No. Israel scientists get free pizza at lunchtime. Would you like to contribute to the pizza fund?
what a bunch of assholes
The message is an important one to attend to. But not every post on Lemmy requires a reminder that gaza is a genocide or that people are enabling it.
There could be a feel good story about a kitten being saved from a well and you’d somehow tie it in to gaza.

I protest the malfeasance committed in my own country whether it be travesties of justice, bad policy, or corruption. In the above case, protests against the subjugation and violence against that woman in the name of religion should come primarily from Pakistani muslim men. The world takes a keen interest in such brazen acts with common news reports on acid attacks and maimings. You know who you never hear from on the subject though?: Muslim men.
Yet you’ll hear none of them condemn this action. There will be no new stories or articles. Nobody will protest. Which indicates tacit acceptance.
When religious fanaticism combines with ignorance this is how the men are. They carry iPhones but their morals and ethics haven’t changed in centuries. Pakistan remains a backward shithole.
Poor uncle Poots. Got his panties in a bunch.
It will somehow just be “the democrats fault” or those pesky brown invaders. And will fire up the base to vote in another shitclown.
