The Arab nations are a joke, pandering to whoever sells them weapons they don't know how to use (looking at you Gulf states). I'm writing this as a Lebanese who's sick of this non stop genocide. Strongly worded letters don't work, and now there's insanity in America, I can't see anything changes unless Europe somehow decide to sanction Israel on their own and hope other countries follow suit.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hrm yes, but have you considered: Money???? /s
Arab nations are absolutely depraved. I question myself because of how other arabs somehow like our leaders (who are just submissive puppets to other rich countries) but the gulf states are by far the worst. Absolute monarchies with the "Fuck you, i got mine" completely selling out their own people for money; they're complete shitholes.
But yeah: hopes and prayers to gaza, they'll use the money they made profiting off the genocide to wipe their crocodile tears.
I really, really hope something changes for the better in the future.
what will germany do? Call every human rights activist an anti-semite?
Or maybe bust in their doors in the middle of the night and arrest them?
The UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese had multiple panel events in Germany cancelled or kicked out of their locations by the pressure of the German government. She also reports threats of her being arrested made by the police against the event organizers.
Don't they already? Israel and the US sure do..
I hope not. For the first time in years, the discourse around Israel has shifted. Like, 2 weeks ago, Members of the CDU got grilled on their attitude towards Israel and its renewed attacks at prime time on national television. This is unprecedented. I really think there is a shift in public discourse on Gaza.
Obligatory fuck the Staatsräson.
What a coincidence. Right around the time of the PTB posts regarding feddit.org
I had to do a quick double-take to verify this post is not on the nazi instance.
You surely get easily fooled by hypocritical politicians.
I do not see the connection between "The discourse has changed" and "you get fooled by hypocritical politicians".
For the first time in ages, media outlets are openly questioning our stance on Israel. Talks of cutting off the weapons supply are fucking happening.
Sanction Spain ofc
I will keep my expectations low
Why don't the arab countries allow more refugees, it's wild to me when so many lives are being lost... who cares about the geopolitics, let's save some lives, it's so sad the Palestinian people have enemies on both sides of them.
Palestinians want to live in Palestine. They don't want to be refugees.
But even if they wanted to leave, they can't. Not because of the Arab Nations not taking them in (barring what the other commenter has mentioned of them being poor). Israel is controlling the borders and checkpoints and they do not let anyone leave.
Jordan for example already have 2 millions paleatinian refugees. Arab countries economies are weak and can't handle hundred thousands of refugees that will never be allowed to return to gaza after the war by Israel
