Best to ask your question on hexbear or lemmygrad. I’m sure that there are at least a few people there that will have answers for you

Can confirm. Prices of decent houses in Cape Town are fucking ridiculous, not even to mention the absurd prices for tiny flats.

I must be honest, whenever i hear people from the US say/chant ‘vote blue no matter who’, they genuinely sounds like cultists to me.

Ah i see what you mean, thanks for the clarification. Yes, i agree with you there on why they voted the way they did.

Oh, i think i see what you mean? Yes, the fact that it does count as an actual ceasefire is a good thing.

Sorry if I’m not understanding, english isn’t my first language.

Absolutely not. That’s why when i heard the US abstained i had to double check why, and predictably it was because of the length of the ceasefire.

Also, demanding the change of language from ‘permanent’ ceasefire to ‘sustained’ ceasefire was scummy and probably also part of the reason why they abstained and let the vote pass.

So the ceasefire is only for two weeks. No wonder the US abstained.

Edit: the ceasefire is for the rest of Ramadan, the rest of Ramadan is about two weeks.

This, in my opinion, is the biggest problem. Neoliberalism, unchecked corporate capitialism is the main threat to democracy.

It might sound like hyperbole to some people but i also really feel like it is putting the whole of humanity in danger. With the unchecked plundering of resources around the whole world, and the destruction of ecosystems just for more profits for the ruling class.

You claim to read the future? So Waow

Then the news is probably not as boring as you claim because it caught your interest enough to read and comment, and reply

Then why are you reading and commenting on this post?

He was a baby, a baby starved to death because of Israel’s genocide.

But Melkath never even mentioned jews. He specifically said Israelis throughout his post. And he pretty clearly compared the Israeli people to nazis, not what you said, which was comparing jewish people to nazis.

It feels like you’re doing exactly what the German government is doing, which is equating criticism of Israelis and of Israel to antisemitism.

And yet people will argue that the US is being charitable and concerned about a justified ( in my opinion) blockade of a major shipping route.

South Africa places Israel’s actions since October 7 in the context of a history of “apartheid, expulsion, ethnic cleansing, annexation, occupation, discrimination, and the ongoing denial of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination” … “during its 75-year-long apartheid, its 56-year-long belligerent occupation of Palestinian territory and its 16-year-long blockade of Gaza.” Notably, South Africa points out that Israel has been carrying out extreme violence against Palestinians even before Hamas’s actions on October 7 (which it unequivocally condemns but notes cannot justify genocide).

Well, for weeks before the Houthis said that the reason for the blockade is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. And that once Israel ceases their attacks on Gaza they would end the blockade.

Instead of using their political leverage to get Israel to stop their bombing, and thereby ensuring the end of the Houthi blockade, the US is instead attacking the Houthis and providing even more cover to Israel to continue it’s genocide.

But yes, of course the US and allies would value the delays of shipments and providing genocide cover for Israel more than stopping an ongoing genocide against Palestinians

And yes, it’s a major worldwide shipment route. So why does the US not use their political capital to stop Israel and thereby the blockade instead of attacking the Houthis on their own territory and greatly exacerbating tensions in the region.

That is why i said that there is a disconnect in what the US says and what it does. It has a diplomatic route to take but instead starts warring. And no, saying that the Houthis should just stop the blockade without Israel stopping it’s genocide is not a valid diplomatic route.

So that begs the question if the US is truly concerned with the blockade of a major shipping route or if they’re simply providing cover for Israel to continue bombing Gaza and terrorising the West Bank.

Replying from my alt account

Hehe yep

Edit: and i just realised i posted this from my other account and not my dbzer0 account lol. But point still stands

While this is good, i would have hoped that the secretary general would have used much more strong language at this point.

He should have absolutely condemned the mass murder perpetrated by Israel and called for a total ceasefire, not a humanitarian ceasefire.

He could have at least done that much, since not many in power are willing to call what is happening a genocide and ethnic cleansing, even though that is what’s happening.

Exactly. People don’t want to accept it but i see a lot of parallels between MK and Qassam brigades as liberation armed struggle. When peaceful protest fails then violent opposition is inevitable.
