The kids are alright

turning a big dial taht says "genocide" on it and constantly looking back at america for approval like a contestant on the price is right

At this point I'm genuinely not sure what would be more damaging to the USA in the long term:

• Trump, the bumbling 78-82 year old cheetoh man?
• Or the 82-86 year old shambling corpse, Genocide Joe?

Trudeau not ready to accept US finding that Palestinian outfit was behind Gaza hospital blast

Little potato's position was already under threat from US right-wing backers financially supporting PP. This refusal to follow the US line is probably going to ratchet that up.

Love it how no one trusts the media, unless they say something pro Israel or anti-China

@SeanBlackmon9 from the Party for Socialism and Liberation said that the narratives about Palestinians are dishonest, because no matter what they do, they're attacked as terrorists or anti-Semitic.

He compares the plight of Palestinians to if a person were being lynched and fought back with a noose around their neck, and then got accused of violence.

"If we want to bring down Apartheid Israel, not only will we have to defeat imperialism, we will have to overturn the capitalist system out of which the imperialist system grows," he said.

"We need a socialist reconstruction of the United States of America."

I am once again asking the DPRK to give Palestine a nuke

HEY! Did you condom hummus?!?!?

BTW, if anyone here is an active Wikipedian, feel free to contribute to the ongoing edit war over this line in the new article: "Hamas has been known to store munitions inside hospitals, mosques, and schools in the past.[12]" This is the easiest WP:SYNTH of all time since the source is not referring to the current events and thus including it is clearly attempting to make connections rather than neutrally collect reports on what is happening and what claims have been made.

e: success! As of a minute or two ago, consensus was reached to remove this line. Anticipating that the admin will unilaterally decide that it's valuable background and add it back in (since they're shoveling IDF propo into the article rn) but it's worth celebrating the small victories, I guess. Gotta keep track of the stars that exist in the overwhelming darkness of the night sky.

No, no its totally plausible Hamas has air burst munitions capable of killing a 1000 people in one swoop, and they decided a week into the conflict after horrific casualties to finally use it, and the one time they do it just happens to malfunction and land directly on top of a hospital that was previously bombed by Israel and was slated for another attack by the IDF, yeah this is believable

One on hand, I feel genuinely surprised over how much support Palestine has with the public versus my expectations in the first couple days of all this.

On the other hand, the only opinions I’ve seen from “leftists” outside of this website has been to qualify any support for Palestine with “but of course Hamas are terrorists and the bad guys and need to be dealt with”. Like this idea that all Palestinian violence against Israel is self-defense is completely foreign to people who superficially support a free Palestine (in the west at least).

The United States has proposed a draft UN Security Council resolution that says Israel has a right to defend itself.

It also calls for Iran stop exporting arms to "militias and terrorist groups threatening peace and security across the region".

The draft text calls for the protection of civilians — including those who are trying to get to safety — notes that states must comply with international law when responding to "terrorist attacks", and urges the "continuous, sufficient and unhindered" delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip.

The move by the US comes after it vetoed a Brazilian-drafted text on Wednesday that would have called for humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants, to allow aid access to Gaza.

US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield justified Wednesday's veto by telling the council more time was needed for diplomacy on the ground as US President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the region.

Ms Thomas-Greenfield said the US was also disappointed Wednesday's draft did not mention Israel's right to self-defence.

USA eat my shit and hair

What happened to The Ukraine lmao

jfc I'm losing my mind, I should not have gone on Not only denying Israel's bombing, but claiming that not that many people died. The absolute bloodlust of these psychopaths. I need to log off.

⚡️Iran: President Ebrahim Raisi, during his meeting with the South African Foreign Minister: There is no longer hope for the Security Council to play a role in maintaining international peace

The most massive and diverse protests in the Arab World were in Iraq today. Shows that having some degree of freedom of expression in the Arab World makes the population way more confident and cool. Could never be Saudi or the UAE.

Genocide Joe clearly thinks Palestine isn't in Israel because he said only 1300 people were "slaughtered in Israel"

And yet...

Al-Jazeera: Ministry of the Interior in Gaza: A building belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church in downtown Gaza City collapsed as a result of Israeli raids!

Al-Jazeera: Ministry of Interior in Gaza: Injuries among displaced people who were taking shelter in the Greek Orthodox Church as a result of Israeli raids

These reports have been confirmed by the Orthodox Archdiocese of Jordan’s official FB page… ☦️🇯🇴Israel has destroyed one of the oldest Christian Churches in the world…

Lord have Mercy!

Israel bombed the Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza, where people were taking shelter

A week ago, it was reported that the Church was targeted, which turned out to be false. Sadly, they targeted it now. It was one of the oldest churches in the world.

third oldest church in the world

Its funny to me imagining hardline Marxist Leninist guerillas sitting across from Islamic extremist miltiamen inside an armored transport. Literally the 'this is what the establishment fears the most' meme.

the awkward silence would be hilarious. Weird things occur in National Liberation Front coalitions.

BREAKING: Statement released by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya al-Quds

Not availabe

This channel can't be displayed because it violated local laws.

What do they mean by that?

We had a few very small pro-Palestine protests in Finland a few days ago. What I noticed was the people taking part in these were nearly 100% immigrants who by taking part in anything like this are taking huge personal risks regarding the right to stay and safety in general. There was also no information anywhere about these protest because this country has effectively kept all etcnic minorities outside of society and there really is no area where we cross paths.

The local rabbi has now announced that they will be raising charges againts these protesters for ethnic agitation and defamation.

