The Alsayed brothers lost their mother in the first bombing. They thought the White House could help save the survivors.

    This should be considered an act of war, but I have a feeling the US government will just kiss Israel’s ass again.

      Israel could poison Joe Biden’s dogs and he’d probably find a way to excuse it.

      They could probably assassinate Hunter and it would quietly disappear

      Hey, the yanks ignored their journalist from getting cut up and dumped, after all.

      What’s OK: an “ally” or rich people doing crimes

      What’s not OK: a poor neutral party or enemy doing crimes.

      Khashoggi’s murder fell under #1. A rich “ally” was the perpetrator, so double innocent.

        Thank goodness you’re here to center the conversation on the real victims: the White House, the Knesset and the Israeli military. Truly the most oppressed and vulnerable groups are politicians and soldiers.

        You could have sympathized with his anger yet tell him about the importance in remembering the humanity and complex nature of our oppressors rather than writing this smart Aleck “you sound just like them” bullshit.

        Equating somebody’s behavior or rhetoric with his enemies’ almost never works. Most of the time it only worsens the situation and makes you look inconsiderate.

        How does “IDF, Knesset, and White House” imply genocidal intent.

        Do you equate all of Judaism with the Israeli State’s current government? Do you think Netanyahu speaks for all Jews? Do you think every Jewish person joined and supports the IDF?

        Your comments sound anti-semitic as fuck.

    The fact that an arms embargo is even the thing we’re questioning is crazy.

    The debate about Israel should be whether we just carpet bomb Tel Aviv or if we do a ground invasion.

    I think this would be good for American imperialism even. Just switch sides, start giving Hamas tons of weapons and resources and have a single secular or Islamist Palestine be your new puppet and military base. It’s not like we’re too racist to have a Muslim country as one of our allies and puppets. The Saudis, UAE, Jordan, etc. are all right there. We love giving weapons to “Islamic extremists”! It’s the national pastime!

          I doubt they want that, but I doubt even more that they care; technically they bombed the guy’s family, not other Americans, but regardless…

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
