the fact that news articles aren't using the words "ethnic cleansing" on the title is near criminal.

[–] LinguisticKerosene@lemmy.wtf 10 points 3 weeks ago

No, it’s doing its job perfectly. Euronews, much like all national and european media are on board with the zionists. Really it makes me want to vomit.

So, are we the west opposing Israel enough? Have we begun the full embargo?

[–] npdean@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago

The West has strongly condemned them. What else can they do

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice to see those who would have been victims of the Madagascar plan are repeating the same steps on their path to genocide. Its uncanny how much this rhymes at this point.

The vast majority of Israelis are of Middle Eastern or Eastern European descent, in that order. Most of these guys had nothing to do with the Holocaust or anything that led up to it.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, most of the victims of the Holocaust didn't make it out of the Holocaust.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

I mean yes, and most of the people that did ended up going to America rather than Israel. My point is that the popular myth that Israeli Jews are somehow deeply tied to the Holocaust and other horrors of fascism and that's why they fled to Palestine is just that, a myth. Israel tries to play up that supposed connection to get Western sympathy, but again nothing of the sort exists. The parent comment is building on this myth by implying that the people of Israel are doing to others what has been done to them when in reality that's not true.

I did, and? I guess there was a typo but I don't see your point.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Which holocaust are you referring to?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, how many capital H Holocausts are there? The Madagascar Plan was IIRC a Nazi Germany plan to dump all Germany's Jews in Madagascar.

Forced expulsion aside (yes, I know that's a huge fucking asterisk): Of all the places ... South Sudan? Really?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 9 points 3 weeks ago

They couldn't get anyone else to accept them, because doing so as a neighbor of Israel means setting yourself up for war (or occupation) 10 years down the line, and if any of those Zionist stooges were willing to do that they'd have went to war already. Also I should note that the vast majority of South Sudanese don't speak Arabic, so this would be somehow even worse than dumping them in Sinai or something.

"resettle" = Israel is stealing land that already belonged to someone

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 13 points 3 weeks ago

I have no words.

And it would be so easy to stop them.

Wish I could personally stop all funds flowing into Israel right now.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They could resettle them in Gaza. It's been recently razed, so the possibilities are huge.

[–] FatCrab@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

This is actually yet another terrible outcome of Israel's genocide from my understanding--the habitability of the entire area is effectively in question due to the sheer volume and degree of devastation that has been wrought. Effectively, even if Israel magically became a non-rogue state today, a resettlement and reparations program is necessary across Israel/Palestine for the survivors.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

They’re going to die there. Sudan has been in conflict and genocide my entire adulthood

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Was Madagascar not available?

The moderate Israeli majority are the only ones who can stop this, now that the US has made it perfectly clear which side it's on. It seems, though, that they are content to merely wave a sign around in protest. They want peace, but not enough to actually do anything about it.

Time for a general strike in Israel.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 3 weeks ago

Moderate what now? According to a recent poll, 80% of Israeli Jews aren't brothered by the suffering of Palestinians. Look up the Tel Aviv University Peace Index; Israeli society is rotten to the core. The moderate position in Israeli politics is "we should prioritize the safety of the hostages, of course without compromising the Great Patriotic War™." The people who give enough of a shit about the genocide to act are a fringe minority among fringe minorities

now that the US has made it perfectly clear which side it's on.

US's been perfectly clear which side it's on for decades; Trump is just louder about it.
