I can't say I'm terribly surprised that the IDF was so incredibly lazy with staging the Hospital Command Center, I expected a few more laptops or something but they really did just go in there and plant some guns next to an MRI machine and call it a day. Unlike the Iraq WMD thing though the Israel is clearly getting a much clearer global reputation has Hospital Bombers which is just such a weirdly evil national persona to adopt you have to wonder how western kayfabe is going to keep up. It might not be enough to get us to stop supporting Israel, but it may be enough to absolutely shred the reputation of the Biden admin harder and faster than Carter ate it. Like Ukraine I think this has the potential to slog on for quite a long time, and I imagine we can largely prop up Israel indefinitely on the money front, but I have hard time imagining that something won't eventually break the status quo of unlimited western support for such universally reviled actions.

That said I really don't have the faintest idea where that could come from before the next US election, because I think someone is going to have to eat real political poo poo for this before you see a collective move to walking back support for the Hospital Bombing Faction. Is there even any chance of some kind of boil over crisis in the UN that could meaningfully impact western support? From media control to the dollar hegemony it does not seem like there are a lot of real areas where the rest of the world could meaningfully pressure western support for Israel. Like I can't imagine anyone is going to sanction the US for this, so does that mean we're pretty much baked in for watching the entire western world make excuses until their next election cycles?

I was prepared for tunnels. I’ve been in lots of hospitals that have tunnels! even that wouldn’t be within a mile of damning.

in the original Weibo version bottom right was "India"

Realtalk, throwing out some sincerity for the GBS crowd: I'd say the anti-Israel pro-Ukraine vs. Anti-Israel Anti-Ukraine really comes down to the granularity of your moralism.

The former is first and foremost because both are brutal unecessary grinding wars that were imposed upon them by outside forces; invasion is horrific so the moral stance is to oppose the invader in both scenarios. Stop the death, stop the annexation. If Palestine was full-scale invading Israel, committing wide-scale atrocities, and Israel was on the backfoot, maybe many in this camp would support Israel (or would remain firm in their stance for a ceasefire)

The latter's morality is on a larger scale; Israel's in the wrong because they're an ethnosupremacy state, Ukraine isn't a state to cheer for because it's a corrupt couped state whos politics have been consumed by post-soviet fascism. The calculus is mainly in what the best long-term outcome would be. If Israel was an egalitarian and tolerant society, and Palestine an ethnosupremacy state that wants to kill all jews & destroy jewish artifacts, then some possibly would support Israel over Palestine even with the brutality involved.

It's the situation where Israel is both the aggressor and a horrifying society that allows some degree of strange synthesis here.

German police raid groups over alleged Hezbollah ties

The officers searched 54 properties in seven federal states during a crackdown on Hezbollah activities and related organisations, according to the Interior Ministry.

The Hamburg Islamic Centre and five affiliated groups were raided in Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Hesse, Berlin, Baden-Wuerttemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia.

No arrests were made during the raids, which were carried out to secure evidence on the suspicion that the groups support the activities of the Lebanese organisation.

Ukraine vs Russia is a question of which oligarchs you owe your fealty to. I think about a 1/3rd at least mildly prefer Russian oligarchs. They've been fighting for a decade over this.

Palestine vs Israel is a war of extermination by Nazis going on 70+ years. 0% of Palestinians want to be exterminated.

They really aren't similar at all.

Yeah if the nazis are obsessed over this why do they forget until after some dude is killed. Isn't it usually more of a problem to get your soldiers to stop jerking off? There's probably plenty of samples inside those Merkavas. You never know what they've been watching in their app tanks.

They do it for reservists killed in training accidents too, so they'd need to keep their entire adult male population's cum on ice indefinitely.

The Soviets would've defeated the Nazis eventually, but America defeating Japan was a good thing so there's your 1%. People vastly underestimate the level of psychotic murder and mayhem caused by the Japanese. They likely killed quite a bit more than the German Nazis (possibly as much as double) and were arguably more brutal. History tends to have fairly mild names for things so when conquering a city is almost universally referred to as a 'raping' you get the idea.

We should have more poo poo honoring Nimitz as he's one of our few non-baby killing war leaders.

And yet the Soviets still did more to defeat Japan in a fortnight than the US did in 4 years.
