Stop enabling the genocide? Please?
Best they can do is thoughts and prayers. Oh wait, that was school shootings. Never mind then.
School bombings don’t qualify.
Israelis don’t have the guts to even look the children in their eyes as they slaughter them. Cowards.
When they actually face real soldiers like in Southern Lebanon they get their arses handed to them.
All they know is blow up pager, burn refugee camp, bomb hospitals, shoot pregnant women in belly, rape men to death, and sniper bullets in kid’s heads.
I’m also offended by Israeli war crimes but I don’t think that’s an accurate assessment.
As far as I can tell, the Israeli military is very good at violence. They’re extremely well equipped, they have superb training, and their military personnel tend to be dedicated to their cause.
The main problem isn’t their ability to kill and destroy, it’s their indiscriminate use of that ability.
Of course they look them in the eyes! It helps them aim for the head!
It’s much more respectable to mob a peace music festival and kill the kids there.
Implying that the only two options are supporting Israel committing genocide or Hamas committing terrorism is like straight out of of the Israeli regime’s playbook.
Yes, because condemnation of Israel is an automatic voice of support of what happened on 10/7. Nice logic there buddy.
Ignorance of the causes is a voice of support for terrorists. I’m digging your logic as well.
I agree. Your ignorance of why the 10/7 attacks happened is a voice of support for the genocidal-terrorist state of Israel.
You’re referencing a terrorist attack from a year ago. Keep up.
Yep, as I keep saying, and keep getting downvoted in this bs echo chamber of Iranian talking points, both sides are fucking awful and that isn’t going to change.

machinin was thrown out of a window
Anybody? Any solution will do, cmon people
Not those islams!
Okay, now let us know how you plan to keep Hamas and Hezbollah from continuing to attack Israel. Or does it not count when Jews are being genocided?
After burning those kids alive, honestly, I’ve given up caring what happens to the people in Israel.
You’re a bad person then.
You should care. The people are not the leadership.
Apparently the people don’t care enough to stop their soldiers from burning kids alive. Why should I care what happens to them?
That’s pretty reductive. How much power do you think the Israeli people have?
I’m American. I know my country is funding this genocide. All I have is my vote, which has very little impact. I care a lot, but other than my vote I’m powerless to stop my government from arming Israel.
The Israeli citizens are similarly powerless.
Aaron Bushnell said he wasn’t going to let the U.S. do a genocide in his name.
Majority of Americans support a ceasefire. Majority of Israelis support what the IDF is doing. There’s a big difference.

The current extremist government in Israel knows exactly what they need to do to stop Hamas and Hezbollah from continuing to attack Israel, they just don’t want to. They’d rather continue to create the conditions for extremism so that these attacks can be used as justification to finish their genocide.
At this point we know that if you keep an entire group of people poor and oppressed with no prospect of economic opportunity or achieving a viable state, they become easier to recruit into a terrorist group. What have they got left to lose? Why NOT grab a rocket and attack your oppressors? This is why international law doesn’t allow the creation of stateless persons…
Israel could STOP settlement expansion into the West Bank, first and foremost. They could start complying with international law and internationally recognized borders. They could stop working AGAINST a two state solution.
Maybe the Israelis could stop assassinating their own leaders when they work towards peaceful solutions. They could also stop radicalizing their own youth and defense forces to believe that the only solution is to exterminate the Palestinians.
There is a whole range of things that they could do… I wonder why they don’t?
What they need to do to stop Hamas and Hazbollah from attacking them is to eliminate them entirely.
I don’t think you understand that the continued existence of groups who’s only purpose in life is to kill a specific subset of people CAN NOT be allowed to exist. They CAN NOT run a state, they CAN NOT be expected to honor any sort of peace treaty.
I’m not blind. I know damn well Israel is committing atrocities during the war. The problem is that the people they’re fighting against are worse than them, so it only makes sense to support Israel until these terrorist groups are dead and gone.
Where did all these evil people come from? Is it possible that Israel’s actions are just going to create even more and worse terrorist groups? Or you think the surviving children will grow up and look kindly on Israel for killing their parents and destroying their homes?
You would rather take your chances with the terrorists that already stated they want to genocide all Jews… Because the alternative is that some of their children might have the same viewpoint in the future?
Wow what a tough choice.
How about stop creating terrorists? These people attack the rest of us too. Is the Israeli plan just to kill every Arab in the region?
Damn what a good idea. Stop creating terrorists. Please tell us how you plan to do that!
I’m sure your answer surely isn’t “Well just go back to Israel getting rockets launched at them every day but they aren’t allowed to retaliate!”
“Just let another October 7th massacre happen. But they aren’t allowed to retaliate!”
I’m sure eventually the terrorists will just give up or something right?
Genuinely though, if you have a better answer I’m all ears because I haven’t heard of one yet and I would love to look for better options.

You aren’t allowed to criticize Hamas and Hezbollah on here. Only IDF. Or actually all of Israel. Unless you are some Iranian-backing anti-Zionist, you get downvoted. It’s too bad what has happened to discourse on Lemmy that people aren’t even willing to contemplate the actions of all parties involved.

If you aren’t anti-arab a nice gesture might be to stop murdering them.
But there is a lot of water in Lebanon. Israel wants that.
Yeah, good luck with that. Islamophobia is one of Trump’s tentpoles.
This is Peak Liberalism. Saying this while genociding them.
“we SEE you, we HEAR you, but Israel needs money . . .”
And what about the U.S. casualties, should we not care about them?
Peak liberalism
No more Islamophobia if there aren’t Islamic people any more 🤷♂️ /s
This is pure Liberal brainrot, sometimes reality feels like a parody of itself. I dont even have much to say tbh, im too tired for this bs.
Not only hypocrisy, but also not true at all lol.
Biden pretty much okay’d Universities arresting their students to stop protests because his lobbyists threatened to withhold funding for both the party and each respective university.
Of course he didn’t care about the zionist mob that attacked UCLA students, so it’s pretty clear where he stands.
Setting aside the hypocrisy, is it just me or is it infuriating how the whole article is a whole lot of nothing?
Did you even read it? It states literally 20 bullets on how the Executive Branch will combat racism.
I just read that list. As near as I can tell they put a lot of words in that don’t actually promise anything helpful. Maybe I’m wrong.
Let’s make it as easy as possible to show this plan in a good light. Instead of finding one bad bullet point in that list and tearing it up, let’s see if we can find one good one.
Out of that entire list, which bullet point do you think has the best chance to actually “counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate?”
edit: grammar
I didn’t see any bullet points about no longer genociding arabs.
According to the White House site linked here that you didn’t read, we only care about the ones that pay U.S. taxes or live in the US, including Muslim immigrants in the US. The others outside of the USA can go fuck themselves.

Fucking pathetic.
wtf is wrong with these people!
Anti-arab hate… let’s see… Arab hate is bad, so anti-arab hate is good… but they are trying to “counter” anti-arab hate, so that’s bad?
