It really seems to in the United States for a variety of reasons.
One would hope.
But have you considered: Trump bad?
I see. I wonder if we'll ever know who is responsible.
Conflict between Palestine and Israel escalates
- Thread starter dreng3
- Start date
Not to be all "eye-for-an-eye", but settlers tend to kill and injure quite a few people and I'm wondering why the Palestinians are just supposed to quietly sit there and take it
Because the IDF will shoot them if they don't.
As if China would do anything better. An incompetent, one-leader-ruled, victimhood complex, whiny, anti-innovation, too petty to accept the truth, too petty for news orgs, subservient populace ruling party which is too weak to patrol the world's oceans on which international trade is the only thing keeping many countries from starving would have done nothing, and forced Israel to bribe them with tribute to oppress the Palestinians.
???
Not sure what this has to do with the situation in Palestine, but people in China are dramatically more satisfied with the performance of their government than the United States, suggesting that their government is more responsive to public opinion. If (as it seems) you want to take a step back and look at the broader geopolitics, then it is worth noting that the United States has vetoed two UNSC resolutions since Oct. 7 related to Palestine. If I'm not mistaken, the first was proposed by Russia and the second Brazil. I think they were the lone vote against each time. So the United States is not responsive to domestic anti-genocide opinion nor international anti-genocide opinion.
What people?!?!? Because what I am hearing is if you don't make manager by 35 or 40 you're fired because you're perceived as being a loser. This isn't from me, it's from my mom on what happened to our aunt in an office building.
Is it from the Chinese Gen Z who is lying down, letting it rot, can't find good paying full-time jobs not wiping old people's area where the sun don't shine?
Is it from the ABCs/ Sea Turtles who are treated as second or third-class citizens and have their loyalties questioned????
All China had to do was crush the Americans in the economy was by not burning the economy like they did after the Mogrol invasion or Mao's cultural revolution. They failed what a child doing nothing could have done.
China has many flaws, but they might not be considered that relevant in this context.
uh, ok
anyway
unless Al-Jazeera is just incorrect, Israel is literally not accepting the release of two captives held by Hamas for nothing in return. Apparently it would make Hamas look magnanimous, and that's unacceptable. However, admitting to this seems to have the same effect if not worse for Israel, so I'm not sure of their calculation. Seems too clever by half. Not my problem, thankfully, and I suppose I should defer to Israeli expertise when it comes to the management of optics and propaganda.
In one respect, Al-Jazeera is just incorrect: Israel did not confirm any such offer was made. They referred to the claim that an offer was made as "mendacious propaganda". The Al-Jazeera live page no longer makes the claim shown in that tweet (if it did before).
This isn't to say anything about whether the actual incident happened or not. It seems very clear that Netanyahu cares little for the hostages' safety: some of their families have begged him to negotiate, but he's outright refused. And there have also been (unverified) reports that IDF bombing raids have killed some of their own hostages.
It is a bit strange for Germany :
Chancellor Scholz is affirming at every opportunity that he stands with israel, promises support and equates Israel critique with antisemitism.
At the same time foreign minister Bärbock is talking more about Palestinensian casualties than Israeli ones, promises and organizes support for Gaza and talks about how two state solution is the only solution.
Both have been touring Israel and various Arab states - but seperately.
This coalition gouvernment is working as flawlessly as always.

Edit : Ah and yes, of course the LInke is infighting again. Seems like they finally split.
IDF shows foreign press Hamas bodycam videos, photos of murder, torture, decapitation
Government says it's revealing horrific footage collected from various sources to the media in order to fight 'Holocaust-like denials' of Hamas's massacres in southern Israel

A lot of the videos of these things got scrubbed from a lot of sites, so it's good to know that people have seen them in an official capacity.
Er, really?
It could suggest a lot of things, such as that China is much more effective at controlling public opinion, such as with widespread curbs on free speech and journalism.
It could also simply represent the different trajectories of the two countries. China has experienced massive growth and increasing power and influence on the world stage, which naturally may tend to give the Chinese a sense of optimism about the future. The USA, however, is facing relative decline with its power and influence on the global stage steadily eroding, and thus pessimism. This will translate to different perceptions of governmental competence independent of the actual competence of the two governments.
Yeah, I saw that. The new party is named after its leader: that's not a warning sign about narcissism or personality cult at all.

I distinctly remember a saying about glass houses that I can't seem to put together.
Do you not realize you've made yourself wrong in every possible scenario?
If this is Hamas releasing the women to go back to Israel before you posted, they were not rejected, so you spread misinformation.
If Hamas filmed this after you posted, then this isn't evidence for the original claim at all, so you spread misinformation.
You proliferate obvious propaganda, and then post things proving yourself wrong, and you don't even notice.
A third possibility: Israel declined to receive the hostages, so Hamas elected to free them without the involvement of the Israeli government-- via the Red Crescent iirc. Why you didn't think of this possibility is anyone's guess.
