting thread here.
I don't like this word, like "terrorists", "regime", or others that have been abused(, the so-called uyghur "genocide" also comes to mind, despicable liars working against world peace/collaboration). A massacre is enough of an accusation to act, Israel says that it isn't a genocide because the rate of killing isn't quick enough, w/e...
On Myanmar, a lot of things happened, especially a month ago, wiki article :
The only other two specific communities i found about Palestine-Israel are https://lemm.ee/c/israelicrimes and https://kbin.social/m/Israel, the other communities that could eventually accept such posts are all leftists, so i'm posting in this echo chamber, but since lemmy has more users and comments than in July (source), it may change one day.
Also accusations of intentional targeting(, like these, another journalist, new one).
We remember WW1 in France as the most atrocious waste of life our country went though, yet it was "only" 4% :
That's 1% per year.
20.000 deaths in Palestine is huge ! And (almost )only civilians/innocents. It's also 1% of their population of 2M, but only in two months
Title from :
Source for the 16 hospitals here.
The same article from the Times of Israel also says that :
Source for the 900.000
Don't forget all these talks about russian false flags in february 2022(, e.g.), we(sterners) are well-placed to know what's up :
As a reminder, you don't negotiate with terrorists.
But it may be a threat solely in order to obtain the prisoners without releasing any palestinian hostages in exchange. At this point though, i don't think it matters whether they keep the israelis prisoners or not.
Yeah, it's just a resolution, the list of countries was what interested me, always the same opponents(, since we're also the main countries behind such measures).
Hordes of drones flying over the city in order to find any possible infraction, don't you want to feel safe ? (/s obv.)
In any case, we don't get to decide, it's our so-called representatives who'll take the decision, with or without campaigns of communication.
At least in a real democracy, if the whole population agree to it, then i'd conform more readily to our choice even if i personally disagreed, but we're not in a democracy, in which the demos has the cratos.
We're in a constitutional republic, and our representatives are democratically elected, once they take the power from the people to decide in their stake it's not a democracy, such as the one that once existed in Athens(, only for citizens, but the logic is the same).
Having the possibility to cancel any decision with a strong enough popular petition would be a first step, yet it'd be unimaginable for our "democratic" leaders, because the population needs to be directed, and shouldn't be listened to. We're ignorant while they know(, whose fault is it since we follow ? we obtain the population we deserve), people are stupid(, but we never include ourselves, we all have the same potential), we have to trust our leaders, etc.
In truth, we know what's desirable, and anyone is apt to debate on whether or not this aim is indeed desirable. We only need to have experts and do experiments to test their predictions, because we don't know anything about the technical details, almost as much as our leaders who trust these experts without obtaining the promised results sometimes(, preliminary experiments won't prevent all mistakes, but at least it'd be our mistake, not theirs, we rarely can't go back on our decisions).
Well, whatever, just to say that the decision isn't up to us(, and consent is manufactured).
A (quite long )t.l.;d.r. for those who may be interested
First album, from a pulsar emission :)
Yep, here
They also got this list of signatories there
Scott Ritter also comes to mind during the 90s in Iraq, a long list probably exist somewhere, and isn't finished since our journalists won't stop their lies and there's no opposition apart from them(, Internet perhaps, but they're putting laws on it).
Interesting.
Here's another one about Mexico :
B.t.w., a new candidate to succeed to (the very interesting )Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the 2024 presidential elections has been chosen yesterday, her name is Claudia Sheinbaum, best of luck to her.
It's their independence day today b.t.w.(, 200 and one year since 1822).
I'm christian and i'm a communist, clearly in favor of liberation theology, and it hurts that you're right.
It doesn't make sense, but the Church supports the poors in words and ~not in deeds, perhaps because a lot of communists were anti-clerical, but still, you're right.
St Augustine of Hippo's epitaph is :
What makes the heart of a christian heavy ?
That s·he is a pilgrim, and longeth for h·is·er own country.
That's my words, and those of millions/billions before me.
Far-right christians supporters would probably say that societal (pseudo-)problems are more important than socio-economic ones, and that the inhabitants of communist countries are asking for our help to free them.
But if i ever stumble upon a christian supporter of capitalist political parties, i hope that they'd confirm to me that our vision of the paradise/'city of God' on Earth is mostly the same. Christianity is fundamentally compatible with utopian socialism. And if that's the case, then we only need to produce an effective counter-propaganda to make them realise the usual lies about authoritarianism, the efficiency of free market with its external negativities, the steal of 'lucrative properties'/'passive income'/'capital's revenues', etc. Longing for a better world is half the work of being a communist, and western societies don't even have a long-term vision to attain this utopia.
A problem is also that we don't know about some instances, lemmit.online has the content you seek. And check c/Fediverse@lemmy.world if you'd like to discover more new stuff.
Oh no, i really wanted him to eventually succeed with his coup ^(/s)
Very sad it ended like that however, as always with all deaths.
I've read from western medias that the russian medias have been destroying his reputation for the last months, i.d.k. if that's true.
The only weird thing would be to have chosen the b.r.i.c.s summit as a good time to kill him, almost every other days would have been fine, but that's quite probably not enough of a reason to have doubts on the culprit, they've perhaps seized an opportunity.

Videos of his arrival, and official venezuelan statement.
Arrested in Cap Verde the 12th June 2020, he was held in Miami since 2021 under the pretense of money laundering, Interpol notifications or arrest warrants were issued retroactively and, of course, diplomatic immunity wasn't respected. Here :
And usual accusations of mistreatments.
In order to obtain his liberation, they had to : release 10 americans, extradite fugitive Leonard Glenn Francis, and release around 20 political prisoners from jail. (source), it's as asymmetric as usual.
What's less known is that apparently Qatar played once again a role of mediation :
The wiki page lacks a lot of the above information, but this extract is ~interesting, they're seriously claiming that hungry people are easier to control and less prone to revolts, so they're sanctioning the c.l.a.p. which was feeding the poorest of them :
I still think that evilness is a myth formulated by people refusing to understand/explain, and i'll continue to think so even if we(sterners) exist.
As an example, the murderous Israel would indeed be safer by destroying Palestine once and for all, at least as long as their estimation of a lack of retaliation from their neighbours proves to be correct.
