bartolomeo,

News media keeps painting “Americans can’t afford _____ anymore” as “Americans choose to forego _____”.

Outside Groups Spent $285,000 Backing Jamaal Bowman. AIPAC Alone Just Dropped Nearly $2 Million to Attack Him. (theintercept.com)

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s super PAC has launched its first ads attacking Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District. The ads claim that Bowman “has his own agenda” and refuses to work with President Joe Biden....

bartolomeo,

Israel is like the panicking drowning person and the US is the person that gets drowned trying to save them.

Israel's far-right minister Smotrich calls to occupy Gaza, take over south Lebanon (www.haaretz.com)

Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that the Israeli army should create a security zone in southern Lebanon should Hezbollah not heed an Israeli ultimatum to withdraw from the border area. He also called on the security cabinet to order a permanent military presence “in all of the Gaza Strip.”...

bartolomeo,

And there have been like 11 or so elections since Netanyahu first got into power and he’s still in power, so it’s not like it was a fluke or anything.

bartolomeo,

It’s sick how all Palestinans are referred to simply as “terrorists” by some Israelis, and not just those in the military.

bartolomeo,

Let them eat MEV bot operators.

bartolomeo,

What’s funny is that that’s a description of MEV.

gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victim

I skipped “fraudulent” because neither MEV bots nor this attack can be called fraudulent imo, although MEV is definitely taking value one didn’t help create.

bartolomeo,

And claimed he has a historic right to live in… Palestine.

Secret Hamas Files Show How It Spied on Everyday Palestinians (www.nytimes.com)

The Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has for years overseen a secret police force in Gaza that conducted surveillance on everyday Palestinians and built files on young people, journalists and those who questioned the government, according to intelligence officials and a trove of internal documents reviewed by The New York Times....

bartolomeo,

I know they were funded in part by Israel to destroy Palestinian unity and give Israel an excuse to kill more Palestinians and take their land, but was Hamas really created by Israel?

bartolomeo,

And it’s not the first time NYT has run a direct propaganda piece. They have to do this once in a while for the Israeli government to reassert its hegemony over the narrative.

Yes, I know mediabiasfactcheck.com says NYT is excellent but that’s just a reflection on mediabiasfactcheck.com.

bartolomeo,

they can promote certain perspectives while downplaying others

Exactly, and they have the reach to be very effective at controlling the narrative.

mondoweiss.net/…/palestinian-photog-says-nyt-fire…

“What is taking place is a systematic effort to distort the image of Palestinian journalists as being incapable of trustworthiness and integrity, simply because we cover the human rights violations that the Palestinian people undergo on a daily basis at hands of the Israeli army,” Salem wrote today on Facebook and Twitter, in a thread that has been widely retweeted, 5000 times this morning.

The case stands in stark contrast to the three Jewish reporters, Ethan Bronner, Isabel Kershner, and David Brooks, who carried on writing about the issue for the New York Times even when their children were enlisted in the Israeli Defense Forces.

The Israel lobby is massively invested in propaganda, like NGO monitor and the above linked “organization Honest Reporting, which exists to attack the Palestinian narrative in the west”. Not to mention ads on google, youtube, controlling the narrative on facebook, google again, twitter… the list goes on. And yeah, there’s app for that.

bartolomeo,

Great meme, even better post description.

bartolomeo,

What’s the credibility of mediabiasfactcheck.com?

bartolomeo,

Lol yea, but is Dave M. Van Zandt really a Zionist? I hadn’t heard that.

My favorite part of their Wikipedia page is

Fact checks are carried out by independent reviewers who are associated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and follow the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles, which was developed by the Poynter Institute.

Writers at the Poynter Institute, which develops PolitiFact,[24] have stated that “Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific.”

bartolomeo,

Did you read that page yet?

Israelis domestically and abroad have primarily called for the return of hostages held by Hamas.

Some of the protests were

  • Protest against humanitarian aid
  • Pro-war protests

Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide, or even to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza, in fact:

On 9 November, Israeli police arrested former MK Mohammad Barakeh in Nazareth for attempting to organize an anti-war protest.[53]

The reason you have not seen “Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza” in the news is that it’s not happening.

Jews, on the other hand, have been getting locked up in droves (and since the beginning of the latest offensive) protesting Israel’s actions.

Musk's X Corp loses lawsuit against Israeli data-scraping company (www.reuters.com)

May 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit in which Elon Musk’s X Corp accused an Israeli data-scraping company of illegally copying and selling content, and selling tools that let others copy and sell content, from the social media platform....

bartolomeo,

allowing the scraping and evading X’s own anti-scraping technology.

I wonder why evading anti-scraping technology is not treated like bypassing DRM or the DMCAs anti-circumvention rules.
