Don't think so, kbin's not stable yet.

I'm a bit out of the loop though because I prefer mobile interface.

Just any kbin account will do it. The info is there in ActivityPub so sooner or later there will be a client that includes it, if there isn't yet.

(My main's at kbin.social but we are temporarily on read-only here at lemmy.world due to our servers going haywire, so to comment here I have to use my lemmy account).

It's nice that you visited, but I believe people like Desmond Tutu, who actually lived through Apartheid in South Africa..

There's a reason why South Africa are the ones with the case against Israel in the international courts. They know what this is.

Honestly, just get yourself an account that allows you to see who votes and vote order, it will save you a lot of paranoia.

3 of the first 11 upvotes are people I recognise and have interacted with. It's obviously not sockpuppets.

If the downvotes I can see, two of the first 3 are people I've recently interacted with as well.

I'm a non-US fediversian and I upvoted it because I thought the headline was funny and because I sympathise with Americans for having to choose between these two old men (who aren't even Bernie Sanders, which would have been more understandable).

It's a point that only makes sense if you don't pay attention to international geopolitics.

Small countries have a vested interest in the upholding of international law because they are vulnerable, so they quite often stick their heads up above the parapet for it. E.g. when the Rohingya Genocide occurred in South East Asia a small country in West Africa, The Gambia, are the ones who took them to the ICC.

As for South Africa, it has a very long history of criticizing Israel for its apartheid. Bishop Desmond Tutu made international headlines by calling it an apartheid after his visit to Israel and Palestine. Moreover, during Apartheid South Africa era, Israel was one of the big weapons suppliers to the Apartheid regime (which was at war with its neighbour) when many countries were boycotting it.

The entire African Union are quite sensitive about what Israel does.

If you know anything about history, it makes perfect sense that South Africans would be leading the charge here (which they have done consistently).

The UN officials aren't saying any of those things. Here's a tldr of the issue

  • The platform is meant to be in Northern Gaza where the worst of the starvation is

  • Israel wants it to be moved south to an Israeli choke point

  • Israel is about to close the crossings in South Gaza so it can attack Rafah

  • If the tiny amount of aid that can come in is able to be diverted to South Gaza then Israel may face less international condemnation over this phase of the Gaza genocide.

Please help me understand why delivering food and medicine to Gaza is bad.

If there is a starving child and you can choose to deliver them the nutrients they need but instead you choose to give them half a peanut instead, in a really theatrical way, that's obviously bad right?

That's what's happening here.

I'd never heard of Ed Zitron but this is the second good blog I've seen by them this week.

That's understandable. I wish you and Blue all the best.

It's also pretty obvious he cheated, though.

He clearly had a good phone, phone plan, and secure comprehensive healthcare.
