Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Palestinian official says Hamas agrees to Gaza proposal, Israel dismisses itEnglish2·1 month agoJust removed them - sorry about that.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ship rescued by Malta after drone attackEnglish2·2 months agoOK, thanks for the heads-up.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent saysEnglish2·3 months agoMost of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlBanned from communityOPto News@lemmy.world•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish83·4 months agoRight here. Biden’s policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without PalestiniansEnglish12·5 months agoMany opposed Harris because she continued very active support to the Israeli genocide. Very few believed Trump would be better.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without PalestiniansEnglish12·5 months agoYeah, he was so much better than Trump. /s

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Human Rights Watch: Israel is guilty of extermination and acts of genocide in GazaEnglish242·7 months agoYes, and it is very positive that prominent human rights groups agree and document it. These reports can be used to pressure governments, universities, etc. to divest from Israel and to stop sending arms, software, etc. to Israel.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlBanned from communityto News@lemmy.world•How the Trump administration and congressional Republicans may crack down on pro-Palestinian protestersEnglish43·8 months agoThat statement is truly incredible! Biden helped give cover to Netanyahu (in addition to endless supplies of bombs) and drew one tiny red line for a few weeks (no bunker-busters in Rafah) and that faded quickly. He stopped funding UNWRA, even when other Western countries resumed it. Continuous support for Israel in the UN Security Council.
The West Bank example is grotesque. What effect did those sanctions have? None that I can see. The IDF has begun destroying infrastructure like they have done in Gaza, in addition to all of the killings.
So no, there is no reason to defend Biden/Harris. Is Trump worse? Yes, so what about it? Should we refrain from protesting because Democrats are in power right now?
Peter Link@lemmy.mlBanned from communityto News@lemmy.world•How the Trump administration and congressional Republicans may crack down on pro-Palestinian protestersEnglish81·8 months agoAren’t the elections over? Whatever “strategic” excuse for supporting Biden/Harris is gone now. It’s a bi-partisan policy of unconditional support for Israel.
It’s true Trump will be more extreme, but there is no longer any excuse for going easy on Biden/Harris, if there ever was.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•The Amsterdam 'Pogrom' That Wasn't: Corporate Media Fails To Tell the Whole StoryEnglish2·8 months agoYes, you are right. For more in-depth coverage and analysis, take a look at the article in this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/22677649

I just checked NSFW so we should be good now. Thanks for the heads-up. I didn’t realize the photo was in NSFW territory but I will keep that in mind in the future. Thanks again.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlBanned from communityOPto News@lemmy.world•Swing-State Voters Disillusioned With Kamala Harris Can Swap for Two Non-Swing-State VotesEnglish916·8 months agoI just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for Jill Stein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for Harris. I feel much better now. :-)
