Editorial Board: The teen arrested in Georgia school shooting is not an adult, and shouldn't be treated like one in c/[email protected]

Right. Like the whole point of treating juveniles differently is that they are incapable of understanding the magnitude of what they are doing. If anything, the argument for treating them differently is the strongest when applied to very serious crimes like murder.

I'm so tired of people on Lemmy/kbin downvoting news because it doesn't support their narrative. Like argue all you want about Biden staying in the race, that's great and fine. But do you think trying to suppress news of people's legitimate doubts is really the way to win an election?

'My school abandoned me': California university cancels pro-Palestinian student's commencement speech in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago (5 children)

There are many of us (I'm in Israel and involved in anti-war and anti-genocide activism). And most of us lost people on October 7th, some of whom were peace activists (look up Vivian Silver, for example). Since then we have also lost Palestinian friends and partners in activism in the ethnic cleansing campaign currently going on in Gaza.

It is true that we are a minority, but it is so hard facing discrimination from both sides - I have a pro-Palestine sticker on my computer, but it is in Hebrew. So when I'm in Israel, I get harassed about it. When I'm not in Israel, anti-semites who can't read it assume it's something pro-israel (or just Jewish).
It feels very lonely sometimes, so thanks very much, @GrymEdm.
