    Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • This is absolutely false, hamas is not anti-semitic, they're anti-zionist. You're doing the british / murican tabloid thing of equating the two.

    1. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.
  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • Yes, we oppose Israel's genocide here.

  • Replace US with Israel in this Stokely Carmichael Quote:

    “Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.”

    Israel, or any bully, will not be swayed by your appeals to their conscience, no matter how hard you try. Ruling classes intentionally spread pacifist propaganda becomes its completely unthreatening to them. Pacifism overall is a losing strategy with zero historical successes, as the article below gets into.

    Can a Unified Push push server see/read notifications?
  • Yes, I believe all the messages are in plain text, and it's up to the server not to log it.

    It is possible to e2ee the message content yourself tho.

    Edit: it looks like ntfy.sh specifically keeps messages cached in memory for a few hours befor discarding them. https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • How did it look when south africans overthrew the apartheid regime? Didn't come anywhere near the racist nightmares of white supremacists, and there's no reason to believe the return of palestine will be any different.

    Also it's up to Palestinians, and no one else to decide what to do with their land.

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • So it is not in our material interests to promote instability

    When hasn't the US used the british strategy of balkanization, especially in the middle east? Divide and conquer a cornerstone of their strategy, in the ME, africa, south america, SE asia... literally everywhere.

    Mossadegh's government was actively overthrown by the CIA, then the US supported the Shah and his son, and had strong relations with imperial Iran until they were overthrown in the Iranian revolution. The Iranian people refused to accept that right-wing US-puppet and his brutal regime any longer, and there was nothing the US could do about it.

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • US leaders repeatedly tell you why supporting Israel is in the US's interests: its a giant unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east to project power on this resource rich region. The US would never support even another colonialist project with the same values, unless it was in its material interests.

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • Did you watch the video I linked you below?

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • So many enlightened centrists both-sidesing in this thread.

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • I don't think a lot of westerners realize how highly propagandized and pro-colonialist their media is.

    The US deemed the African National Congress (ANC, the main group resisting apartheid south africa) a terrorist group just like they do hamas now, and only removed Mandela from the US terrorist watchlist in 2008.

    US media is saying all the same things about Palestine's resistance that they did in the 80s w/ to south african apartheid.

  • US & Israel oppose entire world in UN vote to end Cuba blockade
  • This is correct, the US takes the threat of a good example very seriously, and has meddled in every single attempt at building any state, not only communist ones, that refuse to be controlled by US capitalists.

  • Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • What does your both-sidesing accomplish here? Are you trying to say that Palestine's resistance to colonialism isn't justified?

    If so, then you're doing this gandhi quote, but for the palestinian resistance.

  • Lemmy Development Update 2024-11-01

    Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

    We also apologize for all the downtime on lemmy.ml recently, but thanks to @Nutomic and @phiresky, we've narrowed down the issue, and have a fix for it.

    This was a blocker for the 0.19.6 release, so that should be ready to go soon, with 0.20.0 not long after.

    The U.S. Navy is Firing Missiles in the Middle East Faster Than They Can be Replaced.

    nationalinterest.org The U.S. Navy is Firing Missiles in the Middle East Faster Than They Can be Replaced

    The concern is the rate at which SM-3 missiles and other ordnances, including the SM-2 and SM-6, are now being fired. The U.S. is now depleting its stockpiles faster than the missiles can be replaced, and that has raised alarms.
