~~There are claims emerging that the bulk of the civilian casualties were perpetrated by Isisrael shooting at the crowds running away with machinegun fire from repeated helicopter sweeps. This only emerged a few hours ago so will take time to verify and research. While Isnotreal is definetely not above even killing its own settlers for atrocity propaganda, the findings could be pretty damning.~~

Oh and would you look at that, in the time it took me to finish work and take the bus home, there really is evidence that Isisreal literally did in fact, fire on the concert participants with several sweeps of fucking 30mm autocannons from Apache helicopters, opting to shoot apart anything that moved, friend or foe. I had suspicions and heard claims of false flags since the afternoon of 7 October, but nothing that really constituted hard evidence, despite its plausibility. And the "pretty damning findings" turned out to be correct.

Of course not that it will matter to a regiment of 500,000 Andrev Breiviks, but another bit of evidence for a bit of justified .

Eliav Bellend also came to the realization that Pissreal's bombs can't reach anywhere remotely even close to South Africa, hence the racism factory on 428 King's Drive, Lynnwood/Pretoria working overtime.

police in the UK have arrested over 80 counter-protesters, who were chanting things such as "you aren't English anymore" to the police

at least 300k people there. look at the pictures, they're pretty incredible

At the top of the hour I checked MSNBC to see what was happening in Gaza. Stupid me - "Remember - these results are preliminary..." They're breathlessly covering the US elections even though nearly all (all?) results are hours away.

When you're defintinely, absolutely "not shooting at the hospital and there is no siege" at the Al-Shifa Hospital. An IDF tweet...

"There is no shooting at the hospital and there is no siege. The East Side of the hospital remains open."

There's a IDF turd speaking in Arabic with English subtitles. I wonder what the propaganda is in English language vids.

Hunter Biden subpoenaed

Was just reading about the Trump/Kushner “peace plan” they proposed. I mean, most Israeli proposals are dogshit, but this was so bad. Palestinians give the Israelis everything they want up front and then maybe - MAYBE - years down the line IF the Palestinians keep to a huge list of impossible commitments that the US and Israel totally won’t renege on… then maybe the Palestinians get something sorta kinda like a state. It was so obviously just Kushner transcribing Netanyahu’s wish list.

And Trump is such a genius, he thought a deal was possible by taking Jerusalem and the settlements off the table. Like, tell the Palestinians no matter what they can’t have any Jerusalem and the settlements will continue, and that would somehow make a deal MORE possible.

Oh my god the CIAnarcho-Bastard is back

FLEEING SOUTH, PALESTINIANS DESCRIBE DEATH AND MISERY

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — A stream of thousands of Palestinians have taken what few belongings they can carry and made their way on foot Friday to the relative safety of the southern Gaza Strip after Israel announced an hourslong window for safe passage.

More than 720,000 displaced people across the Gaza Strip were sheltering at 150 facilities run by UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, as of Thursday.

One woman who was displaced from Beit Lahiya in the north, Umm al-Adhan, spoke to The Associated Press on Gaza’s main highway as as people trudged past heading southward. She said she had been sheltering in a UNRWA school.

“Yesterday, as we were leaving the school, they fired at us,” she said. “Ten people were killed, including my nephew.”

A badly wounded child begged for water in his final moments.

“I could not find water to give him. He died in front of me,” she said, crying.

Israel estimates that more than 850,000 of the 1.1 people in northern Gaza have left, and later Friday said over 100,000 Palestinians have gone south in the past two days.

At shelters, the lack of water makes it hard to maintain even basic hygiene.

Families are packed into a school building in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, with tents set up in the playground, washing hung up to dry in corridors and children sleeping on mats next to their worried parents.

Suzan Wahidi, from Gaza City, says as many as seven people might share a mattress — if they can find one.

“Our children are now suffering from an epidemic, ” she said. “They suffer from all the diseases that you can imagine, diarrhea, vomiting, fever. There are no medicines, there is no food to provide us.”

Newest video of fighting inside Gaza. I spy a tank with a "cope cage" (awful term). Al-Qassam Brigades claiming 13 Merkavas damaged/destroyed so far today. This area seems a little more built up than previous videos. The deeper the IDF ventures into the urban areas, though, the denser the tunnels get and the more fighters can come out and ambush at once. Losses will probably escalate from here.

Key takeaways from the G7 meeting in Tokyo

Top diplomats of the G7 met in Tokyo today with the continuing war in Gaza high on the agenda. Here are the key takeaways from that meeting:

The ministers “unequivocally” condemned Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel and its subsequent rocket attacks, and emphasised Israel’s right to defend itself.

They expressed “deepest sympathy” for all civilians killed in the conflict so far.

The diplomats called for “humanitarian pauses” and for the creation of aid corridors, but stopped short of calling for a ceasefire.

The ministers denounced the rise in “extremist” settler violence in the occupied West Bank and expressed support for a two-state solution.

They also called on Iran to refrain from supporting Hamas and Hezbollah, and to use its influence to de-escalate regional tensions.

"Israeli" media has broadcast a video of a military bulldozer driving over a prone Palestinian civilian

I think it's time for me to log off

Hezbollah has accelerated operations yet further today - more anti-tank missile attacks, more drones, more rockets, etc. Up the escalation ladder we climb. This clearly proves that Hezbollah is too weak of a force to counter Israel and is uninterested in a regional war.

