Hi,
Lemmygrad seems to be down, so i’m answering you with my alt.
I’ve only upvoted your comment with two accounts, but it’d deserve that i use my other alts as well, thanks a million times for taking the time to correct me, now i feel ashamed that i never took the time to document myself before posting my comment.
I’ve read about that a few times by people who presented it as astroturfing(, from what i’ve quickly read), and it didn’t cross my mind that it could be something else, in that case some kind of ~one-time sponsorship to selected influencers.
Now the attention it got makes more sense, i should have realized it myself, thanks again frankly !!

(I wonder how many things that appear even more nonsensical simply come from my miscomprehension, would be nice. I’ll keep the comment above but next time i’ll take a few minutes to read what it’s about before posting)

« the incursion of Russian aircraft into Estonian airspace was the fourth this year (…) Since 2014, there have been more than 40 incursions by the Russian air force into Estonian airspace »
It seems difficult to avoid :

They weren’t over any lands, and it wasn’t exceptional, probably more linked to the recent u.s. announcement to cut off some security assistance to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia(, all NATO members bordering Russia). Perhaps some kind of occasion to seek a funding(, $220M,) from the e.u. parliament or sthg i.d.k.

In France we only know Louis Pasteur, first time i’m hearing about Edward Jenner

I wouldn’t know how to contradict you, he talked about freedom a lot and that’s why i called him a libertarian, but contrary to Ron Paul, he was against the freedom of : aborting, using drugs, free immigration, being gay or trans(, or at least with the same rights), searching/teaching “woke” subjects(, gender studies, critical race theory, …).
He favored wars, and security-state arguments, so wouldn’t have opposed mass surveillance.

You’re right, he was only a partial libertarian, that is to say, i think, that he wasn’t a real libertarian, thanks for your correction.
He was only 31. Of course many more people died an avoidable&unjust death in the last 24h, and there are still so much hate from everywhere, imperfections give us a purpose i guess.

Even if the rules are rigged since the rich are buying mass medias, i won’t ever support killing ideological opponents, obviously, there’s not enough ideological diversity i.m.h.o., and i don’t like having the same set of rules/ideas on a national or even continental level :

• I don’t believe that abortions are murders, foetuses never met anyone nor have any memories, if any consciousness at all. At the risk of shocking i believe that killing an insect is worse because at least i have no doubts on their consciousness, ideally we should refrain from abortion, although having an unwanted baby can ruin both the parents/mother’s life and her child’s childhood, births should be desired. If abortions “only” murder a potential, then preventing it “murders” the potential of the other child that’d be born in replacement(, and ok, i’ll agree with the Church that it’s not an easy topic, it’s just that no-one has in-utero memories). But i want some cities to ban abortions, while others allow them. I also understand why people thinking that it’s a murder would consider themselves libertarian despite being against it.

• I believe that some illegal drugs make you develop an addiction without giving you much in return, and are taken by people already lost in their lives, while other drugs are wonderful and transform you into hippies, and yet other drugs enhances your performances, and there are still a lot of research to find the most useful drugs. But i want cities banning all of them, and others allowing even the worst ones, and understand why people thinking that all drugs will lead you to a criminal life as a homeless addict desperate for h.er.is next fix would consider themselves libertarian while wanting to preserve their citizens from such poison.

• I could see a problem with immigration in the sense that if more than 90% of french citizens is replaced by, e.g., algerian people, then the policy of our country would most likely change, and we’d feel closer to arab history. Just like polish/italian/spanish/portuguese/… immigrants weren’t a problem since we’re all european now, perhaps that an alliance with our glorious islamic sisters&brothers is the european future, and the same goes for the u.s. with hispanic people, or not, in any case we can’t continue to offer ten times the minimum salary from one country to the other, it’s clearly selfish&unjust. But i want cities to have free borders while other closes them, and understand that some people look at the fertility rates of white people and feel that if the u.s. is mostly black and hispanic then it’d be as if North America’s colonization had been for naught, so they’re libertarian but can’t allow immigration because of its threatening scale.

