They are sending Gaza back a hundred years,” and argued that the international community is “complicit” in the “extermination” being carried out by Israel

So very true. We’re reacting to the present destruction of Gaza and asking for a ceasefire.

What does the future look like in Gaza? Any financial commitments to rebuild? Even when the bombings finally stop, how does Gaza survive?

They are not supposed to survive.

I get your point but right now, Vietnam is rapidly developing economy.

Many companies are moving their manufacturing from China to Vietnam.

Germans and Japanese are hard working people who value life over petty revenge. It’s up to the Gazans more than anything.

seen as how it’s abundantly clear that the Israeli govt is also an incredibly terroristic institution, no one with a moral compass should accept their existence either, right?

Alareer, a literature professor with the Islamic University of Gaza, warned us a month ago about how Israel is using “hunger as a weapon of war.” The Gaza Strip is facing major hunger issues as it enters the third month of the war instigated by the October 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people in Israel. “The people of Gaza are dying of hunger,” said Alareer. “We have very little food or water due to Israel’s blockade. This is a systematic extermination – the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s a continuation of the Israeli ethnic cleansing that started over 75 years ago,” referring to the creation of the Israeli state in 1948.

A systematic extermination and an ethnic cleansing supported and facilitated by the USA.

Fortunately they aren’t very good at it, given that the Palestinian population has increased by millions in recent decades.

War is funny.
WWI started because everyone had to respect their treaties and join their allies into war.
Then WWII started because countries didn’t join together from the start.

So, even if we learn from our past mistakes and avoid making them, with war, we can only do worse the next time.

That’s right. For a variety of reasons the adoption of sedentary agriculture was a kind of trap that pulled almost the entire human race along with it. Now, the few remaining people living the kind of lives we evolved to live exist only in the world’s most remote and inaccessible corners.

Popular Front had a podcast interview with him a month ago, it’s insane to hear all of the bombs going on around him even then.

    • 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.

  • 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.
