  • An Apartheid is not a democracy.

    Even if it were, those aren't mutually exclusive. Most, if not all democracies are flawed in some fashion.

    But still the war cabinet fully supports what Netanyahu is saying here.

    So much so that members have been on the verge of resigning several times. You underestimate just how frail Netanyahus position really is.

    So you are correct to point out that it is not just Netanyahu but the israeli government that does not want a ceasefire.

    It does, just not at the terms Hamas demands.

    The rest of your comment makes no sense.

    I'm perfectly willing to clarify. If there is something you fail to understand, please highlight it.

  • That's usually the argument leveraged against platforms that don't fold to demands to deplatform individuals with reprehensible views.

    The good old "You're either with us or against us" spiel is excellent at destroying any nuance.

  • Netanyahu is not the end-all-be-all of Israeli decisionmaking. Unlike Hamas, the Israeli state is a democratic institution. If an agreement is formulated between that guarantees the Israeli citizenry that Gazan islamic terrorists won't repeat an october 7 massacre in the future, Netanyahu will not be able to stop it. Time is what is needed to create such an agreement.

    However, as always, Hamas prioritizes their own interests above those of the Gazan populace. They know very well Israel can not realistucally agree to an unconditional, permanent end to hostilities, as that was the situation that led to october 7th in the first place.

    At the minimum I would expect a permanent end to the war to be conditioned on Hamas releasing the remaining civilian hostages.

  • Oh it's a problem here to. You do not want to know how much information is passed on through rapidly scrawled sticky notes in our healthcare system - particularly in emergency situations.

  • As I've previously elaborated on in a comment in reply to a similar statement - this has less to do with being anti-islam and more to do with being anti-religion. The French have had a long history with organized religion.

  • You can have a look here (government site in Swedish) for crimes divided by category:

    https://bra.se/statistik/statistik-om-brottstyper.html

    Whilst the sum total of crimes has fallen, the amount of serious violent crime has significantly increased and in some categories to never-before seen levels in Swedish history (bombings for instance).

    In these statistics I would highlight murders, organised crime, threats and attempts to influence society, threats and harassment, weapon crimes, sex crimes and vandalism.

  • Yeah, I honestly give very few shits about the political opinions of the lemmy devs as long as it doesn't taint the project itself -and if it did at some point in the future, forking an open-source project is stupidly easy.

    I even donate a smidge of money to the development effort via librepay - man does need it to live after all.

    Dessalines & Nutomic put a lot of effort into building and maintaining the lemmy codebase. I respect that.

  • French culture has a long and bloody history specifically centered around getting rid of religious rule (read christianity), and implementing laws that essentially amount to freedom from religion. This is unlike a lot of other countries which focused on freedom of religion.

    When large muslim communities form, this often leads to the imposition of their religious expressions upon others. This specifically clashes with French culture, where religion is a private matter, for private spaces. Hence why many french react strongly when muslims complain about how the very laws they relied on to rid themselves of the yoke of Christianity is somehow specifically discriminatory against them.

    No, it's not discriminatory against islam or muslims in particular. It's a defence mechanism against the imposition of regressive, anti-humanist values on the general population by organized religion.
