Looking through the comments on this NYT article on settler terrorism in the West Bank, it's pretty wild that so many of the reader top comments are some flavor of "the Palestinian are justified in striking back at these people". I couldn't imagine this even a few years ago.

במהלך כיבוש הבסיס המרכזי של כוח 17 בחמאס - שהניב מודיעין חשוב - ארגון הטרור שלח "חומה אנושית" לעבר הכוחות. בחטיבה הסגולה שלחו טירונים להלוויות של 13 הלוחמים, ואת חיילי האימון המתקדם הסמיכו בהליך בזק לעבות את הגדודים בעזה: "חייבים שעם ישראל יישאר חזק כדי שננצח". תקרית הנמ"ר: לא הופעלה מערכת "מעיל רוח

During the occupation of the central base of Force 17 in Hamas - which yielded important intelligence - the terrorist organization sent a "human wall" towards the forces. In the Purple Brigade, they sent recruits to the funerals of the 13 fighters, and the advanced training soldiers were authorized in a flash procedure to reinforce the battalions in Gaza: "We must have the people of Israel remain strong in order for us to win." The NMR incident: the "wind jacket" system was not activated

they shot a bunch of women and children in a funeral and said they were fighting them.

We can't trust the numbers of dead palestinians coming from hamas

archive.today • Opinion | A Gaza Pediatrician's Desperate Plea for Fuel for Hospitals - The New York Times

By Hussam Abu Safyia • Dr. Abu Safyia is a pediatrician at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

When the generators fall silent, we will be relegated to practicing medieval-level medicine. Without an urgent resupply of fuel, the lights will go out permanently, and our hospital could turn into a morgue.

[...]

Most of us have chosen to remain in northern Gaza, defying the evacuation orders because we’re unwilling to leave behind our patients, for many of whom evacuation would mean certain death. Abandoning them now would be a violation of my Hippocratic oath as well as basic human decency. My wife and six children have also stayed at the hospital with me since the violence began.

I’ve tried to convince them to head south, but my wife told me that we will either live or die together. Many Palestinians in north Gaza feel the same, risking their lives at home rather than face the prospect of becoming refugees in the south.

[...]

On Oct. 20, as I finished operating on a girl who had lost her leg, I stepped into the hallway and my wife was there to hug me. Our home, she told me, had been destroyed in an airstrike on an adjacent building while I was in surgery. The hospital is now our only home. At night, I go to my office and close the door to cry, away from the eyes of my patients and family.

Comments are off. The cowards.

His name spelled correctly is Hussam Abu Safiya. They spelled his name wrong. Twice. And the article is from yesterday. They'd know that and be forced to fix it in a timely manner if comments were on.

Israel stopped listening to Hamas radio traffic a year ago: Report

Israel’s signals intelligence agency, Unit 8200, stopped listening to traffic on Hamas fighters’ hand-held radios a year ago, according to a report by The New York Times.

The Israeli army stopped doing so because they believed it was a “waste of effort”, read the investigation which details the security failures over the past years that paved the way for the October 7 assault into southern Israel.

The report also said that US intelligence services had “largely stopped” collecting information on Hamas under the conviction that Israel was managing the group’s regional threat.

In light of the IDF launching its own official podcast, I've decided to launch my own IDF podcast. The "I Didn't Fart" podcast will feature a guest and myself farting for 30 minutes to an hour while denying responsibility for them while blaming hummus.

In my own relatively unimportant provincial city in northern Europe there has been several protests, you see banners and Palestinian flags hanging out of windows and on cars. Someone is drawing small Palestinian flags and gluing then to buses and mailboxes. The public displays of support for Palestine is driven largely by the Palestinian refugee communities you find everywhere in Europe. After all, it is their relatives who are being genocided by the zionists.

Meanwhile no normal people can be arsed to display support for the zionists. The only attempt I know of is some attention-seeking chud councillor who demanded that the zionist fish should be flown next to the Ukrainian one on city hall but AFAIK nothing came of it. Normal people who doesn't directly support Palestine take the "it's the Middle East, they're all killing eachother all the time" position which is as stupid and racist as it is lazy but at least it doesn't accept the premise of the precious zionist state who must be defended at all cost.

The only people who do support the genocide is the majority of politicians and similar professional opinion-havers. They are hardline zionists but they have no popular base for it. People here are as racist and exceptionalist as any westerners but even they can sense that the zionist position is one to be avoided.