• I don’t see a problem with other people be(com)ing gay or trans, and even if it was a problem then it’s their problem, not mine. But i want cities banning straight and cis people, and others banning gays and trans, and understand why some people look at the statistics and fear that, i.d.k., that the percentage will climb to 50%, or even 80% and more ? And even so then what would be the problem ? I don’t really understand t.b.h.

• I don’t see a problem with teaching critical race theory or gender studies, how would that destroy our country ? I’m ashamed not to have listened to Charlie Kirk more, i live in a bubble.

• Mass surveillance and censorship will come, despite D.Trump and E.Musk honest efforts. The problem is that the bourgeoisie will want to protect itself from socialist ideology(, or even without it they’d still desire to prevent internal revolts), and will hence resort to more censorship/control against China’s rise, that’s a bipartisan policy.
  Perhaps that androids will make capitalist-owned states believe in some kind of utopia for all(, preventing the cause of revolts in a post-scarcity society for the whole world, without any more wars or desires of hegemony), it’s never lost in advance i suppose.
  Still awful that the only country who didn’t listen to our advice is the one with the best economic growth(, Cuba, Nicaragua, or Venezuela are under sanctions), i sincerely hope that we’re not knowingly keeping most countries poorer/exploited by advices/‘economic theories’ allowing us to maintain an advantage.

What a lame edit, i don’t see D.Trump as worse than J.Biden, they’re both anti-communists, but at least D.Trump favors free speech.

You can’t be a libertarian fascist, moron.

They’ve accepted the Witkoff plan since May, now they’ve been saying since the end of August that they’re ready to leave the power to independent technocrats, what more could they do ?
They’d probably accept demilitarization as well with enough security guarantees. And then, what more could Israel ask ?

Accused of terrorism of course : https://www.tempo.co/politik/-prabowo-demonstrasi-ricuh-mengarah-ke-makar-dan-terorisme-2065104

Not sure if you want an answer, but :
If we were on lemmygrad or hexbear it’d be the opposite ? That’s one thing that’s great with Lemmy, there’s no sitewide “moderation” like reddit(, until state censorship laws start invading our internet, which shouldn’t take much longer now, as always in the name of safety).
The members of feddit.org should decide the future of feddit.org, and the members of lemmygrad should do the same.
Similarly for Lviv, Transnistria, Crimea, the Donbass, Kiev, Odessa, Transcarpathia, …

(sry if you didn’t need an answer, i like that you’re against wars and this opposition is a good compass. We(sterners) got as much as we could from the eastern side of the Iron Curtain, and didn’t spare our efforts to get Ukraine as well, i can’t help but see the ukrainian bourgeoisie at work there as well as here, they won’t bite the hand that fed them. Russia fell low, but is raising fast and the “neutral” ukrainians that aren’t in/against either side kinda forgot about China, their news could be full of its amazing progress, it’d give hope, there’s a glorious future for Russia ahead and they could be part of it, in the name of the past. It’d be a loss for the little european union though, who lost its colonies and don’t want to expand in ‘islamic territories’/‘the sole other direction available to them’.)

Or the pro-Europe can emigrate there, and what if they love their lands ? Refusing to allow a referendum(, or to recognize the previous ones,) is the side you’re ending up defending then. Ideally, that’d be a more peaceful(&democratic) way of resolving such problems. I can’t blame Ukraine for choosing power over justice, that’s what most countries do(, exception, or not).
Some ukrainians have chosen Russia, others Europe, so be it.

Well, ideally, instead of having to choose between the european union and the russian federation, we’d all be united in diversity, in city-states with very different laws, and without ever having to fear for our safety(, which is always the n°1 reason we(sterners)&others invoke to be agressive).

I don’t want to annoy you or anyone here, but it wouldn’t be polite to leave your comment unanswered, even if i’m wary of the moderators’ dis-information/censorship.

if South Tyrol wanted back to Austria, and Italy ignored that, it wouldn’t be reasonable for Austria to invade Italy

So what would be reasonable to do in order to respect the will of South Tyrol ?

