A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.

2 things which i came to know for the first time:
"U.S. immigrants are prevalent among religious, nationalist and Zionist communities in Israel and the West Bank, experts said. Families tend to be large and often have multiple members serving in the military or as reservists. An estimated 23,380 American citizens currently serve in Israeli ranks, according to Israel Defense Forces." (WP, https://archive.ph/CT6Sf#selection-651.0-651.333)

ich hab keine Ahnung, was du mir sagen willst. Anders als der heute-show ging es mir auch nicht um satirische Kommentierung der Protagonistin. Interessant fand ich, dass 25 Jahre nach dem wegweisenden "Manifest gegen die Arbeit" junge Menschen auf ganz anderen Wegen zu derselben "Erkenntnis" kommen.

Du beziehst dich auf die Ausdrucksweise der Influenzerin? Wie gesagt, es ging mir in meinem Beitrag nicht um eine Bewertung dieser Person, weder inhaltlich noch stilistisch.
Und ja, es ist ok, ableistische Sprache zu kritisieren, aber in diesem Fall würde ich nicht gleich als PC-Sheriff auftreten. Wenn du den Beitrag ansiehst, wirst du feststellen, dass es einfach als synonym für "spinnt ihr eigentlich" gebraucht wurde. Oder darf mensch das auch schon nicht mehr sagen?

    Must-read reporting by +972 on how the IDF are using “AI” in their indiscriminate murder in Gaza. It’s horrific, and we must not look away. And it’s an absolute nightmare of the usual sorts of AI harms cranked up to the extreme: mass surveillance, "we don't have any choice but to automate", AI as pretext for deadly violence.

    This impetus, as far as i can see as a non-recipient, might still be deficient, as it omits capitalism and related power structures, but it might be a viable first step which in the further process eventually could enable people to learn that we don't need governments at all and must abolish capitalism.

    even if you feel some degree of distrust in the somehow unappealing character of host Chris Hedges, you should listen to this convincingly credible investigator, Ali Abunimah, who is obviously dedicating his life "to find out the truth".

    Conclusion sounds somehow contradictory. How could the war be ended, if Netanyahu wants an endless war? There's no elections in state of war, right?
    So, what? Revolution? Military coup?

    messaroundmarx,

    @DrALJONES
    sure, and my question was how Netanyahu is to be gone in times of war. Do you know, if there's a legal possibility to impeach him?

    The Pentagon has a laser that can identify people from a distance—by their heartbeat

    "The Jetson prototype can pick up on a unique cardiac signature from 200 meters away, even through clothes.

    Everyone’s heart is different. Like the iris or fingerprint, our unique cardiac signature can be used as a way to tell us apart. Crucially, it can be done from a distance."

    In German language, there's a funny feature allowing compound nouns of principally indefinite length, but mostly they are two- or threefold. So, somebody created the term "Formaldemokratie" which means formal democracy. I created the Hashtag , because I found it a striking expression for what is the case. A polity which only formally is a democracy.

    Watch who will act surprised when death numbers explode. It's the plan.

    "What makes the starvation campaign worse, [...] is that people in Gaza are facing these conditions while Israel is forcing them into increasingly small areas and has removed access to supplies needed for basic hygiene. This has created conditions for disease to spread extremely rapidly among Palestinians in Gaza, especially as their immune systems are already weakened by malnourishment."
