  • Remember Netanyahu saying that the people in Gaza could return to their homes in the north after the Genocide is over? They kinda forgot about that.

  • Israel's far-right minister Smotrich calls to occupy Gaza, take over south Lebanon

    Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that the Israeli army should create a security zone in southern Lebanon should Hezbollah not heed an Israeli ultimatum to withdraw from the border area. He also called on the security cabinet to order a permanent military presence "in all of the Gaza Strip."

    While on a visit to Israel's north, the far-right leader of the Religious Zionism party said that "the war must end with Hezbollah's total military defeat. It must be presented with an ultimatum to stop firing and withdraw its forces… and if [Hezbollah] doesn't fully comply – the Israeli army must launch a defensive attack … deep in Lebanese territory, including a ground incursion and an Israeli military takeover of the southern Lebanon area."

    Regarding Gaza, Smotrich said that the IDF must have a permanent military presence in the Strip. Military outposts, he added, should be erected "in the north, center and south of the Gaza Strip, to prevent a situation in which Hamas rebuilds its military infrastructure and [reasserts] civilian control."

  • When it came to israel we managed to pull a gazillion weapons out of thin air. And created special teams to rush weapons shipments to a country committing Genocide instead of one being invaded.

    Or bypassing congress, doing secret arms sales, any of the plethora of ways that we use to support israel committing Genocide could have been used to help Ukraine win.

    Physicians for Human Rights Israel’s Clarification on the Organization’s November 2023 Position Paper on Sexual Violence | רופאים לזכויות אדם

    In the extensive investigations conducted in the months following the publication of the position paper in November, some testimonies referenced within it have been disputed or deemed unverifiable, and more may face similar scrutiny in the future. We regret their inclusion in the position paper. As mentioned, a substantial portion of the information that is now available was not accessible when the document was originally drafted. The new information that has come to light further reinforces our call for an investigation into the subject. It is crucial to recognize that due to the fragmented nature of traumatic memories, they are often expressed in incomplete, confused, or contradictory ways. Therefore, it is neither accurate nor just for persons lacking the required expertise and tools to assess the credibility of witnesses. Accordingly, moving forward, we will rely on the Patten report and, when available, additional reports and documents produced by competent investigative bodies. We will continue to monitor their findings and reports while drawing necessary professional conclusions.

    Since October 7, the Israeli government and other entities have been exploiting reports of sexual violence in a manipulative and cynical manner. These reports have been utilized as part of a campaign to dehumanize Palestinians and as a propaganda tool to justify Israel’s brutal military assault on the Gaza Strip. This assault has resulted, and continues to result, in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of innocent civilians, the forced displacement and starvation of most of the Gaza Strip’s population, and extensive destruction of civilian infrastructure, including health facilities. We are appalled by this cynical exploitation of the victims’ suffering, condemn it, and view it as a complete abandonment of any moral integrity.

  • The decline of Intel..
  • Oh geez so concidental that Nvidia started pushing for more investments in israel after israeli Michael Kagan became CTO of Nvidia in 2020.

    There's definitely no ideological Zionist thing going on here either. Just a great idea to do massive investments in an unstable Apartheid state in the middle east instead of in America itself.

    Still the biggest difference here is the amount. A $25 Billion fab is very risky right now and practically ties Intel to israel.

  • The decline of Intel..
  • There's absolutely no connection to a company doing their largest investment ever in a country actively committing Genocide which has a high likelihood to be the center of ww3 and idealogical support of that coutnry. None whatsoever.

    It's telling how saying TikTok is owned by China is something that while also technically untrue never gets so many liberals off their chairs to debate technicalities.

  • Israel has software for mass surveillance (wire tapping, data scraping etc) but in terms of physical surveillance abilities they are lacking (aside from the Big Brother camera system and auto gun turrets they installed in the West Bank).

    The UK also ran 200+ spy missions for israel above Gaza, more than one per day.

  • And I can use all this same logic for TikTok not being owned by China. Am I supposed to call anyone suggesting otherwise Sinophobic now?

    When israel gives Intel massive subsidies to buid fabs there do you believe there is no ownership nor influence involved? There is absolutely no way that Intel can have such deep direct ties with israel without israel having a massive stake and influence in the company.

    Deciding to build a $25 Billion factory in israel at this current moment in time is absolutely bonkers and impossible to explain in any other way than some serious Zionist shenanigans going on.

    US focused on hunting down Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, in bid to end Gaza war

    The United States is focused on tracking down Hamas's Gaza chief, Yahya Sinwar, amid a new push by the White House to help Israel declare "total victory" so it can bring an end to the war on Gaza, US officials have told Middle East Eye.

