Yeah every sanction matters but has little effect when USA is still protecting israel when are americans gonna force trumps hand?

I mean what how will European sanctions matter if America pumps thrice as much money into Israel for example and keeps supporting israel and supporting far right politicians like Orban who veto EU sanctions on israel, and trump immediately tarrifs those countries…

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c202wp2rl09o
‘A change in government in Hungary ended months of delays to the EU’s plans for further sanctions, which had been blocked by the former right-wing Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban, a close ally of Israel.’

‘Israeli media have reported that the sanctioned individuals and organisations include Daniella Weiss, who is already sanctioned by the UK and is known as the “godmother” of the settler movement.
It is also reported that they include the organisations Nachala and Regavim, movements that promote settlements, as well as HaShomer Yosh and Amana, organisations that help to finance and assist unauthorised settlements known as outposts.
Meir Deutsch, the CEO of Regavim, and Avichai Suissa, the CEO of HaShomer Yosh, are also reportedly on the list. Suissa was sanctioned by the US in 2024, but removed from the sanctions list under Donald Trump.’

Yoooooo if Israel tortures and abuses European human rights activitists in broad daylight, imagine what they do in the dark to palestinians… Horrifying, and trump is protecting this from European sanctions? When is America gonna riot? We strike for way less in Europe tbh

That israeli minister Ben-Gvir posted the abuse on his own twitter account: https://xcancel.com/itamarbengvir/status/2057046925417824697#m

Abukeshek and Ávila have not yet been charged, but the human rights organization Adalah told Al Jazeera that the two are accused of “being members of a terrorist organization” and “having contact with foreign agents.” The human rights organization calls the legal proceedings illegal. According to them, there is no legal basis for convicting foreign nationals for acts or offenses that took place in international waters.

Abuse
Adalah also reports that Abukeshek and Ávila are being mistreated by Israel. Among other things, they were reportedly blindfolded and held in solitary confinement; Ávila was allegedly beaten so severely on two occasions that he lost consciousness.

The Dutchman Osman had previously stated that he was also mistreated when the Israeli army boarded the ships on Thursday. He sustained bruised ribs and injuries to his nose during that incident.

yeah so true… You already did mass protest, but not mass strikes tho… Your government just blatanly refuses to listen to you and you have a dumb enough president who thinks force is more important than diplomacy, but if yall wanna change something in gaza and israel then force trumps hand by mass strikes, aka cut their profits to make them listen… Also I keep forgetting politics in America is like far away for some people, like Brussels for Europeans etc. but yeah only americans can force trump and force netanyahu, even tho netanyahu doesnt even listen to trump sometimes, and even in israel itself the people are mass indoctrinated and manipulated, so they don’t protest or vote normal idk anymore man even tho israel and palestina all look more alike then they know themselves and could accomplish so much if they would embrace eachother tbh smh stupid religions

Can people in the USA make trump sanction israel by mass strikes that bring the economy to a standstill? Europe can’t arrest Netanyahu cause America is their dog, but in the end the people create profit for business so… when are y’all mass striking? aka just sitting at home and organizing strike funds for those in need?

Isn’t netanyahu convicted in the ICC? There’s an arrest warrant for him, and doesn’t america make does weapons?

Europe and Nato will show them the immense power of diplomacy by putting pressure on both America and Iran to stop this fight which is going too far. Pressure them maybe together with China and south Asia into coming to a solution. Even that Obama deal was better…

So Meta (and their allies) are actively pushing and lobbying (illegally, if you look at DCA that doesn’t even exist?) for laws that force operating systems to build a permanent age API thats full time accessible for apps?

Why not use a digital identity wallet like Europe : You can prove that you are 18+ without sharing your date of birth, name, or other information (via zero-knowledge proofs), it’s like a confirmation paper from a bank or another institution without any actual information about yourself. Plus there’s parental consent to children’s accounts (as COPPA in the U.S. already does), or like by doing verification locally or through open-source systems, not through commercial companies with a central Database.

They knowingly ignore better, more privacy friendly alternatives to age verification because by forcing operating systems to implement a permanent age API, they create a system that burdens competitors like Apple and Google and Free and Open Source software who sometimes cant even abide to those rules, all-the-while meta’s own platforms are often excluded. Apparently this fits into a broader strategy to normalize surveillance and increase dependence on commercial verification companies, which Meta indirectly benefits from.

I dont really see this changing, I expect meta getting away with everything and getting worse cause look at the inauguration. But musk also got booted so who knows. But in the end America usually doesnt care about customer rights, privacy rights, or childrens rights ig.

Im awaiting the results of the latest lawsuit where zuckerberg had to testify about accusations that social media, including Instagram, harm children’s mental health. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/19/tech/takeaways-mark-zuckerberg-testifiessocial-media-child-mental-health
