It gives mostly politicians a far easier option to speak out against Israel. Simply by mentioning Israel is legally ran by war criminals they can easier enact laws to divest and demonize Israel. The public will not be as susceptible to the excuse of antisemitism when there is a legally binding ICC arrest warrant for these people.

We now also have a legal confirmation that Israel is in fact committing war crimes (such surprise)

But if he does not do this he won’t get re-elected. Don’t you understand? It’s all because he has to appeal to voters. Definitely not the millions of AIPAC dollars he received.

Some wild comments on /politics receiving upvotes there. People rebuking them get their comments removed and/or banned for ‘trolling’.

When one visit that place they would think Donald Trump is the current president who is personally strangling every child in Gaza.

German politicians have no guilt. Using Germany’s previous genocide to censor criticism of their new genocide is as disgusting as it gets.

On 7 November 2024, the German Bundestag passed the resolution “Never again is now: Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany”, against opposition from academics and civil society, with only ten votes out of 733 against it.

This resolution makes the infamous IHRA definition of what is antisemitism the basis of further German pro-Zionist policies. The German parliament, by adopting the ideologically motivated equation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism, has made itself finally the stooge of a racist, white supremacist ideology.

The extreme right is the current coalition ran by Olaf Scholz. Censoring schools from protesting against genocide. Beating up people for saying ‘from the river to the sea’.

As for the sources, you can read the full article on the site. It it full of blue colored words which link to a source for a claim.

Great question. I like posting non mainstream news sources but India is letting me down. I will change the article source.

People are actively censoring and denying any responsibility from the Democrats regarding the genocide in Gaza.

People are utter the words “Kamala was not perfect” while she is an active participant in a genocide.

It is not “Israel can do nothing wrong because history”. Democrats are the main responsible party. Seemingly they can do no wrong because lesser evil.

Have you ever watched one of the dystopian Biden state department briefings? It is lie after lie after lie.

Highly recommend reading the full article. An amazing analysis.

So apologizing and supporting war crimes is fine as long as it is not communism?

In that case the term Tankie could not be applied to China as the original meaning of the word Tankies could only apply to the Soviet Union.

What I have always understood to be the implication is “people justifying and usually denying war crimes from a government or group which aligns with their political ideology”.

Most often those people do not care about the war crimes. They think a government and/or government ideology is awesome and therefore will excuse any war crimes because it is for the greater good/lesser evil.

Try saying Joe Biden is committing genocide on lemmy.world and you will find a plethora of apologists.

Russia does bomb regularly bomb infrastructure such as energy plants. But Russia is not mass bombing schools, hospitals and refugee camps. Every time they do it it is front page news because 2 people died. Meanwhile Israel bombs a school killing 20 people every single day.

If Russia did what America and Israel are doing in Gaza, the front page of newspapers would be filled with sob stories and gore. And Hamas would be praised as brave resistance fighters against the modern Nazis.

That is true. What the west is doing in Palestine is worse.

Your definition conveniently exempted America and countries such as Germany or the UK.

And if someone supports the American government which is committing a genocide in Gaza right now?

It did. But it is pretty safe to assume these ladies did not give consent to be used in a training data set.
