I can almost see Labor winning by running a strong campaign around this point. Maybe I’m dreamin.

Waiting to accidentally fall out of a window of his Moscow apartment?

I posted something a few weeks ago or so where they made a similar request/protest, it just got lost in all the other news.

The 45 Democrats who joined Republicans in voting to sanction International Criminal Court officials as the court pursues justice against Israeli government leaders accused of war crimes.

One step closer to the AI spacecraft and habitats in Iain M. Bank’s Culture novels.

Wait until you hear about Floating nuclear power plants.

Yeah nah.

Everyone in the IDF: Too late.

“Victoria Police advised us that there was a high chance of an incident occurring during the championship due to the escalating anti-Israel sentiment in Melbourne.”

If this is true and the cops are back-peddling you’d want to hope that IHA kept the receipts because otherwise they are gonna get tossed under all the buses.

I fear we may have lost them. They have not commented or posted since shortly after posting the above comment.

lol

Thank you 🙏

And from the comments you have made twice now, again- this is my interpretation, you seem to be saying that there is no point in trying to resist from within.

I didn’t say this or infer it. I’m sorry but your interpretation is wrong. I agree with you, everyone who stays and wants to fight should do so. But I also don’t think this exodus will necessarily have a negative impact on any such struggle. It may even open up new spaces for new activists and organisers. We’ll see I guess.

Hold up, can we start over?

Just so you know I haven’t downvoted any of your comments.

I don’t think I have implied that anything isn’t a ‘big deal’ or that this is ‘100% positive’ or that I’m engaging in ‘black-and-white thinking’.

I did point out that Israeli settlers have been doing the things you suggest they do such as organising in opposition for decades without much success. This includes protests, campaigns, conscription and military refusal, opposition political parties and so on.

I do think if more people emigrate from Israel it will better and I linked to a piece by someone who renounced their citizenship that goes into detail about why this is the case. Perhaps if you disagree with this sentiment you could check this article out and let me know which parts you have issue with.

I don’t think I’ve taken anything you said out of context and I’d appreciate if you could pay me the same courtesy.

People will continue to organise opposition within Israel. I haven’t said or implied that anything isn’t a ‘big deal’ (perhaps you meant the other person who replied to you).

I’m not sure what you meant by this:

Again, I don’t blame anyone for leaving, I would do so myself. But I’m not going to act like that is going to be bad for Israel’s agenda in every way.

They have been doing these things for decades in Israel and things have only gotten worse. I think the more people that continue to leave and the more that can be discouraged from ever going there the better. One thing (among many) all these people can and should be encouraged to do is to renounce thier Israeli citizenship.

There’s a little bit here which also includes a link to more info on Omar Aziz. I think those sources are just the tip of the iceberg.

I like how ‘do more’ is in scare quotes.

I don’t appear to be able to drop as a moderator from my aussie.zone account. The option is not at the top of the sidebar in the community. I only see Delete, which I assume deletes the community.

I see the ‘Leave as mod’ option at the top of the sidebar from my lw alt account. The lw alt account is also unable to ‘Remove as mod’ my aussie.zone account. Perhaps I’m missing some obvious way to drop my az account as mod. Sorry for the fuss.

I think there is still some residual federation sync issues between az and lw. For example a post I made from my lw alt to the community is still not visible to my az account after five days (I expect it to be visible in a couple of days which was the length of the delay in the past before recent lemmy activity scheduling improvements). If it’s possible to promote the lw alt to community owner it might make administering the community more manageable should more folks start posting or commenting.

Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you. I made a lemmy.world alt and added it as an additional moderator.

I take it my aussie.zone account is the community owner (or admin) whereas my lemmy.world alt is a moderator only? If that is the case is it possible to switch them around please so my lemmy.world account is the community owner? That might be the best thing to avoid any technical issues.
