BRUSSELS, Feb 19 (Reuters) - The European Union on Monday warned Israel against launching an offensive in Rafah that ministers said would create a disaster for the roughly 1.5 million refugees crammed into the city on the southern edge of Gaza. "An attack on Rafah would be absolutely catastrophic ... it would be unconscionable," Ireland's Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said before a meeting with foreign ministers from the 27 EU member states in Brussels.

We've spent 4 months saying it's too much.

Drop this stupid facade unless you're willing to back shit up.

Your complacency is transparent and will be punished when the guard changes.

Everyone pay attention and witness the willingness of your leaders to help you. When someone comes for you, you'll receive the same level of support.

Decide to change your leaders to someone who cares.

Is that a threat?

Bless your heart you foolish moron.

I hope Bibi is paying you enough for God to look the other way to your crimes. Your best hope to avoid eternal damnation is reincarnation by tring again. You should look into Buddhism instead.

How do people like you even function in society. I'd love to see you mouth off to people in the real world. I'd wager you don't say shit. You wouldn't even manage eye contact. Pathetic.

You talk of spouting my mouth off, when yours is too full of Bibi's shriveled cock to speak words clearly.

Your God is watching, are you sure they're happy with your actions? Have you read your Holy Book lately without Bibi's interpretation? Maybe consider he's the devil you're supposed to identify, not follow into hell. Fool.

Much like the rest of your mentally ill brethren, your fantasies of confronting someone that won't make eye contact is just that, an admission of your keyboard warrior fantasy. I'm quite happy in my life, other than the fact that I'm aware genocide is occuring. This thought is slightly tempered by knowing that you're going to Hell if you keep this up.

I'm Asian you moron.

You could be green with 6 arms, it doesn't matter. One doesn't need to be Jewish to be sucking Bibi's cock as passionately as you are.

Fail.

Sad.

Stop warning and have some actual consequences. At the very least halt all military aid, every bit of weaponry sent to Israel will be used for war crimes. Ideally halt all support to Israel. "Warning" does fuck all.

Israel will go on with it. The EU will keep doing business as usual. We know the drill already. They’re saying this now just for moral posturing.

Stern words will surely help!!!

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
