I actually invite you to boycott Croatia because:

https://mvep.gov.hr/press-22794/minister-grlic-radman-on-solidarity-visit-to-israel/264521

Don't let this fool you:

https://glashrvatske.hrt.hr/en/foreign/croatian-government-pledges-more-aid-for-gaza-12169464

Boycott us and say why are you doing that. Croatia supported genocide for too long. It needs to be punished.

So, Lemmy, will you boycott coming to Croatia?

Is he on bskye? So I can send him postcards from Gaza. That's my recent satisfaction, but I don't know much politicans by name. Anyways, whoever wants those postcards, I will gladly share. My phone is full of evidence.

Mossad, don't bother, I have 3 copies of it. Even if you fuck up my phone, these are on the cloud, on USB stick and on my other phone. ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿ–•

Before this I congratulated Eid to my bestie from Gaza, then I watched some astrology video randomly, also because we talked about the crescent and because I searched for the date of the crescent I found out that this morning was a solar eclipse and then this astrologer on YouTube said that it means a death of a king and I prayed Netanyahu dies this weekend. For happy Eid.

Then finally BadEmpanada appeared on a live stream.

(I'm atheist and I don't believe in astrology, but, gosh, it would be so awesome if Netanyahu dies for the Eid. Karmic justice for Gaza.)

Cheers ๐Ÿป

I saw it this morning. And I saw that some are saying that because the comments were violent the sub was supposed to be banned. Maybe that was Musk. ๐Ÿ˜

My friend just informed me she lost her brother in law and her niece. Killed in bombings. Three weeks ago she lost her father.

Since burial costs 300$ or else the bodies end in a mass grave, I'm kindly asking if anyone can donate to http://spot.fund/lj4zktsc

Edit: Thanks so much to these two people who donated. It's beyond appreciated. Thank you.

I'm trying to help my friends in Gaza, so I created a flash fundraising for them. I hope you will join this cause as well.

Open the link, read our cause and donate. My friends need you and I need you to join me helping them.

Thank you and happy New Year.

Shireen and I became friends two or three months ago when I started to help her family and since then we're talking almost daily. She had a lot of problems setting up a campaign on GoFundMe and kissed a lot of doors from charity organizations which gave her no reply, even though she provided all the required documentation (she even sent me her father's passport photo so I don't doubt her honesty).

Because of those obstacles, her family in Gaza received very few donations and relies on humanitarian aid, which is extremely scarse on the north because of the inhumane siege. Her friends and I help as much as we can, but for a young man with Down syndrome, her father that has sepsis and her diabetic mother it's simply not enough.

That's why I'm sharing her campaign she managed to set on SpotFund recently.

Please join me in helping her family. ๐Ÿ™

If you can, share her family's story on your social media accounts as well.

Thank you for your time and generosity.

Self explanatory. I had to cut it because of duration.

Beautiful introduction to the discussion.

I would like to remind everyone of donating directly to the families in Gaza. Many, many of them have GoFundMe and similar campaigns where they ask us for help. They need money. Try to imagine being starved and trying to run for your life. Sick, injured and on top of that starved and to be under constant bombing running for your life or what's left of it. Money we send them is used for basic necessities us free people (as resistance calls us) don't even think about. So please, please, consider "adopting" a family and help them survive this hell.

There's a lot of discussion on how they even receive that money. They do, through merchants (war dogs) who have the cash, so they're also a money exchange, since they receive it from the sender (usually campaign organizer) on their bank account and pay out cash to the receivers, with very high provisions, 15-30%.

Aid by organisations, unfortunately, get stuck. I don't even want to go into the depths of corruption during the war, but every war is like that, brings out the worse in those who can use the situation to their benefit. Also, let's not forget that the criminal IOF is attacking aid trucks. A lot of Gazans told me most of the aid just doesn't come through. That's why direct donations are the best way to help.

I've just sent an eSIM to these kids https://youtube.com/@ahmed-and-mahmoud-days, so, where is a will, there's a way.

Hope you will join many of us and donate.

Today my heart broke because that guy I posted about, whom I'm helping and trying to find more donors, I asked him what will they do if this https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/22/middleeast/netanyahu-gaza-hamas-expulsions-plan-intl/index.html happens. He told me they're tired, exhausted and staying on north, that he wishes to die because he's tired of seeing death... I broke. I literally broke and cried until I knocked myself with xanax because it was unbearable. I was practically saying goodbye to him and his family today. Three months, we knew each other three months, we shared our thoughts, I would comfort him, he would comfort me... A part of me died today. Saying goodbye to him was one of the most hurtful thing to experience for me. He is my friend and my friend told me he's waiting to die and if Netanyahu does this, they're staying to die. He told me not to be sad, which made me sob even harder.

