The destruction of Palestine is breaking the world
The destruction of Palestine is breaking the world
The rules of the institutions that define our lives bend like reeds when it comes to Israel – so much that the whole global order is on the verge of collapse
Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

Is it? I don't even hear anything out of the Arab states. It should but I don't see much.
Because America successfully turned most of the Middle East into US puppet states. There's a reason most of the region is ruled by autocratic regimes. The only Arabic-speaking country whose government is materially opposed to Israel now is Yemen.
This war is of course a huge tragedy, but as someone who sees gaza war as a local conflict borderline affecting few cities, I can't help but chuckle how much lemmy ignores the largest country in the world waging war in Europe and only escalating by every month, while western countries can't seem to keep up in production. It's Russia who will break the world, not some conflict in middle east.
EDIT: The average lemmy user claiming that russia is incapable of doing anything goes to show that you really should disregard what the average lemmy user says and rather read what experts and researchers say. The downvotes on this comment is a clear proof only few truly know what's going on right now. I would not even be surprised if the recent US weapon callback is related to this. I'm not exagggareting when I say that Russia is outproducing entire NATO in 2025. The EU just yesterday lifted debt limit to 17 countries purely to allow going into debt to raise defence spending across the EU (something that bankrupted soviets). Russia has changed it's stance on peace terms, so that goes out the window too. Even they know they can now win this war.

Lol, calling Russia the largest country in the world is a strange way to increase the might of a faded superpower who can't deploy an army to win against a country much smaller than them.
It is absolutely a big deal and most of Europe offers financial, military and humanitarian assistance above what you'll see on Lemmy. The difference is the genocide in Palestine is war crime after war crime. Sure, Russia commits and has committed war crimes, but even they follow most of the rules of war. Israel is genocidal. It's supported by their people. It's abhorrent.
I think Israel is foolish. They are protected by their international support and not viable on their own. Trump is unpredictable and nationalistic. They could get left out in the cold, like USA did to Ukraine very easily. Netanyahu has is ear. As does Putin and the Saudis. In trumps case, it'll be what he can get. Israel have less to offer while requiring the funding the others don't.
Faded superpower? Mate, this one country is now producing more weapons than all of nato combined. Wake up. While we're discussing how much to start spending on defense by 2030, russia has multiplied their manufacturing rates, hence the every upcoming week being the worst in Ukraine's history.
What? No one's ignoring Ukraine.
Literally most answers here disregard the dangers of Russia and my comment got downvoted into irrelevancy and then you claim that lmao
You were downvoted because no one is ignoring Ukraine.
Saying stuff like "the only way Russia can win is if someone bails them out" is ignoring the hard reality of conflict. There is a reason Russia no longer wants peace.
