I don't know who Adam Sessler is (some kind of shock-jock guy?) but I think the bolded part of his rant reveals that the source of his brain-breakage is some fairly common Jewish-American anxiety around this whole situation: the insane right-wing Israeli government keeps doing unhinged poo poo, they're not going to stop and in fact they're only going to get worse, and like it or not they're bringing the entire Jewish diaspora along with them in that these actions are pretty visibly changing worldwide attitudes toward the Jewish people, as evidenced by some reactions it's pretty easy to find toward the deaths of some random people just kind of minding their own business living in an imperialist country like all of us do every day. It can be kind of scary if you let yourself get carried away.

His reaction, apparently, was to further rile everybody up and make it worse with an intentionally inflammatory viral tweet, try to destroy socialism, and, possibly, then move to Israel, none of which make any sense to me, but I guess if you make your living saying outrageous stuff that gets a reaction, this is an "everything looks like a nail" situation

He used to be a host on G4 when that was around. He got real pissy earlier this year because a clip of him making racist jokes about japanese videogames surfaced and his reaction was to complain about how he hates gamers because they'd always get mad at him when he called out japanese videogames for being hentai (???).

I had legitimately forgotten that G4 was ever a thing. Never watched a second of it

Anyway if your last moment in the limelight was a racism scandal it seems like kind of a dumb idea to purposely make this your next one but, again, I doubt he's thinking too straight about it. Rather than moving to Israel I hope he moves himself into a therapist's office

So what's the play here? Israel's leadership knew about the attack and allowed it so as to give them a reason to wipe out Palistinians? To take away pressure for corruption?

I really don't think they "let it happen"

It's far more likely that they simply looked upon the Palestinians with so much contempt that they didn't think the warning was worth anything

It is my assumption - though I'm not on the inside - that there would be data breaking through that could have been interpreted differently and certainly would be with hindsight," he said.

He added that complacency could have been compounded by an over-reliance on technological means to monitor Gaza, leading to a false sense of security.

quote:

According to the Financial Times, quoting two unnamed officials familiar with the matter, there was no hard intelligence of a specific attack.
On Wednesday, Mr Netanyahu described any suggestion that Israel had received a specific warning in advance of the deadly incursion as "totally fake news".

Kind of a mix I'd guess. They figured it would be an attack like all the others, a few rockets and poo poo, and as they've said in the past that's the price of having a concentration camp. After all those attacks have always been beneficial for them, why wouldn't they let it happen?

was it ITT or somewhere else where someone suggested that the new Huawei phone OS getting adopted in large numbers within Gaza might have been why the Mossad didn't stop the attack, because it hasn't been compromised yet and nothing was getting revealed via Android/iOS chatter

I'd like to know what Netanyahu's family did after he got the warning. If he quietly moved them to safe areas after, it'd be evidence that he did take it seriously.

I'm glad Adam Sessler is going to Israel. They would have never called him a "giant racist" for his old bits on X-Play. In fact, they would have found them hilarious!

Which, yeah, IIRC, neither of them had a good time behind the scenes, which probably comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody, given the way fuckin' nerds like to act around women.

If only he would lose to someone who wasn't comparably as awful. That would be even funnier; campaign on how better things just aren't possible and we're at the end of history, and then lose to someone who messages with "What if we made things NOT suck?"
