It's not just the memes.I used to hang out in several political
and news subs and it is dire.

‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank ( www.bbc.com )

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

Yeah, I just finished reading and I don't understand why the world is not acting.
Why can Israel act with impunity. The Western nations have clearly shown that
the rules are different for non-white people and that their lives are not as
valuable. The hypocrisy is shameful.
These are people with dreams and hopes just like us.
The language used by the government, describing Palestinians as vermin
and animals emboldens the settlers. There seem to be few repercussions
for killing a Palestinian, if any.
Israel keeps saying ups this was a mistake and ups we bulldozed entire
villages and ups, a mass grave.
They say they will investigate but when they do, they find no wrong doing
or just a misdemeanour or an error.
The whole situation is a clusterfuck, any other country would be sanctioned
at the least, and ostracised.
And why are the other Arab nations not helping Palestine more? I understand
the situation is complicated, but there are many diplomatic measures to put
pressure on Israel without getting involved in the fighting.

We are so fucked unless we force "all" the big corporations to pay
for the pollution they caused while making trillions in profit over
the decades they polluted and hid the scientific knowledge showing
climate change.
And even then,if we stop polluting right now, we still might not
Make it as a civilisation.

What’s the point of Starmer’s Labour if it won’t stand up for poor, sick or disabled people? | Frances Ryan ( www.theguardian.com )

"It is not a coincidence that the spending that is deemed irresponsible is typically for the benefits system or wider welfare state. Tax breaks for a CEO’s investment portfolio are prudent, while funding for a disabled person’s care worker is wasteful."
