Lebanon, Israel, Hezbollah

Israel agrees to a ceasefire with Lebanon. But tthe Lebanese army had not fought Israel. Hezbollah has.

The numbers are from Fox News the only reliable media outlet in the USA 😎

Some wild comments on /politics receiving upvotes there. People rebuking them get their comments removed and/or banned for ‘trolling’.

When one visit that place they would think Donald Trump is the current president who is personally strangling every child in Gaza.

People are actively censoring and denying any responsibility from the Democrats regarding the genocide in Gaza.

People are utter the words “Kamala was not perfect” while she is an active participant in a genocide.

It is not “Israel can do nothing wrong because history”. Democrats are the main responsible party. Seemingly they can do no wrong because lesser evil.

Have you ever watched one of the dystopian Biden state department briefings? It is lie after lie after lie.

So apologizing and supporting war crimes is fine as long as it is not communism?

In that case the term Tankie could not be applied to China as the original meaning of the word Tankies could only apply to the Soviet Union.

What I have always understood to be the implication is “people justifying and usually denying war crimes from a government or group which aligns with their political ideology”.

Most often those people do not care about the war crimes. They think a government and/or government ideology is awesome and therefore will excuse any war crimes because it is for the greater good/lesser evil.

Try saying Joe Biden is committing genocide on lemmy.world and you will find a plethora of apologists.

Russia does bomb regularly bomb infrastructure such as energy plants. But Russia is not mass bombing schools, hospitals and refugee camps. Every time they do it it is front page news because 2 people died. Meanwhile Israel bombs a school killing 20 people every single day.

If Russia did what America and Israel are doing in Gaza, the front page of newspapers would be filled with sob stories and gore. And Hamas would be praised as brave resistance fighters against the modern Nazis.

That is true. What the west is doing in Palestine is worse.

Your definition conveniently exempted America and countries such as Germany or the UK.

And if someone supports the American government which is committing a genocide in Gaza right now?
