Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•In an Attack at Sunset, Israelis Set a Palestinian Village AblazeEnglish18·11 days agoA Palestinian friend who lived in my neighborhood in the US is there now, in his family’s home. He said it was like 3 nights in a war zone.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto politics @lemmy.world•Fear and Quiet Resistance Amid a Los Angeles in Turmoil1·19 days agoYes, sorry, I fixed both of them.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Fear and Quiet Resistance Amid a Los Angeles in Turmoil1·19 days agoThanks for letting me know. The main URL somehow lost a period between www and nytimes. Don’t know what happened to the archive, but I just re-created it. Should be good now. :-)
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.3·1 month agoFoolish votes maybe, but not fools, if they are showing solidarity with their neighbor and coworker who happens to be undocumented. This is progress, and they will be further awakened when Trump attacks Medicaid and Medicare.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Australian PM Albanese says Israel’s blockade of aid into Gaza is ‘an outrage’English2·1 month agoThe hashtags were added in Mastodon and I forgot to remove them in Lemmy, sorry.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.1·1 month agoI think that you’re missing the point here. People who had some vision of ICE taking out violent criminals now see something different and they they are taking a stand against it. And it’s not happening to them, but to a single Chinese worker who they all love. That’s solidarity, even if they may not call it such. Something similar happened in NY state in the town of the border czar.
These events give me hope for the future. There is no point at all in finger-wagging at Trump voters. When the tariffs and Medicaid cuts come down, we will see many more people’s consciousness change.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent saysEnglish2·3 months agoMost of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlBanned from communityOPto News@lemmy.world•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish83·4 months agoRight here. Biden’s policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without PalestiniansEnglish12·5 months agoMany opposed Harris because she continued very active support to the Israeli genocide. Very few believed Trump would be better.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Human Rights Watch: Israel is guilty of extermination and acts of genocide in GazaEnglish242·7 months agoYes, and it is very positive that prominent human rights groups agree and document it. These reports can be used to pressure governments, universities, etc. to divest from Israel and to stop sending arms, software, etc. to Israel.
Its there at the bottom.
