Israel Kills Children and Women as Preferred Victims: Lula

So far, Israeli forces have killed 11,180 Gazans, including 4,609 children and 3,100 women.

On Monday, Brazilian President Lula da Silva accused the Israeli government of killing innocent civilians "without any criteria" in the Gaza Strip.

While Lula condemned the actions that Hamas took against Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, he emphasized that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response has been "just as serious" given that the Israeli bombings have left over 11,100 Palestinians killed so far.

"I had never heard of news about children as preferential victims of a war. They throw bombs where there are children and where there are hospitals with the pretext that a terrorist is there," Lula said as Israel is militarily surrounding one of the main medical centers in Gaza.

In the fifth week of Israeli attacks on Gaza, the Palestinian health authorities updated the death toll to 11,180 people, including 4,609 children and 3,100 women.

Previously, UN agencies reported that 1.5 million Gazans have been forced to abandon their homes since October 7, when the Israeli forces began their offensive against the Palestinians.

On Sunday, 32 Brazilians and their families were able to leave Gaza on a military plane heading to Cairo. This happened after weeks of negotiations with Egypt and Israel, Lula confirmed, adding that the evacuation was achieved with "a lot of sacrifice."

The Brazilian president will receive his compatriots on Monday night in Brazilia, where the evacuees will receive psychological and medical support.

Lula promised to repatriate all those Brazilians who wish to voluntarily leave Israel and Palestine. Since Oct. 7, his administration has achieved the repatriation of 1,477 people.

IDF claims to have found an AK-47 behind an MRI scanner

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/11/15/israel-gaza-latest-news-updates-hamas-palestine-day-40-live/

I don't know about you, but anywhere remotely in the vicinity of an MRI scanner is the absolute last place I would put a gun. Those things can rip earrings off your head.

Did some searching and found an instance of a cop who didn't take an MRI seriously:

https://www.ajronline.org/doi/full/10.2214/ajr.178.5.1781092

Once the officer was inside the MR suite, the gun was pulled from his hand as he attempted to place the gun on top of a cabinet 3 ft (0.9 m) away from the magnet bore. The gun was immediately pulled into the bore, where it struck the left side and spontaneously discharged a round into the wall of the room at the rear of the magnet. Fortunately, no one was injured. Although the gun struck the magnet bore, only minimal cosmetic damage occurred to the magnet itself. The MR unit had full functional capability immediately after the gun discharged. The weapon's thumb safety was reportedly engaged when the gun discharged.

The governor of New York is increasing surveillance efforts in response to the increasing support of Palestinians on social media. Their definitions of what they count as hate speech include saying Israel is an apartheid state and holding them to standards that "aren't expected of other democratic nations."

Americans will support this and then talk about how oppressive Cuba is.

Isn't accusing the Israeli state of letting this happen a form of anti-semitism?

Turkish President Erdogan in Berlin:

We will take steps to ensure that the Israeli political and military leaders who brutally murdered the oppressed people of Gaza are brought before international courts.

I like y'all and your geopolitical analysis. But I'm going to stick with my own theory: The october 7th attack was triggered by the israeli intelligence so that their Tactical Cum Extraction Unit could extract as much cum as physically possible.

Palestine Action fucking up shit in Edinburgh and Southampton:

Why tf Israel has spermjacking crew and they proudly display it on social media?? Like genuinely taking sperms from dead soldiers seems to be a cartoonishly evil plot from fictional empires like 40k and Noxus from Arcane lore.

US emissions are significantly underreported due to the rapid expansion of natural gas. Accounting for this leakage (fugitive emissions) could mean that US emissions are actually increasing YoY.

A study into American emissions from the natural gas industry. US natural gas consumption is rising at a terrifying rate to offset coal, but the environmental benefits of natural gas over coal are less tangible. Methane gas (CH4) is incredibly easy to leak and incredibly hard to deal with. In terms of CO2e, it is about 85x as potent over a 20-year period and 30x as potent over a 100-year period. Combustion of natural gas itself is estimated to release half the GHG of coal. So, what does that mean? Over a 20-year period, a leakage rate of 1.2% would put natural gas at GHG parity to coal. Over a 100-year period, that leakage rate goes up to about 3.3%. This is challenging because methane leaks everywhere: at extraction, during transportation, during processing, and at home... there is estimated to be a methane leak every 2 kilometers of pipeline.

