“We know there are voices across the world calling for a ceasefire, but what everyone needs to understand is that the only people who stand to gain from halting the bombing campaign are people who deeply value human life,”

    It truly is just regular people at the mercy of toxic dicks at either end.

    Feels like lemmy when you’re incorrect or seem to have an opinion that certain instances don’t agree with.

    Shitting on lemmygrad and lemmy.ml aside, appreciate you not being a dick and helping to correct my knowledge of the situation. Given what I now understand, my comment was in error.

    I’m also not defending Hamas or the Israelis. I definitely understand why Hamas acted as they did, but the Israeli response is absolute garbage.

      There’s a lot of emotion flying around with all this right now. It’s better to try to stay back a little bit. Even though that’s largely impossible. Because unfortunately outside of the everyday people, none of the other groups involved are innocent or good.

      And yeah even us socialists aren’t fond of leninists.

        I always find I get along better with socialists even if we aren’t 100% aligned politically. In the states, we vote alike, but that’s like saying we a straight line alike.
