    BRB, on my way to withdraw all funding for an UN agency with 30.000 employees because 12 of them have been denounced by Israel.

          The israeli “evidence” has been leaked and confirmed fake

          Are the quotes you provided supposed to support the “confirmed fake” part of your comment?

          Because “has not seen proof” and “provides no evidence” do not equate to “confirmed fake”.

          The number of very online people who think countries share their intelligence with every Channel 4 news who asks is a little surprising.

        The evidence provided by Israel alleging that roughly a dozen UNRWA staffers participated in Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught is “highly credible,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday, as media outlets published additional details on the implicated employees, including photos from an Israeli dossier. “We haven’t had the ability to investigate [the allegations] ourselves. But they are highly, highly credible,” Blinken said during a press conference

            I used to have faith that bad people will eventually pay for their crimes. That the weight of their sins will crush them eventually. But these past decades have taught me that the new response to crushing weight of sin is to simply get a stronger spine.

          Otoh, Blinken and Biden have parroted everything the IDF feeds them until independent journalists debunk it.

          So we’ve cut funding without conducting any investigation. Great.

          This sounds like something The Onion would have written.

    I feel like this is a little too accurate for shitpost. I don’t know the proper sub for it, but it’s pretty true.

      @snek@lemmy.world Maybe you could Crosspost this to !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca if you’re on mobile and don’t have crosspost button just make a new post using the same link as this post https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/20e095d5-b044-4e69-b1d7-486f63ac3037.png and it’ll count as a crosspost. So long as it’s the same link.

        “Bad faith arguments” is not a reason to flag people in Lemmy Shitpost. Please do not abuse the flagging system again.

          Then what good is your moderation? The whole fucking point of having you around is TO police bad faith arguing. That’s what mods are FOR.

            Mods are for enforcing community rules. This is a shitpost community, not a debate community. The rules are very clear on the sidebar and ‘bad faith arguments’ is not one of them.

            Feel free to find a different community if you want to report ‘bad faith arguments’ multiple times. If you do it here, I’m going to tell you to stop before I act. Because I prefer give warnings.

              And you can’t enforce ANY rule without protecting your people against bad faith arguing. It’s a foundation of ALL communities, whether explicitly written in its guidelines or not, because meaningful debate is the foundation of ALL human interaction and is primarily what abuse and harassment is.

              The needs of your people are more important than your laziness, selfishness, and unwillingness to do your job. Don’t like it? Step the fuck down. You go find a different community to play king over if you don’t like it.

                Okay, I think you need to take a break. We’ll see you in a week. I wouldn’t advise telling another mod to ‘step the fuck down.’ They might be less lenient.

                  “Dont tell people abusing their power that they are abusing their power or they might abuse their power”

                  Yeah you should probably step down if that is your opinion…

      The weapons embargo in Alderaan prevented those people from handing over the Jedi. The Empire itself maintains that embargo! What were the people of Alderaan to do?

    I hear at least one of the Jedi was a Sith, good thing they were defunded. Now if we could only defund all the conspiracy theorists about the emperor being a Sith as well.

    While the real life situation this is based off is quite sad and upsetting…

    This is hilarious beyond belief.
