“This was intentional. You don’t accidentally kill massive amounts of children and their families over and over again and get to say, ‘It was a mistake,’” U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said in a social media post to President Joe Biden. “Genocidal maniac Netanyahu told us he wants to ethically cleanse Palestinians. When are you going to believe him, POTUS?”

Despite these staggering casualties—and Israel’s forced displacement, starvation, and deprivation of millions of Gazans—the United States continues to support its top Middle Eastern ally with billions of dollars in arms and with diplomatic and political support including United Nations Security Council vetoes and genocide denial.

“How many times are we going to hear, it was a ‘mistake’ before we take serious action against Netanyahu?” U.S. Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) asked. “How does anyone justify his administration? Every single moment that we supply arms, send money, and make excuses makes us absolutely complicit in his barbaric war of death against Palestinians. Enough!”

“Biden’s backing of Netanyahu’s war is rooted in a hierarchy of human value, an empathy gap that perpetuates suffering, violence, and distrust,” he added. “Cutting off American weapons is the only way to isolate Netanyahu to prevent further killing of women and children in what has become the largest slaughter of Palestinian civilians since Israel’s founding in 1948.”

I find the hysteria over the the top. Like, they targeted and killed two Hamas commanders. So when the article quotes someone saying they targeted civilians in tents, that should be called out as a lie.

It might not be big news for you, but once you see the same military speak and narrative over and over again, you start to question and become more criticial of what they say vs. what is closer to the truth.

Reminds me of some other wars, where we droned many civilians, 'but we were targeting terrorists" line is also used to a certain degree.

Which war and whistleblower released the info on the closer to real data of civilian death vs. military reported civilan deaths…Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, or Pakistan.

The Iraq War documents leak is the disclosure to WikiLeaks of 391,832 United States Army field reports, also called the Iraq War Logs, of the Iraq War from 2004 to 2009 and published on the Internet on 22 October 2010. The files record 66,081 civilian deaths out of 109,000 recorded deaths.

Seems like the airstrike caused some flammable materials to catch fire and it spread to the tents. The resultant fire was obviously not intentional.

That may be true, but when you see Israeli talking points in legacy media, they make sure to always bring up how much effort they put into keeping the civilan death count to the minimum. They do not release any of the data on this though, only on the ‘Hamas’ terrorist death count.

Hey, maybe don’t make camp with Hamas commanders? Maybe point them out on day one of the war so everyone can go back home? This should have been over in November.

Have you heard of Guerrilla warfare? Our gov’t and military has a lot of experience with this type of warfare, but if you look at the data, it seems to only increase terrorists due to them spreading out and, due to civilian deaths, it tends to increase terrorism due to martyrs and revenge for family/friends.

Guerrilla warfare is a form of unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military, such as rebels, partisans, paramilitary personnel or armed civilians including recruited children, use ambushes, sabotage, terrorism, raids, petty warfare or hit-and-run tactics in a rebellion, in a violent conflict, in a war or in a civil war to fight against regular military, police or rival insurgent forces.

I hope this has helped you see a different point of view, I would suggest to read about the US wars we have been a part of for around a couple of decades.

You may read military and legacy media data on the wars, then look at the leaked information to contrast and compare the information.

Feel free to share that information [with] us as well!

Let us keep talking to people we do not agree with or think like we do!

Group Files New ICC Complaint Over Journalists Killed by Israel in Gaza [Brett Wilkins | May 27, 2024 | Common Dreams] (www.commondreams.org)

Reporters Without Borders says it has “reasonable grounds for thinking that some of these journalists were deliberately killed and that the others were the victims of deliberate IDF attacks against civilians.”

“We are horrified by this deadly event, which shows once again that nowhere is safe,” said MSF on social media.

The bombing came two days after the International Court of Justice issued its latest order to Israel regarding its assault on Gaza, telling the government that it “must immediately halt its military offensive or any other action in the Rafah governorate” and that the ICJ was not convinced by Israel’s claims that it was taking steps to protect civilians.

Albanese in March published a draft report describing Israel’s bombardment of Gaza as a genocide. The IDF has now killed at least 36,050 Palestinians as top Israeli officials have called for the “total annihilation” of cities in the enclave and have instructed the military to treat everyone in Gaza as a legitimate target.

The images out of Rafah on Sunday included videos of tents being engulfed in flames and charred corpses, and one showed a man holding up what appeared to be the body of a small child who had been beheaded. NBC News reported that it “was not able to independently verify the situation on the ground.”

