    I have my weird takes on that whole conflict, but I was silenced for criticizing my homeland where I actually live and calling out one exact delusional user.

      As an American I’m just questioning why we should care about this conflict. At least with Ukraine there’s a lot of nations that want to invade America basically testing their new toys. That might be used against us in the future. But Palestine v humas are two small nations I’ve never heard of fighting in a part of the world that has been in constant chaos for as long as I’ve been alive. So it’s kinda hard for me to ask what’s new. Especially when I as a sitizen struggle to afford a home eat own a car or get a decent paying job. All the while taxes are getting higher and higher with each month. Yet somehow my government that struggles to keep me alive is somehow well off enough to send more money I can even comprehend to conflicts in a shit hole part of the world. Couldn’t even be bothered enough to consider sending a dime of that money towards helping Africans feed themselves or get them drinkable water. No just gonna blow all that cash on guns.

        I know you said you don’t care, but it’s more like Hamas exists within Palestine, it’s Isreal vs Palestine but Isreal is trying to pretend that they only care about Hamas.

        It’s kind like if the Bloods or Cryps in the US had a military that occupied places in NY so Pennsylvania decides to bomb the shit out of Manhattan because some Bloods occasionally fire on Philadelphia and took some Pennsylvaninans hostage and did terrible things to them. There’s a way to try to handle that which does not include killing all the innocent people in Manhattan just so you could get to the few gang members you wanted to hit.

        Except there’s the “hidden” aspect where very wealthy Pennsylvaninans want to own parts of Manhattan so if they can kill enough people there and take over some land they can have the real estate they want.

      Sorry sweaty, but saying anything bad about authoritarian governments (aside from Israel) is xenophobia, you’re clearly just suffering from transnationalism and were born in the wrong country

      Yeah, some news from another country, some authoritarian propaganda from a murderous government, some memes, it’s great

        Meme communities contain cringe, I’m not sure where you’re getting at here. Then again, I just came back to Lemmy last week, not sure if this community is supposed to be different, correct me if I’m wrong.

          [email protected] sort by new & start scrolling. You’ll see the same “joke” repeated 3x times in just the last 2days by the same exact user. Keep scrolling and you’ll see even more, they’re making it a daily thing.

            Ah, okay. Pardon me, not particularly active in any subs yet. I seen a few, and yeah, gotta agree that it’s pretty spammy. Have a good one!
