  • Pretty much all arab leadership want “peace” with Israel. The issue is the Arab street/people absolutely do not want to with varying degrees.

    IMO this depends more on economy than relations. If gulf oil is seen as too risky, or restricted by Iran after this, then that would gradually release the USA’s interest in the gulf, as Washington pivots towards greater energy independence and oil integration with LATAM. However, Israel will always swing the American MIC towards war with ME countries (probably Turkiye and/or Syria next after Lebanon and Iran today)


  • The potential indictment of the 94-year-old former ​president of Cuba and brother of Fidel is expected to focus ​on the downing of aircraft, the official said on condition ⁠of anonymity. CBS previously reported that the case relates to Cuba’s deadly ​1996 shootdown of planes operated by humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue.

    Jeez they are really fishing for literally anything.

    Can we indict Donald J Trump on triple tapping 175 school girls and parents with tomahawk missiles? What about allowing a white supremacist biker gang operate a concentration camp in Gaza? What about all those little girls he raped with Epstein?




  • First, I’m new to actively using lemmy, so I’m gradually learning the etiquette on here, and how it differs from other forums. Also, I did not know the downvote button is disabled on your instance, so thank you for the context.

    It feels a bit too reddit-like to have open trolls commenting in our communities, but constantly being down voted to the bottom of threads

    Sure, if they are actual trolls, and we can define that together in this thread or as a community. However, this user was an active commenter in several news/palestine-related communities, and lets just be honest, was not trolling or derailing the discussion. He disagreed with the OP (and to an extent I share a similar view) that Judaism and American Jews have deep sympathies to Israel, and this manifests in material structures in the United States (synagogues, community orgs, PACs, etc)

    OKAY PAUSE

    if that last statement is ban worthy because its trolling or “anti-semitism” , how the hell are we supposed to actually have this debate? Then this isn’t trolling and this is where active discussion and voting should take place in the thread. Keep in mind, the person who flung accusations was the mod of the community when he said " You’re not an anti-semite are you?"

    Thats why I think this is blatant mod abuse because there seems to be this unnecessary over-moderation and that’s exhibited by the guy continuing the convo in this thread which is unrelated to the community. Overall this fractures discussion across the entire website, not just the individual instance.

    Last, you’re going to have to prove the commenter has a repeated history of posting out-of-topic or bait. Not just a singular instance of a disagreement in perspective, and calling out a mod for a flimsy argument using his own rhetoric.





  • We need to add Dubai to the boycott list.

    Its blatantly obvious they are both funding the genocide in Sudan and co-signing the genocide in Palestine. Its a shame the fall of El-Fashir did not lead to greater outrage in the West, like it has for Gaza. These conversations are taking place within activist circles, however at least in the USA, were not doing enough.

    imo I think most people aren’t connecting the dots between the UAE’s crucial role in supporting the genocidal Zionist state.









  • Hey, I’m tightening up my privacy like you. I’m not sure if containers are the best way to go, but Mullvad Browser is essentially what you are looking for. Its a firefox fork that has complete fingerprinting protection baked in. Its basically tor browser minus the tor network. Both it and tor have a button (“New Identity” feature) you can click to completely clean your session (cookies cache etc) without closing the browser.

    You can also see what your fingerprinting profile by looks like using the EFF’s “Cover Your Tracks”. It also reports how unique your browser is, but don’t use this as a metric of how private and secure you are, since there are many other aspects you need to factor.
