Capitalism breeds innovation

JUST IN: Member of Hamas Political Bureau, Ghazi Hamad:

We already expected this result at the Doha negotiations.

Netanyahu was practicing deception and did not provide answers to all the questions to reach an agreement. Netanyahu sets new conditions, undermines what was previously agreed upon, and his goal is to continue the war.

We will not allow the occupation in any way in any part of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu wants to propose a new formula for negotiation from the beginning to gain more time.

What was reported in the Wall Street Journal about Israel’s readiness to withdraw from the corridor is not true.

Israel wants to leave a loophole in the agreement so that it can return to war later.

No agreement can pass without a complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of the occupation, the return of the displaced, and the exchange of prisoners.

Our position is strong and firm and all factions agree on it, and we will no longer enter into any futile negotiations.

‼️ The Iranian response & Hezbollah’s response are their right and have a different path than the negotiations.

Hezbollah has been fighting for more than 10 months and offering martyrs, and it is thanked for what it is doing, and the occupation only understands the language of force.

Israel has always planned on escalating the war as much as possible as it advances their geopolitical interests and so they have always sought to undermine all ceasefire negotiations. They know that the US will be forced to defend their Zionist outpost in the Middle East from an attack led by any party. The US is straight-up lying about there being a possibility that Israel will agree to a ceasefire in the hopes that Iran will delay or consider abandoning a large retaliation.

Hamas weren’t even at the talks Biden is talking about here! Hamas withdrew from the negotiations because they were/are a sham. They demand Israel accept another deal agreed upon months ago.

From Praxis Redacted telegram:

Hamas leadership source to AJ:

What we were informed about the results of the Doha meetings (https://t.me/PalestineResist/53086) does not include a commitment to what was agreed upon (https://t.me/PalestineResist/52491) on July 2.

Hamas sources to Al-Aqsa TV:

The Hamas movement is committed to the July 2 proposal. (https://t.me/PalestineResist/52491) What reaches us through indirect channels falls short of the presented ceiling, and Hamas will not accept it.

Ibn Riad: May God curse those who are complicit with laundering these sham “ceasefire talks”, knowing full well that they are doing nothing other than buying the occupation more time to murder more and more and more. May they find no forgiveness in this world nor the next.

@BIG_Brother7 on X: (https://x.com/big__brother7/status/1824470133445730786?s=46) Qatar and Egypt, as mediators, lack even a shred of honor; if they had any, they wouldn’t have taken part in this farce called ceasefire talks.

A mediator is supposed to be neutral, but these two shitstains aren’t even that; they are just marionettes of the empire.

Ahmed Hassan in Yemen: Every time America and “Israel” deceive the people [to instill] a false hope, they talk about a ceasefire and the release of hostages.

This is a policy so that people lose interest and do not monitor the current events, so that America and “Israel” can manipulate and deceive the people.

We should not talk about an illusion and care about empty talk.

The ceasefire should not be conditional on the outcome of negotiations, the ceasefire and stopping the massacres is a non-negotiable issue.

Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi to Al-Arabi:

We will not accept any solution that does not align with the July 2 (https://t.me/PalestineResist/52491) proposal.

The Palestinian people will not pay the price for the U.S. position that covers for “israel” and its crimes.

Zionist officials to Hebrew Channel 12: We do not agree with the estimates of reducing the state of alert. We presume that an attack from Iran or Hezbollah could happen at any moment.

I’ve no idea who the original poster of either of these accounts are or what their politics are, and I say this because there’s an unfortunate number of antisemitic responses.

They’re a Nazi

I think it’s much easier to discover new content on Lemmy.

Pretty sure that anti-anti-fascism is just straight-up a Nazi trope.

Perhaps this site is a good source of training data?

The Pahlavi family being the Starks of course.

Fucking libs.

How is it remotely sane to give support to any candidate who backs an ongoing genocide? It’s only sane to do so if you’re apathetic to the said victims of genocide and know that their ghosts won’t affect you after they’ve been murdered by the politicians you’ve elected.

If there are 2 buttons, and both will result in the commission of Genocide, you don’t press either button. This is why this meme wouldn’t work in its usual context if the buttons said that.

Any voter or potential voter who has moral principles and values should withhold support for any candidate who supports or enables the most serious crime known to humanity.

If a political opponent of Adolf Hitler was vying for election in Germany in 1932 or 1933, and that political opponent also had the same views towards Jews and/or other ethnic, racial, religious and national groups as Adolf Hitler, with the same intention to commit and use the power of their office to facilitate genocide against those groups as the NSDAP has, you don’t vote for that other candidate, even if they maintain free elections within a fascist Germany. On principle, every person has a moral responsibility not to support, nor facilitate the crime of Genocide. A true democracy allows for true political expression of the population and doesn’t force its electorate to back a Genocide.

I hope I’m not being OTT or patronizing. When talking about an ongoing Genocide against a group it’s off to reduce the (unfortunately) political issue of Genocide prevention to the less serious language used in US domestic politics. And there ought not to be a reason why Palestine is less important than Ukraine or Russian influence in Europe. I mean Palestine is fucked right now and has been since 1948. Why would European people let Palestine be fucked for decades since it doesn’t affect Europe but care about Ukraine since it does? I dunno such a shit situation.

I think the South African team presented their arguments extremely well. I wonder what extreme Oct. 7 atrocity propaganda Israel has prepared to show the UN’s highest court tomorrow. Surely that’s all they can do since they haven’t been able to refute any single argument presented by South Africa. Initially, each side was given 2 hours to make statements, Israel requested an extension to 3 hours.

All they had to do was play back the Zionist’s own statements to prove they were genocidal. So far they’ve claimed that Hamas is the party committing genocide (ridiculous), but as was explained by South Africa, they are not a state party and so aren’t subject to the Genocide Convention.

Vaughan Lowe argued strongly that nothing can possibly merit a response of Genocide in any context. This simple fact must expose whatever attempt to reframe themselves as victims that Israel will try to pull tomorrow.

What I think will happen is that the court will find they are committing genocide, and then all Western leaders will say that they disagree with the conclusion the ICJ/ICC found.

So much nonsense has been flung around by Israel and its supporters in the last few months, I don’t see why they’d suddenly want to return to some semblance of logic and reason just because their obvious crimes have been formally recognised.

OK so now they’ve all been reinstated and Elon Musk started talking about how he’s a bastion of free speech again! Tulsi Gabbard approves!

I looked up the squirrel’s other social media after they got banned because I liked his posts. He has Instagram as well. I hope the Fediverse will continue becoming less and less of a fringe thing. I noticed some of the other people on the list have a Bluesky account but I’ve not really heard much about it.

I’m a bit late but done

I think it is both. People are naturally the most revolutionary in times of crisis and struggle. It is the conditions which are created by the capitalist system that make the people feel that the system they live under is untenable, especially with rapid changes in conditions as experienced during financial crises. Many within the bourgeoise study the instability of capitalism in order to protect their capital or to profit from it.

From OP:

The Biden administration has been doing everything in their power to reign in Israel, push for ceasefire, and negotiate deals to save hostages. But sure, he’s totally “pro-warcrimes.”

He’s done so much to obtain a ceasefire that his leadership was the only one to veto a ceasefire at the UN Security Council!

If capitalism is so bad then how come living conditions are worse in the exploited global south whose nations are targeted, exploited and destabilised by the imperialist core?

Same dumbass line of questioning.