Groups that have repeatedly condemned the assault on Gaza demanded that the U.S. government immediately end its financial and political support for Israel. The U.S. is the largest international funder of the IDF, and approved $17 billion more in military aid in April as President Joe Biden warned that a full-scale offensive in Rafah would be a “red line” that would force the White House to halt its support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“This U.S.-backed massacre of civilians is a direct result of the Biden administration’s enduring political and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, on Monday. “The Palestinian child shown without a head would still be alive today had our government not offered Israel’s far-right government unceasing support for the slaughter of Palestinian civilians and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Those who support genocide are just as guilty as those who drop American-supplied bombs on civilians.”

As major news outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post buried the news of the attack under unrelated stories, journalist Mehdi Hasan condemned the silence of the Biden administration and the “U.S. political and media establishments.”

Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, directed ire at European Union leaders who have continued to back Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, demanding to know “how many more red lines must be crossed before the E.U. decides to act?”

Albanese said Israel must face “sanctions, justice, [and] suspension of agreements, trade, partnership, and investments” in order to pressure Netanyahu to halt his military operation.

Hamza Yousaf, former first minister of Scotland and a member of Scottish Parliament, called on the international community to “bear witness to the images [in Tal al-Sultan] and ask yourself, are you on the right side of history?”

“The U.S. government has facilitated this genocide by continuously sending weapons and funding to the Israeli military, despite mass opposition from the American people,” the group added. “We hold the U.S. government, in addition to the Israeli government, responsible for the slaughter of over 36,000 Palestinians, for the siege and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, and for mass destruction of infrastructure and land. We demand an end to all U.S. funding to the Israeli military now. People of conscience throughout the world are calling for an end to genocide.”

The police charged Edan On, an 18-year-old high school senior, with felony assault for attacking at least one person with a wooden pole. He was remanded to a Los Angeles jail, where he’s being held on a $30,000 bond, according toThe Guardian. On was first identified for his role in the mob attack, led by so-called counterprotestors, in a CNNinvestigation published May 16.

Thistle Boosinger, a 23-year-old member of the encampment, had her hand smashed. “My bone is broken totally in half below my knuckle… [which is] shattered into a bunch of pieces and jumbled up,” she told CNN. In another incident during the attack, a fourth-year UCLA student suffered two head injuries in a matter of minutes. After being hit in the forehead with a traffic cone, he was hit in the back of the head with a wooden plank, video shows.

On’s mother, who had previously described UCLA student protesters as “human animals,” bragged about his role in the attack on social media, even circling an image of him. “Edan went to bully the Palestinian students in the tents at UCLA and played the song that they played to the Nukhba terrorists in prison!” she wrote in Hebrew, CNN reported. When the outlet sought an interview with On, his mother claimed that he was in Israel and planned to join the Israel Defense Forces.

News of On’s arrest followed other events Thursday related to pro-Palestine activism at UCLA. Block testified before the Republican-led U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, some of whose members grilled him for being inattentive to antisemitism on campus. Taking an opposing position, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) asked why no one had been held to account for the mob attack, the Los Angeles Times reported.

As countries look for ways to move away from fossil fuels, nuclear fission technology is poised for a comeback. At COP28 last year, 20 nations decided to triple their nuclear energy capacity in the next 25 years but plans for long-term storage of spent fuel have yet to be drawn up.

Where the alchemists failed, former scientists from CERN have been able to succeed. Using a particle accelerator, the researchers propose using a slightly radioactive element such as thorium and transmuting it into an isotope of uranium.

The technology is the brainchild of Carlo Rubbia, the former director-general of the physics laboratory at CERN.

While Rubbia might have had access to a particle accelerator at his old workplace, nuclear energy plants do not have the same luxuries. Building a particle accelerator near each plant can be quite expensive, considering that CERN spent nearly US$5 billion to deliver the Large Hadron Collider.

The other challenge is the opposition to nuclear technology itself. Interesting Engineering has previously reported how Germany phased off its nuclear power plants. Switzerland, too, has similar plans for its four existing nuclear power production facilities.

According to the Swiss national body, Transmutex’s technology could help reduce the volume of nuclear waste generated by 80 percent and reduce the time it remains radioactive to less than 500 years. More importantly, the technology could also be applied to 99 percent of existing nuclear waste.

Profit>people

The free market only gives insurance to ‘the people’ in the danger prone communities only when profit margins are big enough for the companies liking.

Damned be, the people that grew up and live their…

Co-ops and other community-first based company would be a great replacement form the profit hungry and greedy companies.