This will likely lead to these people being deported or can be used againts them in other ways. It will surely stop all protests because even on protesting againts austerity policy or raising voices about issues within this country immigrants often have to stay out in fear of retaliation, I was told this by an international student who felt unsafe voicing their issues during the student protests here.

Israel-which won't allow any independent reporters on the ground whatsoever-has now escalated their stance of "we didn't bomb the hospital we said we were bombing an hour earlier" to "500 people didn't actually die." I choose to believe this because Chapo Trap House annoys me.

BBC takes six journalists off air over pro palestine stance

Their savage and barbaric terrorism

Our modern and high tech Shock and Awe doctrine

Idk if anyone's posted it here yet, but Josh Paul, a senior US State Department official who was in change of arms transfers, just resigned in protest over what's going been going on in Gaza. He put up a letter on his LinkedIn page, which you can read here. It's obviously coming from a lib perspective, but it is still pretty remarkable that the top gun runner for the the US empire is taking more issue with the situation than the vast majority of mainstream media or "progressive" politicians.

Its fun watching the empire crumble, but I die inside seeing whats happening to the citizens in between. Russians, Ukrainians, and Palestinians are getting killed every second for their battles resisting fascism and imperialism. Any of them are braver than I will be.

Ukraine and Russia used to be one. Arabs and Jews had worked in harmony for centuries before radicalized nationalism ruined it all. These are wars of sisters having to kill their siblings.

Death to the US

Wanna guess what the take from qanon types on Israel is? Well I’ll tell ya

The initial Hamas escalation was a false flag attack staged by the US to distract from the deaths caused by the jab and biden’s failing economy

Sounds like a chud word generator tbh, but it’s a whole side of tik tok lmao what no material analysis does to a mf

Will post in the atrocities thread, but I think I've got a decent timeline of the hospital bombing. Please add anything that I've missed here

• Friday, 13th October -- IDF orders evacuation of all northern Gaza and specifically ordered hospitals to evacuate (IDF English statement on twitter | UN response)
• Saturday, 14th October -- Two attacks happen on Saturday. First, The IDF targeted the homes of three staff members, including the medical director, Dr Maher Ayyad (source). Second, the al-Ahli hospital's cancer ward is hit by a missile at 7.30pm, injuring 4 staff members.. I think this was a warning shot.
• Sunday, 15th October -- Thousands of refugees begin to take shelter in hospitals, including Al-Ahli. Hospital officials seem to have been warned several times to evacuate the premises. I don't know enough Arabic to hunt down or confirm these sources but Arab TV quotes an "Evangelical (Protestant?) Church in Jerusalem" saying they were warned to evacuate the hospital three times via phone.
• Monday, 16th October -- More refugees and warnings, I'm assuming. Reports continue to come out about how the hospital is overflowing with patients who have no where to go and that the hospital has no more medicine or supplies to treat them. The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, who run the hospital, declare a day of prayer and fasting for Tuesday, 17th October.
• Tuesday, 17th October -- The IDF strike al-Ahli hospital with a guided missile during the day of prayer and fasting.

As discussion of the facts continue, I really want to again emphasise that the IDF had attacked the hospital already and targeted the homes of the medical director of the hospital. Finally, al-Ahli is one of fifteen hospitals that have been attacked in Gaza since 7th Oct (source).

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to offer condolences and voice support for Palestinians’ “legitimate aspirations,” the State Department has said.

Fuck you

IDF has this degree of penetration of Hamas's communications in Gaza, but missed a broad based attack involving thousands of participants that was two years in the planning.

Biden says Gaza hospital blast ‘appears as though it was done by the other team’ and not Israel

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — President Joe Biden vowed to show the world that the U.S. stands in solidarity with Israelis during his visit there Wednesday, and offered an assessment that the deadly explosion at a Gaza Strip hospital apparently was not carried out by the Israeli military.

“Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a meeting. But Biden said there were “a lot of people out there” who weren’t sure what caused the blast.

Biden didn’t offer details on why he believed the blast was not caused by the Israelis.

Genocide Joe Rides Again

Biden is now backing up Israeli lies about their strike on the hospital (per CNN):

Speaking alongside Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said it appeared Tuesday's deadly blast at a Gaza hospital was "done by the other team, not you," echoing Israeli assertions that the bombing was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket.

I really fucking hate Biden.

“But there’s a lot of people out there not sure, so we’ve got a lot, we’ve got to overcome a lot of things,” Biden added.

jfc, so to Genocide Joe, the biggest problem we face is that others think it was Israel that blew up the hospital, and they just need some convincing!?!?

I got a fundraiser email from Bernie. The absolute imperial bootlicker fuck.

“ The barbarous terrorist act committed by Hamas against innocent men, women, and children in Israel was a horrific act that must be strongly condemned by the entire world. There is absolutely no justification for shooting down hundreds of young people at a music festival, killing babies in cold blood and taking hostages. In my view, the state of Israel has the absolute right to defend itself against Hamas' terrorism.

It is also clear that this attack will only embolden the extremists on both sides who see violence as the only answer. It also creates the immediate possibility of a wider war in the area with unforeseen and dangerous consequences.”

Genocide Joe is 100% losing the next election now right? Michigan has a huge Muslim population and they’re one of the 4 states where votes matter.

Wall Street Journal:

"The bomb that was thrown at Baptist Hospital was an American MK-84."

Could be incorrect. Needs verifying.

Wake up, feel like shit, check the news, feel like shit, check hexbear, feel like shit

fun days

I wanna add here that if the reports of field hospitals going up in Galilee are true then this 100% guarantees that the ground operation is now happening. These are preparations for something they know they will need, not a "just in case" thing.

This war is happening.
