We have enough rightwing dipshits already. Can confirm that we would not like you and rather take some based refugees who just want to live their lives.

The trial supports the opposite of what this comment is indicating. The role of the ICJ is to determine whether Israel’s alleged actions are capable of being covered by the Genocide Convention. Today they decided that this is indeed the case and the measures they announced, as meager as they are, are legally binding. A final decision will be probably only made in a couple of years.

I know this is a troll but just to be clear the role of the ICJ is literally to determine whether Israel’s alleged actions are capable of being covered by the Genocide Convention. Today they decided that this is indeed the case and the measures they announced, as meager as they are, are legally binding.

The ICJ has just taken up a case finding the accusations against Israel plausible, so…

[–] Oliofizodos@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah absolutely, since their wording is so vague there’s not really a bar that they would need to meet.

Expected and disappointing statement. This just backs the non-statement of saying Israel should “do what it can” to protect civilians. The simplest way to protect civilians is to order an immediate ceasefire. This will help Biden to continue supporting the genocidal campaign that Israel is conducting on the Palestinians, because nothing he says opposes the ICJ.

Yeah that’s true. But the deal was always that Palestinian/Muslim voters accept that they are the victims of geopolitics and in return there’s at least some kind of support.

But with Biden giving Israel the opportunity to commit an outright genocide in front of the world, he has crossed a line. We have reached a point where a „both sides bad“ and „it’s complicated“ policy just doesn’t work anymore.

First of all, your system is broken. Second, what is a Palestinian American supposed to do? Biden is literally providing the ammunition to kill their families. Trump isn’t any better, but that doesn’t mean voting for another genocidal maniac is a viable option.

You asking Palestinian/Muslim Americans to simply look past that is a very self centered perspective. You say then people will be deported and thrown into camps. That’s what Palestinians were fleeing from in the first place. They fled before, they’ll do it again if they have to. They’re living in diaspora anyway. So do the millions of other Muslim Americans who are here because of Western geopolitics.

You on the other hand who try to bully them into voting for Biden because it serves your purpose, have nowhere to go. If you want progress for your country and you consider Biden only the lesser evil. Instead of bullying fellow Americans into serving your purpose, why don’t you focus on your common goal instead? Respect their opinion, support their cause.

Join their protests against Biden, pressurize him into stopping the genocide, pressurize the DNC into sending someone else as their presidential candidate.

Greece Malaka! The original Europeans, the honorary middle easterners. Great food, beautiful nature, lovely people. Additionally, Athens is a fucked up but also very interesting place.

I’m hating on the influx of non-European tourists that are willing to pay the most ridiculous prices. This has made most of the islands impossibly expensive, where 5 years ago it was still very affordable if you avoided places like Mykonos and Santorin.

What crisis? I’m having a lot of problems, inflation, rent increases, not getting doctors appointments, slow internet, lack of digitalization, the glooming outlook on climate change, shitty public transportation, my government funding a genocide to name a few of them.

I couldn’t care less about some people coming here from somewhere else. I don’t have any negative consequences of this in my daily life. But all of the above are impacting my quality of life every day. I don’t care what kind of fearmongering bs right wing dipshit politicians are making up to scam people into voting for them. I want the above issues and many others to be addressed.

Mir macht dieser generelle Trend dennoch Sorge. Ist ja nicht neu, dass die Leute in Köln oder Berlin mehrheitlich pro Vielfalt sind. Aber man muss dann eigentlich nur die in die Eifel oder nach Brandenburg gehen und sieht dort vielerorts das komplette Gegenteil. Das wird sich auch so schnell nicht ändern. Es müsste halt wirklich ein unermüdlicher Kampf gegen Rechts stattfinden. Parteien verbieten, Strukturen zerschlagen, die Grenze des sagbaren wieder verschieben. Das sehe ich aber irgendwie nicht als realistisch an.

Ich bin froh, dass sich hier langsam etwas bewegt. Die Lage ist wirklich unerträglich und ein sofortiger Waffenstillstand ist ein Muss um die Zivilbevölkerung zu schützen.

Auch wenn mMn „westliche Werte“ sowieso schon lange im Mittelmeer abgesoffen und in Stellvertreterkriegen kaputt gebombt wurden. Diese uneingeschränkte Unterstützung seitens der deutschen Regierung trägt zur Destabilisierung unser Demokratie bei.

Wer soll uns noch glauben, dass wir z.B. die Ukraine aus purer Nächstenliebe unterstützen? Hier geht es nur um Geopolitik. In Deutschland leben allerdings Millionen Menschen aus der Region, hunderttausende Palästinenser. Und denen zeigt man gerade, dass ihre Stimmen und auch ihr Leiden nichts wert sind. Zusammen mit der Untätigkeit gegenüber der AFD finde ich das eine sehr gefährliche Botschaft.

Dieser Konflikt geht uns mittlerweile alle was an, weil wir nicht ignorieren können, dass die Interessen unserer Bürger nicht durch die deutsche Staatsräson abgebildet sind. Und in dem Sinne muss sich da auch was dran ändern, wenn wir am sozialen Frieden interessiert sind.

Vielleicht wäre das auch ein erster Schritt, unseren moralischen Kompass nochmals zwei auszurichten, sodass westliche Werte universell gelten. Dann glaubt uns vielleicht auch einer wieder das mit der Freiheit und der Demokratie. In dem Sinne, vielen Dank an die 20 SPDler und ich hoffe, das werden mehr.