Damn fucking Israel and damn fucking USA. I wish Netanyahu, his government, his army and his settlers that Israel collapses, that they lose everything and one by one gets mysteriously shot in the head. Fuck you, Biden! Netanyahu, choke! I hate you all so much, I wish you all die in a stampedo of people who will beat you to death. One of those foots in the head is mine. Drop dead, scum, I wish you nothing but death and death of your families, that your seed disappears, like my Palestinians lost everything, like they'll never have children and future. FUCK YOU!!!

I have a friend from Lebanon, I haven't heard from him in months. I don't know what's with his family in Lebanon, is he ok...

Fucking Israel is taking everything from us. We're maybe tertiary victim of this, but we are also victims. One year we're watching this genocide, nothing was solved, it's even worse now and now they mutilated Lebanese men and bombing their land. We're empty, depressed, defeated and helpless together with the primary victims. Nothing we did didn't made Biden to fucking get Israel at its place. It's only worse.

Israel will be dead, Palestine will be free. Fuck you, Zionists, fuck off and die and choke in your blood. Monsters. Nothing but monsters and scum.

I'm still in a some kind of shock on what happened to that platform. The reason why I was perma banned is ludacris, stated as hate speech and I see literal hate speech passing without anyone's intervention. Feels like a parallel universe there. Hasbara bots everywhere, no one sanctioned, propalestinian accounts being banned... Psycho shit.

[-] Mantikora@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago

Go to r/Lebanon. It's full of Zionists and the whole sub hates Hezbollah and justifies Israel. I don't understand. If those are Lebanese people, they should stand with Palestine, but unfortunately, just like Iranians, they're fed up with them. Tragic. Instead of hating the invader, they hate the victim.

[-] Mantikora@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Of course it was.

[-] Mantikora@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

I don't know about you, but I am in a fucking shock. After one year of Gaza a person would think it can't go any further than Gaza. Obviously it can.

I'm thinking of all of those men who lost their penises... Imagine, being a traditional man and losing your penis. Imagine the pain behind that. I'm a woman and I can feel it, how humiliating it has to be.

And I know ITF and Mossad laughed. This is funny to them.

We live in a despicable world.

I'm trying to find decent sneakers that would last at least 3 years, preferably more, but that are not genocidal brands. It would be awesome if they didn't support slave labor and animal cruelty as well.

Internet doesn't provide help. https://huffsports.com/which-sports-brands-support-palestine/ Adidas? Nike? Puma?! Aren't those brands which actually support State of occupated Palestine called Israel?

Edit: Checked out some ethical sustainable brands in EU. Expensive, so I'll see if I want to spend that amount of money on sneakers, but, having Miret/Earthbound ones I bought on a really good discount, seems that's a good long-term sustainable eco ethical investment.

[-] Mantikora@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

And what do French citizens say about this? ๐Ÿ’…

[-] Mantikora@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Oh, f slur is here pretty common when you want to say that someone is a lousy person. Even my gay friends use it. I'm telling you, Balkans is a really wild place and growing up here as old millennial as well and now being social only online among different people and different generations, I've started to think about the way we use words. And yeah, my first reaction is "you don't get to tell me how to speak" until I realize that it really isn't ok to say it and sometimes I really need an explanation to understand it and stop doing it. Call me stupid, I won't get offended because I really can be stupid sometimes, that's why I asked this.

R as ret ar ded.

I'm from Balkans and I think there's no swearing anywhere in the world like in Balkans. We use slurs A LOT and pretty casually, so I am always surprised when I am censored on some word online.

It happened just now. The R word was removed from my comment, so I wanted to find out what's going on with it.

Since I talk to people from all around the world, I don't want to be an ignorant fool and I want to learn why it isn't ok to say something, so I can implement it without the feeling I'm being deprived of free speech.

Again, take in consideration the Balkan thing if you think I'm trolling with this post. I'm not. I swear to you, the shit we're able to say are insane and we really think it's no big deal.

So, when did R word became a slur and why it's not ok to call someone R word as an insult?

Thank you for the education. A human learns while grows and until dies.

EDIT: You're really nice community and I am really thankful you've explained this to me. As I said, I can be a Slow Poke sometimes and growing where I grew, some shit has just stuck as normal and I am glad to unlearn it. My heart is leftist, but I grew up as a Catholic in the midst of the war where we learned a lot of hateful stuff as a normal part of identity. I want to fuck it off from me, so thanks, really.
