“Violating international law” is pretty sterile/soft verbiage for fucking war crimes.

We have a Jewish politician open criticizing Israel, I'm pretty sure that says more than enough on its own

[–] regul@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean? Jewish politicians are the only ones allowed to even mildly criticize Israel, because anti-semitism claims against them are taken slightly less seriously.

Spot on. Bernie has been called an anti-Semite before, he will probably be called one again for this and I'm sure it won't be the last time he is called one.

And cue someone from the GOP calling him an antisemite/Nazi in 3… 2… 1…

It's also funny because he also denounced Hamas' attack even though resisting a military occupation/blockade is allowed by international law.

[–] GivingEuropeASpook@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

He denounced specific parts of the attack. The section of international law that explicitly allows violent resistance to a military occupation or blockade doesn't exempt the resistors from the rest of international law. The IDF/Israel and Hamas have the same obligations under international law(s).

Once again, massive swinging dick Bernie Sanders is one of the few bold enough to actually spit truth, no matter how much shit he catches for it.

Maybe its not the "jews" and the "palestanians" but the israeli government and hamas thats causing the problem. Also israel is a huge weapons testing facility for the us basically.

Sanders also reiterated his prior condemnation of the Hamas attack, calling it a “major setback for any hope of peace and reconciliation in the region – and justice for the Palestinian people.”

There was never any hope of peace and reconciliation and justice. 🙄

Yeah I have no idea how these people don't get it. Are the Palestinians expected to just accept having their calories counted and reduced, their water limited, and their electricity shut off? Like what sort of peace do you think is possible?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

Literally? The peace of the grave.

So glad zionists don't control the narrative this time.

It seems like the internet is doing it's job, for once.

[–] jackmarxist@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 year ago (5 children)

They do sadly. The media has repeated Israeli lies again and again even when provided with no proof of their claims. The whole baby beheading thing got spread so much that Joe Biden ended up calling it out and later clarified that they don't have proof as well.

And Reddit has been banning pro Palestine subs and users from yesterday.
