Netanyahu got caught in a leaked recording blasting Qatar and calling them "as troublesome as the U.N. and red cross" which is definitely a statement someone who is totally not the bad guy nazi in all this would say

Secretary General of the Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, a faction that operates under the umbrella of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, Abu Alaa al-Walai tweeted this out

https://twitter.com/aboalaa_alwalae/status/1749918306973143402

quote:

في الوقت الذي يعاود فيه الاحتلال الامريكي المجرم استهدافه السافر لقواتنا الامنية وحشدنا المقدس في عدد من مناطق العراق، فإننا نشد على يد مجاهدي المقاومة الاسلامية في العراق شروعهم بالمرحلة الثانية من عملياتهم المباركة المتضمنة إطباق الحصار على الملاحة البحرية الصهيونية في البحر الابيض المتوسط، وإخراج موانيء الكيان الغاصب عن الخدمة، واستمرار ذلك حتى فك الحصار الظالم عن غزة، وايقاف المجازر الصهيونية المروعة بحق اهلها.

Translated from Arabic

At a time when the criminal American occupation is again blatantly targeting our security forces and our sacred crowd in a number of areas of Iraq, we urge the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq to begin the second phase of their blessed operations, which includes enforcing the blockade on Zionist maritime navigation in the Mediterranean Sea, and removing the entity’s ports. The usurper is out of service, and this will continue until the unjust siege on Gaza is lifted, and the horrific Zionist massacres against its people are stopped

It's about 500km from western Iraq to Ashdod, the furthest port on the Med, so this seems eminently doable. I wonder what Iron Dome stockpiles are looking like?

Okay so what I want to know is what are the Arabic words that keep being translated for Israel?
'the usurper' = ?
'the zionist entity' = ?

edit: and why is 'zionist' الصهيونية
sahiyoniyya? y'all have a Z sound, you know..


edit 2: and I just really like that all these government entities/institutions simply refer to them as 'the zionist entity'.

it's fine that they have ~40% of the world's ship building capacity with another ~40% of the world's ship building within ballistic missile range, the US could definitely project their power to support their proxies there

"Will Israel make a survival-horror video game about October 7 massacre?"


https://m.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-783324

quote:

A survival horror video game could be an effective way of conveying the horrors experienced by Israelis during Hamas's October 7 massacre to campuses across the US, senior hasbara (public diplomacy) figures said Tuesday.

The concept was proposed at the HASBARA NOW conference at the Holon Institute of Technology's (HIT) FUTURE HIT innovation and entrepreneurship center. The goal of the conference was to develop new and creative solutions to overcome the challenges Israeli hasbara often faces on US campuses.

The survival horror game is only an idea at this time. However, according to what was presented at the conference, it would see players put themselves in the shoes of partygoers at the Nova music festival in Re'im. The players would have to escape from Hamas terrorists as they storm the music festival, where one of the worst atrocities of the October 7 massacre would take place.

In real life, over 360 people were murdered at the party, and dozens of others were kidnapped by Hamas and taken back to Gaza as hostages.

"The idea is an explanatory tool, whose purpose is to evoke feelings of identification with the victims," an HIT spokesperson said, adding that it is currently "just an idea."

"One of our biggest challenges is reaching the younger generation and getting them emotionally involved with our side, to make them want to know more," senior hasbara figure Ilana Stein said in a statement. "The human story creates curiosity in them."

Video games about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

This is not the first time video games have been proposed or even made about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with several games having been made over the years reflecting both sides of the conflict in a variety of genres.

One of the most recent and most infamous is Fursan al-Aqsa, an anti-Israel shooter made by Nidal Nijm, a Brazilian resident of Palestinian origin whose father was a former Palestinian Fatah fighter.

The game is very story-driven and follows a Palestinian man joining a new resistance group where he fights and kills IDF soldiers.

Nijm refers to his game as the "most BASED" indie video game of all time, though it has been met with controversy.

The game is available on Steam and despite its controversial content, it has been met with very positive reviews and has full subtitles and interface in English and Hebrew.

that sounds about right, considering how bad media literacy is. they just see 'israel' and 'genocide' mentioned together and start to associate the two without knowing anything else about the situation, including who is being genocided or why. it's the same thing as those videos about the congo where 6 million children are being worked to death in mines for your iphones. why? by who? don't know, but somebody should do something about it
