bzzzt wrong 🤣

are you sure about that? so you’re saying they boarded the boats and immediately raped and shot them?

do you know what on sight means?

I mean you can only do this because Israel is nice, good luck doing this to Islamic State, you’d be raped and beheaded on sight

what in the fuck is this

If you want to hear “the map is more accurate” from someone

No I’m aware the map is more accurate, my argument was that this should be a map update not a social justice conquest, as if somehow this will make 1 bit of difference to this:

A short while ago, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage condemned protesters in Dover covering their faces.

He said he “deplored” anyone wearing masks or balaclavas at public demonstrations.

“You should not be allowed to be masked up, balaclava-ed up and go out and protest on the streets of our country. It is wrong at every level. So I deplore what is happening in Dover today,” Farage added.

Accuracy isn’t the problem, if they’d come out and said we’re changing the map to be more accurate I would have been like, great!

But this whole, Africa needs justice for appearing smaller on a map, I cried tears of joy etcetc this is about social justice etc what a load of wank

“Resolutions like this and the ideological agenda they promote, are barnacles on our work here, and the reason this institution is losing its credibility,” the statement read.

He’s not wrong

Supporters of the Correct the Map campaign say a different projection could help provide a fairer visual representation of the world and challenge longstanding misconceptions about Africa’s size and importance.

I don’t think it’s the size of Africa on a map that is weighing down it’s importance… I don’t recall anyone saying wow africa is so small… 😳

Ben Gvirs idea is still insane, tho…

Yeah I just feel like after 9/11 America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq with popular support:

Even before his speech, Americans were inclined to believe the worst about Hussein’s regime. In a survey conducted a few weeks prior to the State of the Union, 73% favored military action in Iraq to end Hussein’s rule; just 16% were opposed. More than half (56%) said the U.S. should take action against Iraq “even if it meant U.S. forces might suffer thousands of casualties.”

And remember at the time

On 15 February 2003, a coordinated day of protests was held across the world in which people in more than 600 cities expressed opposition to the imminent Iraq War. It was part of a series of protests and political events that had begun in 2002 and continued as the invasion, war, and occupation took place. The day was described by social movement researchers as “the largest protest event in human history”.[1]

And Iraq and Afghanistan had the shit kicked out of them anyway with Dick Cheney acting as a Ben Gvirs type character

Nothing galvanises support for military action quite like a nation that has been attacked, and Oct 7th was the perfect in its genocidal massacres of kids dancing at a music festival:

Shortly after the October 7 attacks, there was broad support in Israeli society for military operations in Gaza.[690][691] A public opinion poll conducted in December 2023 by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 87% of Jewish Israelis supported the war in Gaza.[692]

I just don’t know if the gamble Hamas took with Palestinian lives has paid off in a way they hoped it would (and who knows maybe in 20 years time after spending 10 trillion zillion dollars Israel will pull out of Gaza as well)

The IDF could have deleted Gaza 7 times over by now, calm down

thanks!

The party promises emigrants an “absorption package” including “assistance with travel, initial housing, vocational training, employment and support for up to 24 months,” as well as payments to host countries based on the number of Gazans they take in. Turkey, Ethiopia, the Congo and unspecified Arab countries are being considered as potential destinations, according to the party.

Sounds like this could work for a significant number of people:

JERUSALEM, May 6 (Reuters) - Almost half of Gazans may be willing to apply to Israel to help them leave to other countries, according to a survey on Tuesday that also showed significant support for anti-Hamas protests.
