Biden pushed for the mass displacement option early on, but Egypt, Jordan and other regional actors refused, just like they have so far under Trump.

It should but people love giving Europe a pass whenever they can for some reason.

While their statement is a hyperbolic and reductive statement about only the other side of the symbiotic relationship, we must also not strip Israel of its agency. Also, Israel≠Jews, as much as Israel tries to convince you they are the same.

In the macro scale. Yes, Israel is propped up by the west as a powerful tool against other regional powers and the imperial system funnels funds into their upkeep.

But it's also true that in the micro scale. Politicians are more directly and personally rewarded to keep those funds flowing (AIPAC exists regardless of tropes) and Israel uses the leverage they have as one of the more valuable strategic tools to grant them leeway others wouldn't have.

It's a two way street. Israel and The US/west aren't parasites leeching off one or the other, they're symbiotic.

Don't forget that the rest of Europe benefits from the imperialist projection in the same ways as the US does.

We have always lived under "might makes right". Ask any country that has been under the boot of western imperialism.

This is just the collapse of the charade of "rule of law" as the stranglehold of the western might begins to slip.

Nah, they will give it to their ISIS aligned collaborators and then shoot anyone/bomb anyone else who goes near it.

Nah I was just mocking the BBC but i see how it may have came off that way.

If they acknowledge it was peaceful yesterday why are they back today throwing tear gas and shooting people with "less than lethals".

We need to get that "Somewhat unfavorable" up into "very unfavorable". Maybe some of that "somewhat favorable" up into "somewhat unfavorable".

Unfortunately anyone with a "very favorable" view of Israel is either completely ignorant somehow or too far gone.

Hindu nationalism is huge in india and they HATE Muslims.

BBC accused of being a western propaganda outlet.

I mean

""To the antisemitic Greta and her fellow Hamas propaganda spokespeople, I say clearly: You should turn back—because you will not reach Gaza," Katz said, referring to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, one of the 12 people on board. "Israel will act against any attempt to break the blockade or assist terrorist organizations—at sea, in the air, and on land.""

Are they not just basically calling them Hamas?

I hope what I expect to happen doesn't happen, but if it does, I hope it will ignite an awakening among western people/governments.

They know that as the empire continues to fall and their overreach begins to affect more lives, protests will grow.

The standard pigs can handle what we have now, they can't handle what is to come.

Whether this move is to pre-empt a coming change of the "big beautiful bill" that guts medicare/medicaid and other social programs, an even broader "sweeping net" policy on immigration, direct hostilities with Iran/China, something else, or all of the above...

They are predicting a broad national outrage over something.

No this is from a CBS interview with Mike Wallace. But he understood this concept and spoke on it a few other times from what I see.

After a quick search of the text, this is a similar quote from his "Letter From Birmingham Jail", so maybe this is the specific one you were thinking of.

"The Negro has many pent up resentments and latent frustrations, and he must release them. So let him march; let him make prayer pilgrimages to the city hall; let him go on freedom rides -and try to understand why he must do so. If his repressed emotions are not released in nonviolent ways, they will seek expression through violence; this is not a threat but a fact of history. So I have not said to my people: “Get rid of your discontent.” Rather, I have tried to say that this normal and healthy discontent can be channeled into the creative outlet of nonviolent direct action. And now this approach is being termed extremist."

As for the rest, I'm not much of an MLK-head, so this is basically where my ability to be helpful ends.

As far as I know he ever advocated for it, but he understood it as an inevitable reaction.

Off the tip of my head the only specific quote I can think of is his

"I think that we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.”

I wonder what he will end up doing to be impeached and/or imprisoned. (As is tradition for the South Korean president)

Should we start taking bets?

Controversial amongst whom and for what reasons?

Without providing that context your critique is "...unhelpful at best"

Edit: to be clear, Hexbear is a large and active instance, so if you value their content (as I do) other instances being de-federated can be just as much, if not more, a mark against those instances. Hence why it matters who deems them controversial and why.

I don’t personally know who they are federated with, but as someone who’s only used Lemmy.ML, I can interact with their instance and I can interact with many (if not most, idk) other instances (.World, .Zip, Lemmygrad, DBzer0, etc). So if they are de-federated with those instances and you want to see both Hexbear and them, maybe come to Lemmy.ml.

Side note: is there a way to track de-federations aside from just searching for communities hosted there from within your instance?

"How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!" ~ The left.

But the old man is a masochist and part of a broader coalition and his role is to distract us with beating him while the rest of his group sacks the town.

Then when they are making their escape he jumps up and says "we could have stopped them if we worked together ! Look what you've done!" And keeps intentionally getting in our way while we try to chase the ransackers.

Then when they have escaped successfully he moves in with them and shares the loot while planning the next mission.

People are recommending all sorts of instances without telling them how many instances have de-federated from them and if they're federated with hexbear etc.

You only focus that criticism on this suggestion because you are obviously one of the people who don't like hexbear and want to frame your critique of the suggestion as more reasonable/less biased.

What exactly is the "reputation" hexbear has anyway? Being based?