Middle East Monitor: Spain ‘neo Nazi’ mercenary among others helping Israel in Gaza

Long story short, per the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, this guy Pedro Diaz Flores who fought with other neo nazis in Ukraine last year, said that he's being paid by Israel now. Flores says that mercenaries are only being used for security support and not directly participating in the fighting. He, personally, is stationed in the Golan Heights. An additional note of context about the history of mercenaries working with the IDF follows:

“We are in charge of the security of the checkpoints and access control on the borders of Gaza and Jordan. There are many PMCs [private military companies] here and they share the work. Traditionally they have guarded border terminals between Eliat and Aqaba,” [Flores] added.

Local subreddit is pissed about the Palestine protest today

I noticed something I hadn't seen since the war started. An American correspondent in Israel streaming live wearing business clothes. Is this meant to mean that - bad pun intended - it's business as usual in Tel Aviv?

Also an MNSBC anchor just called the four hour pause a "window of hope". And then she asked a go-to military guy (an ex-supreme commander of NATO) what he thought of it. In unsurprising news - he's a MIC mouthpiece.

I just saw a dead child in Gaza with their head blown open on twitter without a graphic content warning.

I understand what the poster was trying to do but who are you helping at that point?

If you see a gofundme request for the , report it. I've already seen a couple on social media.

According to their FAQ:

Can I raise funds for the military?

No. While you may raise funds for humanitarian aid, fundraising to support any armed conflict is not allowed, regardless of the country. This includes funding weapons, protective gear, defensive equipment, travel to participate in any armed conflict except as required by a national government, or goods and services for soldiers, territorial defense or security force, and more.

Pope forcibly removes a leading US conservative, Texas bishop Strickland

Bishop Strickland is a conservative who is active on social media and has been a fierce critic of the pontiff and some of his priorities

Pope Francis on Saturday forcibly removed the bishop of Tyler, Texas, a firebrand conservative prelate active on social media who has been a fierce critic of the pontiff and has come to symbolize the polarization within the U.S. Catholic hierarchy.

A one-line statement from the Vatican said Francis had “relieved” Bishop Joseph Strickland of the pastoral governance of Tyler and appointed the bishop of Austin as the temporary administrator.

Strickland, 65, has emerged as a leading critic of Francis, accusing him in a tweet earlier this year of “undermining the deposit of faith.” He has been particularly critical of Francis’ recent meeting on the future of the Catholic Church during which hot-button issues were discussed, including ways to better welcome LGBTQ+ Catholics.

Earlier this year, the Vatican sent in investigators to look into his governance of the diocese, amid reports that priests and laypeople in Tyler had complained and that he was making unorthodox claims.

The Vatican never released the findings and Strickland had insisted he wouldn’t resign voluntarily, saying in media interviews that he was given a mandate to serve as bishop in 2012 by the late Pope Benedict XVI and couldn’t abdicate that responsibility.

The conservative website LifeSiteNews, which said it interviewed Strickland on Saturday, quoted him as saying one of the reasons given for his ouster was his refusal to implement Francis’ 2021 restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass.

Francis’ crackdown on the old liturgy has become a rallying cry for traditionalist Catholics opposed to pontiff’s progressive bent. Strickland told LifeSite he refused to implement the restrictions “because I can’t starve out part of my flock.”

He said he stood by his decision, would do it again and “I feel very much at peace in the Lord and the truth that he died for.”

His firing sparked an immediate outcry among some conservatives and traditionalists who had held up Strickland as a leading point of Catholic reference to counter Francis’ progressive reforms. Michael J. Matt, editor of the traditionalist newspaper The Remnant, wrote that with the firing, Francis was “actively trying to bury fidelity to the Church of Jesus Christ.”

“This is total war,” Matt wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Francis is a clear and present danger not only to Catholics the world over but also to the whole world itself.”

The two Vatican investigators sent into investigate Strickland — Bishop Dennis Sullivan of Camden, N.J., and the retired bishop of Tucson, Ariz., Bishop Emeritus Gerald Kicanas — “conducted an exhaustive inquiry into all aspects of the governance and leadership of the diocese,” said the head of the church in Texas, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo

After their investigation, a recommendation was made to Francis that “the continuation in office of Bishop Strickland was not feasible,” DiNardo said in a statement Saturday.

The Vatican asked Strickland to resign Nov. 9, but he declined, prompting Francis to remove him from office two days later, DiNardo’s statement said.

It is rare for the pope to forcibly remove a bishop from office. Bishops are required to offer to resign when they reach 75. When the Vatican uncovers issues with governance or other problems that require a bishop to leave office before then, the Vatican usually seeks to pressure him to offer to resign for the good of his diocese and the church.

That was the case when another U.S. bishop was forced out earlier this year following a Vatican investigation. Knoxville, Tenn. Bishop Richard Stika resigned voluntarily, albeit under pressure, following allegations he mishandled sex abuse allegations, and his priests complained about his leadership and behavior.

But with Strickland, the Vatican statement made clear he had not offered to resign, and that Francis had instead “relieved” him from his job.

Francis has not been shy about his concerns about the right wing in the U.S. Catholic hierarchy, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.

Strickland backed Vigano’s conspiracy theories (theories rather than conspiracies themselves, right?) about the COVID-19 pandemic, and on Saturday Vigano wrote that Strickland’s ouster showed a “cowardly form of authoritarianism” by Francis. “This affair will reveal who stands with the true Church of Christ and who chooses to stand with His declared enemies,” Vigano wrote on X.
