Fucking cowards. I was already ashamed to be Dutch because Wilders, but I am not particularly proud to be European now either.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I do tend to agree. As someone with little international politics accumen, is anyone able to explain why Israel has this seeming 'untouchable' status? Or at least why countries are so reticent in their calling out of Israel's atrocities?
The aim is not to punish Israel...
Why?
Because there's a network of powerful pedophiles that control most of the world. America and Israel are both fully under their boots
It's that simple
Fuck Isnotreal back to nothing
One really nasty thing I bet with all the money spent on bombs they could have secretly and slowly bought up all the land they destroyed, I don't think anything beyond the initial retaliation had a reason to be bloody but no they wanted it like this
Buying land does not grant sovereignity.
Palestinians for the most part are deeply attached to their land and their people. If Israel wants to ensure its permanent annexation of the palestinian land, they need to destroy the Palestinian people.
If they sucees in Gaza, they will switch up the ethnic cleansing in the Westbank to genocide too. However the existence of a Palestinian diaspora is also a threat. So they will work to have it genocided by the "allies" of Israel too.
It's kind of a dumb idea but if a "great replacement" was possible anywhere it would probably be there, I honestly think they could almost bloodlessly take over barring specific assassinations if they really wanted to but like you said they want to bomb and kill those people
Palestinians have shown to be fairly resiliant. We shouldnt forget that Hamas was founded as Israel tried to settle Gaza before. In the same wake Hezbollah was founded to fight against Israels occupation of southern Lebanon.
Now that Israeli soldiers try to conquer Gaza on the ground, Hamas and other fighters are giving the IDF heavy losses and attempt to capture Soldiers alive to get more mass for prisoners exchanges.
No I meant the idea that imagrents are coming over to slowly change demographics and pull countries closer to that countries side, make this whole thing an economic and diplomatic project not a military one
Europe is complicit in all wars that have happened since the last century.
All this “pressure” is just a facade to make people think something is being done. The fact is Europe benefits from the Ukraine and Palestine war and they will keep supplying money and ammunition to cause genocides. And then “condemn” Israel.
Because the Israeli banking sector has a very big influence on other economies probably.
