Biden 'outraged' by Israeli strike that killed aid workers in Gaza

"This conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed," Biden said in a statement. "This is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza has been so difficult — because Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians.

Biden knowingly provided unconditional military and political support for the Nazis in israel as they spent almost 6 months slaughtering innocent Palestinians (which the WH administration expressed concern about as soon as October 11th), killing record numbers of journalists and aid workers in the process, and now he feigns '"outrage" on day 180, days after he rushed to send the Nazis billions more in bombs and jets. guts-rage

Same. A lot of my Muslim friends are completely off the rails now. The post Oct 7 reaction is shocking honestly.

Of course, those who strongly oppose genocide and reject the system responsible are off the rails.

But the smug, suburbanite neoliberals endlessly denying, normalizing, or defending the genocide on reddit are practically glued to the rails. saul-your-honor

Even worse: "Man charged after bringing nail gun to demonstration in Thornhill: police"

"A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged after allegedly bringing a nail gun to a demonstration in Thornhill on Sunday, police say.

It happened in the area of Clark Avenue West and South Promenade.

York Regional Police (YRP) said they were called to that area at about 9:45 a.m. after a victim reported being assaulted with a weapon by a male suspect.

According to police, an altercation broke out regarding the conflict in the Middle East.

"Through investigation, officers identified several witnesses who stated that a male had stopped his vehicle near pro-Palestinian demonstrators and began shouting obscenities at them, while becoming confrontational with three of the protestors," YRP said."

... They did so much to obscure the fact that the pro-Palestine protestors were the ones being attacked by someone wielding a nailgun

Many news orgs in Canada are now sharing headlines about Canada, Australia, and New Zealand ordering an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to prevent further crises in Rafah, but of course the fine print buried in the article is that a ceasefire has to be on "both sides", meaning that Hamas has to surrender, disarm, and release all hostages... Of course they won't mention anything about israel withdrawing their forces or releasing Palestinian hostages.

Am I being cynical, or is this nothing new? I figured imperial core countries that have been aiding and abetting israel's genocide of Palestinians would have always supported a ceasefire based on conditions they knew were impossible, and which would make sure that israel is the victor (e.g., for Hamas to completely secede and surrender). Am I wrong?

Either way it's still kkkanada and always will be.

Another Canadian happening this week is Trudeau breaking his recent silence about the israeli genocide of Palestinians, but this time it was to condemn pro-Palestinian protestors who marched by a hospital near downtown Toronto (which he claims is antisemitic targeting). Not a peep from Mr. "International Rules Based Order" about the thousands of Palestinians that israel has butchered since the ICJ's ruling that israel needs to take immediate steps to prevent collective punishment and the killing of civilians more than two weeks ago. israel has tripled down on their genocidal mission since this ruling, and the cowardly "progressive" Canadian PM will only speak up to smear a pro-peace protest.

This is an Anti-Tankie reddit. The message you sent is either tankie/authoritarian "socialist" apologia or can be easily seen as such. Please, refrain from posting stuff like this in the future.

When your brand of anti-left leftism is so coherent and robust that you need an automod to delete posts that might disrupt the circlejerk

Sounds authoritarian [Where's that damn emote of the person in a well? lol]

somehow international rules based means that Hamas exercising their legal right to armed resistance against the violent israeli occupation makes it OK for israel to drop multiple atomic bombs worth of munitions on Palestinians they've locked inside of Gaza without food, water, electricity, and humanitarian aid.

So many words to tell us you’ve read zero theory…

Also, how on earth is “Fuck cars” a successful “socialist experiment”? The biggest action anyone associated with that movement is flatten a few tires from SUV’s

Hexbears deny the genocide against Uyghurs in China

Denial of the persecution of Uyghurs in China

human rights concerns in Xinjiang

China is treating its Uyghurs well.

Uyghurs in China are being oppressed.

It's a weird thing to lead a discussion with the term "genocide", and then use it interchangeably with all these others terms, getting noticeably less precise the deeper into your post.

Also:

They control what their citizens can see on the Internet, monitor every communication happening through their messaging apps, and often detains, without trial, dissidents who dare to call out the government for its wrongdoings.

This is America, lol.

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting.

Hey America (and Canada, UK, Australia, etc.), how ya doing?

✅ Rejection of political plurality (See: Range of acceptable thought among mainstream political parties; Also, consider some self-reflection)

✅ Strong central power to preserve the political status quo (See: Mainstream media apparatus, spanning news, movies, tv, etc.)

✅ Reductions in the rule of law (See: Absolute failure to hold politicians or corporations accountable)

✅ Reductions in the separation of powers (See: Politicians funded by and catering to corporate interests)

✅ Reductions in democratic Voting (See again: Politicians funded by and catering to corporate interests + absolute failure to hold politicians accountable; Also see: Rampant gerrymandering, erosion of voters' right, zero democracy in the workplace or outside of political elections)