So, how much methane leaks? The real answer is that we simply don't know. Previous EPA estimates vary widely, but it's widely accepted that we are undercounting it. Today, the EPA estimates leakage makes up 1.4% of total natural gas production. Researchers at Stanford estimate it to be about 9% over the Permian Basin. Researchers from Duke estimate that aggregate methane emissions from natural gas are 70% higher than EPA estimates. NOAA puts estimates of methane leakage over cities to be more than twice the EPA estimates. The Environmental Defense Fund estimates US methane leakage to be around 2.3%. The Atmospheric Fund estimates Canadian methane leakage to be around 2.7%. In fact, even the Congressional Research Service acknowledges that "the life-cycle GHG emissions of both existing and advanced natural-gas-fired technology may be comparable to coal-fired technology in the short term and could remain within range of coal-fired technology for several decades after emissions."

These numbers are terrifying. Over a 20-year period, we are absolutely fucked. Even using EPA numbers, the additional natural gas we burn today will have a greater impact on our climate in 2045 than if we had burned coal. So, let's take a look at

Figure 1: US energy production numbers

Total fossil fuel consumption is increasing. Coal is being replaced with natural gas, but total fossil fuel consumption is by no means contracting. Let's compare that with what the EPA reports for

Figure 2: US GHG emissions by sector

The EPA claims most GHG emissions reductions to be due to the electric power industry, which is reliant on switching from coal to natural gas. This is the key claim that the US uses to justify their aggregate GHGe reduction... but over what time frame? Over twenty years, we're at parity with coal even under the most optimistic estimates. Over a hundred years, we're at parity with coal under the leakage rate reported by most academic studies. Where is this GHGe reduction coming from and what time frame is it over? ****

that post-funeral ceremony where they give the grieving IOF widow the flag that was draped on her husband's coffin, but instead it's a vial of cum

has anybody told trump about the Cum-Rescue Crew? he's gotta have some words for loser sperm come on

I dream of a future where the opinions of "Westerners," Americans, Europeans (and Gusanos of course) etc. are given no weight and are treated on the same level as that of a 5-year old. actually, a 5-year old's opinion should hold more weight. I dream of a future where everyone can only treat a Westerner's opinion with pity and contempt.

According to western media outlets, killing children is fine so long as you didn’t intentionally try to kill them (even if every action you took would knowingly lead to many child deaths).

China is OKing pandas again, but maybe only for California?

Newsom is dragging Biden away from a complete deterioration of relations lmao.

It is raining in Gaza, which is some pretty good news

In other good news, it looks like today is another day of Israeli troops and tanks getting triangled

Memri TV actually backfired because the memes are too good

the blinken from the us/china meeting in anchorage a year or two ago and today's blinken are like completely different people

probably because hexbear self selects for hilarious blinken pics but for some reason he's always somewhere in the vicinity of biden with an expression like he just tanked an entire city of mind flayers on his face lmfao

I had so much free time from being sick with Covid that I got constant reports for harassment and bullying from Vaushites on Reddit. Never posted so much before in my life.

EZLN unveils its new structure in communiqué

After announcing the disappearance of the Good Government Councils (JBG) and the Zapatista Rebel Autonomous Municipalities (MAREZ), this Sunday, November 12, the EZLN announced the structural reorganization of the Zapatista Autonomy.

Up the escalation ladder we continue to climb:

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for more than 11 attacks on IOF positions along the border using both missiles & suicide drones.

This is by far the heaviest or at least the busiest attack since the beginning of the war.

Just in case anyone was under the impression that Suella Braverman was fired by Rishi Sunak because of her diabolical stance against immigrant boats and homeless people, it's actually because she criticized the police. No, this is not a bit. The Special Bodies of Armed Men must not be criticized, lest the whole system of capital collapses.

I've heard stories about Yiddish speakers being persecuted in Israel to some extent, are there any resources on this? Are there similar cases of unique diaspora cultures being repressed in pursuit of "Israeli" identity?

SA disaster relief group Gift of the Givers says its regional head in Gaza, Ahmed Abbasi, has been killed as Israel continues its bombing of the Gaza Strip in retaliation for an attack by Hamas on October 7.

