Because the Zionist régime has backed the Palestinians into a corner. The Zionist rulers don’t want to talk, they don’t want to return Palestinian land, they don’t want to raise Palestinian living standards or upgrade them to first‐class citizens, so the Palestinians don’t have any options left but to (figuratively as well as literally) throw whatever they can to get out of the corner. They are desperate. The Zionists are not.
It’s an awful situation, but the Zionist rulers were the ones who set the stage for it, and if you ask me, they’re merely reaping what they’ve sown.
Even as some [Fascist] planes were dropping proclamations, others were dropping bombs. De Bono insisted that the targets were exclusively military ones, sites “where groups of warriors had been observed.” Yet one of the first targets was the town of Adowa, which was filled with women and children. Mussolini’s eldest son, Vittorio, participated in the opening raid, which he saw as “revenge […] for the heroic death of our soldiers, who forty years ago fell victim to overwhelming odds.” But young Mussolini was disappointed by the results of his raid: “I noticed with regret,” he reported, “that [my bombs] did not create any sensational effects. Perhaps I was so disappointed because I had expected the huge explosions and flames I had seen in American war movies. Unfortunately, the mud‐and‐grass Ethiopian houses were just not designed to provide a satisfactory target to a bomber.”
Unspectacular though these raids might have been to the bombers, they were impressive enough to the people on the ground. […] Greek and Levantine shopkeepers painted red crosses on the roofs of their shops, and even on their strawhats, in hopes of securing immunity from [Fascist] bombs.
Buildings marked with red crosses, however, seemed to attract rather than deter [Fascist] pilots, and they were one of the few targets the bombers managed to hit with any consistency. The British minister in Ethiopia telegraphed London that the first [Fascist] bombs had fallen precisely on a house containing hospital stores and flying the red cross. European and American newspapers sent up cries of indignation over this “barbarous” behavior and over [Fascist] air attacks that claimed the lives of defenseless women and children. General De Bono dismissed these complaints with equal indignation. In reality, he insisted, the only victims of the first raids “were one woman, one child, and several cattle.” He said nothing about warriors.

This way, not only will the Zionists be happy, but we can still compare the neocolony to a Fascist empire, and everybody will get to learn about lesser‐known tragedies as well. It’s a win‐win situation!
You are welcome! I hesitated to reply since I have little experience accepting compliments, but seeing your feedback did make me smile.
It always pleasantly surprises me when somebody specifically mentions something that they learned from me, because it’s definite proof that I am doing good work. Sometimes I feel like all that I do is simply repeat common knowledge. I probably have imposter syndrome, but I have never been officially diagnosed.
Yeah, that’s fair. I was guessing that that chump thought that “red fascism” was a thing, and if somebody is going to use that phrase unjokingly then I’d expect them to recognize actual fascist symbols.
If somebody like you asked respectfully what the symbol was then I would have responded in kind.
Holy fuck, am I supposed to read the source for you? Okay, here’s a clue:
Ukraine opted instead to prolong the Donbas conflict, and there was never significant pressure from the West to alter course. Though there were brief reports of the accords’ revival as recently as late January, Ukrainian security chief Oleksiy Danilov warned the West not to pressure Ukraine to implement the peace deal. “The fulfillment of the Minsk agreement means the country’s destruction,” he said (AP, 1/31/22). Danilov claimed that even when the agreement was signed eight years ago, “it was already clear for all rational people that it’s impossible to implement.”
Oh, I see. So you aren’t here to learn, as evidenced by you obviously ignoring the link that I shared. You just want to goof around here because you can’t think of anything better to do with your day.
Whereas if Ukraine stops resisting, they will cease to be, and their working class will be obliterated and absorbed into the kleptocratic Russian state to be exploited for decades to come.
Hey Bibi, would you mind explaining to us why a third of Shoah survivors under your régime are living in poverty? I know that you don’t care about Palestinians—that’s a given—but surely if you cared about your fellow Jews you wouldn’t let so many of them suffer like this… would you? You do at least care about other Jews, right…? Right…?
One could almost argue that the Fascists invented a self‐fulfilling prophecy when they declared and treated Jews as their worst enemies. Because of the Fascists’ antisemitic atrocities, for many Jews joining or collaborating with the Allies was not simply a matter of patriotic duty. It was personal. That’s why I’m so fascinated with the testimonies from the Allies’ Jewish personnel and collaborators. The Western ruling class might not have given a damn about the atrocities, but these people most definitely did.
My heart goes out to these and the other 1.5+ million Jews who bravely fought back for the millions of their kindred who couldn’t.
The occupation of Palestine is the most embarrassing thing to happen to the Jewish people. As far as I’m concerned, these Palestinians are doing them a favour, and I hope that as many Jews as possible join them in advancing the deoccupation.

No no no no no no! Look at how many people are still supporting the Palestinians. Look at how more and more people are leaving the occupation. Zionism is failing. Your shitty, overbudgeted military was too busy committing friendly fire and massacring civilians to save any Jews, and now your neocolony is fucked. You failed!
I agree. There is no need to compare this to the Third Reich’s atrocities. That’s unnecessary.
Let’s compare this to Fascist Italy’s atrocities instead:

Now would be a good time to remind people that Fascist Italy deployed mustard gas against Libyans and Ethiopians, violating the Geneva Convention.

Settlers can bite the dust for all I care, but pissing off would suffice.

Which part is the one confusing you?
Is it just me, or are the anticommunists more vocal than usual lately?
Oh, I see. So you aren’t here to learn, as evidenced by you obviously ignoring the link that I shared. You just want to goof around here because you can’t think of anything better to do with your day.
Thanks for wasting my time. See you.

Are you seriously comparing a military alliance that’s been repeatedly breaking its promise not to expand eastward to unarmed black people suffering police brutality?
What the fuck are you talking about?
You need somebody to explain to you what a fascio littorio is?
Wow.

That must be Benjamin Netanyahu’s Lemmy account!

The Save function still doesn’t work, though.
I was uploading too much. I thought that the error message was due to a browser setting that I turned off, but maybe not.
