Israel is committing a genocide and what hold do they have over the entire world that we’re not allowed to talk about it?

Let’s not give Israel all the credit for the Australian governments’ complicity and the weapon parts we send over.
Australia is an imperial power too, you just hear less about the islands our police occupy.

Let me say that I do believe that the Israeli government is committing genocide. And they believe they are too. They’ve said the quiet part out loud. They don’t want to live in peace with the Palestinians.

Can you tell us how many people have died of natural causes in Gaza over the past 27 months?
If you don’t have the statistics are you able to extrapolate from past statistics?
Also, who broke the peace agreement on Oct 07 2023?

How have you still not copped a ban for repeated genocide denial?
Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 day ago
We can’t tell you because Israel purposely bombed all the hospitals and killed the journalist
DancingBear@midwest.social 1 day ago
Trash.
Israel is committing genocide. Everyone knows it. Even the people accepting money from Israeli supporting donors to deny it.
Anyone who currently supports the Israeli regime is an antisemite racist turd.

According to worldbank.org:
- In 2022 the crude death rate across Gaza and West Bank was 3.0/1000pop/year.
- In 2023 it was 7.0/1000pop/year.
I expect Gaza specific stats are worse. Maybe someone else has further info they can cite, perhaps also relating to 2024-2025, but like others have said, such data is difficult to collect when Israel repeatedly bombs hospitals and their personnel.

The Hamas attack on October 7 was also wrong and bad. No excuses there. But there has to be limits on retaliation.

American here: we played this game leading up to our last election. Don’t let them get away with this. Remember the power of truth in your words. Keep calling this a genocide.

How about being a Muslim Israeli, is that ok? There are over 2 million Muslim Israelis.

I’ll be honest, I really never understood this zionist thing. How come they have so much power over protestant countries? the wiki says its a movement to establish a jew only land in current Palestine.

More or less, yes.
How come they have so much power over protestant countries?
Long story short, they proved themselves in the 1940s to be a powerful force in the region. The Middle East is known to be rich in resources such as petroleum oil, and it also has major trade routes like the Suez Canal (I’m sure you saw the impact of the Evergreen blockage) and land routes through Afghanistan, Iran, etc… One can see how important the region is in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. So, having a military outpost able to credibly threaten this region with overwhelming force is a very powerful tool for Western imperial powers like the US and (historical) NATO allies.
So, the Zionist Regime has influence over these countries because they want the Zionist Regime to help us keep power in the region.
CXORA mentioned the Evangelical Christianity aspect of it, which is real, but I consider that to be more the cultural propaganda reason than the underlying material reason.

A Jewish homeland bwing restored around Jerusalem is meant to be one of the signs of the apocalypse. Christians want nothing more than the world to end. Its a huge part of the religion.

Australia is a colony of convicts which ‘grew’ into a nation of wardens.
Authoritarian states will always side with their peers over their citizens.
eureka@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
These are flimsy slogans: The prison colony of Australia always had wardens in charge. And if you consider Australia to be “authoritarian”, what states aren’t authoritarian? Wouldn’t we at least be siding with Russia, Iran, and North Korea? Australia sides with the Zionist Regime because of our imperialism; because our rich can get richer by war profiteering.
