Israel is involved here so that’s not a joke.

Sorry, I reused someone else’s screenshot.

IDF has a long history of blowing up kids playing soccer on the beach, and shooting kids for throwing stones and let them bleed to death. It doesn’t really seem like they try to determine threat status.

TIL, thanks. I’m a bit surprised to hear about racism experienced by African-origin Jews in Israel given that, but at the same time the extremists there are pretty extreme so I probably shouldn’t surprised.

The recent rate increase of the genocide is resulting in more people understanding the inhumanity of the (mostly-European) settler colonialists.

Thanks for the reply! I did find a discussion saying Deflect would have US infrastructure, so it seems like the CDN is going to be the hard part.

This is very misleading. The actual content says that they knew the mount could fail, but didn’t think it was a flight-safety risk…probably because there would still be two other good engines. It took 55 years (1970->2025) for aviation enthusiasts and pilots (presumably also Boeing) to realize that a wing engine failing also had an appreciable chance of taking out the tail engine. And that ISN’T what happened with AA191 in 1979: in that crash, the engine damaged the wing and hydraulics, not the tail engine. So they fixed that problem four decades ago.

I’m all for raking the McDonell-Douglass culture that destroyed Boeing over the coals, but that doesn’t seem to be the situation here.

Additional context, which only makes it worse:

The president then said he disagreed with Kirk on one thing. “He did not hate his opponents, he wanted the best for them,” he said, prompting some laughs. “That’s where I disagree with Charlie. I hate my opponents and I don’t want what’s best for them.”

That’s an excerpt from BBC’s coverage. Trump also spewed hatred.

So people who believe in democracy should believe that isn’t the place for a state that wants to deem itself “Jewish” then.

I think a it takes a real rube to believe a group that massacres entire villages would never lie to you.

You don’t say…

BBC News and three leading news agencies have expressed desperate concern for journalists in Gaza, who they say are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families.

Did…did you read the first sentence in the article, or just the headline? Things are bad enough under Israel’s siege that news agencies are worried about journalists starving too.

Israelis are expanding their West Bank land grabs and even terrorizing Christian Palestinian-American villages there.

Separately, the US embassy in Jerusalem has said it condemns recent violence by Israeli settlers against the Christian town of Taybeh in the West Bank. Most of the land there is owned by Palestinian-Americans and, according to locals, some 300 residents are US passport holders. Attacks, including by masked men torching cars and attacking homes, have ramped up. On Monday, settlers set fields ablaze close to a fifth-Century church, leading to a call for international action from the town’s priests.

The West Bank shows us that for Gaza, Hamas surrendering would at best change the speed of the Zionist genocide of Palestinians, but not put a stop to it.

European colonizers doing European colonizer things, bringing western values to the savages.

It’s really cool - it was deliberately designed with the goal of improving literacy.

Part of how you know Israel doesn’t care about civilian lives is that if the shootings were “justifiable” to defend the aid suppliers, anyone who did care would find a safer way to deliver aid.

They’re just perpetually the victims. They starve and slowly genocide a populace and they’re the victims when the populace stands up for itself. They bomb Iran and are the victim when Iran retaliates.

It’s quite common, but it’s also very expensive so many people who would benefit from it cannot afford it. Our insurance system is problematic enough that few therapists accept payment via insurance rather than directly.

There is talk of a lot of things. Did she provide sources, or is it like Trump’s “people are saying…”?

You’re correct that the US has adopted a terrible definition of antisemitism that conflates the state of Israel and the actions of its genocidal apartheid government with Judaism.

Someone recently shared the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism with me, which I find to be a much more reasonable definition of antisemitism.
