Israel only bombs terrorists, not civilians.

Your German nationality will now be revoked for thinking the wrong thought.

Unfortunate reality, but headline placement is quite OK.

Netanyahu and the right need more terrorists in order to justify further land grabs, so yes, that’s the goal.

Radicalize more people, so that those people strike back, then engage in war and take their land.

And yes, this is also how the Europeans and Americans took land from the natives during colonization.

I didn’t think I’d find a mercantilist in 2024, but here we are.

No, that’s not how it works, otherwise the US would be a poor country based on their massive trade deficit.

Trade takes place because it is mutually beneficial. Each parties gets something out of each trade.

Reducing trade therefore will always hurts both countries.

Exactly which loses more will depend on a lot of factors, but in general smaller economies are more dependent on larger economies.

Usually with these types of things, it tends to be worse for the smaller economy, but both suffer. (See Brexit, Sanctions on Russia, Iran and Venezuela, and also historically those on apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia).

Turkey has a GDP 2-3x that of Israel, so I don’t know why you’d think it would be worse for them.

You are correct.

I could swear that when I read the primary source yesterday, it said Bangladesh had zero sugar.

But going to the link, that’s no longer the case.

Either I was wrong or they corrected it.

Does anyone know why Bangladesh had zero added sugar?

Could it be that Bangladesh has stricter regulations?

A few days ago, a mildly critical comment of mine against Netanyahu was removed by the lemmy.world mods.

I said something like, both Netanyahu and Hamas want this war. Not too controversial, I would think.

It was in a thread on lemmy.ml

Anyway, I ditched my lemmy.world account and made this alt my main.

But yeah, the bots and propagandists have found lemmy, too. They seem to be focussing on the bigger instances.
