dactylotheca , in U.S. official: Biden realized Netanyahu lied to him about hostage deal
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Any bets on whether this will change anything? I mean yeah, it doesn’t seem likely and the prevailing opinion seems to be “fuck no”, but I have no idea how informed that opinion is.

someguy3 ,

This specifically? Probably not just because Biden only has a few months left. But I think we’re going to see a generational change in attitude from future presidents. Israel better get their shit together before that happens.

Out of curiosity, what is Harris’ stance on Israel? I’m from YUROP and I don’t actually know very much about her policy positions

someguy3 ,

She says Israel has a right to defend itself but civilian impact has to be considered. Should be easy to find on YouTube.

DancingBear ,

Regardless of what she is saying now as a candidate her actual policy will be the exact same as Biden’s.

She will ensure the American taxpayers continue to fund the genocide while pretending that she is giving Israel government a stern talking too.

She will also have confused pikachu face when Israel continues to lie to her once she is in office.

Alphane_Moon OP , in Smotrich: Might be ‘justified and moral’ to cause 2 million Gazans to die of hunger, but world won’t let us
@Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world avatar

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich implies he believes that blocking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is “justified and moral” even if it causes 2 million civilians to die of hunger, adding however that the international community won’t allow this to happen.

I personally avoid “taking sides” (we have our own problems in Ukraine) in what wikipedia calls the Israel–Hamas war, but this is a full on open call for genocide.

Shiggles ,

Israel and Hamas are both bastards, but neither wholly represent their respective constituent citizenry, and no group ever deserves starvation or genocide. Not a complicated situation to identify as fucked.

Alphane_Moon OP ,
@Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world avatar

I agree in principle with what you are saying, but this particular statement is very brutal considering this is an official statement from a senior Israeli government leader.

RadioFreeArabia ,

He just represents the will of the majority. Listen to Giden Levy speaking in 2015 on how Israeli society lives with the occupation youtu.be/3EtNFXL_ykg

RadioFreeArabia ,

Hamas are reacting to a brutal occupation, they didn’t start this. Per international laws their actions are legal and justified.

RadioFreeArabia ,

He’s Ukrainian, take him back!

Not sure what kind of morals those are, but they definitely do not belong to a truely civilized society.

FlyingSquid , in Newsmax pundit accuses Kamala Harris of 'doing blackface' to win presidency
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The four main MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris:

  1. She laughs.
  2. She hugs people.
  3. She’s pretending to be black.
  4. She’s black.
Timecircleline ,

You forgot that she’s a woman

FlyingSquid ,

You’re right, make that five.

TheReturnOfPEB ,

The next one is that she is not a real woman if they are sticking to the GOP playbook.

Yup, just wait for one single unflattering image of herself that shows something mildly androgynous about her and we won’t hear the end of it.

The next one is that she is not a real woman if they are sticking to the GOP playbook.

Well she is black after all… so that totally follows in MAGAtstan.

givesomefucks , in Climate change deniers make up nearly a quarter of US Congress

And that’s just the ones denying it…

Lots more understand it’s a real thing, but are perfectly happy we set record breaking fossil fuels production under Biden.

Because it’s one of the few things propping up “the economy”.

Unfortunately pulling coal out of the ground and shipping it to China where they burn coal less efficiently leads to even more climate change than just burning it here.

If the rest really cared, we wouldn’t be breaking records as we speak

@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

i might be misreading your point - apologies if so.

shipping coal to china

Was this a general, global statement? Or specifically the US mining coal to sell to china?

givesomefucks , (edited )

Here’s an article about the records we broke under Biden:

vox.com/…/biden-oil-production-climate-fossil-fue…

Here’s some specifically about shipping coal to China:

freightwaves.com/…/more-coal-is-being-shipped-by-…

spglobal.com/…/us-coal-shipments-to-china-surge-m…

But for your question:

Both. It’s not unique to the US, even though that’s what I was talking about. And China is (meant isn’t) the only country with few regulations buying it up.

Across the globe countries do stuff like a small amount of electric buses because voters do care about climate change. However as they use less fossil fuels, they still produce the same or even more. They just ship them to countries with less regulations resulting in more pollution before even factoring in the carbon costs to transport it.

Because climate change is a global issue, it still hurts the original country along with everyone else.

@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks - to be clear I wasn’t challenging you, just asking a follow up question, I appreciate the sources!

givesomefucks ,

No worries, I should have thrown some on the first comment.

People want things to better which is good.

But often they reflexively get mad when you point out things aren’t better just because some things around you are better.

If we’re going to fix a global problem, we need to look at the whole globe, not just what’s next to us.

Rhaedas ,

This is exactly why I hate uplifting news about some places reducing their emissions or other pollution. It paints the accomplishments as happening in a vacuum, when in fact the problem likely has been moved elsewhere. If all the major countries are decreasing pollution but the global picture still shows an increase, are we really fixing anything, or just shuffling the numbers around?

Nature is the only one not lying.

foggy , in Trump calls union leader who endorsed Kamala Harris ‘a stupid person’

I’m so glad Biden dropped out because now he just looks senile.

solsangraal ,

“senile” might just be the kindest word anyone could use to describe trump…

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You would have thought “weird” was the kindest, but it’s really getting under the skin of the MAGA crowd.

Bonesince1997 ,

They have fragile egos and no imagination. I’m not surprised in the slightest.

PugJesus ,

The elementary-school-graduate words were wasted on them, apparently.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s just funny that Biden tried everything from ‘convicted felon’ to ‘crazy guy’ and his surrogates added things like ‘rapist’ and ‘dictator’ and such and none of it got under their skin.

But ‘weird?’ That’s a bridge too far!

Bonesince1997 ,

Sometimes it’s the simplest things.

CobblerScholar ,

Saw on good point on here the other day. It gets under their skin so bad to be called weird because they know they are and their entire platform rests on convincing you that they aren’t

MataVatnik ,
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

Because their entire political platform is about superficial attacks on others while painting themselves as the cool normal people. Their entire existence hinges that they are normal relateble people, when you call them weird it means that they are in the same class that they’re attacking. It’s like those superficial bullies from high-school who in reality are tremendously insecure.

Viking_Hippie ,

Because they’re fascists.

To a fascist, weird = not normal = one of the OTHERS = an evil and dangerous abomination that must be eliminated one way or the other for the good of the Reich.

breadsmasher , in Climate change deniers make up nearly a quarter of US Congress
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

That seems like a fair reflection of the US population who deny climate change.

grue ,

But the amount of that is too damn high, too!

solsangraal ,

most GOP voters just bleat what they’re told to bleat by fox news and the 0.001% who have a financial interest in never moving away from fossil fuels
