Israel is Coming Apart at the Seams, It Seems

We took the gloves off’: ex-IDF chief confirms Gaza casualties over 200,000

Retired general Herzi Halevi says ‘not once’ had legal advice constrained Israel’s military decisions in the strip.

That's 10% of the population. And they're currently razing Gaza City by dropping high-rise buildings on the heads of their residents. Now let's hear more about Charlie Kirk.

"And then we'll tell the USA it was a RUSSIAN plot, but we'll tell the Chinese it was the Japanese pulling the strings all along!"

Something pretty big might be going down in Gaza.

Huh.

On the one hand, it's not like the Ayatollah has ... well, any redeeming characteristics whatsoever.

On the other hand, you have to ask if deposing his regime would lead to any improvements, or just to a completely different set of assholes taking control — just as malevolent, but possibly less predictable.

And trying to manipulate the U.S. into getting directly involved is something that Netanyahu would only attempt with somebody as idiotic and gullible as Trump in charge.

They've launched the final battle against the remnants of Hamas. For the fifth time.

UN report makes conclusion of genocide. Unlikely to convince anyone who has ignored the same conclusion from all other relevant bodies, of course.

This and the Taliban blowing up those Buddha statues? Same thing.

I think that the Soviets allowed the churches to stand and just repurposed the buildings.

Hell, that's what the Ottomans did with the Hagia Sofia.

Trump claims to have seen tapes of 4-month-old Israeli babies “chopped up" from October 7th and uses it as an excuse to continue his support for genocide. But this is a lie. It didn't happen.

The only thing Trump's seen chopped up is his dinner, because he's incapable of doing it himself or fucking chewing anything besides the scenery these days.

If it did happen, all the goo-ified US school shooting kids, and goo-ified bombed Palestinian kids haven't upset his stomach.
Horror isn't an emotion this man feels.

Public opinion is being softened up for an attack on the humanitarian aid flotilla (50 boats) due to reach Gaza soon. This is from the Israeli foreign ministry.

Hip-hop group Kneecap barred from entering Canada
MP says group 'has engaged in actions and have made statements that are contrary to Canadian values and laws'

Oh cool, that's totally fair. Fuck anyone making statements contrary to Canadian values and laws.

Meanwhile in Kananskis:

Canada, France, Australia and the UK just recognised Palestine as a state - a welcome step but an ineffectual one and the very minimum that the moment requires.

In response, fugitive war criminal Benjamin Mileikowsky has begun making threats of retaliation. Usually that means kicking Palestinians in the face some more, but if he does directly go after these states interests, things could get interesting.

"Scrambling" being a euphemism for bribery, threats and blackmail. If this goes to a vote, they're done.

It seems that they managed to prevent UEFA from voting on their suspension. And they've begun attacking the flotilla with drones after posting this on social media.

Italy has deployed a frigate to protect the humanitarian flotilla.

Good.
I look forward to seeing Israel's response. Either they will back down, or risk war with a NATO member.

Spain also sending a ship to assist. Israeli officials suddenly sounding much less aggressive in their demands for the flotilla to change course.

The Italian people did this, with a general strike forcing Meloni to act.

i have generally supported Israel but it seems they have caught the (hate to use this word so casually as much as it's thrown around) Nazi disease and seem to want to 'wipe out' an entire population of people. they state one reason is security but i feel if you displace thousands and thousands of people from their homes this does not increase your security just changes the location that the revenge originates. i am reminded of that saying 'we have met the enemy and it is us' (probably not an accurate quote)

Why are you using that name?
