Europe about to reintroduce slavery because aborting it was woke.

“Utterly Dismayed”: Air Force Engineer Resigns as Dissent Against Gaza War Slowly Spreads Within Military ( theintercept.com )

Sixteen years ago, Riley Livermore enlisted in the Air Force. His path to the military was shaped by his evangelical Christian upbringing and growing up amid the war on terror. His ensuing career as a flight test engineer took him to Israel, where he spent two years doing missile guidance research. And shortly after October 7,...

Clearview AI is Offering a Stake in Its Company to the People Whose Photos It Stole ( petapixel.com )

Clearview AI, a facial recognition start-up that scraped more than 30 billion photos from social media, can’t afford to pay the settlement bill from its class-action lawsuit so is offering Americans a stake in its company instead....

IndustryStandard OP ,

And pass up on this unique opportunity to join the bourgeoisie?

IndustryStandard ,

America is the largest oil producer in the world. It should not be a surprise the incentives to move to EV is not big. The longer we are all addicted to oil, the more money America and fossil fuel giants make.

China does not have much oil in the ground. They are investing in EV and renewables because it allows them independence from the oil lobby. Which is a very welcome coincidence to fight global warming.

IndustryStandard ,

It is so sad that the pro Israel crowd has made up so many lies about being subject to antisemitism that unless there is evidence I can't trust it.

IndustryStandard ,

We voted Democrat hard enough but voting Democrat didn't work because we didn't vote hard enough.

IndustryStandard OP ,

Israel is was holding hostages before October 7. You are implying that Israel asked for October 7.

IndustryStandard OP ,

No factually Israel had kidnapped Palestinians from the West Bank and held them hostage before October 7.

IndustryStandard OP ,

Yes these are different things. How is this relevant to Israel taking Palestinians hostage?

Hamas says it accepts UN-backed Gaza truce plan, US cites 'hopeful sign' ( www.reuters.com )

TEL AVIV/CAIRO, June 11 (Reuters) - Hamas accepts a U.N. resolution backing a plan to end the war with Israel in Gaza and is ready to negotiate details, a senior official of the Palestinian militant group said on Tuesday in what the U.S. Secretary of State called "a hopeful sign"....

IndustryStandard OP ,

If Hamas rejects the ceasefire its Hamas' fault.

If Israel rejects the ceasefire its... Hamas' fault?

IndustryStandard OP ,

He said the onus was on “one guy” hiding “ten storeys underground in Gaza” to make the casting vote, referring to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

Outrage over ‘massacre’ in Gaza as Israel rescued four hostages ( www.theguardian.com )

At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation....

Remarks by President Biden on Securing Our Border ( www.whitehouse.gov )

Four months ago, after weeks of intense negotiation between my staff and Democrats and Republicans, we came to a clear — clear bipartisan deal that was the strongest border security agreement in decades. But then Republicans in Congress — not all, but — walked away from it. Why? Because Donald Trump told them to. He told...

IndustryStandard ,

These are the people that went from the biggest Commie haters to liking Russia the second the Democrats opposed Russia.

Republicans will take a more extreme or opposite position of the Democrats. It is impossible to appease to them.

IndustryStandard ,

All that's left for Biden is to ban abortion and the election is in the bag

Jewish US Army Major Explains Why He Resigned Over Gaza | Common Dreams ( www.commondreams.org )

Palestinian Authority to pay reduced salaries as Israel blocks funds ( www.reuters.com )

RAMALLAH, Feb 6 (Reuters) - The Palestinian Authority said on Tuesday it will pay public sector workers 60% of their December salaries this week as it grapples with the longrunning fallout of Israel's refusal to transfer tax funds earmarked for Gaza....

IndustryStandard ,

So I am assuming that everyone here enthusiastically posts pro Trump posts all day right?

This is blatant censorship.

IndustryStandard ,

We have negative posts on here when Trump as much as farts. If there is anything bad faith it is claiming that there is a balance in positive and negative posts about Trump.

IndustryStandard ,

He admitted he disliked Biden. That does not make him a propagandist.

IndustryStandard ,

When people only post negative things about Trump what is the reason?

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

IndustryStandard ,

What did you say and what was the removal reason?

IndustryStandard ,

Oh thanks. Sometimes ml posts end up on my world feed but the comments look normal and have many world users.

When I read about people getting banned from ml for posting what they post on world I wonder if the ml mods ban world users in those posts at random or I am missing something.

IndustryStandard ,

Someone said that Biden didn't actually say the first quote so the second story is the real one?

IndustryStandard ,

I read the Reuters article and that random lemmy poster did just gain a lot of credibility.

Asked whether he thought Netanyahu was prolonging the war for his own political reasons, Biden said: "There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion."

He implies that there are reasons people believe it but does not confirm that he believes it himself.

IndustryStandard ,

The gay and trans Palestinians in Gaza must be overjoyed with the support they are experiencing from the west to advance their rights.

I have it on good authority that if we blow up 5 more hospitals Gaza will support the LGBT movement.

New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters ( kotaku.com )

Things aren’t looking good for me. I’m a few levels into Selaco, a new FPS out now on Steam, and I’m stuck behind a bar as a group of sci-fi soldiers unload their rifles and shotguns into my hiding spot. I’m also low on health. So yeah, a bad spot to be in. I take a deep breath and try something....

He Made a PowerPoint on Mothers Starving in Gaza. Then He Lost His Government Job. ( theintercept.com )

Alexander Smith’s PowerPoint presentation doesn’t appear designed to court controversy. The slides, focused on declining maternal health in Gaza, cite public health data from the United Nations and World Health Organization. His employer, the U.S. Agency for International Development, had selected him to share it at the...

IndustryStandard ,

We are reading the same story every week now.

Hamas accepts a permanent ceasefire and Israel refuses. They should change up the script a bit.

IndustryStandard ,

My understanding is that there has not been a ceasefire for a very long time. But I might be wrong if so please correct me.

Muslim nurse in New York fired after calling Israel's war in Gaza 'genocide' ( www.reuters.com )

WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - A New York City hospital fired a Palestinian American Muslim nurse after she called Israel's war in Gaza a "genocide" during an acceptance speech for an award for her work with bereaved mothers who lost their children during pregnancy and childbirth....

IndustryStandard OP ,

It's not illegal but being barred from speaking up against Genocide is certainly not a great look.

When Russia invaded Ukraine every workplace was "standing up for justice". Now justice has to sit down and shut up.

State Department official resigns after Biden administration says Israel not blocking Gaza aid ( www.middleeasteye.net )

A career State Department official resigned from her post on Tuesday, saying she could no longer work for the Biden administration after it released a report concluding that Israel was not preventing the flow of aid to Gaza....

IndustryStandard OP ,

Are you talking about the state department losing Biden the election? It would be amazing if they stopped lying to cover for Israel. That would increase Bidens chances of winning.
