@Ryan26Mr@ditchmade153882@stags4th but they did conquer and steal and continue to do so in gaza and the west bank. legality does not imply morality, especially when colonial powers had outsized influence in the un
@Ryan26Mr@stags4th it is pretty basic colonialism - it has to do with the expulsion and subjugation of a native population, it was just taken from other colonial powers. the u.n. proposal was inherently. regardless, calling an ideology evil imo is not the same as calling alil jewish people evil
@ditchmade153882@Ryan26Mr@stags4th the morality of individuals is complex and often fluid or even contradictory. the morality of an idea is a lot easier to judge and colonialism is very much evil imo
@Ryan26Mr@stags4th i don’t think the majority of jewish people are but a colonial ideology is. it’s the action not the people i take issue with. a good parallel is that i don’t think us citizens are all evil but the idea of manifest destiny is.
@Ryan26Mr@stags4th still not monolithic…just calling the colonial ideology of zionism evil. just because there’s overlap between the two groups doesn’t make it target jewish people
It’s sinful that Gary, Indiana isn’t the topic that Democrats are talking about everyday on the news, and instead are trying to get a Twitch streamer shot by an unstable person because Israel said so.
Fox News has now covered Hasan Piker 5 times more than the ongoing Iran War for the month of August.
Hasan Piker was mentioned 224 times
Iran War was only mentioned 44 times.
The Iran War has costed US taxpayers over $150 billion so far.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
@ianrileyx1996 it’s better than nothing but like come on? we need more diverse voices not only for representation but to give us more stories and less of the same slop every year. take a risk!
