finally some good FUCKING news
Yeah really good international news today.
What else good happened please fucking God I need something good to happen
Upgrade the flotilla to an armada plz. Let's get some freedom of navigation exercises going.
give greta a gun
greta has gone without a gundam for far too long, showing immense restraint
get in the gundam, greta
Are gundams as problematic as evangelions?
From what i seen it's half/half, most gundams are not more problematic than let's say jet fighters, just a weapons, but iirc there is some ubermensch/chosen one stuff there too.
I've only watched one and a half gundam series (witch from Mercury, and Turn A) so I don't think I've seen enough to make a proper assessment. That said, I would say yes and no?
spoiler for witch from mercury and evangelion
I'm guessing you've watched Evangelion but still putting the spoiler warning for people who may not have
The main protag's Suletta's gundam is a vessel for her dead sister in the same way that unit 1 in evangelion is Shinji's mum Yui, so they do explore themes about parental love, loss and devotion, but while gendo ikari is a detestable character for 90% of the series, Suletta's mum is a ruthless but largely charming character with similar motives to Gendo. They're quite interesting contrasts
Let's hope if the Zionists do try to attack, they hit Italy/Spain and trigger NATO Civil War. That's one Marvel movie I'd watch.
Israel could straight up sink this entire flotilla, Navy and all, and the world would do nothing
Because the US and Israel are rogue states with nukes
Obviously this is a good thing but why did it take nearly two years and 200k+ dead for them to finally lift a finger? They could have done this a long time ago.
It’s the NATO approach to everything. Covid, climate change, this, etc.
Popular pressure I think.
ERE WE GO ERE WE GO 
no more half measures walter
I have had this position and will maintain this position: any country that bombs israel will forever get my support. It may be critical support if they do fucked up shit, but they will forever have the benefit of the doubt in my eyes
Like to think of this as a coupla countries making amends for fascist takeovers in their recent past.
Build up that Antifa fleet!
Is something finally fucking happening?
Or are these two boats just going to rock up and attack the flotilla themselves or some shit

‘Actually, the Israelis were right, this is Hamas’
Ok I'm starting to get a little optimistic but maybe it's just the Lexapro.
Spain is one of those formerly colonial nations that has decent international politics today. Probably why they don’t get as much hate as the UK or France still do
They only JUST recognized Palestine, a d are typically opposed to all independence movements because they want to delegitamize any arguments for a free Catalonia
True, but the bar is so low for colonial nations that it doesn’t take much to look good in comparison
recognizing a palestinian state with a bunch of terms and conditions including the continued existence of "israel" isn't the gesture you think it is.
they want to delegitamize any arguments for a free Catalonia
based
You'll get further with humanitarian aid and a multinational navy escort than you will with just humanitatian aid
Now we just need France, Roman reunion
Please please please let there be some western countries regaining a soul. I like a lot of European aesthetics. Western redemption arc when?
regaining
regaining?
once it was just your average fucked up class society
We have symbolic military action.... OK..... Let's not wait another 2 years for the next thing.
technically this is two things in a couple days
VADA A BORDO, CAZZO!
Elite ball knowledge
haven't read the statements so correct me if im wrong but it's most likely there to stop drone and small boat attacks and once the flotilla reaches near gaza they will cooperate with the IDF in order to extract their own citizen and leave the rest to rot.
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
