I didn't see this posted even though it was a couple of days ago: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68103641 Hundreds of Israeli protesters have blocked some humanitarian aid trucks from entering Gaza for a third day. On Wednesday, only 9 trucks went through while 114 were sent back. Traffic in the Rafah Crossing continues but this crossing is within Israel, though the trucks are coming from Egypt. This is one of the most disgusting things I've seen, since it is done by regular civilians. Ostensibly this is supposed to be in order to pressure Hamas to release the hostages but that's some serious mental gymnastics. I looked at some videos from the protest and most people there seem to be the Otzma Yehudit West Bank settler type. That this news item isn't making shock waves through Israeli media just shows that this mainstreamisation of fascism is proceeding in the classic way - let these people do it and afterwards shake your head and say you condemn these actions, while people grow more and more accepting of it.

I can't find a link, but what's very cool and good is Hulu has this commercial where it starts as a tourist ad for all the amazing things in Gaza, then cuts into the current devastation and says "That is what Gaza could have been, without Hamas". Very cool and good that you can be actively engaged in genocide and capitalism means that as long as you pay the toll, you can just casually stream your propaganda. I mean, it's really only different in scale, I suppose, compared to flagrant lies in political campaign ads; I just hoped there would be a bar to clear and "this advertiser is actively killing Innocents and bombing hospitals and schools" would be that bar.

Here's a tweet that mentions it: https://x.com/LumpyLouish/status/1751042267043762630?s=20 In other news, the UK, Australia, Italy and Canada have followed the US in the disgracefully cynical move to cease funding UNWRA in order to punish Palestinians for the ICJ adjudication. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68104203 The responses from the governments of the UK, the US and Canada to the ICJ have all been atrocious. They are expending enormous political capital to do this and they're laying waste to the world's safety as a result.

For that to happen there'd have to be people who think Palestinians are human beings and not literally a fictional orc race created to be easily poo poo on and dehumanized separately from the rest of humanity. Hulu even has more than one ad like that, we saw one starts out like it's an ad for that show Fauda or Homeland or something and is then like THE REAL MOVIE IS HERE and shows devastation and basically tries to act like if not for the IDF then YOUR children will die and Palestinians will destroy all of the Middle East and beyond. It works and makes people so loving scared and happy to accept that Palestinians all collectively are inhuman and deserve to be actively massacred, I loving hate it. We just immediately cancelled Hulu because holy gently caress we don't need this poo poo on a thing I spend money on to watch What We Do in the Shadows or whatever. gently caress Hulu. The vacation one is a very very long running propaganda thing, come to wonderful [settlement name now that we've taken it over] that's now beautiful and prosperous because we removed Plaestinians from it!

Are there any better sources than a tweet of a tiktok of a 3rd person recording of a television? I searched Google news, but there's no recent articles about this. The twitter account is claiming its "been taken down" with no proof. edit- I'd think at least Al Jazeera would be reporting on something this insane. ummel fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Jan 28, 2024 |

Let's see what a modicum of effort digs up: A.) It's not a new story: the Israeli government has been pushing anti-Gaza ads on a variety of platforms since October. B.) Is the Youtube account of the National Public Diplomacy Directorate at the Prime Minister's Office of Israel good enough for you? Now this doesn't prove that it was shown on Hulu. Perhaps some devious person on social media edited an existing Hasbara ad into what looks like a Hulu stream. Or we can take points A and B to reach a less convoluted conclusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJaxKQrHE6U Rebel Blob fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Jan 28, 2024 |

I hear Russia is also behind BLM, Hillary running a bad campaign, people being mad about inequality and rumors about Biden being a sex pest. Putin also shat in Jerry Nadler's pants that one time. Edit: To keep this a bit more relevant https://twitter.com/FranceskAlbs/status/1751554749659324847 The UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories thinks that defunding the UNRWA, as Biden has just done, may violate the Genocide Convention.

Apparently, Israeli intelligence has determined where Hamas got the weapons used in the 10/7 attacks: from the Israeli military itself, usually in the form of weaponized unexploded ordnance as well as theft from poorly-guarded bases. https://www.straitstimes.com/world/...keyword=dlvr.it quote:LONDON – Israeli military and intelligence officials have concluded that a significant number of weapons used by Hamas in the Oct 7 attacks and in the war in the Gaza Strip came from an unlikely source: the Israeli military itself. There's really no stopping this. Israel drops more bombs in any modern conflict, a bunch fail to detonate and end up being used by Hamas to fight back the Israelis. The IDF is such a loving Keystone Kops operation that has been relying on their reputation from the 1967 war, when their army is so poorly trained that they can't keep their loving armories from getting looted. And they want to kick the Palestinians into the Sinai, where they will just get even more access to black market arms. There is no military solution for Israel.

oh that arms sourcing stuff is VERY interesting. I can't think of another conflict I've heard of where one side's major supply of explosives was UXO, which admittedly doesn't mean there aren't any. Maybe those Indian communists loot landmines and shells or something. uxo salvaging is one of those jobs that requires a spectacular amount of balls, and I guess technically Hamas is reducing the net amount of uxo in Palestine with its exports

The fact so many countries have cancelled aid funding at this critical time, while the Israeli gov is taking part in a genocide conference. It feels like the ICJ investigation should be extended to them for supporting a genocide.

even accepting Israel's claim at face value wouldn't suggest that the entire org is compromised. at the same time, the only evidence they have put forth is phone calls and text messages, the exact kind of evidence they have blatantly falsified multiple times since 10/7.

Right, they first said they got the information from forced confessions. Then they manufacture some calls just like they have months past and make some fake dossier. I'm sure all very above board like the proof that the hospitals are actually command and control centers.

It feels like the 'intercepted' phone calls going "Yeah, this is Khamas Bob, we totally bombed those ambulances muahaha, unlike those stalwart IDF who never would!" were, like, 6 years ago instead of 3 months. Funny how that and the 'IDF would never attack an hospital. Or that one. Or that one.' lines were memory holed. Gotta make room for new narratives, I guess, and keep the sources credible.

It's been overshadowed by Gaza, but Israeli real estate developers and settlers have been encroaching into the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem for months now. There's been a land deal between the Armenian Patriarch Nourhan Manougian and Australian developer Danny Rothman and his company, Xana Gardens, to buy the Cow's Garden area of the Quarter for a hotel entertainment complex. The Armenian community, who have lived there for 1600 years, didn't take this lightly and protested against the deal and it took Jordan and the Palestinian Authority threat to revoke the recognition of the Patriarchate, which forced the Patriarch to relented in late October. Since then, Israeli settlers have been assaulting Armenians, tearing down fences, and attempt to bulldoze sections of the Quarter. Here's a thread I caught off Bluesky, with links to the news articles mentioned in the thread. https://www.newarab.com/investigations/israeli-firm-attack-jerusalems-armenians https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/11/24/we-wont-leave-armenians-in-jerusalem-push-back-against-armed-settlers https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-settlers-jerusalem-take-over-armenian-quarter-force https://www.newarab.com/investigations/ben-gvir-associate-settlers-intimidate-jerusalem-armenians https://www.newarab.com/analysis/how-secret-land-sales-threaten-jerusalems-armenian-quarter https://mondoweiss.net/2023/06/jerusalems-armenian-community-fears-erasure-after-controversial-land-deal/

They're very capable of clearing out, say, peace protesters with extreme violence. Genocidal settlers though? It's complicated.
