Isn't France about to recognise the Palestinian state? And isn't there a current crisis between France and Israel over what is happening with strong words from Macron to qualify what Israel is doing?

(Yes of course the AFP claims “editorial independence”, but is any news site “independent” when the funder has the power to cut the money if it says something the funder doesn’t like).

I think that when the funder is the State, laws make that a bit more difficult than when it's completely private. Although it doesn't completely solve that problem ofc.

It gets even funnier when you know the details of that history, especially how Israel directly funded and supported the rise of Hamas as the dominant faction to suppress the growing support of the PLO.

They literally created their own enemy and got all [shocked_pikachu.jpeg] when their whipping dog decided to finally bite back.

are you hamas sympathizer?? why are you using plestinin??? amalek babies forced israeli to attack provocally

Only because of de-industrialisation that began since the 1970s and 1980s without offering alternatives. There is a reason for the rhetoric that "the working class have been abandoned" exists.

This is why unions are absolutely crucial

fucking hell, when you put it like that....

As an American, it’s pretty fucking aggravating watching blue collar workers vote against their (and everyone else’s, save for rich people’s) interests in a statistically-significant fashion.

Yeah good on their leader to support them. There are unions though. The important thing here is they’re seemingly refusing collectively. Just a few people refusing probably wouldn’t be as successful.