Edit: improved wording, a bit

But Jan 6 was a violent insurrection into what is the most important day in our electoral process: the day when the peaceful transfer of power is meant to occur and anyone trying to draw parallels between that and BLM rioters is actively engaged in subverting our democracy. You can whine about media obfuscation all day long, but we all saw the video footage and we all knew what day of the year it was.

Yes, I also saw what legacy media release and what other independent media release.

Similar to all protests, the people breaking the law are to be punished and all that, but do not forget that they are usually really small percentage of these people that are violent, when comparing a few violent people to the full size of the protest.

Yeah, the anti-establishment schtick is getting old. Glenn is part of the fraternity of ultimate skeptics -when it’s convenient, of course. And frankly, the theatrics are getting old.

Not sure what you mean by this… it may just be our political bubbles that make it difficult to understand each other at a quick matter and just with a few replies and comments.

I do not support or am a part of the duopoly, so that will also differ a lot on how we view gov’t and the people that control our politicians, the owner class.

I am more of a revolutionary than a reformist, so that is a major difference we have.

In a simple to understand and basic outline, I see Jan. 06 event, IMO, as an unorganized riot similar to when a certain sports team losses and they go ham at what is near by, only a few are extremly violent while letting out frustration.

Few or little of the protestors were openly showing their 2A given rights, compared to how the Black Panther Parties would be in the presence of police and and other gov’t dogs that do their bidding.

The Black Panther Party is a greater group I would align with than the unorganized Jan. 06 riots that were gov’t backlash.

Sadly, the Black Panthers and many great activists that fight against the status quo are killed or under great surveillance by our fascist government and police state.

It seems to me that you are just following everything the propaganda machine is pushing out.

Do not forget to be crticial and to question legacy media talking points.

We need to keep remembering how legacy media pushed Oct. 07 talking points, only until independent journalists debunked it, then people started to question and become more criticial thinkers, which benefits humanity.

I would suggest to see what other independent jouarnalists had to say about Jan 06; aside from just reading, the status quo narrative pushed by our politicians, owner class.

jimmydoreisalefty,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

Well, there is a reason the populist and many of us have lost trust on media, the distrust keeps increasing instead of decreasing as time goes on and legacy media keeps doing what they do best.

It would be awesome if you could make some time to watch this debate, increasing the speed or reading transcipts is an option as well or download and listen to go the go (I use an apk(app) that lets me do that for free), I prefer seeing the facial cues and emotion heard when people talk/debate/discuss:

Munk Debate - Mainstream Media ft. Douglas Murray, Matt Taibbi, Malcolm Gladwell, Michelle Goldberg [01:40:24 | Dec 08 22 | Truthspeak] youtu.be/nvaf7XOOFHc

On the PRO side of the debate were Douglas Murray (The Spectator) and Matt Taibbi (TK News on Substack). On the CON side of the debate were Malcolm ‘Malc’ Gladwell (The New Yorker, Revisionist History) and Michelle Goldberg (The New York Times).

At the beginning of the debate, 48% voted in favour of the resolution, while 52% voted against the resolution.

I thought it was a great debate, but they should have found better people for the CON side; to me, it is an endeavour that will result in failure, but compelling points can still be made, so as to make us question and critic our way of thinking and the way we view the world.

I am not the biggest fan of Douglas Murray, but he debated well with his points.

I now plan to make some time to rewatch it again, hahaha

Thank you for engaging in a discussion with me!

I am stubborn and hard heading on topics that interest me a lot, and I know I may hold the wrong views, but I know as time passes I may keep learning and talking with people so as to realign my views on certain topics!

Have an awesome day and wish you the best!

jimmydoreisalefty,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, great that you decided already, hahaha

That was quick! Nice, none duopoly parties are much better, but they do tend to struggle to take off at the local level, grassroots takes a bit and hard work from community.

Go for it!

I would suggest to join your local council as a start, if you would like to…, and start networking with people so as to start the process required to get voters and supporters.

Sounds good, you do not want to just go off of party teams, we need to make sure to see what policies fit while what is just talk versus what will they really fight for; I’ve made that mistake before, hahaha

jimmydoreisalefty,
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, some of my friends were really into Ron Paul, they keep bringing him up not too long ago also, hahaha

I didn’t know why but compared to the status quo he is much better on things that the working class would benefit from.

Yes, both blue and red team try to appeal to a certain group but they just end up losing more support in the end, hahaha

Ah, that is a good choice so as to have competition where their is none! Always best to be as direct as possible since you are not to worried about the outcome, win-win solution it seems, hahaha

Careful you might win though, hahahaha
