Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza-bound humanitarian aid ship rescued by Malta after drone attackEnglish2·11 days agoOK, thanks for the heads-up.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent saysEnglish2·1 month 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.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish11·2 months agoI should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.
But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.
Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish13·2 months agoMassive and sustained peaceful protests often do work, as they did against the US war in Vietnam. I can’t imagine how confronting local Zionists would do anything to help Palestine be free.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without PalestiniansEnglish12·3 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•'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without PalestiniansEnglish12·3 months agoYeah, he was so much better than Trump. /s
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•As Hopes Rise for Gaza Cease-Fire, Conditions There Have WorsenedEnglish1·5 months agoYes, they are a marketing technique, but I don’t know of any other legal way to share them. Please give me any ideas you may have. Thanks.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Deception and Betrayal: Inside the Final Days of the #Assad RegimeEnglish3·5 months agoArticle contains info from interviews and internal documents of government officials from various countries.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Human Rights Watch: Israel is guilty of extermination and acts of genocide in GazaEnglish242·5 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.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•The Amsterdam 'Pogrom' That Wasn't: Corporate Media Fails To Tell the Whole StoryEnglish2·6 months agoYes, you are right. For more in-depth coverage and analysis, take a look at the article in this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/22677649
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•'Horrific Reality': Nearly 70% of UN-Verified Gaza Deaths Are Women and ChildrenEnglish52·6 months agoHey Jordan, sorry for the delay, but I just saw your comment. I just checked NSFW so we should be good now. Thanks for the heads-up. I didn’t realize the photo was in NSFW territory but I will keep that in mind in the future. Thanks again.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Time is running out for Kamala Harris to break with Biden on the Gaza catastropheEnglish2·7 months agoYou should look at my post history a little harder. I have posted a lot on Palestine, and very few have centered on Harris. I consider the election choices very painful for anyone who wants to keep Trump out while not supporting an administration which is clearly collaborating in a genocide with Israel. Most likely I will hold my nose and vote for Harris, but I’m not sure yet. If I don’t, I would be voting for Jill Stein.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•[news] Holocaust survivor marks 80th birthday with protest outside Israeli prisonEnglish31·8 months agoI don’t get the point of what you are saying here. Cohen doesn’t get “it”? Democracy? What’s wrong with what she did and what she said?
I’m pretty sure that you can click by that and still read the full article.