Sick with Covid and consumed a bunch of content from 2016-2020 for some reason. Seeing them years later really shows how bizarre the Trump years were. Jussie Smollett, SNL, Maddow, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson being taken seriously, Colbert crying over Trump, etc. It's somehow worse than the media was during the Bush years.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War in 1919 to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. The day is also marked by war remembrances in several other non-Commonwealth countries.

In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

Israel-Palestine war: Israeli minister says nuking Gaza 'an option'

Published date: 5 November 2023 10:29 GMT

Israel's Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on Sunday that dropping a nuclear weapon on the Gaza Strip is "an option", according to Haaretz.

The minister made the comments in a radio interview during which he maintained that "there are no non-combatants in Gaza", adding that providing humanitarian aid to the Strip would constitute "a failure".

Eliyahu was then asked if, since there are no non-combatants in his view, a nuclear attack on the Gaza Strip is an option. "That's one way," he responded.

When asked about the fate of Palestinians, he said: "They can go to Ireland or deserts, the monsters in Gaza should find a solution by themselves."

He also said the Gaza Strip has no right to exist, adding that anyone waving a Palestinian or Hamas flag "shouldn't continue living on the face of the earth".

Biden stating that BDS shouldn't be allowed as it would be "letting Palestinians off the hook" is a great statement of intent.

How many thousand more children need to die before they're off the hook?

Israel bombed a refugee camp. At least a 100 dead. Despicable evil

If you protest war crimes you're a "heckler"?

At a campaign reception in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, a heckler who identified herself as a rabbi interrupted President Biden and demanded a cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group. “As a rabbi, I need you to call for a cease-fire right now,” the woman, who gave her name to reporters as Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, shouted. In response, Biden said he does believe there should be a “pause” in order to get more people out of Gaza. The woman was escorted out by security singing “cease-fire now.”

“cease-fire now.”

I wonder what song she was singing that to.

b from MoA absolutely cooking today after describing the attempted ethnic cleansing policy of the Biden White House, describing the genocide as “humanitarian corridor” and “a plan for safe passage to Egypt”

This is another failure of the dimwit policies cooked up by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and SecState Anthony Blinken as directed by their Zionist puppeteers.

I for one support all plans that would allow them to safely leave Washington DC. They can move to Antarctica or to wherever the climate is severe enough to cool their genocidal moods.

Like I'm not crazy in thinking that the zionist government in israel and it's useful idiots around the world are straight up lying and engaging in hyperbole to make the oct. 7th attacks sound juicer to end times evangelicals and genocidal jews to further the country's aims no? Also worth pointing out that the more the zionists lie the more emboldened antisemites around the world are going to become. We're a couple steps away from groypers rightfully pointing out that israel is lying, and therefore it means the holocaust was fake too, because Israel lies, ofc they're wrong, but you get what I mean.

From yesterday:

Latest news: This last night, an Israeli air strike bombed the Arab Orthodox Cultural and Social Center in Gaza, a brand new and state-of-the-art building that houses most of the Christian activities in Gaza, destroying the main auditorium.

There was talk of ww3 under his presidency. Not it actually happening like under Biden

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

A call from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to all the honorable people of our nation and the free people of the world:

In the face of the flowing blood in Gaza, words no longer work: Rise... Revolt... Storm the embassies of the aggressor nations... Burn them... Destroy them. Demand a halt to the flow of oil and gas to countries complicit in the aggression.

Time is of the essence, and history is unforgiving... Be assured that the people of Palestine will not let you down.

O free people, the fascist enemy seeks revenge on the Jabalia refugee camp, as well as the Nuseirat and Shati' camps, committing horrific massacres, which exceed in brutality what the Nazis did in their dark history, using six tons of destructive American bombs. A tragedy that appeals to human conscience; anyone who remains silent towards this killer is complicit in the genocide and depriving Palestinians of their humanity.

A morally, politically, and militarily defeated entity wants to claim victory over our Palestinian blood.

The Jabalia camp is the womb of the revolution and a symbol of Palestinian resilience and resistance, standing first in the battle of honor and duty, a spirit characterized by its strength, steadfastness, and high bravery. With its ground campaign, the enemy wants to cover its inevitable failure with massacres against Palestinian civilians, saluting the men of resistance in their various formations who are facing this aggression, and our steadfast people who reject displacement plans despite the genocidal war waged against them by the enemy.

Great Gaza, with the stature of its heroes and the blood of its children, is our roots deep in the ground. It will rise from the ashes.

Verbal stances don't shoot down planes or prevent missiles from falling on the heads of the innocent. Therefore, we call:

• To expel the ambassadors of aggression.
• A cry of anger and dignity to the entire the Arab street to stop the flow of oil and gas to countries complicit in the aggression.
• It is time to close the American military bases in the Arab countries.
• For the workers' unions in global ports to refuse to unload or load any weapon shipments from or to the zionist entity.

