Comment on Major western news outlets continue to manufacture consent for israel's Genocide
Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 months agoNo, the purpose of society is to supercede the laws of the jungle. If we cannot adhere to civility our chances of self-erradication significantly increase each year. Ask Yemen how their right to self-defence has served them this past decade. The same can now be said for Palestine, and if Republicans get what they want, Ukraine, too.
War was given mantle as a horseman of the apocolypse with good reason. It won’t be the plagues, famines, and multitudes of death that wipe us out. The last two men on Earth will die in a fist fight between each other.
No that’s NOT the purpose of society 🤣, the purpose of society is to meet our needs, and no amount of arguing from you is going to change that.
Human society has succeeded for thousands of years despite violence within its walls and will keep doing so because humans are selfish, evil little goblins who only care about shoveling McDonald’s into their mouths.

Admittedly I'm not familiar with Yemen's situation, but the suggestion that Palestinians would be doing better if they rejected violent resistance is frankly ridiculous.

Israelis would also have to reject violence. Its not that this is obtainable today, but this is the mindset we should be implanting in new generations of people. War should be taboo.

I mean sure but then you're not saying much. "Both sides should settle things peacefully" I mean yes we'd all love that to happen but it's not possible today and the side being oppressed giving up on violence never goes well unless they have some non-violent way of gaining leverage.

Israelis are the only violent side refusing any semblance of peace. The West Bank is irrefutable evidence of this.
There is no “also”.

This is a hard line to tow, this is not a conflict with a 'good guy'.
The Hamas charter that they were founded on is publicly accessible, anyone can read it. It directly calls for Jihad as the only answer, and directly say that negotiation is not an option. There is also a line referencing that judgement will not come until the Jews are killed. Israel is doing bad things but don't let that lead you to the conclusion that Hamas is okay. It's really rough.

There is an also, because they must, too, reject violence. The Israelis could have taken to the streets enraged as their leader failed to act on the information given to him about the Oct 7 attack. He chose violence instead, and those people, forgetting their previous emotions of hatred toward their leader, sixed with their government. They chose violence.
