the perfidious moslem hides his soldiers behind civilians, so that we have to kill tons of them constantly when they leave their concentration camp land!!!! this tactic is so effective, we haven't actually killed any armed soldiers yet, but by god we're gonna keep trying!!!!

It's... not hard to feel like this. The Palestinians are doing exactly what they're supposed to, marching in the face of overwhelming force and dying. Yet people looking at this planned, like... loving incredibly brave thing, and going "oh, they planned this, they meant to die" and not going "gently caress, that means..." kinda erodes the whole idea of non-violent revolution. You can't appeal to the humanity of the other side if they have none.


Also david brooks has a column where he says he's a Whig with no understanding of why that's really goddamn funny

that's just "delegitimizing a protest 101"

literally the entire objective of protest against oppression is to force a confrontation with the oppressor, in order to force them to demonstrate their tactics repeatedly against a large, camera-gathering crowd

like, of course they planned a confrontation. that's what a protest is

Right, and obviously most of the people marching knew that there was a strong possibility that they would be killed during the protest (because that's what the IDF does). Broadly, David Brooks is correct to say that this protest was meant to be a globally publicized display. The thing that's idiotic and horrible is to say that it's the Palestinians who are in the wrong for making that statement, rather than the IDF soldiers who are also making a statement by murdering them. Whether it's saying that the Palestinian protestors are morons who were tricked or hypnotized by Hamas or saying that it's foolish to protest Israeli imperialism because obviously Israel doesn't want and doesn't need to make concessions, the goal is to discredit any kind of protest as violence, even if it's the protestors who are obviously the victims of that violence.

I wouldn't be surprised if the actual death toll ends up being considerably higher, since a portion of those thousands injured (I think 2000+?) are likely to die from their injuries becoming infected or whatever (which the terrible infrastructure situation doesn't help).

It is because they perceive Palestinians (and any other Muslim) as just some generic lunatic brown person hollering and raving, while they perceive Israelis through the lens of "smiling white-looking IDF soldier."

The real major difference is that they let a woman interview him, and because they fired all of their editors there was nobody to make sure her piece had a neutral voice.

:holymoley:

quote:

An extremely strange episode that has engulfed official Washington over the last two weeks came to a truly bizarre conclusion on Friday night. And it revolves around a long-time, highly sketchy CIA operative, Stefan Halper.

Four decades ago, Halper was responsible for a long-forgotten spying scandal involving the 1980 election, in which the Reagan campaign – using CIA officials managed by Halper, reportedly under the direction of former CIA Director and then-Vice-Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush – got caught running a spying operation from inside the Carter administration. The plot involved CIA operatives passing classified information about Carter’s foreign policy to Reagan campaign officials in order to ensure the Reagan campaign knew of any foreign policy decisions that Carter was considering.

...

Halper, through his CIA work, has extensive ties to the Bush family. Few remember that the CIA’s perceived meddling in the 1980 election – its open support for its former Director, George H.W. Bush to become President – was a somewhat serious political controversy. And Halper was in that middle of that, too.

In 1980, the Washington Post published an article reporting on the extremely unusual and quite aggressive involvement of the CIA in the 1980 presidential campaign. “Simply put, no presidential campaign in recent memory — perhaps ever — has attracted as much support from the intelligence community as the campaign of former CIA director Bush,” the article said.

...

So as it turns out, the informant used by the FBI in 2016 to gather information on the Trump campaign was not some previously unknown, top-secret asset whose exposure as an operative could jeopardize lives. Quite the contrary: his decades of work for the CIA – including his role in an obviously unethical if not criminal spying operation during the 1980 presidential campaign – is quite publicly known.

And now, as a result of some baffling choices by the nation’s largest news organizations as well as their anonymous sources inside the U.S. Government, Stefan Halper’s work for the FBI during the 2016 is also publicly known.

...

To begin with, the New York Times reported in December of last year that the FBI investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia began when George Papadopoulos drunkenly boasted to an Australian diplomat about Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton. It was the disclosure of this episode by the Australians that “led the F.B.I. to open an investigation in July 2016 into Russia’s attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of President Trump’s associates conspired,” the NYT claimed.

But it now seems clear that Halper’s attempts to gather information for the FBI began before that. “The professor’s interactions with Trump advisers began a few weeks before the opening of the investigation, when Page met the professor at the British symposium,” the Post reported. While it’s not rare for the FBI to gather information before formally opening an investigation, Halper’s earlier snooping does call into question the accuracy of the NYT’s claim that it was the drunken Papadopoulos ramblings that first prompted the FBI’s interest in these possible connections. And it suggests that CIA operatives, apparently working with at least some factions within the FBI, were trying to gather information about the Trump campaign earlier than had been previously reported.