Let us trust in our people, our self, our dignity, our freedom, and our right to life.

Brazilian Landless Workers Send Two Tons of Food to Gaza

The Brazilian Air Force will transport the humanitarian aid cargo, which consists of corn and powdered milk.

On Monday, the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that it will send two tons of food to the Gaza Strip. Previously, this South American country sent a shipment of water purifiers and medicines that are already in Egypt.

The new shipment of humanitarian aid consists of corn and powdered milk donated by the Landless Movement (MST), a left-wing peasant organization that has historically expressed its solidarity with Palestine.

The cargo will be transported by a Brazilian Air Force plane to Egypt, on whose border with the Gaza Strip humanitarian aid sent by dozens of countries is concentrated and which enters the Palestinian territory in dribs and drabs.

Entry is through the Egyptian Rafah crossing to the Awja crossing, where loads are inspected before entering the Gaza Strip. These procedures occur despite the serious deterioration of the humanitarian and health situation in the Palestinian enclave.

Currently, some 30 Brazilians and thousands of citizens of other countries are trapped in the Palestinian territory waiting for an agreement to allow their departure to Egypt.

The offensive launched by the Israeli occupation forces, however, has prevented the formation of a humanitarian corridor that allows the departure of people from Gaza, a Palestinian territory that remains under incessant Israeli bombardment.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Lebanese militias attacked an Israeli occupation army position on the border with Lebanon. The operation did not generate casualties on any of the fighting sides.

I am pro-guerrilla tunnels. We should build them beneath every city, everywhere. All buildings should have a mandatory guerrilla tunnels requirement with a randomised number of entrances assigned to all of them depending on the size of the building.

Khaled Mashal, the former head of Hamas, said in an interview last week that China saw the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel as "dazzling" and claimed that Beijing is now considering launching a similar assault on Taiwan.

Yemen is in the war and doing what they can from their geographical position. The main problem I think t hey have is Saudi being in the way and they can't just put troops on ships because the US have deployed strike forces that would almost certainly attack if they knew that was occurring. Unless the US naval blocking assets are removed the only acts they'll be able to perform are missile strikes.

The #Yemeni Armed Forces: We are ready to do everything within our sacred duty to defend Palestine. If we were next to Palestine, we would go with hundreds of thousands of #Yemenis to fight with the #Palestinian people. We are ready for that, but we need a way to reach Palestine.

Reminder to the western leftists that we’re not supposed to be backseat driving the revolution.

French senators propose bill to make Zionism criticism a criminal offence

A group consisting of 16 French senators, most of them associated with the political party The Republicans (LR), introduced a bill, led by Senator Stéphane Le Rudulier, aimed at making anti-Zionism a criminal offense. Senator Le Rudulier argues that the rise in anti-Semitism is linked to hatred of Israel.

The proposed bill, which was submitted for a first reading in the Senate, includes penalties for various offenses related to anti-Zionism. It seeks to punish those who deny the existence of the State of Israel with one year of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 45,000. Those who insult the State of Israel would face two years imprisonment and a fine of EUR 75,000, and those who directly provoke hatred or violence against the State of Israel with five years of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 100,000.

“With 16 senators we demand the criminalization of anti-Zionism. The explosion of anti-Semitism is fueled by hatred of Israel, the false nose of hatred of Jews Anti-Zionism could expose its perpetrators to up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros,” Le Rudulier stated on X. Senator Le Rudulier has also called for the dissolution of La France Insoumise, as well as parties that have advocated terrorism and Hamas, which he says call for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews. In a letter addressed to Élisabeth Borne, the senator denounces the presence of what he calls a “fifth column of Palestinian terrorism in France” and calls for the dissolution of several political groups accused of advocating terrorism.

Some political commentators have said there has been an increase in the conflation of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Richard Wagman, the honorary president of the French Jewish Union for Peace (UJFP), has criticized the conflation, emphasizing that anti-Semitism is a form of racial discrimination and hatred, while Zionism and anti-Zionism are political ideas.

Kinda shocked tbh. Didn't expect him to dive so deep into federation lore, conclude that they won't escalate because "the hexagonal tankies are claiming for it", then shout-out beehaw

Incidentally, i was making fun of "nazism when killing jews", but it seems exactly what germans believe, jesus christ.

If people wear poppies to commemorate dead Brits then what flower should I wear to convey that I want more British soldiers to die?
