Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.

Who in the global south will help the Palestinians? Crickets? I hear crickets
The Global South is all about criticizing but not acting.
Yeeeeup let's she the BRIC countries send a couple air craft carriers to the Mediterranean and stop the war.
Oh, you mean economicaly? You mean start sanctions and lose all their trading partners?
Exactly. They seem to mean that anyone who isn't willing to go to war against America and co is not worth listening to.
But there are other consequences of large swathes of the world having a negative opinion on this, and the article makes some good points.
From what I hear, the aircraft carriers are mostly a threat to keep any additional actors from throwing their hat in the ring while Israel is distracted.
I thought we had a whole thing about Russia and Iran and South Africa and Ireland teaming up in a coalition of antisemitism to bring Israel down
Given Irelands history as a the neighbour of an oppressive stronger neighbour, their criticism.cones from awareness of the Palestinian plight. Criticizing Israel is no antisemitism. Equating Israel's war like actions with judaism ludicrous. Israel is a sovereign nation that happens to have a large Jewish population (by design), but it's a modern nation with it's own interests separate to any religion.
I accidentally read Ireland and thought wtf did I miss?
Didn't you hear? They're funding Hamas
Palestinians and Hamas are not the same thing. But then you weren't trying to have an honest conversation.
Can... You not read?