Abbasi died at the hands of Israeli forces in Gaza while returning from morning prayer on Thursday with his brother, who was also killed, the organisation said.

Honestly has me feeling a bit sick, gift of the givers is one of the best charities out there, they help anyone no matter what.

Break: Ehud Olmert tells me Hamas command center is in Khan Younis - not #Shifa hospital. “Khan Younis, which is in the southern part of Gaza Strip, is the real headquarters of Hamas.”

Xi Jinping flamed the Chinese football team

Dude's actually hilarious

Where did he get this charisma

New movie idea idea: its like black hawk down but about cum extractor operators

We found a rusty old mosin and some body armor in a dumpster behind the hospital, that justifies us dropping napalm on it.

Posting weariness suggests the supply situation for Hexbear is a mounting problem. With the Ukraine war news reduced to a trickle in Avdviika and the situation in Gaza becoming horrendously repetitive, will the Iceland offensive restore posting spirits?

Woman’s giraffe poop collection seized at airport, ruining her art project

The woman said she collected the giraffe excrement in Kenya and was going to make a necklace out of it once she was back at her Iowa home, according to officials. She had made poop necklaces before, using moose droppings, she told officials.

“There is a real danger with bringing fecal matter into the U.S.,” said LaFonda Sutton-Burke, CBP director of field operations in the Chicago Field Office

The box and the poop within were seized and destroyed, officials said.

just saw some news of a female IOF soldier dying from a rocket wounds, It got me wondering, do they harvest her eggs now or what?

IOF be like 🗓️

lmao look at the way that Biden fucking staggers over to Xi HEY MAN I’VE SEEN YOU ON TV MAN NICE TO SEE YOU HERE

People on .world get really mad when you tell them you're not voting for either presidential candidate since they both represent genocide denial/enablement.

Now that you all are coming around to recognizing Ansarallah it's time to learn about their land reform policies and agrarian revolution.

Yemen under the Ansarallah is a country where the power and wealth of landowners are actively diminished in an almost Marxist-adjacent fashion. In May of 2022, the third phase of the agricultural revolution was initiated by the Higher Agricultural Committee, which resulted in the expropriation of farmland across the entire country. In Yemen’s western Tihama region, 104 thousand hectares of land was expropriated for farming. And while this is just one example of Ansarallah’s economic plan, the same story is unfolding in regions such as Dhamar, Saadah, and elsewhere.

The agrarian revolution has also led to a revival of Yemen’s 600-year-old coffee culture. “The Coffee Revolution” is an initiative directly linked to the wider agrarian renaissance that aims to boost coffee cultivation through proper education of farmers and general oversight of farms and markets. A stimulant such as Qat, native to Yemen for decades, is slowly being phased out and replaced with coffee crops. An announcement was made back in February of 2022 by the Governor of Saadah Muhammad Jaber Awad and Shura Council member Abdullah Al-Qasimi, that all qat trees are to be replaced with coffee and almonds, a project that is still actively ongoing today.

On Qat specifically, Zaid Ali Basha within his research argues that the stimulant grew across Yemen’s population much in favor of Saleh’s kleptocratic dictatorship and what he calls “qatlords”, the landlords reaping profits from Qat cultivation. Qat usage and misusage were not mitigated because they created a “politically disengaged citizenry” that had surrendered to the state. An opioid for the masses if there ever was one. So long as the people were “happy” due to an active and daily consumption of a psychoactive stimulant, the state was able to repress, oppress and exploit the people for decades to little opposition.

The dire conditions that have been imposed upon Yemen have forced the Yemeni people to rely solely and squarely on national and local produce instead of an economy over-reliant on foreign imports that have proven unsustainable and have become weaponized by the enemies of the country: “woe to a nation that eats what it does not plant, and wears what it does not weave” is a common Arabic saying that beautifully ties together what Ansarallah’s economic plan is all about.

What Ansarallah has managed to establish while facing war, starvation, and a crippling blockade, is a system that could best be described as akin to Yugoslavian worker self-management but without the overtly socialist aesthetic and tone. In fact, this system was what Ibrahim Al-Hamdi was trying to establish with his five-year plan but never realized before his death in 1977. The state in Sana’a does not control farmland, nor does it dictate the output of agrarian produce. Farmland and output are controlled by the cooperatives, which are wholly owned and administered by Yemen’s peasantry.
