People were killing each other for a reason - it’s hard to just turn that off.

It’s not; it happens all the time. Israel simply doesn’t want to because they never had any intention of honoring the “ceasefire” in the first place, just like they never honored any other ceasefire they’ve signed with a weaker force.

(I just said “yawn”).

Proton VPN has a free plan with barely any restrictions.

It was a complete stream of articles aimed at discouraging voting based on a single issue while never posting anything showing that the other side was going to be worse on the same issue, let alone disastrous for so many other reasons.

Oh my god, facts! More seriously, nobody this side of Lemmy needs to learn how bad the Republicans are, and that sort of information is everywhere anyway. Nobody needs to be told that Trump is super duper bad, but many need to understand that Democrats won’t save them.

It was selective posting to promote an agenda of not voting.

Or maybe Democrats kept fucking up their campaign in newsworthy ways. If criticism of your camp makes someone the enemy, you should do some serious introspection. Yes, even if your camp is the self-proclaimed defenders of democracy; if you can’t hold your leaders accountable democracy is already dead.

Working to change the horrible status quo should be done outside of an election in which not voting is helping to usher fascism into the highest offices in this country.

That’s been the pitch for longer than I’ve been alive, and guess what? It never happens, because giving up your leverage willingly is a terrible negotiating tactic. Also, given that in America there’s an election every two years, what? Are people just supposed to keep their mouths shut and toe the party line a full 50% of their lives? And specifically the 50% in which they have the most leverage? Starting to smell of free speech zones in here. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Seeing as you’re calling Biden and Harris neo fascist this entire text is lost on you.

Huh? Don’t put words in my mouth; I called them proto-fascist. If they were as bad as the Republicans I would’ve called them fascist.

obviously don’t understand what this country lost by electing dipshit don into the presidency.

I do, but I also understand that kicking the can down the road was going to result in zero improvement whatsoever. You think there wouldn’t have been fascists running with significant support in 2026 and 2028? Fascism never deescalates on its own; the conditions leading to its emergence need to be addressed and neither the Democrats nor Americans as a whole have shown much willingness to do so. Liberal fuck ups are what fuels fascism; if you’re not going to take on the liberals when you can you’ll only get more fascism, not less. Electing Biden certainly did fuckall to stop Trump.

Yes, true, but the main driver of this round of infighting is ISIS-linked drug-trafficking Israeli collaborators. Holy evil bingo lmao.

The fact that they do have business accords and treaties with the Israeli has more to do with the fact that they are neighbors and Israel can basically land lock them, if they want.

They were doing fine until 1994, and less strictly until the early 2010s, so whatever problems they’re solving by trading with Israel are clearly not existential threats. Jordan is too valuable to Western interests for Israel to “landlock them” as you put it. You’d expect an Arab Muslim country to at least boycott Israel, not actively pursue trade relations with them. Given their actions, their rhetoric is meaningless. Now the Jordanian government isn’t run by Zionists obviously, but they clearly give much less of a shit than they want you to think.

I’m curious how you’d say they are more supportive to Israel than say the UK or other European countries, who have -with exemptions- more actively supported the Israeli.

That’s why I said “in the region.”

“But the anti-Hamas figures aren’t people like the Palestinian Authority; the anti-Hamas figures are collaborationist forces with the Israelis."

Implying the PA isn’t a collaborationist force, but also fucking ew.

Surprisingly he’s probably the most tolerable autocrat in that part of the world, but to answer your question: As with half the problems in the Middle East, the Brits did it.

Their rhetoric is passable if you squint, but their actions are really not. It’s a tossup between them, Egypt and the Emirates for the worst Zionist collaborators in the region.

The fact that there’s a whole section titles “economic relations” should tell you all you need to know, but to add insult to injury they helped protect Israel from the April 2024 Iran strikes.

Reset your universe and come back in ~14*10^9 years.

Oh wait, you helped them happen.

I don’t think Ozma had much role in the decades-long neoliberal exploitation of the working class, the entrenchment of inoffensive focus group politics in the DNC, the persistent rightward shift of the Democratic political establishment or Biden and co. gloating about how much they were helping Israel’s genocide.

Apparently it’s been forgotten that Ozma plastered several communities with articles trashing both Biden and Harris running up to the election.

Imagine posting facts that don’t paint ineffectual proto-fascists as the next best thing since sliced bread. Truly a crime against humanity.

It’s a lot to recipient countries because the American economy is whack, but in terms of American tax revenue, yes it is nothing.

The cuts totaled to like 13 billion dollars, so enjoy your 40$ I guess.

While it’s definitely not helping, the volume of money moving around (less than four million pounds year) is too small to be the only factor at play. (Neo)colonial ambitions, deference to daddy USA and plain inertia probably have at least as much to do with it.

What a farce.

Not incorrect, but “grift” is the term accepted in academia.

Translation: Me and my fellow Zionist collaborators are doomed because our citizens will notice we’re doing zilch to help Palestinians.

Not exactly the most surprising outcome of all time.

Enjoy. Long story short, though: Former terrorist (as in literally the leader of Igrun), founder of Likud and former Israeli PM. He got the prize with Sadat after signing the peace treaty with Egypt and proceeded to bomb Iraq and invade Lebanon three years later.

Oh, you’re right. TIL.
