Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

We all know the hypocrisies of the pro- Israel stances, I’m not going into specific arguments but it’s just everywhere. Normal people seem to have bought in even quicker than they did with supporting Ukraine. it’s awful. Free Palestine.

Yesterday, I decided to dive in and peek at the media's coverage of the situation in my country.

It's bad, really bad. The libs are openly praising the fascists for calling the left parties antisemitic because they say killing Palestinians is bad, ministry has declared any pro-Palestine (whatever that means) protest illegal. :yea:

Shit sucks bad, but there is a non-negligent amount of resistance, don't forget that the media apparatus isn't organic at all and it shows. I'm trying to make time to go to a meeting for the liberation of Georges Abdallah next week.

I have a coworker who's Jewish and has absolutely terrible political takes, he seems down this week, but I haven't tried asking why because I am not sure how I will react to his shit. I don't think anyone has mentioned what's going on because everyone at work (tech company) lives in their own little world.

I’m Jewish, support for Israel is much less prevalent among us than among other groups (evangelicals for instance). Younger Jews especially find Israel icky. I’ve known a bunch who were involved with SJP and BDS. Most of the world’s Jews also vote with their feet and choose not to live in Israel.

Yep, I'm sure that's the case for a lot of Jewish people (it is for others I have known). This guy is just really conservative.
