MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.world•BBC News and news agencies warn journalists in Gaza at risk of starvationEnglish8·3 months agoBBC News and three leading news agencies have expressed desperate concern for journalists in Gaza, who they say are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families.
Did…did you read the first sentence in the article, or just the headline? Things are bad enough under Israel’s siege that news agencies are worried about journalists starving too.

Separately, the US embassy in Jerusalem has said it condemns recent violence by Israeli settlers against the Christian town of Taybeh in the West Bank. Most of the land there is owned by Palestinian-Americans and, according to locals, some 300 residents are US passport holders. Attacks, including by masked men torching cars and attacking homes, have ramped up. On Monday, settlers set fields ablaze close to a fifth-Century church, leading to a call for international action from the town’s priests.
The West Bank shows us that for Gaza, Hamas surrendering would at best change the speed of the Zionist genocide of Palestinians, but not put a stop to it.

MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksBanned from communityto World News@lemmy.ml•For Hezbollah and Hamas, US Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin as they have both provided unlimited support to Israel, and sought to create a “New Middle East”.59·11 months agoFor what it’s worth, Hezbollah has 13 of 128 seats in Lebanon’s parliament, and the CIA World Factbook says about a third of Lebanese are Christian, so I’m going to disagree with your characterization.
Hamas hasn’t held elections in nearly 20 years, so I’m going to disagree with you again. Israel’s accelerated genocide may have galvanized support for Hamas recently, but I haven’t looked into that.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after matchEnglish43·11 months agoWhat does this have to do with BBC? Their coverage on the Israeli hooligans had headlines that at a glance made the responses of locals sound anti-Semitic; they didn’t lead with the instigation.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Israel sends rescue planes after football fans reportedly attacked in AmsterdamEnglish2·11 months agoThank you for your balanced and measured response. What you said is completely correct. I oversimplified quite a bit in my comment.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after matchEnglish83·11 months agoYou need to read some general media sources that aren’t part of your ethnocultural nationalist colonialist bubble.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Stabbings, car ramming as Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans violently attacked in Amsterdam after matchEnglish82·11 months agoYeah, even NBC’s headline isn’t great. But at least it doesn’t open with bogus “antisemitism” wording.
Fortunately the comments have been good. But the actual articles posted in OPs have been awful.

Have the Israelis started doing to Lemmy what they’ve done to Reddit?
NBC’s coverage, as an alternative, says this immediately after it’s opening statement:
Videos circulating on social media showed violence in the city’s streets, with one video geolocated by NBC News to near Amsterdam’s central station appearing to show people chasing others and physically assaulting them. Separate video geolocated by NBC News showed Maccabi Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam singing “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF win. We will f*** the Arabs,” as well as tearing down a Palestinian flag.
…which clarifies that the attack was the people of Europe showing that unlike their governments, they do not tolerate genocidal apartheid supporters.

They could choose to take this as a sign that war isn’t the path to safety, or that they just need to also depopulate Lebanon to bring safety. I think it’s obvious which they’ll do, of course.
