A bit sad this seems to get more attention than locals that survive gunfire and missile attacks dying of starvation - but i guess anything that gets eu to fucking do something already is a step in the right direction.

Thought I wouldn't hold my breath. But let's hope, something is definitely moving in that direction. 🤷‍♂️

I bet Germany is wondering why the heck are Israelis using German weapons against EU diplomats and not against Palestine civilian population.

Germany is about to pass a law declaring it antisemitic to be shot by the IDF. Those diplomats had it coming.

Being shot at by an occupying army does seem quite inconvenient

But is EU finally deeply concerned?

It's really weird how Israel keeps showing up here. I mean if you want to commit genocide don't alienate the people funding it it's not that hard. I do love seeing fascists being dumb so I'm not complaining, however.

I guess those 2 dumbfucks from the IDF will get totally ripped to pieces by their supervisors for being so stupid too piss away sympathies by shooting at diplomats

Rules

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)
