Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Everything about the western response to this is withering.

I don't think I have ever seen such a concerted amount of propaganda in my life. It is absolutely god awful. It makes me want to scream.

Follow your heart and use your head. You're allowed to disagree with "your country's" response.

Also, fact check. A LOT of misinformation and propoganda flowing right now

Remember, it's not your personal responsibility to convince everyone of your beliefs. Don't beat yourself up over that, no matter what happens.

Yeah, I understand that. What is getting me down is seeing how intense the propaganda machine is.

That said, the actual grassroots responses I am seeing (the few that I have either overheard or asked for) are mostly on Palestine's side.

I'm old enough to remember the post-9/11 freakout as an adult. All of this is extremely reminiscent of that. Of course now there's much more capable independent media capabilities, fortunately. There wasn't even youtube back then.

When Israel did this recently people just started writing "Palestinian flag" on pieces of cloth and waving them around

So is free speech a right or not? Is it only a right when fascists invoke it?

If you live there it is now your duty to go out with Palestine flags

Knit one if you have to, or make one from old boxershorts and towels

Whatever you got
