Why are we still referring to these human shit stains as settlers? Invaders? Genocidists? Murderers and thieves? Settlers gives them a legitimacy they lack.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It wasn't even random "settlers"
It was 7 of the most violent despicable ones, and the sanctions did nothing
But Bibi told Biden to revoke the sanctions, so he did.
By his own words over decades of political service, Biden has constantly reiterated that he'll do what Israel asks because as a toddler his dad made him promise.
It's fucking insane that everyone just didn't care over half a century
If it comes down to Israel or America, Biden will always pick Israel. That's where his loyalties lie because of a childhood promise a lifetime ago.
There's reasons why it took him over 30 years to win his first presidential primary, and this is one of the big ones.
Care to elaborate on what you mean by childhood promise?
The word comes from settler colonialism, which means the colonists come steal the land and live on it instead of just enslave the people.
Somehow people starter using the word "colonialist" instead of "settler" which is weird because settler sounds far too peaceful for these psychopathic Nazi colonists.
Why are we still referring to these human shit stains as settlers?
Peas in a pod stick with each other no matter what. US knows a thing or two about wiping out the natives.
At this point netenyahoo is attempting to establish a caliphate, so terrorists seems a viable option.
You can blame bibi all you want, this issue predates him. Scapegoating him only enables this problem to continue. Don't get me wrong he sucks, but removing him will not drastically change the situation.
"Antisemitism in Germany predated Hitler, scapegoating him only enables the problem to continue," Nazis in the 40s probably. What a clown thing to say. He is the current tip of the genocidal spear known as Israel. Though I agree with you entirely that removing him won't change Israel's genocidal actions. That doesn't mean he shouldn't be tried at The Hague and put in prison for life.
That's exactly what I'm saying though.
Fair! Fuck Netanyahu and the Likud.
Ah, but shitting on Biden and the US at every opportunity is completely reasonable while talking bad about the guy who is actually pulling the trigger is fucking scapegoating!?
Did you miss the part where Biden removed the sanctions on those settlers or something? Jesus fuck you people are insufferable.
I did actually miss that part. Cuz it doesn't seem to be in this article at all I don't know where the title comes from.
It doesn't seem to be in the article? The article is specifically about the executive branch, led by Biden, removing the sanctions. What else do you want? A signing telegram?
It's literally the first fucking sentence.
The US has dramatically softened the sanctions it imposed on seven violent Israeli settlers by allowing them to use their accounts at Israeli banks
And yet that's nowhere in there. There's no executive decree no change, no nothing. That's the first sentence and nothing backs it up in the entire article. In fact the only information the article is that they sent out a letter clarifying questions about the sanctions. There's nothing in there but actual changes. This is a bogus article from a bogus Source who uses bogus sources.
No, but the point is your hypocrisy. I never said that lifting the sanctions is right.
But "Jesus fuck" would it never cross my mind to call the person who is ordering those atrocities in Gaza a scapegoat.
Edit: Looks like Biden didn't lift anything.
He lifted the majority of the sanctions. There's no impactful sanctions left anymore.
Y not religious fanatics? Or religious extremists.
Settlers? More like genocidal religious nutters.
They're not all religious nutters. There was just that post the other day from that nerdy genocidal atheist nutter who was very offended about being called religious just because he's a genocidal settler.
Most petty useless sanctions ever by Biden
Instantly removes them when israel tells him to
What a brave man wagging his finger to israel for a few days.
Maybe israel can tell Biden to lift his sanctions that are starving Cuba too.
This title does not seem to match up with a contents of the article. An article whose sources I I somewhat question by the way.
The title does match. US government enacted sanctions on 7 people that restricted 3 types of financial transactions. Now they have removed the most important of the 3 restrictions.
No, it doesn't. They did not ease the sanctions. They clarified what sanctions were already in place. I'm with you, stricter sanctions are needed here, but they did not remove any restrictions because that restriction was not truly in place before.