That’s the problem with Russian “politics”. If it’s not going their way, they will force it through.

Russia waited eight years, to the point that a (relatively )common criticism heard in the Donbass in 2022(, confirmed in Patrick Lancaster interviews on the ground,) was to ask why Russia waited that long before helping them.
How many more years should they have waited according to you ?

Ukraine was improving its military during these eight years, and got closer with the e.u. and n.a.t.o., would it really be wise to give them more time to prepare ?

Petro Poroshenko was the worst president that Ukraine ever had(, even worse than Yuschenko), he did everything he could to escalate the situation, except an invasion because Russia was very clear of its reaction : he forbade them to vote, imposed an economic blockade, banned the russian language and russian medias(, as well as old russian books), and i could extend the list if it’s not long enough for you.

Vice did many good videos if you’re interested, even if they were bought back in 2023 by Soros&others.
Worth noting that, in 2022, the inhabitants of the Donbass fought the pro-european ukrainian army from the east, while Russia invaded from Belarus and fought the ukrainians from the west : both were fighting for the Donbass liberation.

If you know what Russia should have done i’m interested.
You probably know that they gave the Donbass and Crimea less than a century ago, and now they took them back according to the will of the local population because Lviv and other pro-european parts of Ukraine decided to work with them against Russia.

Things would have gone differently if Russia’s population wasn’t concentrated on its western side, or if the 2014 western-backed coup had failed. We(sterners) did everything we could to bring Ukraine on our side, partly to improve our power, and partly to contain/weaken the Russian Federation, that still dares to support countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, ~~Yugoslavia, Irak, Syria, Lybia, ~~ …, despite the 1991 disaster(, that made Ukraine join those responsible for that disaster).

If you avoid the easy answer of “i wouldn’t attempt to empty the Gaza Strip of their inhabitants”, then how would you empty the Gaza Strip ?

The Russian Federation will take the part of Ukraine that wanted to join them for decades(, like Transcarpathia voted for autonomy since 1991 but wasn’t ever heard) ; while the European Union will also take the part of Ukraine that wants to join them.

I don’t see that as unjust, but Odessa and Transnistria remain “problems” to be solved, what do they want : autonomy, Europe, Russia ?

Edit : Oh. You didn’t know that Crimea and the Donbass voted for decades to join the Russian Federation ? That’s what happens when you only read western medias.
Now we’ll make a point of refusing Ukraine’s demilitarization, in order to prepare its revenge, because that’s a lot of lost territory and they won’t accept it, it’ll be a permanent risk, a thorn in Russia’s side, we’ll see.

If palestinians had to kill every IDF supporter there wouldn’t be many left standing in Israel.

Edit : In my ignorant opinion :
It’s obvious but i still want to add it : Hamas was the government, they paid the salary of doctors, civil servants, and a huge part of the population.
And Gaza was one of the poorest population in the world because of the heartless Israel, typically the far-right will complain about the bad (re)actions of people while refusing to see their own responsability in the causes that led them to (re)act(, e.g., they’ll refuse to see that poverty leads to crime, neocolonialism to immigration, or in this case that refusing a two-states solution leads to terrorism).
Not that it’s a shortsightedness of Netanyahu, he mostly doesn’t care, its expansion of the annexation of the Golan Heights was a success on which he ended his political career(, and of course there’s the 77th anniversary, yay…), and now if he can take control in a form or another of Gaza, for “security”, Israel will only have left to continue the slow colonization of the West Bank, slow enough not to cause too much of a stir, nothing difficult.
Even if the palestinians accepted demilitarization and everything Israel could demand, they probably still wouldn’t obtain the two-states solution they’re entitled to by international decisions, it’d be useless to speak about improving Israel’s security if the real cause is their desire to expand.

The only future left to palestinians would be to come back to launching “terrorist” (~suicide-)bombings from exile, like during the 70s and 80s, and i’m sorry that their suffering has to continue. I didn’t realize how harsh&unjust their daily lives were, and the systematic injustices in the west bank(, only that the uninterrupted settlement’s expansion left them no other choice than fighting back).

