Is that why he's spamming !politics@lemmy.ml with US internal news lately? The place has been terrible to navigate now.

I just find it ironic that the mods here implemented a rule that forbids spamming of posts by one person. Then this former mod? goes on to do exactly that at !politics@lemmy.ml

Spamming the comment section with pro israeli comments or even just muddying the waters. I've seen it with a few posters, including rivermonster. It distracts those reading from the real issue being discussed, usually israeli crimes against humanity.

Ok i see, i think i understand what your position is now. I don't fully agree but i can respect it.

No one is denying that south africa has a corruption problem. But that doesn't mean that SA's stance against israel on the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians is because Russia or China told us so.

You're conflating the two issues. There is absolute disgust and anger at the israelis and absolute empathy towards the Palestinians because we went through the same brutalisation and dehumanisation by a racist radicalised minority government that the Palestinians are going through right now.

I would say that the Palestinians are actually subjected to worse than what south africans were subjected to. And that's really saying something, because we know how awful apartheid was and how much brutalisation we were subject to during apartheid.

I think you're ignoring that the south african government ( minus the DA and and their allies) and the people of south africa support the palestinians because we recognise exactly what an apartheid oppressor state looks like, and we recognise israel as being an apartheid oppresssor.

Aparheid wasn't that long ago that we've forgotten what it was like. We're still living through the repercussions of it, and will be for many years to come. We know the palestinian people are living through the same. And when they're free of the israeli apartheid inflicted on them they'll have to live with the repercussions of that for many generations.

It's empathy that south africa is feeling.

Right. Because south africa has absolutely no agency of our own, right? We can't do anything worthwhile without european or white masters /s

I suppose the colonial mindset hasn't left all south africans

Yes. I believe the Israelis dug a tunnel when they built the hospital too

The US needs to be deterred from the world

As we speak israel just bombed an ambulance convoy full of injured people. And then, not long later, the indonesian hospital in gaza was damaged even more by the israelis.

Where are the people screaming that Palestinians should make peace right now? Make peace with WHOM?

At this point Israel's word means absolutely nothing, they have little to no credibility

I think you're getting confused. Before the creation of Israel there were jewish palestinians, and Christian Palestinians and muslim Palestinians. And then the apartheid ethnostate of Israel was created, and israel made everyone who was not jewish a 2nd class citizen or a refugee.

Before the creation of israel people of the three faiths were living together in Palestine.

So i'm quite sure the problem is actually israel

Why can't there be Jewish Palestinians?

20 trucks are a drop of what is really needed. In normal times an average of 500 trucks would enter gaza and be needed every day.

A complete ceasefire and unlimited humanitarian aid is sorely needed right now.
