That goes for me too. Though that profile is additionally filled with red flags. Pvt. Parts posted:Why is that? Because he has some words you don't agree with in his X.com profile? Makes him less trustworthy? Yes. Exactly. "Anti-woke" is a buzz word that appropriates an African American English slogan about "staying woke" that is at the heart of a reactionary moral panic against racial justice. Self-described anti-woke movements have been pushing back against evidence based history curriculum across the country in favor of revisionist and downright racist replacements that try to spin slavery as less bad than it was and whitewash the crimes of founding fathers. "Stay woke" was a phrase that dates as far back to the 1930s. Zoeb fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Oct 18, 2023 |

The current violence goes back to the late 1910s to early 1920s then. The Jaffa Riots are one of the earliest big ones. There are two main movements leading up to this, the first being the British supporting Jewish migration under the Balfour Declaration (and an influx of Jewish nationalists) and the other being the rise of Arab ethnonationalist movements at the tail end of the Ottoman Empire (the Palestinian flag is a modification of the Flag of Arab Revolt against the Ottomans). Both sides started to push more strongly for their own brand of ethnonationalism and against multicultural unity. Pro-Israeli people are going to tend to focus on the Arab ethnonationalist elements (massacres of Jews, Palestinians being part of the surrounding nations attacking Israel, etc.). Pro-Palestinian people will focus on the Jewish ethnonationalist elements (literal terrorism, the Nakba, the ongoing apartheid). The more I learn about the conflict the less sure I am about anything so I'm not going to really suggest who's right or wrong.

One front for this war is the PR front, though one where we get to sit in comfortable chairs far away from the conflict. You have to make an allowance, when you walk in to a discussion like this that people are going to be very angry. They are going to have hair trigger tempers. The images we're seeing coming out of the conflict, the rhetoric, its heartbreaking. Israelis and many many more Palestinians have lost their lives. I would say that it is an unjust situation even before the conflict but from the point of view of a zionists, who I think are completely in the wrong, they think that the creator of the entire universe is commanding them to do these things and take control of this land and that controlling this land is keeping them from being on the receiving end of another holocaust which I imagine is a lot of pressure so their emotions are high too. Probably. I don't know. I do my best to have empathy for people and listen but I am not immune to being affected by the heartbreaking details of this conflict. Pvt. Parts posted:

On one hand it could be the state thats been leveling buildings in Gaza for a fortnight, the state who initially claimed responsibility for the attack, and claimed they warned about the attack in advance, on the other hand Hamas may have used a secret bomb more lethal than thousands of their rockets combined, that they saved for the special occasion of destroying their own hospital. Truly this is worth a lengthy discussion and isn't just an utterly pathetic derail. Like I understand that Israel could execute every man woman and child in Gaza with a bullet to the back of the head and the media would blame Hamas but literally claiming responsibility and then backtracking once it was obvious how much damage was done, and then the entire western media turning perfectly on a dime to parrot the new marching orders is just nauseating.

Should be pointed out that this is the only known video of the events that happened that is not (to my knowledge) disputed and there is 0 evidence that PIJ or anyone else was sending up rockets at the time of the bombing. The various videos of rockets going up are (as helpfully pointed out by Rakosi) time coded 40 minutes after the bombing is thought to have taken place.

