“What do you think they’re doing? They’re pushing for escalation so that they can fully depopulate us,” one resident of Jenin told +972 Magazine. “They’re making life for us unbearable.”
Meanwhile, Israel simps will insist it's not genocide.
The public sentiment has and continues to change in the US and the West. Hopefully we will see enough internal pressure to switch US Policy on Israel and stop international complicity in this Genocide.
Yeah. Honestly, if you asked me even in November of last year, I would have bitterly said that I wouldn't expect US public opinion of Israel to shift for several more decades. It's heartening to see that sometimes positive change comes faster than you hoped - though obviously not fast enough, considering the ongoing situation.
I had no clue what the situation of Israel/Palestine was really like not that long ago. The reality was nothing like what was touched on during my highschool education, and I'm sure that's been the situation for most Americans. Even the public sentiment on Lemmy, a left-leaning platform, was entirely different not more than a year ago. I'm glad public sentiment is changing, I hope it continues to do so and influences our representatives to shift too, before it's too late.
Israel really does think it is unanswerable and superior to the rest of us.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