    On Monday, The Washington Post reported that the US was offering Israel new intelligence to help track Hamas leaders in exchange for Israel not launching the assault on Rafah.

    That report was carried by some Israeli news outlets under the title: US withholding "sensitive intelligence" on Hamas from Israel. However, several current and former US and Arab diplomats, as well as defence and intelligence officials, told MEE it was highly unlikely the US would withhold information on Hamas from Israel.

    Israeli army appears to be using Gaza hospital, school as bases, Washington Post reports

    Israeli soldiers appear to be using the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in the Gaza Strip as a br for military operations, and, since March, also a school in the village of Juhor ad Dik, which is located about one kilometer from the border with Israel and was destroyed in the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip, indicated by aerial photographs that the Washington Post published on Friday.

    The report states that the satellite imagery documents the construction of earth berms around the hospital, which halted operations early in the war, in late November, and near the school in Juhor ad Dik in the second half of March.

    Israel troops continue posting abuse footage despite pledge to act

    Images shared online include Palestinian detainees draped in the Israeli flag and held in stress positions.

    Israel troops continue posting abuse footage despite pledge to act

    The BBC has analysed 45 photos and videos, which include those of detainees draped in Israeli flags.

    International law says detainees must not be exposed to unnecessary humiliation or public curiosity, yet human rights experts say the posting of detention footage does just that.

    Despite the BBC's previous reporting on Israeli soldiers' social media misconduct, and the military's subsequent promise to act on our findings, a former Israeli soldier, Ori Givati, says he is far from shocked to hear that this activity is continuing.

    During our earlier investigation, we noticed - and began looking into - a similar pattern of behaviour in the West Bank, which has experienced a spike in violence over the same period.

    Gaza: Israelis Attacking Known Aid Worker Locations

    (Jerusalem, May 14, 2024) – Israeli forces have carried out at least eight strikes on aid workers’ convoys and premises in Gaza since October 2023, even though aid groups had provided their coordinates to the Israeli authorities to ensure their protection, Human Rights Watch said today. Israeli authorities did not issue advance warnings to any of the aid organizations before the strikes, which killed or injured at least 31 aid workers and those with them. More than 250 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since the October 7 assault in Israel, according to the UN.

    The eight incidents reveal fundamental flaws with the so-called deconfliction system, meant to protect aid workers and allow them to safely deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

    “Israel’s killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers was shocking and should never have happened under international law,” said Belkis Wille, associate crisis, conflict, and arms director at Human Rights Watch. “Israel’s allies need to recognize that these attacks that have killed aid workers have happened over and over again, and they need to stop.”

    The Israel Defense Forces said it had opened an investigation into the deadly incident, which it said happened when the soldiers were hit by tank cross-fire in Jabalia.

    5 Israeli soldiers killed by friendly fire in northern Gaza

    The Israeli military said Thursday that five soldiers were killed and seven injured in a friendly fire incident in northern Gaza, amid renewed battles in the area against regrouped Hamas militants.

    "An initial investigation into the deaths of five IDF soldiers reveals that IDF tanks, located dozens of meters away, identified a weapon and fired shells at an IDF force nearby," the IDF said in a statement.

    "This force had entered the northern part of Gaza and occupied buildings along a logistic route. The tanks fired two shells for unclear reasons, resulting in seven more soldiers being injured, three severely."

    Palestinian truckers fear for safety after aid convoy for Gaza wrecked

    HEBRON, West Bank, May 14 (Reuters) - Palestinian hauliers said on Tuesday they feared for the security of aid convoys to Gaza, a day after Israeli protesters wrecked trucks carrying humanitarian supplies bound for the enclave, which is facing a severe hunger crisis.

    "While the trucks were uploaded with products at the crossing settlers attacked the trucks and they destroyed the products and set fire in trucks," he said, saying Israeli soldiers had stood by as the attack took place.

    Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu Sitta's Schengen-wide travel ban overturned

    Germany's travel ban against British-Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta has been overturned, according to a leading legal advocacy group in the UK.

    On 12 April, Abu Sitta was detained at an airport in Germany and was refused entry into the country. He was travelling there to attend a conference on Palestine that he had received an invitation for.

    He was then slapped with a Schengen-wide travel ban for one year, which barred him from travelling to 29 countries across Europe.

    "This decision is a significant turning point in challenging the hostile environment that Palestinian human rights advocates like Professor Ghassan have faced in recent months," Gorski, Abu Sitta's lawyer, said in a statement.

    "This decision means that Ghassan’s freedom of expression and freedom of movement are no longer under threat, and he can speak out about what he witnessed in Gaza. This victory cannot be overstated.”
