Ah yes, more ethnic cleansing because “hey, they’re all Arab anyways”. Some of the most racist shit I’ve seen today.

I think the key term being used is “mercenary” though

Mercenaries are definitely not all professionals - who do you think are the boots on the ground for all the proxy wars happening today?

Turkey and Russia were flying out Syrian mercenaries to north Africa to fight each other over Libya.

It’s extensively published in military research papers that guns for hire (mercenaries) are becoming much more ubiquitous in today’s proxy wars.

“These IDF soldiers are simply here to protect the prayer groups. Please don’t antagonize the soldiers or prayer groups by simply existing, they might feel threatened”

BBC carrying water for the facists in the UK to ban kids from the internet because they might get radicalized with all the shit the fascists are doing (or indoctrinated by fascist influencers).

Heavens forbid that they actually attack the companies and the algorithms that harm the kids.

Soooo genocide?

I wonder if infantino is going to get the US and Iranian delegates to try and shake hands on stage like he did with the Palestinian delegate and the Israeli pro-genocide delegate. You know…for peace…

But…but…the fifa peace prize!

I don’t know why you would assume that they would go further on the offensive.

All studies, publications, and reports show that if Israel didn’t have protection from retaliation, that they would be opposed to offensive operations if they experienced even a fraction of the horrors that they commit on others.

Israel always wanted to be in perpetual conflict to continue it’s expansion. Conflict means the need to have superior firepower and defensive capabilities which help continue perpetrating it’s genocide unabated - it’s what Bibi pushed for these many decades.

But if you take away the superior defensive capabilities and the risk of continued aggression (which is why there was opposition to funding the Iron Dome in the US) then Israel would think twice about it’s expansionist policies.

I wouldn’t be so sure

Last week, Israel’s death penalty drive entered its next stage: Lawmakers in the Knesset voted 93-0 to create a special military court to try Palestinians accused of perpetrating the October 7 attacks. As Sari Bashi argued, the new tribunal will be designed to subvert due process rights — and by allowing for confessions extracted through torture, will likely lead to mass executions.

On April 29, the Haifa Magistrate’s Court convicted 31-year-old activist Mohammad Taher Jabareen and 42-year-old attorney Ahmad Khalifa of “indirect incitement to terrorism” and “identification with a terrorist organization,” charges that carry a combined maximum sentence of eight years in prison. The decision came after more than 30 months of legal proceedings — during which Khalifa and Jabareen were held in administrative detention for four and eight months, respectively, before being released to house arrest.

So bringing the death penalty for “terrorists”, then politically run courts to label people as “terrorists”. It’s just genocide with legal backing, and now Israel found another way to genocide the Palestinians with Israeli nationality.

highlighted the impact that shared perceptions of the enemy can have: sections of the left-wing to far-left scene expressed solidarity with a supposed ‘Palestinian liberation struggle’ during protests."

Oh Germany school pamphlets demonizing the left, that’s fun…

Classic German “centrism” delivered condescendingly by a pot-bellied old German man as if it’s enlightenment. “We’ll blame everyone from the left and right under the guise of antisemitism, but not our own policies to supporting a genocide when people are rightfully angry”.

Ah yes, cancelling rights (i.e. turning rights to privileges) and using politically charged litigation against citizens, also subverting their rights, is not a threat to democracy, of course! It’s what democracies are known for! Lol

Not enough, France - sanctions.

Sorry, the wording seemed like you were saying, in general as an addendum to the prior comment, that countries shouldn’t engage in the death penalty if they want to be civilized.

Um…Israel voted the death penalty by hanging for anyone they deem a terrorist. Gvir had a big hand in pushing that legislation forward…

They’re not civilized at all…

Basque country is one of the many autonomous regions within Spain - based on Spanish constitution, there are varying degrees of autonomy and basque is one of the most autonomous regions, nearly seeing itself as it’s own country and would probably split off from Spain if their economy wasn’t so dependent on remaining Spanish.

I understand it, I just have a dislike for how the “news” which is supposed to be informative and deliver truth (in an ideal world) needs to tip toe around the whims of a genocidal state while not (rightfully) doing the same for other countries like Russia.

“Allege” - the bruises and videos are there.

If you see Bibi’s statement about it, he only condemns that the actions aren’t in line with “Israel’s values” (which is bullshit), but goes on to say that all of these flotilla members are Hamas operatives and that they should be punished.

So speaking out of both sides of his mouth in the same breath.

What about all the young IOF prison guards that gang up and systemically rape and beat Palestinian prisoners?
