Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • With all due respect, but if you want to believe the Hamas and other terrorist groups want to fight for “freedom” instead of eradicating the entire Jewish population, discussions with you on this topic are fruitless.

    These people are a terrorist caricature one could find in a bad American bush era movie to you, aren't they?

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • But the goal or “Mission” of the Hamas is to eradicate all jews.

    Source that isn't from the 90s when they were a marginal fundamentalist group and not a leading member of a coalition fighting for a secular democracy?

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • First off, the foundations remain the same, colonial.

    Second off, is creating a secular democracy without an apartheid system, aka "destroying Israel" going to kill everyone? Did the collapse of apartheid South Africa kill all the white people there?

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • And all these people think Israel are the good guys? I wonder what their opinions about apartheid South Africa were at the time.

    Israel was explicitly founded as a settler-colonial project, you can look up quotes from famous founding zionists.

    “You are being invited to help make history ... it doesn’t involve Africa, but a piece of Asia Minor; not Englishmen, but Jews ... How, then, do I happen to turn to you since this is an out-of-the-way matter for you? How indeed? Because it is something colonial.”

    Women of Lemmy, how to pleasure someone that does not enjoy any clitoris stimulation?
  • If she is okay with things you should leave it alone, lest you put pressure on her to orgasm which is like, one of the least sexy things I can think of.

    You can enjoy sex without orgasming. Sometimes my partner or I will opt for strap sex even though it is harder for both of us to orgasm because it feels nice/scratches a different itch. If she wanted to orgasm during sex she'd probably start masturbating to make it easier to do.

  • Perfect clarity
  • but doesn’t history teach us that violent revolution more often just begets more violence than actually solves problems?

    Nope! Look at the life expectancy increases under socialist countries, they mathematically have less death!

    Also compare red terrors casualty numbers to standard operating casualty numbers. Like 20 million people die of capitalism caused deprivation a year worldwide today.

  • Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?
  • DPRK trivia- the dprk has universal suffrage and secret ballot. The highest authority in the country is the Supreme people's assembly with 687 representatives.

    US trivia: the US prohibits itself from arming governments credibly accused of significant humanitarian crimes, but then turns the other eye when it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge significant humanitarian crimes.

    Like during the genocide in Palestine, where Biden keeps shipping weapons and Blinken has been told to or chosen to keep his eyes closed and his ears stuffed with cotton while his subordinates keep bringing reports of Israeli crimes.

    Any attack on a space asset of the DPRK will be considered a declaration of war

    Press Statement by Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK released the following press statement "Any attack on space asset of the DPRK will be deemed declaration of war against it" on Saturday:

    The brigandish nature of the U.S., which regards it as its main lever for realizing its hegemonic wild ambition to commit outrageous and unlawful military intervention against sovereign countries, has been brought to light more clearly, occasioned by the DPRK's reconnaissance satellite launch.

    An official concerned of the U.S. Space Command recently spouted rubbish hinting at a military attack on the DPRK's reconnaissance satellite, saying that the U.S. can decrease the enemy country's outer space operation capabilities by employing diverse "reversible and irreversible methods".

    American military affairs experts comment that the U.S. Space Force can physically destroy not only opponent's satellite and satellite earth station but also get rid of enemy state's space force through jamming and virus-using cyber attack.

    The U.S. Space Force's deplorable hostility toward the DPRK's reconnaissance satellite can never be overlooked as it is just a challenge to the sovereignty of the DPRK, and more exactly, a declaration war against it.

    Article 8 of the "Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies", the main international outer space treaty, stipulates that any object launched into outer space definitely falls under the jurisdiction of the launcher state and the ownership of it never changes no matter it remains in outer space or returned to the earth.

    This means that the reconnaissance satellite "Malligyong-1" is a part of the territory of the DPRK where its sovereignty is exercised.

    Furthermore, reconnaissance satellite is not regarded as a space weapon by international law for its technical features aimed at observation.

    If the reconnaissance satellite of the DPRK is regarded by the U.S. as a "military threat" that must be gotten rid of, countless spy satellites of the U.S. flying above the Korean peninsula region every day, exclusively tasked with monitoring the major strategic spots of the DPRK, should be deemed the primary targets to be destroyed by the armed forces of the DPRK.

    By openly unveiling its aggression scheme to mount a military attack on a space asset of other sovereign country, a part of its properties and territory, the U.S. has proved itself its true colors as the chief culprit of evils seeking to realize its wild ambition for dominating the world by turning outer space, common wealth of humankind, into a theater of war.

    It is the mission of the armed forces of the DPRK, specified by its constitution and other laws, to exercise their war deterrent to protect the state sovereignty and territorial integrity in case a lethal military attack is carried out against the country's strategic assets or it is judged that such attack is imminent.

    In case the U.S. tries to violate the legitimate territory of a sovereign state by weaponizing the latest technologies illegally and unjustly, the DPRK will consider taking responsive action measures for self-defence to undermine or destroy the viability of the U.S. spy satellites by exercising its legitimate rights vested by international and domestic laws. -0- www.kcna.kp (Juche112.12.2.)

    The US military can't use a 110 million dollar drone base in Niger
    taskandpurpose.com The US can’t use its $110 million drone base in Niger

    The US military cannot conduct drone operations from a base in Niger because the country’s military junta has closed its airspace.

    The US can’t use its $110 million drone base in Niger

    Why was it there in the first place I wonder?

    They lied about Iraq. They lied about Afghanistan. Now they're lying about Ukraine.
    www.salon.com They lied about Afghanistan. They lied about Iraq. Now they're lying about Ukraine

    Russia's invasion was a war crime. That's no excuse for the disastrous, destructive path of endless war

    The far left of the US' overton arrow slit is backtracking on the war now. https://youtu.be/jpUN0q35Lak

    Mainstream US news backsliding on the Ukraine war narrative is pretty newsworthy.
