Not even trying to hide it anymore.
Why would they? Their important allies are cheering their genocide on.
Especially my own gold plated, all American shithole.
Just in case our supposedly wealthy nation's innumerable tent cities bursting with our own people dying of exposure and law enforcement harassment for the crime of being sub-optimal capital batteries didn't clue you in about who we are and how little we value human life in modern times.
It's funny that Isreal doesn't see any irony in what they're doing right now.
It makes me lose all hope for any future for our species that the Holocaust is just passing out of living memory, and the Far Right is on the Rise in Germany, and the Jewish State founded by the Holocaust's survivors is doing a genocide.
Humans as a species can't retain the importance of the lessons of history, even in the age of digital records. We just refuse. World War II ended 78 years ago, a single average human lifespan almost exactly, and here we are after most of the world and especially the parties most directly involved resolutely declared "never again."
TIL "never" ≈ 80 Earth years
Yes, history teaches us things always go in cycles, the type and length varies, but cycles. Those people who said never are dead, their children never had to live through it, so why would they say never?
Hey! I'm still alive and probably still have some decades to go. You can (and should) oppose fascism without being a direct survivor.
Why limit our retention of knowledge to the quantitative?
We shouldn't have to kill an entire people every generation to be too horrified to do it again, just as we don't have to relearn how to make transistors for processing units every generation.
Yeah, but look at that streak! The "never again" following the Great War was only ~15 years.
I continue to believe we're making measurable gains
Keep the faith Ted Lasso.
They need their lebensraum
Yeah it's just like that. Remember how Poland was shooting rockets into Germany and slaughtering the civilians there regularly? Oh wait, none of that happened.
Self-defense did not characterize Germany's behavior during world war II, it absolutely does characterize Israel's behavior regarding Palestine.
They absolutely do that's why they keep pumping out propaganda like the Taylor Swift bodyguard bs
Guess the Palestinian's should be thankful the statement implies there will be any Gaza left for them.
This trail of tears will surely end the cycle of violence and hate.
I think it was their foreign minister that was saying the other day that he considers every resident an enemy combatant...
So progress?
I'll play devil's advocate, while hate is definitely still there today, the military actions and trails of tears definitely stopped violence between the US and Native Americans.
That is top tier Devil Advocating.

Come on all, don't link to the fucking Washington Examiner.
…of course it will.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
