@randahl The situation in #Gaza is tragic, but after #Hamas (who was elected to power) attacked #Israel 🇮🇱 on October 7th, 2023, they committed the whole area to the blowback of war.
Hamas is (to put it bluntly) a genocidal organization that needs to be removed from power.
Good morning from the boss lady, #CatsOfMastodon - it is still very chilly in London!
This #Caturday she brings you our latest #TheGlobalJigsaw on the disinfo wars in the wake of the horrific #CrocusCityHall attack - the narratives from #Moscow#Kyiv#Tajikistan and from the #IslamicState group.
She worked extra hard this week to turn it around fast, so pls let her know your thoughts once you've heard it:
Since the beginning of 2024, Mozambique's northernmost province of Cabo Delgado has been engulfed in a new wave of violence. Repeated clashes between armed insurgents and security forces have been rife in several coastal towns. As a result, around 100,000 people, including over 61,000 children, were displaced between early...
"Wednesday’s deadly bombing in southern #Iran of a memorial service for a senior #Iranian general was actually carried out under the orders of #Israel, despite claims by the #IslamicState terrorist group that it carried out the attack, a website affiliated with Iran’s #Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Friday.
According to an unsourced account on the #IRGC’s Tasnim news site, “the #Zionist regime ordered the #ISIS caliphate to accept the responsibility for this action,” using a reference to Israel."
>2 wks before terrorist attack #UnitedStates told #Russia that #CrocusCityHall was possible target of attack
The high degree of specificity conveyed in the warning underscores Washington’s confidence that the #IslamicState was preparing an attack that threatened large numbers of civilians, & it directly contradicts Moscow’s claims that the #US warnings were too general to help preempt the assault.
The #US identification of #CrocusCityHall as a potential target — a fact that has not been previously reported — raises new questions about why Russian authorities failed to take stronger measures to protect the venue, where gunmen killed >140 people & set fire to the bldg. A branch of the #IslamicState took credit for the attack, the deadliest in #Russia in 20 yrs. #UnitedStates ofcls publicly said the group #ISISK, “bears sole responsibility,” but #Putin has tried to pin the blame on #Ukraine.
TV editor Simonyan published a video showing a suspect, a young bearded man, being interrogated aggressively by a roadside, replying in heavily accented Russian to a series of barked questions. He said he’d flown from Turkey Mar4 & received instructions from unknown people via Telegram to carry out the attack in exchange for money.
Inside his twisted and cruel mind, Putin is actually happy this happened. Don't need a PHD to figure that out.
He can use it to brainwash more of his people.
