And Obama murdered hundreds of civilians with drones, yet we’re still able to acknowledge the freedoms that American people have.

Peter Santinello is a guy on YouTube who does very genuine interviews with people from all walks of life. He has a short series in Saudi Arabia where he talks with all kinds of people, including women. They talk about how women driving became a thing and you can see how modern some cities are. Women are not even wearing a headscarf everywhere.
Definitely recommended to watch if you want to get a different view on the country than the perspective you get from most western media.
I think the basic reasoning is some form of:
“If you support Palestina, you are against Israel. And you can’t be against Israel, because then you are an anti-semite and that means you support Hitler.”
It’s mainly prevelant in western countries that historically support Israel. I do think a big part of that is some historical shame/feeling the Jewish people are owed something, given the genocide they had to endure in WW2. And of course a touch of geopolitics. And right wing politicians using Israel as a way to position themselves (I guess they hate Muslims more than Jews?).
Really amazing how all nuance is lost when you discuss Israel online.
If you mean the person you’re responding to is downvoted: right now the comment has one downvote and two upvotes. Hardly any activity, let alone enough to argue for any voting conspiracies.
This is not how it will go down. PVV might briefly hurt when its government fails, but then they’ll start spewing their far right populist shit again and people will eat it up and vote. In the meantime the whole political conversation has shifted to the right and will nor recover.
Having PVV form a government is not good. Not on the short term, definitely not on the long term.
I don’t see a connection between climate justice and justice for Palestinians, other than that it’s both about justice. Could you elaborate why it’s necessary to bring these seemingly unrelated struggles for justice together?
I btw totally see how a lot of social justice is tied to climate justice, but specifically the Palestinian struggle seems totally unrelated. Happy to change my mind.
There are huge differences. One country came into existence due to a federation disintegrating, because its members called for independence. The other country came in existence because an occupier forced it upon the people living there.
There wasn’t also a huge amount of migration involved with Ukraine. People mostly continued their lives when Ukraine became independent. The founding of Israel involved many Jews for all over the world migrating to that area. You can imagine that affects the people already living there.
It’s also hard to imagine people will live in harmony when one side literally enforces an apartheid regime on the other side.
Netherlands too. Amsterdam is even planning to change major inner city roads to 30km/h (minor roads already are).
Illegal pushbacks are funded by the EU. EU countries look away or even condone them, as they don’t want immigrants either.
Ocean cleanup is also working on systems to prevent plastic from leaving rivers and flowing into the oceans.
Maybe Anne Frank is the vegetarian burger?
The Netherlands.
I see it more as a political and economic devide, hence grouping the German speaking countries also with the western countries.
Southern countries are seen as having a poorer economy, hence not being part of the western countries. The northern ones could be part of the western group, but for some reason they also don’t mind being their own corner.
I (and many people around me) group Italy under southern Europe. Just like Spain, Portugal and Greece.
Western Europe for me is roughly France, Benelux, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Northern Europe is Scandinavia and Finland.
I’m sure others have a different view on this.
It’s both.
Enough people need to reduce meat consumption and realize there are alternatives (and make it interesting to innovate alternatives for meat – just look at the explosion of alternatives over the last five years). They also contribute to creating awareness around this subject, influencing others to change or at least consider changing their behaviour.
Because in the end you need enough support to enact changes such as a meat tax. This has been tried in the Netherlands, but there still isn’t sufficient support to introduce this.
I’m not surprised at all. Bird flu has gone form a major to a massive problem in the last year. We just had to wait for it to mutate and infect mamals regularly (it already happened every now and then).
A few days ago there was also news about cats in Poland being infected. It already infects humans sometimes. No human to human infections yet, but I guess with a strain that’s mamal compatible, it will come sooner or later (probably sooner).
This is what happens when you put a shit ton of animals in cages together. It will not become better until we find our place in the ecology again, instead of believing we live outside it. This doesn’t just apply to infectious diseases.
It’s a bit surprising that the virus hasn’t mutated enough to infect more people and eventually spread from human to human, given that in e.g. the Netherlands there is no bird flu season anymore, but that it infects birds year round. Earlier this month they finally ended the requirement that birds had to be locked up, after almost 9 months! That’s the longest lock up period ever. (They also killed millions of chickens and such in an attempt to prevent spreading of the flu.)
Doesn’t mean that this won’t become the next pandemic. It sounds quite likely given this news. Cats are mamals and they’re also spending a lot of time around humans.
Amp links are a threat to the free and open internet, it’s better not to use them.
While on trail, Taghi ordered and succeeded in the murder of:
This level of violence aimed at innocents was unheard of in the Netherlands. It’s what drug trafficking brings.
