  • The “fact check site” links to the now completely debunked New York Times article as “evidence” for the rapes. You are arguring against a large amount of evidence here that has been verified independently multiple times. Hamas murdered children, and they also raped women.

    I probably won’t convince you, but for the people who care about truth: “The grayzone” you’re linking here is everything but a reputable news source.

    From the wikipedia article:

    The Grayzone has been criticized for defending authoritarian regimes.[4][20][34][40][61] In Reorienting Hong Kong’s Resistance: Leftism, Decoloniality, and Internationalism, The Grayzone was described as “known for misleading reporting in the service of authoritarian states”.[25] Nerma Jelacic, writing in the Index on Censorship, described The Grayzone as “a Kremlin-connected online outlet that pushes pro-Russian conspiracy theories and genocide denial.”[62] In 2019, The Grayzone had claimed the Commission for International Justice and Accountability, of which Jelacic is a director, collaborated with ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra affiliates.[62]

    You spread disinformation. You’re not helping anyone by doing that. Just stop, okay?



  • that “anti-semitism” dog-whistle is just pure racism

    ahh alright, calling out anti-semitism is racist now? You’re watering down the definition of both of these issues. Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is antisemitic. That’s not up to debate for me.

    (which only a racist would think), hence Israel represents all of them, hence criticism of Israel is anti-semitism.

    okay, typical Motte-and-bailey. you compared Israel to Nazi Germany. I called you out on that. Moreover, I called Netanyahu “full of shit” and said “IDF is committing reprehensible war crimes”. I’m criticizing Israel. Doesn’t make me an Anti-Semite. This kind of stuff always happens. “Israel is like Nazi Germany!!1” (Motte) and “Oh I’m just criticizing Israel” (Bailey)

    but it even has already exceed the rate of killing of civilians of pretty much everybody but the Nazis

    You’re making this up. Please have at least the decency and give me sources.

    but in terms of the rate of civilian deaths it certainly has already exceeded everything else but the actual Holocaust

    The hamas killed 1200 people in a single say. that would be 108000 in 90 day, exceeding the “rate of civilian deaths” of the IDF bombing. Is this a shitty argument? yes, it is awful, and so is yours. It is a fucking tragedy and it needs to end. But why do you use these numbers to desperately frame Israel as Nazis?

    Important to note: between May and July 1944, the Nazis killed over 400 000 Hungarian Jews in Auschwitz.

    Again: Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is detached from reality, and antisemitic. You are not helping anyone by doubling down on claiming it is.

    Think a second about those who are actually affected by the conflict, who understand how complex and twisted it is and who genuinely look for ways to find peace. People who oppose the war, the occupation, Netanyahu’s government, Hamas. These people are drowned out by westeners entirely unaffected by the conflict, claiming to know better what is going on, and resort to simplistic, tribalistic and hateful language.






  • fair point - noone on reddit buys awards so that they can contribute to reddit financially - people do that to draw more attention to the kind of content they like. So I thought you could use that to get more money to people who can make use of it. So to the donors it wouldn’t primarily be a donation. if lemmy.world is doing well for now - that’s great for them, but there are many groups who can make really use it.
