you're telling me this ethnostate is discriminating against people??

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 7 points 5 hours ago

I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[–] thejml@sh.itjust.works 71 points 12 hours ago
[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 56 points 12 hours ago

This is unsurprising.

Israel is not known for their love of human rights.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 46 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Once they’ve killed all the Palestinians and journalists, the IDF will need someone new to shoot

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 16 points 10 hours ago

I'm sure they're efficient enough that they can start shooting new groups before they're completely finished the previous groups.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 hours ago

You joke but this is why fascism isn’t sustainable. You always need a scapegoat and eventually your gonna run out of them as you make your population more and more uniform.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

When they're done raping all the women and young girls of Palestine, they'll turn their rape spree onto Israeli women and young girls.

I wonder how all these pick me bitches openly supporting the IDF will twist the narrative for it.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 27 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

So all three major religions want to make the lives of women more difficult.

Who'd have thought.

[–] OppaGundamStyle@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?

Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 hours ago

I don't know that I'd include judaism on a list of "three major religions." Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yet the majority of the world are bootlicking israel

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Leadershit maybe, but the general public seems to have had enough.

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Leadershit are the ones making the difference right now. People's sentiment mean nothing unless they hold their leaders responsible. People are dying right now and still no action is being taken.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

But the leaders are elected by the people and foreign conflict with always comes after domestic affairs like the economy

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Large parts of the world don't have fair elections, or elections at all.

Also, yes people vote on domestic affairs first. Doesn't mean they support the foreign policy, just that it is a lower priority. We typically don't have "if all else was equal" in voting decisions.

Or we have situations like in the U.S. where both sides are in on the bootlicking. One side may go further than the other, but both choices are bad in this regard.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

If the population keep voting for those type of leaders there is zero reasons for them to care about Palestine and listen to people. The only way is voting them out of the system and we sre in a very critical time where Gaza may cease to exists in few years. Time is running out

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

The three Abrahamic religions? ...weird they all worship the same god by different names.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 21 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The sky is blue, water makes things wet, blood is red.

Just saying things that are obvious, don't mind me.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I am pretty sure sky is blue deniers exists

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 7 points 12 hours ago

There is the whole myth that ancient people couldn't see the colour blue. But that was because they didn't have a distinct word for it that didn't include other shades like purple.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Well, the sky isn't objectively blue, it just appears so to us.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 11 hours ago

Isn't that everything?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I think, technically speaking due to Rayleigh Scattering and the nature of our sun, the sky wouldn't be blue if it weren't for the composition of our atmosphere — if I'm remembering correctly. So the sky could potentially be a different color with a different atmosphere, or at least we would perceive it that way (we are also sensitive to the color blue, so it is easier to see).

Idk, this has led to many more questions than I anticipated. I guess if you're very strict about the light not being a part of the atmosphere due to scattering then it is not blue. Other factors like clouds, fog, smog, obviously play a part.

But I thought that we (U.S. people) were supposed to support them because they are a champion of democracy and human rights.

I'm calling bullshit.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

What have either the US or Israel got to do with democracy or human rights nowadays, anyway?

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Depends on who's trying to say they're good ones

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Most moral society now!

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 18 points 5 hours ago

You mean fascists don't respect human lives? But muh LGBT equals! Muh only democracy in the region!

[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Fascism does hate wömen, after all

[–] Predalien@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] LuckingFurker@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 hours ago

Exactly, bröther

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 16 points 7 hours ago

I don't doubt that Israel is backsliding on women's rights, but this "Women, Peace and Security Index" has got to be bullshit.

They have a bunch of parameters that try to capture the situation of women, and I'm sure that can be useful to gauge which way the wind is blowing for a single country, but it gets kinda ridiculous when Saudi Arabia gets a much better score than Turkey, China, India, Brazil, Iran, and Mexico.

Just a reminder that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until 2018.

who is surprised? they’re inhuman nazis treating people like trash.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 hours ago

Women’s rights are on a sharp decline in Israel.

Yeah, that'll happen in a patriarchal theocracy.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 12 hours ago
[–] realitaetsverlust@piefed.zip 6 points 4 hours ago

Well, the exact same happens in murica. If you partner with ultra religious people, this is the bullshit that'll happen.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Make a fascist society, get fascist society problems.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

John Kerry warned that Israel can be Jewish, large, democratic, pick two. They picked Jewish and large. Now leopards are coming for faces.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 hours ago

Hacker ticked off a list of historical accomplishments for women’s equality in Israel: the 1951 Equal Rights for Women Law, considered revolutionary at the time; Golda Meir serving as one of the first female leaders in the world in 1969; the military’s mandatory conscription of women.

Yeah, cause socialist zionists dominated political power during that period. As racist as they were towards Palestinians, equality was increasing. That's not the ideological reality today.

Wow, I didn't expect bad people to be bad people 😮

I literally could not care less. Get fucked, Isreal. You voted for this.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io -2 points 11 hours ago

Not gonna shed too many tears over this.
