t3rmit3, in Palestine Children’s Relief Fund: Israel Is Threatening to Bomb Gaza’s Only Pediatric Cancer Unit --- [video, 33 min + transcript]

They’re literally going to destroy or damage all buildings large enough to house any significant number of people, and certainly all care centers, to try to force Palestinians to accept resettlement elsewhere, or to ensure they all die of lack of resources.

It’s illegal to attack hospitals, regardless of whether you “give them notice” of the attack or not. Fucking criminals.

bedrooms,

And US politicians call anti-Israel protesters antisemitic. Fucking hell.

If Israel keeps this shit up it’ll be an apt enough reference eventually.

Another Nakba? Israeli Intel Ministry Proposes Expelling Every Palestinian in Gaza to Egypt

A leaked document from Israel’s Intelligence Ministry dated less than one week after the October 7 Hamas attack proposes the permanent transfer of Gaza’s residents to Egypt. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the document’s authenticity but dismissed it as a mere “concept paper,” […]

Have you considered that those children might be Hamas?

zerfuffle, in German journalists detained by Israeli soldiers: 'Asked if we were Jewish at gunpoint'

Germans are Hamas too, obviously.

zerfuffle, in 3 children and woman killed in Israeli strike on car in south Lebanon

Have you considered that the journalist might have been Hamas?

Just like that Reuters journalist that was killed. Just like that Al Jazeera journalist that was killed.

Odd. A lot of journalists are being killed. Maybe they’re all Hamas?

I think this comment of yours is sarcastic but it is hard to tell.

zerfuffle,

I’m sort of sad that you even had any doubts lol

zerfuffle, in Over 1,500 Israelis Call for ICC action to Stop the Genocide in Gaza - Feddit

Those Israelis must all be Hamas.

zerfuffle, in Apple warns Armenians of state-sponsored hacking attempts with several cybersecurity experts warning that it is likely tied to Israeli spyware Pegasus

Israel really isn’t doing themselves any favours by partnering with Azerbaijan, which literally just did some good old fashioned ethnic cleansing.

zerfuffle, in Doctor at a Gaza hospital pleads for help: "We had to perform a premature delivery from a mother’s womb while she was dying.” --- [video, 2 min]

The baby could have been Hamas, though, so clearly it’s justified.

zerfuffle, in How international law applies to war, and why Hamas and Israel are both alleged to have broken it

International law doesn’t work too well when basically everyone ignores it.

Russia? Yep. The US? Yep. Ukraine? Yep. Israel? Yep. Palestine? Yep. China? Yep. Vietnam? Yep. Taiwan? Yep.

People are too attached to their profits and global trade to do anything.

zerfuffle, in UN condemns Israel: 'It’s the innocent civilians who are losing’

I guess the UNHRC is also Hamas, huh?

iHUNTcriminals, in Biden wants to ban ripoff "financial advisors"

Let’s work on getting rid of lobbying and electoral college. And not work on anything else until America’s government system is actually unfucked.

Anything less is the same horse and carrot show as it ever was.

Don’t settle.

shiveyarbles,

And fucking make Congress about representing the people, instead of self enrichment. Including stock trades on inside info

    There is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact that is close to succeeding.

    …wikipedia.org/…/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate…

    Kind of a workaround but with the same result

  • Vodulas,

    No doubt there will be a legal battle, but there are 6 states with pending votes, and those six would be enough to cross the 270 electoral vote threshold. The legal battle will hopefully bring it into greater public consciousness.

    It only needs approval from enough states to total 270 electoral votes among themselves to kick in, because those states will have pledged their electoral votes to the popular winner, even if the vote in any of those states favors another candidate. This is covered in the Wikipedia article linked above.

    I want all those things, but in reality, if anything will improve it will be in small incremental steps.

    No, it won’t. That is how change has been sold for the last 40 years, and people are not only being paid significantly less, housing is quickly becoming too scarce for everyone to obtain too.

    If meaningful change happens, it will because people revolted.

    meyotch,

    Pressure must be applied from many sources for real change to occur. Ballot power, media power, people power, any lever we can find. We should not fault others for passionately pursuing the changes they can make. This is a war with many fronts.

    Pressure must be applied from many sources for real change to occur.

    Yet without a real, existential threat, nothing meaningful is going to change. Hell, we just saw Roe go up in smoke while Democrats had the presidency AND Congress. Their response to this massive loss of liberty was to fundraise.

    Nothing is going to change this trajectory except the Marsha P. Johnson school of brick throwing.

    fwygon,

    To be fair; this ruling is a result of Trump packing the SCOTUS, not something Biden himself did.

    Not saying this wasn’t a Democratic party failing; they let Trump win in the first place during all that kerfuffle about Hillary.

    But I do think we have to consider the context.

    FlashMobOfOne, (edited )
    @FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org avatar

    To be fair: Democrats also did absolutely nothing to get their SCOTUS nominee confirmed when Obama was president, though since we saw them exploit the Roe leak to make a cool $80,000,000, we kinda know where their priorities were anyway.

    After four years of Trump, I’m not buying any excuses that the president is powerless.

    fwygon,

    yeah no, you’re missing the point.

    What Trump did was a gross abuse of power.

    MJBrune,

    How do you equate 80 million in donations so that or democracy is not eroded more to eroding that democracy itself? That’s some really silly logic if you ask me.

    iHUNTcriminals, in 5,500 women in Gaza set to give birth ‘in race against death’, UN official says

    What a wild title when taken out of context.

    jarfil,

    Does it really change with context?

    Palestine and Israel have been in a “demographic war” for quite some time:

    What you posted is in context…? I don’t understand what you mean. I mean out of context as in the absence of politics and nations… The world’s alone… With no context.

    Neat? There’s far bigger crooks you could go after though.

    baggins, in Suella Braverman accuses police of double standards on rallies
    @baggins@beehaw.org avatar

    She really is pushing her own agenda here isn’t she?

    There was a post here the other day suggesting she’s trying to get sacked. Have to agree.

    frog,

    Heard the same suggestion on a podcast recently as well, IIRC. And she’s got party leadership ambitions. At least if she gets it, the Tories will be unelectable for at least a decade. Nutella Suella is appealing to the far right, but absolutely abhorrent to anyone to the left of that. Even centre right people think she’s absolutely deranged and would rather have a Labour government than her.
