Everyone wants ‘peace’, but you should ask people what peace means. For Israelis, peace means that every Palestinian is either murdered or forcably removed from their land. For Palestinians, peace means that they are allowed to move freely within Palestine and have the same rights as Israelis.
Without military resistance Palestine would not exist. Israel has always been clear about their intention to wipe out all of Palestine. There was never a moment where Palestinians could stop Israel from invading in any other way than fighting back.

This is a very small minority of Gazans. Most Gazans know that Hamas is the only party standing in the way of a full ground operation of the genocidal forces into Gaza. When Palestinians are no longer facing genocide they can start demanding a government that represents every Palestinian, until then they don’t have that luxury.
Antizionist jewish voices are being silenced by Western media. How many articles have you read about jewish people who are afraid of anti genocide protesters, and how many articles have you read about antizionist jewish people angry about the genocide? I can assure you that the proportion of antizionist jews is much bigger than what Western media would make you think. Their crimes and complicity will come to light at some point.
Ukraine is so fucked. With their infrastructure bombed, men killed and all social infrastructure and natural resources sold off to private/foreign investors… And the rich still profit off of all of this misery.
It’s not. Germany is Israel’s 2nd biggest supporter after the US in terms of sending weapons and criminalising antizionism
Interesting that you say that
That last part is transphobic. No trans person represents the trans community and setting higher standards for trans people than cis people is transphobic. You can call them out for being a troll, but using someone’s gender identity in an insult is always transphobic.
Nato propagandists are organising a tour around educational institutions in my country to convince people that military spending needs to be increased and sell nationalist pro war talking points. I’m more worried about them than the Russians tbh.
Serbian protests had the support of most of the general population. The students faced a lot of state violence as well, but this only made their case stronger and caused more people to join. Protests like these for the most part are a numbers game. The more people join in the safer it is. The US population has been pacified and I see the only way to improve conditions is to agitate and depacify.
So you’re right that the condition in the US are different and that a different approach might be needed, but sitting by and doing nothing will for sure not help. I’m really tired of people on lemmy throwing their hands in the air while less fortunate people are being harmed by your government’s actions. It pains me to see how little people actually care if it turns out they need to actually make sacrifices to change anything.
Serbian students have been occupying most university faculties for months to organise and facilitate the protests. You don’t get your leaders to step down by complaining on the internet.
Most social media? Instagram, youtube, tumblr, bluesky. And I bet there’s tons of forums by and for women.
There’s many internet spaces that are better than lemmy regarding misogyny, any platform that does not have a strong majority of cis men is probably better than lemmy.
I was on trollx and it was a nice community. A community with a name derived from two X chromosomes will never be fully trans inclusive though.
The is why dull_mens_club gives me really bad vibes. Any similar community aimed at women would be harassed into oblivion.
‘Man’ isn’t ‘designated’ to anything. We just exist and are sentient and able to think about what we would like our lives to look like. Most people would like to live a life beyond working 40 hours a week on a job they don’t enjoy and where they have no say in anything. We have enough resources to make sure everyone has a home and food and can live a fulfilling life, if only those resources were divided in a fair way.
Microplastics stay in the body forever, fats, carbs and salts don’t.
Double standards would be correct since EU member states send weapons to Israel that are being used to commit genocide.
People need to face the reality that currently for a lot of people it’s just not possible to escape the reality of living in financial distress and on the edge of homelessness their whole lives. Just because you know of some lucky people who were able to escape it doesn’t mean that it’s possible for everyone. It’s really demeaning to tell people to ‘work harder’ or ‘change it up’ ‘you’ll get there!’. Because you’re implying that it’s their fault if it doesn’t get better.
The only way to change this reality is to change the system we live in, and to stop letting rich people rule our economies and thus our lives.
If that were true they would’ve had peace long ago. https://decolonizepalestine.com/myth/israel-has-always-sought-peace/
