I was referring to Hezbollah firing at radar towers and the like, increasing the chances of stuff like this happening instead of Israel spotting drones/rockets and intercepting them.

The eyes being poked out were the radar stations on the border that Hezbollah has been systematically targeting for months. Presumably that's why drones have been getting through undetected.

They make excuses. Their job is also to make excuses so they should be good at it. If you can be made to feel bad, you are unfit for the job.

The excuses of the liberal white supremacists who run the empire all basically boil down to the same poo poo you can read on Reddit or whatever, they've just programmed themselves to believe in whatever they're supposed to believe in.

Genocide doesn't really mean anything to them because it's advantageous to not think about it outside of the rhetoric they regurgitate to justify it. What's happening in Gaza now isn't super different from a lot of other American imperialist activity over the last 80 years and none of that stuff stopped them from getting on board with it after all.

It's hard to participate or care about a system that produces the type of people who hear the desperate pleas of a people being ethnically cleansed and genocided and just. Not. Give. A. gently caress. Something about a system like that is rotten to its loving core.

States are inherently instruments of oppression, the targeted violence against a smattering of activists and protestors is nothing new, certainly it's much less than was done to the actual black revolutionaries in the 60s. The real violence awaiting the residents of the imperial core after the collapse of American imperialism will make such things look like a gentle kiss on the forehead, I expect.

Considering the extent to which the Western "left" has willfully disarmed itself, I expect there will be very little meaningful resistance.

I read that a large and disproportionate fraction of the people arrested for antisemitism related charges in Germany since this started have been Jewish anti-Zionist protestors. I'll try to find it.

This is not the one I was thinking of but it talks about the situation there

And of course it predates October 7 because Germany was never denazified, they simply changed their targets

They have the same target as before. The creation of Israel is basically successful implementation of the madagascar plan, ship all the jews somewhere else. Hell, its now OK (even encouraged) to say Jews have a double loyalty and are all israel sympathizers.

this is often the case. jewish anti-zionists tend to feel that they cannot be reasonably prosecuted for being anti-semitic, because they themselves are jewish and are comfortable that they're not self-hating. in this, they are correct. their error is assuming that such prosecution has to be reasonable.

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.

Glubb, Faris Yahya: Zionist relations with Nazi Germany

Available for free here

quote:

Despite the appearance of large numbers of books on Nazi Germany's barbaric treatment of European Jews, there is widespread public ignorance on one important aspect of this question: the relationship between the Zionist movement and Nazi Germany. The information on this subject is available, but has not yet been gathered together in a single comprehensive study. This study is intended, at least partially, to remedy this deficiency.

Owing to the delicate nature of this subject, and the Zionist tendency to brand any non-Zionist or anti-Zionist viewpoint as "anti-Semitic", all he material on Zionist-Nazi relations in this study is taken from exclusively Jewish sources. The writers quoted cover a wide spectrum of views, from extreme Zionist to anti-Zionist, with various shades in between. The reader will thus be able to form an accurate and objective opinion on the basis of evidence presented by leading Jewish historians.

Speaking of center mass, remember when they said it was a war crime to shoot a female soldier in the chest or pelvis?

Because the only reason to do that is gender based hate crime and not because they are an active combatant.
