Between the genocide in Gaza and what’s coming for the West Bank, Palestine might not exist in the next few years. Survivors scattered to the winds.
It’s incredibly sad, but honestly foreseeable. The right wing shift in the west is killing what little sympathy and press coverage there was.
The following should be taken as a bit of a ramble because I want to express this idea I have, and I don’t think it should be taken as any sort of attempt to correct or challenge what you’re saying because I don’t think what you’re saying is in any way incorrect.
I think the right wing shift is a mirage that is being perpetrated by corporate-owned media. That’s not to say that every media outlet is racist or is explicitly attempting to push a narrative, but I think that the large corporations in the U.S., at least, that own news media have a vested interest in not offending both monied and powerful interests. In that regard they are avoiding reporting on topics that will rally the public, or are outright changing how they report on certain topics.
Which is a lot of words to say that I think what we’re seeing is false consensus driven from the top down, rather than a ‘bottom up’ shift in opinion. I think many of the normal folks are ill-informed, or outright propagandized.
Doesn’t change the outcome, or the opinions held by so many, though… sighThat should be obvious as soon as you step off any social platform or physical space controlled by capital. Capital has always been a tool for conquerors.
In other words the media is propaganda and always has been. Shocker.
The right wing in many countries have been funded by either domestic oil or Russia, there is endless documentation of this going back decades.
But we literally fall for the same gimmick every single time anyway.
I’m fearful that the current US presidency is the final nail in Palestines coffin. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t expect them to hang on in time for the next election.
Next election?
In Soviet USA the President chooses the next election.
They haven’t run out. They’ve been prevented from restocking.
“Because they were prevented from restocking, they are now out of food, but this condition need not continue if they are restocked.”. Is that good enough?
And the world is just going to watch this genocide occur cause some people believe their race is superior to all and makes claims to lands 2000 years in the past.
No, there’s just so much messed up it’s hard to care about something happening on the other side of he world.
Notice how the Israel issue is a lot quieter now despite being worse?
Yeah. And that pisses me off.
I mean, the US election is over.
And Russia won.
So, I imagine they’re all hungover to fuck from the celebrations really.
I’ve been arguing with people about the issues for like 2 days straight, so I don’t feel that, but yeah I think it’s less often in the news now that the opportunities to stop it are dwindling.
As much as I hated the Biden admin being pro Israel, too - at least they exercised some oversight. This is now gone and Netanyahu and his ilk can finally live out their darkest dreams.
That this sort of activity comes from the Jewish of all people, in the 21st century, is appalling.
But let’s not forget Trumplon’s part in all this. He is the big enabler here. Come judgement day (and I mean that very secularly) he will sit with Netanyahu. Well they might both be dead by then, but I have no doubt that history will not look kindly upon them.
it’s gone because news dont cover it
We Palestinians will never be quiet when someone tries to whitewash Biden. This was his genocide, he made up seeing beheaded babies and used to justify slaughtering our babies, and he mocked us at every turn when we begged for a ceasefire.
Trump is only allowing Israel to continue the genocide, Biden’s and the Democrats’ genocide.

Sigh, more censorship.
We need more lemmy communities that don’t do this.
I’m excited to hear about the new instance you are hosting. Let us know when it’s online.
China is great for supplying tech and military but don’t expect them to replace the USAID’s help on food across the globe. Produce is about to get a lot more expensive.
I call bs
Why? Israel is completely blocking food assistance from getting in and has thoroughly destroyed any infrastructure for food production (or anything else, really.)
What’s difficult to grasp about that?

They probably find difficult to grasp how to pour water in a glass, no worries.
You could at least be a good troll. Nothing more pathetic than a lazy half-assed troll.
