To clarify, they cover the facts of the matter in a very abstract, passive way - they’ll say that Lebanon is being struck by Israeli missiles and that IDF forces are telling people to leave their homes, but no one will even come close to suggesting that what’s happening is ethnic cleansing.

Sanction Israel for genocide for a start. Cut off diplomatic economic educational and financial ties with them. Like the world did with South Africa.
But Europe doesn’t give a fuck about genocide unless it’s on their soil.

Believe it or not, all people would have to do to stop the government is as simple as stop watching netflix or buying from amazon: the market would panic and so would the government.

The problem is that nobody cares in Europe to do anything.
Many do care but can’t do much about it. Decades of government and capitalism propaganda have empowered authorities beyond control and have make it hard for people to do something outside their work.

I think Israel senses that the writing is on the wall. For decades they’ve preferred to gradually expand their borders, slowly antagonizing their neighbors and then using the resulting retaliations to justify land theft.
But this shtick is wearing thin. Slowly the tide is turning against Israel, even in the US. And Trump is likely to be the high water mark for US support of Israel. Trump’s given them a blank check, so they’re treating this as their last chance to grab as much land as possible while facing minimal international resistance. This is the fire sale of the US/Israel alliance.

Climate change will not be kind to the region. Israel knows that it is in deep shit and is acting out. Ironically, its military aggression is only hastening this.
BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Slowly the tide is turning against Israel, even in the US.
Is it? Public sentiment might be turning against them, but actual political support for them is only increasing, and not just from Trump; even ostensibly “left wing” governments like UK or Australia are still pulling out all the stops to ensure Israel gets what it wants and domestic criticism is crushed
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
USA can’t turn against Israel, it IS Israel, Israel is our baby. We made it with the UK, Israel is used for military and intel, more than anywhere else in the world. A forever hot spot
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Israel is the USA’s military arm in the middle east, it is doing exactly what it was created to do.
Also, a lot of these borders they’re fighting over were arbitrarily created by the USA and UK after WW1&2 (including Israel of course). These borders have nothing to do with the reality on the ground, enemies were mashed together with their mortal enemies and called a country.
This keeps prices of their labor low, for maximum profits. Only the royal families make bank
treesquid@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You got it all wrong. The US doesn’t want to do this, Israel wants to do this and have bought enough US politicians to pull it off. The US created a monster and it’s in control now. The US also needs a base in the middle east and wants access to Israel’s intelligence apparatus. Any time the US tries to flex, Bibi just threatens to make friends with Russia instead, and if the president is a giant pussy like Biden or especially Trump, they fold rather than call the bluff.

Yes very much, funding for universities come from jewish/israeli backers, and MIT is a basically a pipeline to the IDF weapons tech.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
its also no wonder why they keep targeting IRAN, the original govt before the SHAH was democratic, and they were afraid of nationalization of the oil, so they did a coup and installed the shah which eventually led to the islamic revolution, and they have been trying to get that back since. attacking iran now, likely will ensure the govt remains in place, and the uprising is largely quashed.
The_Almighty_Walrus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
More like the US is Israel’s military arm in the rest of the world
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You’ve got it backwards, US and UK formed Israel after WW2, Israel is “our” testing ground and intelligence hub for the middle east. “Our” meaning USA, UK, Boeing, Northrop, General Dynamics, et al, and their respective owners.
IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For the military arm in the Middle East they sure need a lot of US aircraft carriers and military bases to protest them against incoming missiles.
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes, different “arms” of the military always, without exception, defend other branches of the military, allies, and their bases. They don’t all just sit in their own base and dig in, friend.
That would be stupid
You see, the aircraft carriers are big boats, and they hold these jets. The jets fly around in the air and shoot things with missiles and other arms. The important part for my point is that the carrier is MOBILE, and a place for the jets to land. So, of course we MOBILIZED our MOBILE base.
If an aircraft carrier is used, it is silly to conclude that the country that it is defending at the moment is more than a “military arm”. It’s used everywhere. Get it? That’s what it does.
I am not an expert, educate me if I am wrong.

Lebanon’s government and military were actually *helping Israel combat Hezbollah". It was the only path towards stability.

bearboiblake@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
Yeah, it’s a perfect example of why you should never comply with fascists. The only path towards stability is the complete dissolution of Israel and the denazification of Zionists.

Since criticism of israel is antisemitic !!!
bearboiblake@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
Israel and Zionists constantly conflating the state of Israel with the Jewish people is responsible for much of the rise of anti-semitism, and it’s all on purpose, too. Israel wants Jews living in other nations to feel more and more in danger so that they move to Israel so they can be used as settlers to push more native people out of their homes. It’s all part of the Zionist plan and has been since the formation of the state of Israel.

MrSulu@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
We have greater fear of the word ‘antisemetism’ being used inappropriately against us than we are to appropriately speak out or take action to prevent the eradication of semetic people In Palestine and Lebanon. Here in the UK it was unlawful with many arrested for protesting in public or online. We cannot be the hand over evil by staying silent.

The constant indiscriminate killing is insane.
What is even crazier is coming to realize with modern technology it isn’t indiscriminate and they may very well know with good accuracy who is dying before they do.
The implications of this type of warfare are beyond chilling.

This might have been the case under sane leaders like George W. Bush, Mike Pence, and the last Democrats, but I think this outcome is improbable as 1) that didn’t happen when George W. Bush waged war over lies in the Middle East; 2) This administration is composed of hyped-up christo-fascists and their sycophants, and is goaded by oligarchs who want the destruction of the USA so they can buy up what remains.

Or China needs to be stopped in their aggressions against Taiwan and ethnic cleansing of Uyghurs and other “undesirable” people.
I feel like there is no winning scenario left in this.
Who are “we” anyway?
Tatar_Nobility@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
You can’t compare China, who hasn’t waged a single war in 50 years, to a genocidal entity like “Israel” that is being constantly aided by the US empire and defended by the western propaganda machine.
And regarding Xinjiang, you may need to look at the facts before throwing terms like “ethnic cleansing.”

This is a gross generalization. It’s like aliens looking down on earth and saying “we really have to do something about these humans.”
Like, sure. We, as a species might have earned that… But, is it all humans?
The right shift in power across nations could solve this. It starts with people acknowledging that the real issue is rogue governments. Right now in the United States, our government is rogue.
Random people born in Russia don’t want to kill Ukrainians any more than every American wants to kill random people in the Middle East. Our humanity is important, and where you’re born and live doesn’t dictate your loyalty to empowered dictators.
The movement that needs to happen is one where the people rise up in all nations, and unite. It starts with language. America doesn’t need to be destroyed any more than Russia, but their governments require radical changes.

Is your country doing business with the rogue terrorist states? is your country buying arms from the USA, or using the US Dollar to trade?
If you’re going to stop the USA, you better ramp up arms production yourselves.
The US has armed a lot of the world, and that world is dependent on the USA for specialists, training, parts, ammunition, F-35s, and so on, an endless list.
They did that for a reason, not just to make money, but to make DEPENDENCE
