The masses are correct, of course.

It is not relevant that he is saying something true, it does not make him an ally to Palestinians, or even an opponent of Israel. The BRICS countries have nuclear arms, militaries, economic power. They allowed the genocide to happen and have as much complicity as every other country that did.

Actually Brazil is in contravention of the Genocide Conventions to which they are a signatory, which requires prevention and punishment of genocide, two duties they neglected - arguably they are worse than those countries (eg, Russia) which are not parties to the convention. Making a statement of opposition (ie, not a material opposition) after Gaza is rubble, tens of thousands dead, millions displaced, starving, and diseased, is sheepdogging.

lol this guy thinks the BRICS are some kind of poor man NATO and that Brazil has access to nukes or any means of doing "material opposition" to a country thousand of kms away, who has nukes themselves, and also the unconditional support of Europe and the american empire

What Lula did certainly ain't going to stop the genocide, but it's about what he can do and a lot more than most leaders in the world are doing, except for South Africa

We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold

it would be 20% annualized, so if the war had lasted an entire year. to date it’s only 5% since the war’s start which is still a decent number.

So why aren't the cuckbollah responding to Israel outright bombing in their sovereign lands? Are they just simply going to sit back and toss out few rockets here and there while Israel slow roll their bombing campaign further and further in their country?

And no, the rationale that they don't want to incur a land war with the US doesn't make sense. If they don't do anything, Israel is going to keep on bombing their citizens and cities, further and further north slowly but surely.

IDF chief in message to troops: ‘Unlike our enemy, we maintain our humanity’

quote:

In a missive to troops, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says the army is “not on a killing spree,” acting out of revenge nor carrying out genocide in the Gaza Strip, as the war against Hamas is well into its fifth month.

“We have been fighting for four months, and we still have a long way to go,” Halevi writes.

He says the fighting is “a long and just war. Every move is very important, every local achievement is part of achieving the goals of the war. Do it with determination and professionalism.”

“We act like human beings and, unlike our enemy, maintain our humanity. We must be careful not to use force where it is not required, to distinguish between a terrorist and those who are not, not to take anything that is not ours — a souvenir or weapons — and not to film revenge videos,” Halevi says.

“We are not on a killing spree, revenge, or genocide. We have come to win and defeat a cruel enemy, who deserves a bitter loss,” he says.

On the IDF’s probes of its failures in the lead-up to Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, Halevi says, “We will carry out the investigations with five leading values: truth, relevance, transparency, responsibility, and togetherness.”

a lot of the rifles the idf uses (especially in the reserves and in training) aren't M4s, but M16s that had their barrel shortened to the size of an M4 and their front grip replaced. those guns are old as gently caress.

In last-minute bill change, power to shutter foreign media handed to National Security Ministry

National Security Committee head MK Zvika Fogel has made a last-minute change to pending legislation allowing the government to censor foreign media, moving the authority needed to close a foreign channel from the purview of the Defense Ministry and cabinet to the National Security Ministry and Communications Ministry, along with the National Security Committee, Channel 12’s Daphna Liel reports on X, formerly Twitter.

The decision to move the oversight to the ministries headed by Communications Minister Shlomo Khari and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir will not be subject to judicial review, Liel reports, but it can be appealed by parties opposed to the change.

According to the report, the law allowing foreign media to be banned will not be limited to wartime alone.

The law was originally drafted to allow the communications minister to shutter foreign networks operating in Israel and confiscate their equipment if the defense minister identifies that their broadcasts pose “an actual harm to the state’s security.”

The law is expected to pave the way for Karhi to follow through on his threat to shut down Qatari news channel Al Jazeera, which he has said is working against Israel’s defense interests and fueling anti-Israel sentiment.

A temporary measure allowing the government to censor foreign media passed its first reading in the Knesset yesterday in a 25-4 vote.
