@cloudless thank you for those links, now I understand.

Take a look at Times of Israel in MBFC

Amongst other things it says:

Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER
Factual Reporting: HIGH
Country: Israel
MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MODERATE FREEDOM
Media Type: Website
Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

When covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they usually are objective and cover both sides fairly, such as this: IDF strikes fresh Hamas targets after 2nd rocket fired from Gaza Strip. However, during the conflict of 2023, they were less objective, focusing on the objectives of the Israeli military. In general, the Times of Israel is factual with a slight left-leaning editorial bias.

This is not a joke, just check it out.

@ernest thank you for the update and everything. Its great to hear your personal matter is kinda sorted.

1. I already have the moderation of several magazines so I won’t be able to contribute to that more, I think.

2. I am a little bit familiar with bug reporting, not in github tho. So I just created a github account and a codeberg to try and contribute. Of course I will have to spend time checking out the existing ones and familiarizing myself with the platforms. I say all this because if you or any of the active devs, have test cases or a specific area that you would like to check first or anything relevant, I would gladly do my best to help on demand.

@SharkAttak in the link you provided it says stuff like:

There’s threads denyng the oppression of Uyghur muslims (…)

Other posts deny that North Korea is oppressive.

I don’t understand how these posts are a proof that lemmy has a bunch of devs that are tankies, since there is no link to the problematic threads they mention. If somehow I missed them could you point those out to me?

Also not too sure I understand how this is a topic related to devs and not mods?

The title: U.S. [claims it] wants Israeli written assurances on using U.S. weapons in Gaza by mid-March
The last sentence: The Israeli Defense Ministry declined to comment.

Does this sums it up or is it just my impression??

Fascists are in favor of zionism, not Palestine. Meloni is no exception.

The report of the Israeli watchdog NGO Peace Now they talk about in the article can be found here:
A Good Year for Settlements; A Bad Year for Israel: Summary of Settlement Activity in 2023 -15.2.24

Thank you so much for informing me of this mess. Fixed.

There’s a reason a two state solution has only ever worked on paper.

Actually there are several. For me seeing an article like that from the side of the settler-colonials gives me hope. The apartheid in South Africa wouldn’t have been abolished without the consent of the the colonizers.

From another article Hamas Gives ‘Initial Positive Confirmation’ On Truce Plan: Qatar - Barron’s they say:

“That proposal has been approved by the Israeli side and now we have an initial positive confirmation from the Hamas’ side,” Majed al-Ansari told an audience at a Washington-based graduate school.

A source close to Hamas said, however, that there was still no consensus on the proposal.

“There is no agreement on the framework of the agreement yet… and the Qatari statement is rushed and not true,” the source told AFP in Gaza.

Wasn’t it 12 like a day or two ago?

That’s my understanding.

In an ap article of the 29th they say:

DETAILED ALLEGATIONS AGAINST UNRWA WORKERS
The Israeli document, which has been shared with U.S. officials and was obtained by The Associated Press, lists 12 people, their alleged roles in the attack, job descriptions and photos. The findings detailed in the document could not be independently confirmed.
The document said intelligence gathered showed that at least 190 UNRWA workers were Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives, without providing evidence.
It said of the 12 workers, nine were teachers and one a social worker. Seven of the employees were accused of crossing into Israel on Oct. 7. Of those, one was accused of taking part in a kidnapping, another of helping to take away a dead soldier and three others of participating in the attacks. (…)

The numbers mentioned in the posted article I first saw them on a wsg piece co-written by Carrie Keller-Lynn, a former political and legal correspondent for The Times of Israel which has some ties with the IDF, to be more precise the IDF spokesperson unit. (Relevant link from twitter).

[edit: I tried looking for her linkedin profile for more details, which appears in the results as: Carrie Keller-Lynn - The Wall Street Journal | LinkedIn but I get Profile Not Found - An exact match for caroline-keller-lynn could not be found. for now at least.

Academic performance is dictated by access to good educators which has always been dictated by wealth.

By gender and wealth. Not only wealth.

The way I see things meritocracy is a tricky notion. It implies that if you are dispossessed, it’s your fault and not a systemic failure.
Patriarchy is a systemic failure because categorises half the population as second class citizens, and that is the best case senario. Historically, more often than not, women have not been considered as citizens per se.

That’s a great question. Just to note that it is not talking about people, just men.

When I first got the news I thought something was strange.
Then I realized what that was: in this “war” / Genocide we have not been used to reading about dead soldiers, just civilians and children.
Scary stuff.

800+ Global Groups Back South Africa’s Genocide Case as ICJ Prepares for Hearing - 8 January 2024

An international peace coalition announced Monday that more than 800 civil society organizations from across the globe have endorsed its sign-on letter distributed to world governments, urging leaders to join South Africa in formally accusing Israel of genocidal violence at the United Nations’ highest judicial body.

In recent days, Turkey, Malaysia, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which represents 57 member-states, have all endorsed South Africa’s 84-page claim, which details genocidal rhetoric in public statements made by high-level Israeli officials as well as the Israeli military’s actions in Gaza.
