It is so embarrassing how few people understand how our system of government works. The President is not a king.

Wow a terrorist government that hasn't held a free and fair election in almost 2 decades (or possibly ever) is shirking all responsibility for their people. Color me shocked.

Where has dismantling worked without giving way to exploitation and coercion?

This is very contested land. The people living there before them had just driven out the people living their before them who had also done the same and it goes on like that for a very long time. When you get back to it the best archaeological records say the earliest people there were likely one of the less popular sects of Jews.

If we're going by who was living there then everyone after the Jews is an occupier that denied today's Jews the land of their ancestors. But this is a bad argument.

The truth is in the details:

  1. Palestine and Israel both became states at the same time. There were both Arabs and Jews living there.
  2. Jews had purchased land from Arabs living there before Israel became a state.
  3. A lot of the land in the entire region was empty.
  4. The Ottomans kept very poor land ownership records. No one knows who exactly owned what.
  5. There were several wars started by Palestine against Israel where the Palestinians lost land.
  6. The Gaza strip and West Bank are undeniably Palestinian land. Israel needs to stop attacking the West Bank and taking its land.
  7. Gaza, Iran, and all the nationalist organizations and governments that believe in the genocide of Jews as the end goal here need to be removed by their people.

Yeah dude you've just solved the question of where to send 8m people of various means who are so widely discriminated against that they formed a state to defend their remaining people.

The answer of where to send them both is nowhere. It's to cease fire and everyone accepts a two state solution.

The uncomfortable question no one wants to answer.

You can't just start with an unsupported assertion and derive a logical conclusion from it. Your axioms need to be provably true. Logical reasoning does not work when based on either false or unfalsifiable premises.

Just here correcting fake facts. Have all the sympathy in the world for the victims of war mongering religious conservatism.

Yeah do you? Even North Korea isn't 100%. Not about to argue absolutist definitions in the real world with an internet edgelord.

It seems like a lot of posts got deleted and now it looks pretty inactive. What happened?

 

That's it. It's just the fastest springboard this garbage company had to get yet another social media platform out the door when they sensed blood in the water.

Edit: This is a response to people who think FB users will somehow discover the fediverse and be converted by this action. They won't.

Or that FB has noble goals in choosing AP or will somehow be forced to be better. They won't.

It's just good software.

 
  • No server operator needs to federate with you.
  • No server operator needs to tolerate things they don't want on their instance.
  • No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don't want to see.

Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.

Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers' posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.
