Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I legit don’t understand how they can block a UN agency? Like, what? Is that legal - I know they’re killing UN peacekeepers which should also be illegal but this seems a step even beyond that. Can countries just ban UN agencies from working there?

I made the mistake of looking up this news on Reddit, thinking this would be opposed by the people who love procedure and civility and “international law”.

Big mistake. Don’t do it. You’ll burst your brain/heart from anger and sadness.

That's bc you went to r/worldnews.

If you go anywhere else people call this shit out.

Seriously, worldnews is just western propaganda central; it always has been, but reddit appointed a CIA plant as their director of policy and things got much worse

I’ve had libs try to compare my antizionism to like deporting all people not of Native American descent from America (based) and I can’t understand how they don’t get THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

It’s not even close in complexity to something like reparations for African Americans or Native Americans.

However this all concludes whether it be: the worst case, best case, or mixed case scenario I honestly have to wonder out loud how anyone is expected to take phrases like "rules base international order" and "human rights" seriously ever again going forward?

Like I'm not naive and I know it was always bullshit and the rules have always been whatever we say they are but like...is this really gonna just be a case where everything is memory holled and everyone just tried to act like it wasn't all exposed as a fucking sham for everyone to see?

I'm struggling to be cynical enough to believe it will play out like that...so I worry I am naive.

It really depends on how much of the world is paying attention. They did this shit all throughout the Cold War and the global south still worshipped them. Maybe things might be different this time around with social media really highlighting everything wrong.

When you’re a western puppet state, everything is legal

Seems like a step up from murdering every UNRWA employee, which I assume was the only alternative anyone in the knesset considered.
