161 years ago, more than 50,000 Americans died in the Battle of Gettysburg.
In the 21st century, residents of formerly Confederate states express greater support for political violence (even after adjusting for partisanship, race, gender & more).
@VoxClamans@plink@palestine@israel Except for propaganda purposes? Interesting.
Quoting the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide", the official document that defines genocide, Article II:
"In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
You piece of human crap. I'm not asking you to change your views, I'm asking you to stop presenting lies as facts.
There is not much left of Rafah any more, most of the eastern and western parts are flattened and the central part of the town are almost like Gaza city.
Netanyahu did what everyone said he would not dare, he took over philadelphia corridor, entered Gaza, displaced half a million people, blocked food entry to north and the south and completely destroyed UNRWA under the eyes of the Biden, Sunak and EU.
The hypocrisy and cowardice of the so called world leaders against this out of control Israeli trump and his Israeli KKK ministers is truly nauseating.
If you could ask the #Republican candidate (who shall remain nameless in these posts) any question at the upcoming #PresidentialDebate, what would you ask?
@plink@palestine@israel They just don't want the world to see their atrocities. It is that simple. They control the borders and who can go in and out. They want to be able to kill with even more impunity.
une petit biais sur le slogan'de ma rivière à la mer"
parce que les pacifistes, et ils sont massifs , ne veulent rien d'autre qu'un état laïque.
C'est à dire séparé l’État des religions ... ce que beaucoup d'israéliens et de pro-israéliens à l'étranger refusent en ne voulant pas voir l'aspect séparatiste d'un état privilégiant un seul culte.
Et hélas même un état sensé être laïc comme la France est dirigé par des anti-laïcs (comme Macron et les droites en général)
@omar_bayramoglu @TruthSandwich is a troll. He proved so obnoxious that no other Mastodon instance would put up with him. He had to start his own instance. The fact that he could do that implies financial (and probably political) backing.
I'm so fed up with mods falling for the #aipac "holocaust inversion" bullshit, I'm going to start reporting all #Israel apologist posts as "supporting violent ideologies."
Demonstrators said that if President Biden would not draw a “red line” after #Israeli forces began an assault on #Rafah, they would draw the red line for him.
“I believe that Trump can be placed among a long line of demagogues who possess the skills needed to tap into the fears and anxieties of a group of people that perceives itself as marginalized, at risk and not in control.”
@TheConversationUS@blackmastodon ..." a group of people that perceives itself as marginalized, at risk and not in control.” That group of people got him elected the first time, and included Blacks. This Trump is a politician and will lose much of his prior support base. Only Republicans now. There is also no real choice of opposition. Biden never should have been elected. The US is overwhelmed with political savvy. Nobody really cares.
Hmm this seems to be more russian election meddling courtesy of our favorite sellouts who don't actually give a damn about anyone other than who is paying them, #codepink
Donald Trump has made it clear he will allow ol' Bibi to overrun Gaza. The only way to end this is to vote in a Democrat majority in the House and Senate. A vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump.
I didnt ratify the 1789 constitution, so using it as a club to get me to vote for Genocide plus American Fascism or Genocide plus American Oligarchy is a false choice
Mathematically, you are right. Duvigers law is. Morally you are wrong.
