i think the implication is not that the reporter's family was targeted, but that israel is not taking civilian casualties serious.

The embarassing part here is Blinken telling a news agency to tone down their coverage, even though the families of employees are being murdered.

yes, Blinken made his comment before the family died. That shouldn't really change how fucked up this is.

oh i never meant to say that any of the israeli victims deserved it.

neither the israeli nor the palestinian people deserve what has been happening.

i do think its unfair to be shocked at palestinian aggression while ignoring israeli war crimes.

none of it is ever deserved or justified. the hamas attack from last week should be fought back with tooth and nail. hamas needs to be brought down.

and netanyahu and any israeli politicians involved in the colonization for the past two decades should be tried for war crimes.

didn't see it was already 75 years ago. i think you're right.

i went looking online to see if i could find any reports on rape allegations. most sources are news websites that i'm not familiar with so i don't want to use them as source.

most reputable news sources have articles about rape allegations among soldiers, not from palestinians. Which i think is a problem in every army, regardless of the nation.

so i think i'm in agreement with you here that there's not much evidence that the IDF is raping palestinians.

having said that, it feels like a technicality in the face of all the palestinians the IDF has murdered and evicted. Where i'm talking exclusively about civilians, not hamas terrorists.

every concession Israel offered was a joke. Which was also affirmed by the US, the EU, and the UN. Why did you conveniently forgot how this trio, (together with an at the time still sort of sane Russia) proposed The Roadmap For Peace, which required Israel to stop building new settlements in Palestinian areas - but Israel said no. because fuck the Palestinians.

the Olmert deal was opposed by the israelis themselves. and the Palestinians said no, because the Olmert deal was a unilateral action by Israel. the Palestinians wanted to follow the plan that the EU, US, and UN proposed.

the Peel commission? the one from 1937 you mean? you're joking right? you had to reach almost a century into the past to find an example that fit your narrative? never mind that everyone involved in that time is long dead.

you are spreading bullshit propaganda. Israel is an apartheid state and has been indiscriminantly killing Palestinians year after year.

The israelis are supposed to respect the israeli/palestinian borders and stop colonizing palestinian land.

what hamas did is terrorism and they need to be brought to justice.

and israeli leaders need to be brought to justice also.

Kaag has been bullied out of politics by extremists. She rightfully wants to spare here family the continued harrassment.

What is incomprehensible is that the government didn't hunt down the people who threatened her and made an example out of them.

nowhere in this post has europe been called a continent...

[–] jadalovelace@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

the EU has been making a change for many years now.

in the EU we now have free roaming, standardized charging ports (you're welcome, by the way) to which even apple had to follow suit, standardized charging bricks, protection from unwanted cookies, data safety laws, online purchase protection, right to return, and so on.... i can make the list longer but i think you get the picture.
