Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Upgrade the flotilla to an armada plz. Let's get some freedom of navigation exercises going.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Spain's not really who you want for sending armadas.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

greta has gone without a gundam for far too long, showing immense restraint

Are gundams as problematic as evangelions?

From what i seen it's half/half, most gundams are not more problematic than let's say jet fighters, just a weapons, but iirc there is some ubermensch/chosen one stuff there too.

I've only watched one and a half gundam series (witch from Mercury, and Turn A) so I don't think I've seen enough to make a proper assessment. That said, I would say yes and no?

spoiler for witch from mercury and evangelion

I'm guessing you've watched Evangelion but still putting the spoiler warning for people who may not have

The main protag's Suletta's gundam is a vessel for her dead sister in the same way that unit 1 in evangelion is Shinji's mum Yui, so they do explore themes about parental love, loss and devotion, but while gendo ikari is a detestable character for 90% of the series, Suletta's mum is a ruthless but largely charming character with similar motives to Gendo. They're quite interesting contrasts

isntrael

palestine-heart

Let's hope if the Zionists do try to attack, they hit Italy/Spain and trigger NATO Civil War. That's one Marvel movie I'd watch.

Israel could straight up sink this entire flotilla, Navy and all, and the world would do nothing

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Because the US and Israel are rogue states with nukes

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 48 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Obviously this is a good thing but why did it take nearly two years and 200k+ dead for them to finally lift a finger? They could have done this a long time ago.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

Popular pressure I think.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 45 points 2 months ago

ERE WE GO ERE WE GO lets-fucking-go

[–] Finger@hexbear.net 43 points 2 months ago

no more half measures walter

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

I have had this position and will maintain this position: any country that bombs israel will forever get my support. It may be critical support if they do fucked up shit, but they will forever have the benefit of the doubt in my eyes

[–] Tormato@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago

Like to think of this as a coupla countries making amends for fascist takeovers in their recent past.

Build up that Antifa fleet!

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is something finally fucking happening?

Or are these two boats just going to rock up and attack the flotilla themselves or some shit

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago

‘Actually, the Israelis were right, this is Hamas’

[–] roux@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Ok I'm starting to get a little optimistic but maybe it's just the Lexapro.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

You'll get further with humanitarian aid and a multinational navy escort than you will with just humanitatian aid

Please please please let there be some western countries regaining a soul. I like a lot of European aesthetics. Western redemption arc when?

Now we just need France, Roman reunion

[–] hellinkilla@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We have symbolic military action.... OK..... Let's not wait another 2 years for the next thing.

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Elite ball knowledge

[–] daniyeg@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

haven't read the statements so correct me if im wrong but it's most likely there to stop drone and small boat attacks and once the flotilla reaches near gaza they will cooperate with the IDF in order to extract their own citizen and leave the rest to rot.
