As someone from Ireland, this hits really hard. The British did this to us, they called it the great famine while they shipped food out of the country. Over a million Irish people died and so many more left in ships. We still carry it today even tho it happened so long ago. Palestine may recover but this treatment will remain in their hearts forever. Ireland is with you Palestine. We are a small country but our history will tell you that you can get rid of the colonisers yourself, just keep fighting!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Let's not forget that this genocide is proudly supported by "the land of the free" propagandists, ruling class and population.
Actively enabled and supported in the most vehement manner
Kill all the "leaders" who don't actively fight against the support towards Israel. Ain't nothing going to change otherwise.
Even "progressive" presidents like Finland's Alexander Stubb and their prime minister Petteri Orpo deserve to die, they're still willing to deal arms with murderers

If you’re still supporting Israel in the year 2025, there’s something seriously wrong with you as a person. You do not have a normal, healthy sense of empathy and morality.
There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.
Remember to never have respect for nearly any politician in congress no matter what party it is. Unless they spoke up they deserve less respect than dog shit.
Germany and Austria still have to support them, otherwise they instantly fight back with WW2 arguments which are all irrelevant by now.
So they are scared of words? That's a pretty bullshit excuse.
Yeah, this kind of shit was supposed to be with the end of Apartheid South Africa. I'm going to feel pretty uncomfortable until there's some kind of inquiry into how Zionism got such a grip on the discourse.
But, this isn't a news article.
A life time of indoctrination that Israel was a just solution to the Holocaust, despite Palestinians having nothing to do with it. When we grew up, we knew Israel planted foreign trees to hide the Palestinian villages they destroyed, but it wasn't until Kamala Harris bragged about it that I learn Americans collected donations to plant trees in Israel to "make the desert bloom" 🤮🤮
There is another theory that some of the European powers actually agreed with Hitler to some degree. He was a darling politician to a lot of these people at one point before history got sour. And while maybe they weren't fans of Hitler's solution, they did see an opportunity to kick the Jewish Problem somewhere else. Apparently Hitler himself tried a Zionist approach at one point. The reality is that because decisions in society involve many people, there is a plurality of sentiments responsible for a decision winning in the end.
The people who felt sympathy for the Jews wanted to do something nice. The people who didn't didn't mind seeing them go. The first among the motives sounds nicer so they painted it as that being the only reason. So it seems everyone agreed. Palestinians sure didn't. But I guess no one phoned them on the decision.
What's a fun alternate history question is if German Zionist efforts succeeded how German established Israel would have played out with the Palestinians. There is an opportunity for a 100% converged timeline because there's no reason to think things wouldn't have gone equally wrong. If Germany won the war you might still have a 2024- Isreal/Palestinian conflict. There's a chance though nukes wouldn't be involved.
You're not the first person to suggest it's some kind of quasi-religion, but I still don't understand it. The people who support it for actual religion are around, and I understand that, but they're not numerous enough to run the show. And, even if you see the Nakba as justified, that doesn't excuse anything they're doing now.
Side note, I'm surprised this post is still up.
this isn't a news article.
You should wonder why this is not front page news every day.
I’m baffled by the whole situation. The irony is totally lost on the Israeli government. Flee right winged extremism, only to become them. What a ride!
This is why healing is so important. They didn't heal, instead they harbored a grudge. It's just like an abused child growing up and abusing their own children. Some people are unable or unwilling to do the work to break the cycle.
a grudge they took out on the people that helped them during their holocaust
