We don’t always have the luxury of choosing our tools, and some tools are garbage.

Lesson learned: we use the working class of our vassal states to die for us now.

Oh my mistake. I took the article’s title to mean that this is about US restaurants in Israel itself. The website was down when I wrote it, so I couldn’t read the article and didn’t know any better.

Their site seems to be down at the moment, and that page hasn’t been cached by the archive sites yet :/ Never mind, it’s back.

How much of this is about boycotting and how much is it about Israelis suffering financial straits in this multi-front genocide & war?

Oh no, the Russian bots and trolls have gotten to the NYT, too. Now they’re just parroting Kremlin talking points.

No, the content of the article has no merit because of the source.

• El Pais: Alarm in Ukraine over increasing number of army deserters
• Al Jazeera: Why is Ukraine’s army facing a desertion crisis?

.

Russia, who is known for spreading false information, called “propaganda”.

Unlike the U.S., where it’s called “news” 😂

“My bad, I talked shit on an instance that doesn’t put up with shit.”

If Lemmy comments are to be believed, they’re still convinced to this day.

Is this a joke? Ukraine’s front is collapsing right now. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/31/world/europe/russia-gains-ukraine-maps.html

Sure, though you’re arguing against an entirely different thing. Nobody said writing code is bad.

The sole advantage to being as old as dirt is having been vaccinated already.

Found the Java developer.

Trick or treat is a threat. They can’t refuse you treats because of the implication.

It means NastyNative is misogynistic.

Who is this they? The fabled Russian bots and trolls who are destroying US democracy as we know it[1]?

I thought we were talking about the specific protesters this article is about.

To the best of my knowledge, most of the protests—and all of the large ones—in Israel this past year have not been about Palestinian lives or self-determination.

However, there have indeed been a few small Israeli anti-Zionist protests in Israel, despite the risks. Israel’s ‘anti-Zionists’ brave police beatings, smears to demand end to war

🌳 Now don’t be hasty, Master Meriadoc. I would wait a bit and see how things play out. It could resolve itself in some workable-enough way, or some org may do a hard fork. We don’t really know what’s going to happen.

To be fair, Putin was president when the towers fell.

They both can be, but Hamas is a terrorist organization that has committed terrorist attacks.

Yeah, according to the US and Israel—which, I cannot stress enough, are terrorist states—Hamas is a terrorist organization, but that does not make it so. Western governments and Western corporate media can designate anyone to be anything, but that doesn’t make it so. They are not the arbiters of truth, they are propagandists for empire.

Palestinian right of armed resistance

[UN] General Assembly resolution A/RES/38/17 (22/11/1983) stated that it “Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle”.

Furthermore, As an Occupier, Israel Has No Right to ‘Self-Defense’.

Are those the people protesting? No, so who knows what you’re on about.
