“I decided that I would be vocal and do anything that I could to help my Palestinian brothers and sisters to achieve equal human rights with their Jewish brothers and sisters between the Jordan River and the sea,” he said.

He emphasized that his position was based on equal rights rather than violence.

“Not asking anyone to kill anyone,” Waters said. “But you cannot allow apartheid societies to spring up in the world.”

Meanwhile, washed up Boy George has a new "rap" song.

truly heartbreaking.

::: spoiler context He's a supporter of Russia in the Ukraine war, at first calling it "russophobic propaganda" that Russia was even going to invade in the first place just prior to the invasion, then u-turned into "well they deserved it"; and he also believes that Taiwan belongs to China. per Wikipedia, which has additional sources

nice that he's not also bought/duped by the Israel lobby, but being bought or duped by Russia and China isn't much better

and the photo is from a satirical article titled "heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point" that became a meme, if you're not familiar with that context :::

what is it with people on Lemmy treating Ukraine like it's this moral bellwether? They got invaded but they aren't angels - they have openly Nazi battalions and paradoxically (or perhaps not so paradoxically) are aligned with Israel. They're getting used by NATO to deny Russia access to a critical warm water port of Crimea and are getting wrecked for it. Just like the US would wreck (and has wrecked) anyone trying to deny access to Panama. Don't come here thinking you're going to get the same worshipful sympathy from me.

I'm very curious as to what the fuck israel and israelis think the end game is here.

like, your policies were bad before, and they constantly invited terrorist reprisals.... dude, now entire nationstates have been sucked into a battle your terrible policies started, and it's just a matter of time until israel is abandoned for all the atrocities when their supporting countries inevitably ditch the aipac crowd...

so they're gonna be surrounded by an entire region that hates them, guess they really want to test those nukes.

what the fuck was the end game supposed to be?

Forever war and waggling the dog of US/EU into bankrolling it. Some get land, some get a haven for whatever they want, some get to profit from endless disturbance in the region. Many westerners can't hide their boner about this corrupt ethnostate and want some of it back home.

Do you recall a case when cybersecurity guy under a fake-looking slavic name got almost caught on arranging his rape of a minor in Las Vegas? And that he left no question asked to Israel? Being connected to it has perks for the worst people you can imagine, and they'd sure help it survive, for a little lack of regulation here or for an international spy network there, or just testing LLM weapons on muslims.

When some cheered Mossad on taking nazis to the court, we saw the building of Israel as everyone's secret genie. And I'm sure, this rep is what israeli nazis cherish. It gives them the power over the whole western world.
