      I don’t think that any government funds anything for ideological reasons. It’s always about influence and power.

        I’m surprised almost no one here acknowledges that the US is supporting Israel because Israel is the US’s base of power in the Middle East. Of course the US government will support Israel. To do otherwise would be to weaken the US’s influence and military supremacy in the region. That is all that matters to the government.

    Downpunxx will be here any minute to let us know that the Hamas was stockpiling weapons under the UN headquarters, using them as human shields, and the UN workers in that building were complicit and happy to let them do so.

      I banned them a bit ago. Lemmy and kbin are much nicer places without them. Can’t believe they haven’t been banned yet.

        I’ll eventually do the same, but I have to admit that I find witnessing their trolling to be more entertaining than blocking them for now.

        I’m not sure they’ve done anything bannable. They have horrible opinions that I strongly disagree with, but I don’t remember seeing anything worse than that.

    I didn’t see in the article which terrorist faction was responsible.
    Was it the IDF or Hamas? Anyway screw them both.
    Genocidal maniacs have no place in society.
