For reasons of Apartheid. More info in this article:

A Threshold Crossed :: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution :: Human Rights Watch :: April 27, 2021

For Phase 2 it would be appropriate to include recognizing Palestine like most countries and removing the Israeli military fence. Among other things, of course.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention:

SUPPORTS STUDENT DEMONSTRATORS IN THE USA AND AROUND THE WORLD. GENOCIDE PREVENTION CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ASSEMBLY.

Their statement, released on 29 April 2024 can be found here (5 pages)

Btw Raphael Lemkin is The Unsung Hero Who Coined the Term "Genocide"

It was he who coined the word “genocide.” He was also its victim. Forty-nine members of Lemkin’s family, including his mother and father, were rounded up in eastern Poland and gassed in Treblinka in 1943.

This article says:

“The Israelis have said this is a tragic mistake,” Kirby said, referring to the airstrike and fire in an area crowded with refugee tents that Gaza health authorities said killed at least 45 people on Sunday.

According to an AP article titled: Netanyahu says deadly Israeli strike in Rafah was the result of a ‘tragic mishap’

Netanyahu did not elaborate on the error.

That's a blank statement. So what does Netanyahu consider as a mistake? Bombing too little?

Netanyahu did not elaborate on the error.

Yeah, that tells a lot.

I just want to say that the most disturbing part of this is not that she did this. It’s that this is the message and image that she has carefully decided will help her achieve her career and personal goals.

I just want to say that the most disturbing part of this is supporting Genocide. The reasons why any individual would support a Genocide don't really matter, it's not a justifiable position anyways. But the act of supporting it, totally does matter and that's the problem.

I just saw there is an explanation on how this community defines civil:

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

My intentions were not to belittle anyone, I was just totally unimpressed by the level of immaturity this user showed in their replies, and wanted to point that out. And I hope this point was clear in my rephrasing. I take this comment removal as a motivation to use more words, so it is obvious what I mean.

jordanlund I must admit that I do not see what was uncivil about my response. I will try and rephrase:

Come back when you actually know something

Please, civility.

forgive me if I don’t want to spend even more time researching every suggestion for your 9 day old Lemmy account.

As I mentioned above, this was left behind. My statement was clear about this: Ok, no link. I’ll go to another point. Also, I really don't see how the number of days I am on this platform is relevant to anything we are discussing here.

My argument and sources were clear.

Yes, clear and irrelevant to your point. They are about ISIS, not Hamas. Again, Hamas and ISIS are not interchangeable words.

Yes there will be cultural differences, and differences in dialect, but the meaning of this word isn’t one of them.

Because you say so? I'm sorry, you failed to provide evidence to support your claim.

Taking into consideration the above, I think it is obvious that I don't see any point continuing this interaction. I find the way you approached it, infantile.

What is a pogrom? Israeli mob attack has put a century-old word in the spotlight - The Conversation - March 6, 2023

From Russia to Israel

effectively puts Israel in the place of the Jews’ historic persecutors. This is a highly uncomfortable position for many Jewish people, particularly in Israel.

In today’s Israel, minority rights have been suppressed as well, particularly in the West Bank. Palestinians in the West Bank, unlike the Jewish settlers next to them, face violence and discrimination in nearly every aspect of their lives. In other words, Israeli Jews and Palestinians are today not equal partners in an ethnic rivalry.

historical records show far more rioters were arrested and punished by Russia in 1881 than in Huwara this week, where only eight of the 400 Jewish offenders were arrested, only to be quickly released.

Yes, to my knowledge this is how pogroms started, against Jewish people. Latter on, the term expanded to other (ethic, religious among others) minorities as well. And for so-so many decades, zionists have been doing pogroms against Palestinians.

Note: when adding a wiki link in a topic even remotely related to zionism, please keep in mind of the following:

With help from the US. Here is an article from November 2023:

There’s a Wave of Violence in the West Bank. New York Charities Are Helping Fund It.

Tax-deductible donations are arming Israeli settlers with combat gear, surveillance systems, and more.

“The ties between New York state and war crimes being carried out by Israeli settlers are egregious,” said Jay Saper, a New York–based organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace. “It’s long overdue for the state to take action.”

Earlier this year, Jewish Voice for Peace and other anti-occupation groups launched a campaign to stem the flow of tax-exempt donations from New York organizations to West Bank settlements. The “Not on Our Dime” act, introduced in the state Legislature in May, grew out of the activist effort and sought to empower the state attorney general to revoke the nonprofit status of groups funding settlements. Dozens of state legislators almost immediately condemned it as “a ploy to demonize Jewish charities.”

Ok, no link. I'll go to another point.

You try to present arguments against Hamas by talking about ISIS. ISIS and Hamas are not interchangeable words, and Hamas is not ISIS.

Also even if I don't speak any variation of arabic it is well known that words can have different meaning in different places in which the same language is officially spoken. We have many examples of english speaking people that use the same word differently, like very differently.

So what are you really trying to do?

I see the publisher of the above is Friedrich Ebert Stiftung. Could you share a link in relation to how they perceive zionism?

Wouldn’t this encourage supporting the whale population? Isn’t this generally a good thing? How does this hurt the whale?

I suppose the answers to those questions depend on how you see the (Carbon) Markets and the International Monetary Fund, since the text in question was written by the IMF.

If one trusts the system (capitalim), they most probably consider this as a good thing, that perhaps needs some tweaking to become even better.

Personally I don't see how we can achieve sustainability when the system in place (capitalim) is based on the principle of the eternal growth. Should we trust in good faith that the polluters will provide the solutions to he problem they created even tho they don't seem to want to change their principles? Let's not forget they lobby for maintaining their profits, not to save the planet, humans, whales or any lifeforms. For me the answer is definitely: No.

Sustainability and eternal growth cannot coexist.

Admittedly, the title is terrible. The content is very interesting.

There have been models of capitalism that favor government interventions, they are just not prevalent now-a-days. With a model like that, for the US, Keynes provided the golden years of capitalism:
