According to a report by Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth, which cited the Israeli foreign ministry on Sunday, Turkiye blocked Israel from taking part in an annual NATO military exercise focused on resilience, combat readiness and emergency preparedness.
Ankara reportedly did so by using its veto power – as a key member state in the military alliance – to attempt to exclude Tel Aviv, ensuring NATO does not unanimously accept Israeli participation in its exercises.
It only works as a joke when your audience knows you well enough to know it's meant as a joke without the /s. That does not apply to you when you post on Lemmy.
If you're your own audience, then you can keep the joker in your head. Posting it on Lemmy broadcasts it to everyone here and that makes all of us your audience.
True, but I'll not tailor myself to fit them. I get that not everyone is going to get me, but I'm not posting ridiculous shit with zero context at all hours for them.
There are zionists who genuinely think that anti-semitism = Anti-zionism, it's important to add the /s so people know you aren't one of those. The intonation of sarcasm can't be read unfortunately
Oh yeah, absolutely. That's the main reason I find it so important to distinguish the two, because Zionists will cynically defend any criticism of the Apartheid and Genocide of Palestine with the false notion that the criticism is antisemitic. Which comes at the expense of increasing genuine Antisemitism and Islamophobia globally, in order to muddy the water of completely valid criticism and opposition to the incredibly fascist actions of the Israeli State.
I agree, it's equivalent to someone saying a joke and then following up with "I'm just joking!" We know you are. Anyone with a sense of nuance picked up on that, by the words you chose to use.
Just like with the spoken word, sometimes jokes are in poor taste or fall flat, but the /s makes every joke fall flat.
That's the fun thing about the internet, you're free to disregard and ignore comments that don't appeal to you. Life is too short to take everything so seriously all the time. Which leads to the beauty of the reply button, it can lead to clarification, if you so desire.
They clearly have no respect for people and boundries. By this logic they should be fenced off and left alone to celebrate being chosen people (Cells would also work), before they do any more damage. These nazis have shown the world they can never be trusted with anything. Fuck isreal.
They should be the ones in the open air prison that was Gaza. Let orthodox be petty tyrants over the lesser jews, and we can all observe as jews force other jews into slavery.
