re: the hospital strike, i found this to be a convincing video on it if there are people in your lives that need it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-nqRcDRTVs

quote:

- An "expert" from a US government and arms industry-funded think tank (ASPI) has been used to lend credibility to Israel's denial of striking the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza;
- the "open source" analysis attempted to estimate the number of people who could have fit into the area where there is visible fire damage;
- in reality, blasts from rockets, missiles, and artillery shells cause fragmentation and shrapnel traveling far beyond the blast and capable of causing lethal injuries;
- a hand grenade has a comparable death radius to that laid out in this analysis;
- a hand grenades casualty radius is even larger;
- a rocket or missile would have surely killed far more people in a much wider radius than claimed by this analysis;
- the density of civilians surrounding the hospital is also questioned in the analysis, however footage is easily obtainable from Gaza of similar densities specifically at hospitals;

North Korea's foreign ministry accused Israel of bombing a hospital in the Gaza Strip on Oct 17., saying it had openly committed a war crime "under the undisguised patronage of the United States".

In a statement carried on state-run news agency KCNA, a ministry spokesman also blamed the United States for "giving Israel a green light to massacre Palestinians without any worries" by supplying it with weapons and military support, including deploying aircraft carriers in the Middle East.

"This shows that the U.S. is an accomplice who connived at and fostered Israel's genocide," the spokesman said. The foreign ministry statement did not give any evidence to support its comments.

North Korean state media has often argued against Western views, especially those of the United States, on international issues. It also routinely lashes out at the United States.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has said 471 people were killed in a blast at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital earlier this month. Palestinians and Arab states said an Israeli air strike hit the hospital.

Israel said the blast was caused by a failed rocket launch by Hamas, a Palestinian militant Islamic Jihad group, which has denied responsibility.

A U.S. official said on Tuesday that U.S. intelligence officials have "high confidence" that the explosion was caused by a Palestinian rocket that broke up mid-flight, and not by Israel.

There is still uncertainty around the death toll from the hospital blast and the number of injuries, U.S. officials said.

The long-term strategic elements left in the US have got to feel like everything is starting to slip through their fingers.

The obligations of the US government to allies outstripping US military ability was discussed for years in the US military and intelligence, even in CENTCOM conferences. I'm trying to think of what sort of language would be used in a paper to discuss the topic, but it's not a new issue. The US military is incredibly expensive, but it has to police a world wide empire. There isn't a feasible way to meet that obligation, even without the excessive MIC grift.

I wonder what percent of American Jews support Israel's current actions. Orthodox Jews are pretty Zionist, but that's a small minority of Jews. Even in 2020, only 1/3 of Jews thought Israel was making any effort towards a peaceful solution with Palestine.

Pretty good and extensive Pew research on Jewish Americans in 2020. It's multiple chapters long with linkes to other chapters near the bottom of the first page.
