12 allegedly worked with Hamas means stop all funding.

25000 children and women dead and alleged genocide rulled at the ICJ, I sleep.

At least now we know who is the fucked up.

Finland isn’t funding the IDF, either

boredtortoise@lemm.ee on 27 Jan 2024 21:45 collapse

Arms deals tho

Tja@programming.dev on 28 Jan 2024 19:54 collapse

That’s the opposite of funding, tho.

If you sell guns to someone who’s actively shooting up a school you’re not very innocent.

Isn’t trade just a method to gather funds? Israel gets money, they sell for profit

Tja@programming.dev on 28 Jan 2024 22:25 collapse

Israel is buying weapons, so it’s losing funds…

boredtortoise@lemm.ee on 29 Jan 2024 06:29 collapse

Hmm, Finland is buying the David’s Sling system. I’m not sure if there’s some back and forth trading where we sell some ATVs or something to Israel. Anyway the deals go, that support to Israel is a nasty thing to be involved with

No different than buying an iPhone from a country that is persecuting Uyghirs.

boredtortoise@lemm.ee on 31 Jan 2024 06:13 collapse

Good to avoid that as well

So this is becoming a list of nations Israel has wrapped around its finger?

Shame that they will stop supporting the UN but not Israel, very telling.

Syntha@sh.itjust.works on 28 Jan 2024 01:41 collapse

They’re not stopping support for the UN, they’re stopping payments UNRWA

So fast to react, not so fast with the Israeli war crimes. Thinking we were giving moral lessona to Putin not so far ago.

All countries have double standards, and as much as the west brags about its devotion to human rights, they regularly prove to be no exception.

teichflamme@lemm.ee on 28 Jan 2024 21:17 collapse

Still miles ahead of the rest

Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social on 28 Jan 2024 21:27 next collapse

Indeed.

IndustryStandard@lemmy.world on 28 Jan 2024 23:29 collapse

Miles ahead in civilian casualties?

Incredibly ignorant and uninformed take lmao

Do you think half the world just randomly hates specifically America for absolutely no reason?

Do you think the US is the entire west?

Do you think non western countries care more about casualties?

Your stupid meme just makes my point more stand out that you have all your knowledge from memes

Most of the west is doing just as much foreign intervention and colonialism as America. Especially Britain and France.

teichflamme@lemm.ee on 29 Jan 2024 14:34 collapse

You listed three countries, dude. Tell me what colonies they currently have?

What about the rest of the world? For example China or Russia? Why exactly do they have less colonies?

IndustryStandard@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 15:10 collapse

If you want a history of colonisation you can open Google.

You’re the one claiming the West is somehow far about those countries you mentioned.

South Africa seems to be leading the world in standing up for human rights without financial benefit right now.

If you don’t understand what the word tankie means you’re not qualified for any political discussion. You have proven my point.

Germany is the largest contributor. I suspect they will be next.

Don’t be a dick, Finland. (She says from a country that is providing arms and funding to Israel…🤦‍♀️).
