Many water facilities have been damaged or destroyed by Israel’s war in Gaza, according to the UN and others, compounding the civilian population’s suffering, risking the spread of disease and leading human rights experts to accuse Israel of using water supply as a weapon.

      Everyone who gives weapons to Israel (or money to buy weapons) did this. I finally got angry enough to write Biden a letter, but who knows if he actually read it or not (probably not, but I did get a reply). It didn’t seem to help much. All the protests aren’t helping much. What can the people do to stop the govenment’s support of Israel?

        Nothing except convince another ME nation to convincingly offer allying with the US so they don’t need Israel anymore.

        In the meantime, efforts to thwart or protest the Harris campaign work against your ends and reduce their willingness to work with you if they do win. It sucks but that’s your reality for now until January.

      Here’s another title for you, “Israel forcefully exceeded the land given to them by UN from day 1 and has been killing children amd committing war crimes for 75 years.”

      Here’s another one, “Israel has been forcefully occupying West Bank and other land area that are legally Palestine’s from 1948 the same year Israel was created”.

        All of that is factually incorrect, the Palestinians never agreed to a state, so legally it was never theirs.

        And all the surrounding Arab countries threw a tantrum fit as soon as Israel was created, tried to destroy it, and are now crying for losing the war they started.

        Get your facts straight.

      So if a small group from a certain population does something bad then everyone of that population, including kids, deserves to get sick and starve to death? Because if that’s the case, i have bad news for you about every single human population in history :D By your logic, we should start killing all kids. It’s totally justifiable, right?

      Or did you mean to say if they’re Arab then it makes it justifiable? Because brown people aren’t real people?

        So, if a small group of terrorists decides to operate out of a civilian population to attack a sovereign nation they automatically get immunity for their action and get a free “get out of jail” card? By your logic everytime some niche group decides they don’t get what they want (however absurd their demands are), all they have to do is arm themselves and operate from within a civilian population to automatically get support for their efforts, right?

        Arab people aren’t real people? Tell that to the 20% Arab civilans in Israel. You obviously know shit about this conflict.

            There are humanitarian zones for the civilians with more than enough water.

            The situation there is shitty, but to the blame of all the suffering on Israel alone is just plain wrong.

              Did you read the article? Among many other points:

              Around 70% of all water and sanitation facilities in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged, the WASH Cluster, a United Nations-led group that coordinates humanitarian efforts for water, sanitation and hygiene, said on July 24, citing satellite analysis from the UN Satellite Centre.

              And look at the headline. If there was “more than enough” generally, why would anyone do that?

              The situation there is shitty, but to the blame of all the suffering on Israel alone is just plain wrong.

              I didn’t do that. It’s just mainly their fault

      and that completely justifies any and all warcrimes against civilians? Even if they were doing the same to the other side it still wouldnt justify this.

              I said: “and that completely justifies any and all warcrimes against civilians?” and your response was: “That justifies war, yes. War sucks and people get killed. Now grow up.”

              So did you mean that warcrimes are inherently part of war and something that should just be accepted or what did you mean? Or did you mean it just shouldnt be discussed or be outraged about? Without further information there is very little to go on to get any other conclusions that are not in the line of what i asked.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • 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.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • 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.
