I understand why they’ve had that agreement. However, it should’ve been obvious for some time now that maybe that’s an agreement they should bin? It’s blatantly obvious the us don’t treat refugees/asylum seekers the way they deserve at the moment

Children are easily distracted and may run across the street. Doesn’t mean that they deserve to die so Musk can sell poorly regulated cars

A lot to cover, but it started earlier than the 40s. He’s partially correct, imo when the Zionist movement was growing (early 1900s) a large part of the colonist nations were quite content with having Jewish people leave their countries for Palestine without caring about what the results may be. Because they were absolutely antisemites. This emigration was supercharged in the 30s, because of obvious reasons. Then in 48 it was declared a state. Probably to try and wash their hands from their own behaviour in regards to Jewish people when it became public how fucked up the Nazis had treated them.
Jewish emigration had already started, and they were equally racist, so who gave a shit if Muslims lost their land.
Guess you could call it a co-op. Zionist wanted land, racists and antisemites wanted them out

Unless there’s more to the story than what the article says, this is some seriously entitled behaviour
alterforlett @lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Misogynistic content driving UK boys to hunt vulnerable girls on suicide forumsEnglish531·3 months agoYes we should have some sort of censorship. The vast, vast majority of people understand and see the bullshit these people are peddling. But some don’t, and that ends up hurting innocent people. Why the fuck would you argue we should facilitate behaviour like this? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/online-groups-pressuring-youth-self-harm-1.7107885

The US were supposed to be our allies, our friends. And now a large part of their population have shown their true colours. They will burn all the bridges they’ve built over decades at the whims of a fascist moron.
If this is what the US are now, this fascist, law neglecting state. Then I’m not sure they are a lesser evil. I’m struggling to see how the current regime is any better than the CCP. And that’s saying a lot.
It sucks that we have to deal with one fully authoritarian state and one wannabe as the two major states
Such a good band. I especially like how their albums are quite different, but still, not. Gonna be listening to some Isis today as well

We are, hopefully, banding closer together because your leaders are alienating you from us. We never wanted this trade war and we never asked to have our sovereignty threatened.
It’s not against you. It’s for us. You’re stepping away from your allies, so we have to be closer.
alterforlett @lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Tesla sales plummet amid Elon Musk backlashEnglish411·3 months agoI’m kinda on board for the arson as well. There are a lot of people who don’t give a shit about who they support if they can get a car for cheap. But if that car brings the with it the risk of being set on fire or just generally vandalised then maybe that would make self serving cunts rethink their purchase as well.
Weird to say, but trash new teslas
alterforlett @lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•US and Russia begin talks in Saudi Arabia on Ukraine ceasefireEnglish2·3 months agoIt does to them. Then both the us and russia can’t point their fingers at Ukraine for being the aggressor when they won’t adhere to their ridiculous demands. Thus giving them ammunition for their propaganda machines around the world painting Ukraine as unreasonable warmongers.
Bought up and prison labour to take over. Anything else would be very surprising