It’s a win for Israel, we’ll soon forget about everything, after all there are no foreign journalists allowed in, and almost no local journalists left to cover Gaza city’s razing, and we didn’t really see much. Far from sight, and far from the heart.
What would force Israel to accept a two-states solution ? The Bogotá conference was interesting with its economic sanctions, there’s also diplomatic isolation if the US intervenes, local pressures and covert actions from unified neighbours, and a gamble that the future will let them take their revenge(, not a future with the US as the “world police” then, unless it’s suddenly starting to defend the two-states solution, in deeds and not in words).
The west also holds a possibility to offer a territory for muslims and a territory for the jews in exchange for a third of the Holy Lands.

For what it’s worth, in 2024 he won the Human Rights Defender award by Amnesty, and no less than the Pulitzer Prize (Breaking News Photography category).

They’re just dying, imagine if they were israelis : https://x.com/AnasAlSharif0/status/1954670507128914219

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

« [Israel] has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined. »

« 6.000 trucks loaded with aid stuck outside Gaza [are still] waiting for the green light to enter »

After the massacres in south-east Asia in the 50-60s, the coups&dictatorships of the 70-80s in South America(, the remnants of european communism in the 90s), Netanyahu was a first witness to the massacres of the 2000-2010s in the Middle-East, he overturned 1991, and could say that there’s no credible other path left now.

However, the UK could have pretended the same impossibility of a life with palestinians in order to deny Ireland’s independence, or white south africans in order to refuse an end to the apartheid, either with two states, or with a multi-ethnic state like Belgium or Switzerland. Seems doable.
But Israel “just” wants the whole sacred lands for themselves, even if it matters for the other monotheist religions as well. They could share instead.

Yeah, wtf honestly, there’s a non negligible possibility that they clapped because israelis didn’t fire at them :

(direct link if the video player doesn’t work, source)
(and why do they need to be there anyway, to shoot ‘Hamas “terrorists”’/‘representatives of the gazan government’ ? And they usually end up shooting civilians for safety reasons because they’re too close to the truck, nothing makes sense, nor the stupid claim that aid should be stopped because otherwise Hamas members will be too well-fed to be able to fight back so they have to starve the 2M inhabitants. 30 years of ruling the region made Netanyahu overconfident in the west’s ability to state any justification and get away with it, they destroyed everything in Gaza f.f.s., every hospital, etc.)

From https://x.com/BenjaminNorton/status/1948865864935047607, it’s everyday :

« The spring, which feeds the pumping station, is the main or backup water source for some 110,000 people, according to the Palestinian company that manages it – making it one of the most vital in the West Bank, where water is in chronic short supply. » (source
« He said two other springs in the area had also recently been taken over. (…)
“We have no options; digging a well is not allowed,” despite the presence of local water springs, he said, pointing to a well project that the UN and World Bank rejected due to Israeli law prohibiting drilling in the area.
The lands chosen for drilling sit in the West Bank’s Area C, which covers more than 60 percent of the territory and is under full Israeli control. (…)
Whereas nearly all residents of Israel and Israeli settlements have running water every day, only 36 percent of West Bank Palestinians do, the report said.»
It’s not about filling a private pool, but about depriving palestinians of water, obviously. And there has been no investigation from the israeli police.

And tomorrow it’ll be something else, at least internet laws haven’t made these informations illegal(, yet).

I.d.k., is Georges Ibrahim Abdallah right ?

From https://xkcd.com/1338

once netenyahu is dead the problem will not be solved

Yeah, just for the record : i agree. It was probably a misleading title, surveys give less hope.

Yes, thanks for that addition, i did draw a white&black picture.
If i may add sources to your comment :

• white phosphorus : https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2014/3/29/israel-to-consider-war-crimes-case ;
• 750 new homes in Giv’at Ze’ev in 2008, and perhaps elsewhere.

We may agree that he’s still a welcome critic of Netanyahu though, and less awful.
On my part, i still think that people will vote for what they’re being told to, they can believe that another path than colonization is possible, or not, which is why fighting against social medias regulations feels important.