Any bomb is more or less lethal depending on whether it lands on a large crowd of people or not. Unspent fuel enhancing the explosion is not a highly, highly unrealistic eventuality like you imply regarding the force of the explosion. This may not be the particular tweet you reference in regard to Israeli claims of responsibility, but it is one of the ones I have seen being spread around. This guy is a content creator who was drafted. He retracted his claims, and had no basis for making them in the first place. According to something I have heard on the UK radio today (LBC, James O'Brien) that I cannot confirm, there is a chance his wife posted the claims, or something? They are one of those very kooky social media/content creator/blogger/influencer couples. She also has her own twitter and posts strongly pro-IDF conflict content, because of course she does. https://twitter.com/HananyaNaftali/status/1711291414946914551 Useful Distraction posted:Now that a western reporter speaking to several experts has flat out claimed the IDF's supposed evidence is fake, does this at all change your assessment on the veracity of the Al Jazeera reporting attributing the attack to Israel? Not just yet, and this is because unlike being able to see the aftermath of an explosion with my eyes, or to look at footage, I do not speak Arabic and cannot intuitively tell if this assessment is true or not by relying on my own judgement or research like I can in the case of other more physical evidence. I do speak another language than English so I can imagine what unconvincing syntax, tone and accent would sound like but I wouldn't be able to convey that easily to someone who didn't also speak the language. They'd have to just trust me on that, as I would just have to trust an expert on the audio. There's enough information for me to feel it is highly unlikely to have been an IDF strike, or even to say there is proof that it wasn't, that I'd need a lot more proof in the other direction to move me, if I'm being honest. If I saw this being picked up way more broadly and a proper explanation of what exactly is wrong with the audio from these experts, I'd definitely weigh this a lot heavier and my disgust for the IDF would increase more, if it even can. Also, even if we did get absolute proof that the IDF did it it would not absolve Al Jazeera of reporting things that they could not have possibly been able to confirm at the time, they would just end up having been just lucky they were right this time. There have also been tweeted claims that the rocket launches just before the hospital explosion were pre announced by Hamas, but I have avoided posting this because I can't read Arabic and I'm not sure if the timestamps make sense, because the hospital was struck at around 19:20, but this could be similar to issues of software timezones shifting stuff by exactly an hour that has been talked about in reference to some of the video footage. It's also weird because Israel is accusing PIJ not Hamas, but, anyway, here you go, if you can read it. https://twitter.com/JordanSchachtel/status/1714350115312255019 Rakosi fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Oct 18, 2023 |

Two men threw molotov cocktails at a synagogue in Germany, my family is freaking out, of course the German far right is seizing on this as an opportunity to demand the country be cleansed of antisémites, by which they obviously actually mean the forced removal of any Muslim from the Middle East or North Africa. https://apnews.com/article/germany-berlin-synagogue-antisemitism-fdd10f32f7d5efc6da973f00c9a8b030 Everything that happens in Gaza is rippling out over the world, making it more dangerous to be Muslim, to be Arab, to be Jewish. And all these ripples have ripples, like the attack on the synagogue is going to empower the most dangerous anti-Muslim/anti-refugee parties in Europe like AfD. And the barbarism in Gaza is only getting worse as the Israeli state embraces every post-9/11 American insanity and more. What we are seeing is not just thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of lives ruined in weeks, we are watching the Israeli state and its backers plant the seeds for crimes and terrors for decades to come. Absolutely loving nauseating. Bibi Netanyahu should be remembered by history as the most calamitiously villainous and hubristically incompetent leader in Jewish society - at any level, secular or religious - in thousands of years.

My partner does a lot of work for Journal of Palestine Studies and it's infuriating seeing this same poo poo over and over again whether it's a person being assassinated, or kids being killed or this. Israel vehemently says 1,000% that the IDF didn't do it and had nothing to do it, then they suddenly have "proof" that Hamas did it, then it's Hamas did it but accidentally in a crossfire because they're so evil, then after awhile it will be that the IDF did it but accidentally in the chaos of the absolutely 100% work of the IDF the world's most humane army or whatever the marketing is that year so it's totally acceptable, then a few months later there'll be a quiet like "Oh yeah the IDF's investigation has found that they did actually do that 100% intentionally oh well"

mannerup posted:that is a wild claim to throw out that his wife did it, I would be suspect of any source that makes that particular speculation for multiple reasons This hearkens back to a simpler time on the internet, “wife-like typing detected,” a hoary fark.com meme based on a very similar explanation a poster gave himself when several of his posts were just straight up lies about some early oughts political debate. He just said “oh my wife loves my posts and she must’ve logged in as me to debate you too.” Just astonishing that we haven’t grasped that this rhetorical strategy contains enormous problems for your ongoing and retrospective credibility and dignity.
