Well tbf this is a pretty shit piece.

First the author conflates that people like being in the EU with the idea that member states should integrate further in (as in cede power to) the EU. Starting off on a lie doesn't usually bode well for this kind of texts.

He claims that this offers opportunities to coordinate migration policies but when they do, it's wrong because he doesn't like the policy. He claims that they should stand strong in military defence against Russian aggression but when they do, he's against it because the moment the US suspended their aid they acted immediately instead of just waiting for checks notes the European Parliament agreeing on starting a unified EU-army.

This guy just reads like someone that wants the EU to become just like the US regarding centralization, but with his own policies instead of those inconveniently voted for by his fellow citizens.

Just so we´re clear: your entire argument hinges on the idea that Israelis didn´t have settlements in Gaza before?

[–] nonailsleft@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They had settlements there before, and now they want to build them back. It´s really weird to franctically want to avoid the word ´rebuild´ in this case

Do you think readers will completely ignore what they want to rebuild?

You can only interpret the wording the BBC is using in the way you propose if you believe settling in Gaza is a peaceful affair

No-one is reading that BBC article thinking the Gazans are peacefully evacuating their homes so their jewish friends can rebuild their settlement

Again, if you interpret Israelis settling in Gaza as ´peacefully´ taking something ´already theirs´ then that´s more of a you problem than a BBC problem

So "active in the movement to settle" is different from "settling" for you?

I think the problem is that your personal interpretation of ´settlement´ is more positive than what it means in reality

Note the use of "rebuild" ... BBC always framing it as if it was Israels land to begin with.

Which wording would you propose they use?

What media are you reading where Israel is halting their attacks
