Imagine being stuck between Hamas, who uses your suffering to increase support for their cause, and Israel who is more than happy to kill you anyway. And rather than sympathise with these poor people you take to the internet to defend the murderers in the IDF just because the other side is also bad.

Imagine if you were close enough to your humanity to feel for the people suffering instead of just running transparent PR for the ones killing thousands and thousands of children

It's really weird how they emphasise this "rape and abuse of women" line when things are looking bad for them. It's like they see this as the thing that generates the most outrage, and all they have left say in their defense is "Hamas is evil." So they try to make everyone focus on the emotional response to the horrors on October 7th so it "feels" like this is a fair justification.

They have had this footage for over 7 months. And it just so happens that they sat on it until now, and released it shortly after the ICJ ruling. Hmmmmmmm

They seem to think they can distract everybody with this like they're jingling keys for a baby

Adding to the other answers... This is kind of just "for show" in that most of the time you only use the relevant terms, I can't even imagine what type of problem you'd have to be solving to need to write all this out. Really it's just "here are all of the interactions" and not "oh shit we have to do some particle physics stuff get out the monster equation."

They add ... sometimes to signify that they're just taking pieces.

This is so fucking dumb. I don't care, it doesn't make what Biden is doing any better. This is not the voting booth

Are you Crass Spektakel? And if not why are you repeating their comments exactly?

Interesting you agree with him, having created your account less than an hour ago and so far having done little other than copy his comments word for word. Sock puppet?

Since we're copying and pasting:

I am utterly Pro-Palestinian.

In what sense? Do you support statehood? An end to the occupation of and illegal settlements in the West Bank?

Yes but bad man is worse so it's all ok, nothing to see here

Elden Ring! I think they really refined the formula, made it a bit more user friendly (I started with Dark Souls and it wasn't easy to know what to do), and is generally fun to play. Also the open world format means you can just go somewhere else if you're stuck, not just have to bang your head against the same boss over and over. Then you just come back when you're stronger.

Sekiro is not a bad option too, it's a bit more like a regular game than the others. You can pause! Imagine.

I haven't played DS2 or Demon Souls though

I am utterly Pro-Palestinian.

In what sense? Do you support statehood? An end to the occupation of and illegal settlements in the West Bank?

Isn't this discussion about the brutal and torturous conditions Palestinians are subjected to by Israel? What do you think about that? As in, the article in the OP. Is it cool with you or a bad thing that should be stopped?

If you answer my (relevant) question I will happily attempt to answer your (irrelevant) one.

All those words and yet no condemnation of what seems to have happened here. Not even "if this is true it is disgusting, but..."

This tells everybody reading that you don't actually care about people suffering, you just took a "side" like a football hooligan and have nothing of value to add to the conversation

"Safety concerns"

There were instances where I heard staff discuss whether detainees from Gaza should get painkillers. Or ways to perform certain procedures that can turn the treatment into punishment.

_

One doctor with knowledge of conditions there said prolonged cuffing to beds would cause “huge suffering, horrible suffering”, describing it as “torture” and saying patients would start to feel pain after a few hours.

_

So, if you put together [that] someone is undergoing an invasive procedure, which involves even incisions, and doesn’t know about that, and is blindfolded, then the line between treatment and assault thins out.”

_

"This period was mental and physical torture,” he said. “I can’t describe it. I was detained with two legs and now I have only one. Every now and then, I cry.”

This is torture. The "staff in a free country" raising their "safety concerns" are whistleblowers and the IDF's response is that (often innocent) detainees were treated "appropriately and carefully" but then when given details...

The IDF did not respond to the specific allegations about Sufian’s treatment, but said the claims of violence towards him during his arrest or detention “were unknown and will be examined”.

So what all of this is leading towards is... Are these the people you're taking to the internet to defend? Are you fucking seriously doing a "bu.. but the other side!!" in response to very credible accusations of torture?

You seem to think this is all fine but the staff working there do not:

Yoel Donchin, the anaesthesiologist, said medical staff at the field hospital sometimes gathered together to cry over the situation there. “The moment our hospital closes,” he said, “we’ll celebrate.”

These people are the hypocrites you should be angry about and the fact that you tried to deflect onto Gazans tells me everything I need to know about you. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you can read about torture and not even acknowledge how wrong it is, and instead take to the comments to defend them, you might actually be evil.

If he's so upset about being compared to mass murderers he should have not murdered people en masse. It's actually very easy to not do that

Slooot yeah! My favourite thing is how trains/metros end at the slutstation

But the war is against Hamas, not all Palestinians, right?! I'm sure the violent settlers were punished for their crimes and not actively supported by the IDF, right?! It couldn't be that this is simply consistent with Israel's genocidal aims. There must be a really complicated explanation for why all of this was necessary to kill anyone who is Palestinian "protect Israel" from "terrorists."

He's being consistently ignored about Rafah and then he goes for the carrot? I'm sure giving him what he wants will really help get Netanyahu out.

What he's doing is public hand wringing, private support. If anything actually changes I'll happily change my mind. I'd love to see it. But no, we get more dead kids.

Thanks Biden! Got to help Israel kill those kids. It's very important work

Zionists seem convinced that "incomplete information" means "fake, made up death." A child's body not being tied to a full name does not mean there is not a dead child.

There is a group of climate change deniers who believe that adjustments to data made by NOAA and explained clearly (to ensure comparability over time even if, for example, the sampling location is moved or readings are taken at noon instead of 3pm) are proof that they are "making up" climate change rather than proof that accuracy is important in science and yes the data shows the planet is still warming up.

Same energy.

Gotcha! Definitely agree about Lemmy being an echo chamber for this type of stuff but I also doubt it's only 2%. Michigan is a good example, even if it was 2% it doesn't mean it's equally spread across states.

Also it would be a bit of a mistake to assume only the "most important" issue would impact voting choice, or more importantly, the choice to not vote
