Ukraine is so fucked. With their infrastructure bombed, men killed and all social infrastructure and natural resources sold off to private/foreign investors… And the rich still profit off of all of this misery.

It’s not. Germany is Israel’s 2nd biggest supporter after the US in terms of sending weapons and criminalising antizionism

Nato propagandists are organising a tour around educational institutions in my country to convince people that military spending needs to be increased and sell nationalist pro war talking points. I’m more worried about them than the Russians tbh.

Serbian protests had the support of most of the general population. The students faced a lot of state violence as well, but this only made their case stronger and caused more people to join. Protests like these for the most part are a numbers game. The more people join in the safer it is. The US population has been pacified and I see the only way to improve conditions is to agitate and depacify.

So you’re right that the condition in the US are different and that a different approach might be needed, but sitting by and doing nothing will for sure not help. I’m really tired of people on lemmy throwing their hands in the air while less fortunate people are being harmed by your government’s actions. It pains me to see how little people actually care if it turns out they need to actually make sacrifices to change anything.

Serbian students have been occupying most university faculties for months to organise and facilitate the protests. You don’t get your leaders to step down by complaining on the internet.

Double standards would be correct since EU member states send weapons to Israel that are being used to commit genocide.

Good point. Although in my experience rich people with good education are generally very bad representatives for the working class. The people I’ve met that do the best work regarding unionisation and organising are people who learned about class struggle through personal experience.

When it comes to class struggle, the best education is lived experience.

Perfect reason for a strike.

It keeps baffling me how Dutch media is even more biased towards *srael than *sraeli media. But it’s probably because Dutch people would actually be shocked to read it while most *sraeli’s probably support the racism.

No news outlet is going to report on that but there are videos of the racist and pro genocide chants. Amsterdam has a large Palestinian community in which many people have family members that were murdered by those IDF pigs.

They literally ran through the streets ripping and burning Palestinian flags and shouting pro genocide chants one day ago. They’re scum.

It’s not just an embargo, it’s a criminal blockade that every UN country except the US, Israel and Ukraine has agreed should end.

We do! I remember your username because I’ve seen you post good takes in a sea of genocide defenders attacking you.

Whataboutism is not a serious argument.

Russia is helping with an effort to create pressure to stop a genocide and the US is helping commit the genocide.

The Palestinian genocide has been going on for decades.

If the European council has enough evidence to call what’s happening in Ukraine a genocide, then they should have more than enough information to call what’s been happening in Palestine a genocide even before Oktober 7th of last year. They didn’t need a ICJ ruling for Ukraine, and they don’t need one for Palestine.

I’m commenting under an article about the European council why would you assume I’m in the US?

We don’t all have friends in Gaza, most people don’t which is why they are so good at ignoring what’s going on there.

Comparing the Palestinian genocide to China’s repression of Uyghurs is minimising the absolute horrors that are taking place in Palestine. Uyghurs are being repressed and China is violating their human rights, they are not being slaughtered.

The Palestinian genocide is funded by the West. Mostly by the US but the EU and my government is also complicit. I, as a EU citizen will always press harder on crimes that are committed in my name.
