Within …30 days? As in, after the US election? What a joke.

How would you rewrite it, o paragon of impartiality?

This is about an Indian-Canadian being assassinated in Canada by the Indian government.

None of the corruption cases publicly reveal what reading materials the fallen cadres had accessed. But a list of banned titles published by China Digital Times offers some possibilities. The list includes writings on Chinese politics and history, including the Tiananmen Square massacre and the disastrous Mao-era policies that saw millions die from famine, violence, and political purges. There are books scrutinising the modern CCP’s politics and power, or sharing the views of political enemies and critics like Hong Kong tycoon and activist Jimmy Lai, the exiled Tibetan Dalai Lama, and Bo Xilai, the fallen political foe of Xi Jinping. Hillary Clinton’s memoir is on the list, as is Machiavelli’s The Prince, and Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism.

This is the framing of information warfare. There are no facts, no truths, only “narratives” that are deployed by adversarial actors.

In such a framing, it doesn’t matter whether the IDF ordering the displacement of 400k people is legal, legitimate, suspect, in good faith or in furtherance of ethnic cleansing. All that matters is whose narrative dominates the information space.

This framing already gives up on debate. Your response does not refute anything I wrote, does not engage with anything. You just labelled my argument a terrorist narrative and you’re done. You’ve counterbalanced the “narrative”.

But, my brother in Lemmy, even we were to accept that Hamas is saying this for this reason, can’t you see that it’s based on exactly the legitimate fear and reasonable expectation of Palestinian civilians that Israel is NOT a trustworthy, humanitarian actor here? The Hamas propaganda would not have a leg to stand on if it weren’t for 30 years of illegal settlement in the West Bank and for the Israeli governing coalition not being dependent on the fascist right.

Expelling 400k people might be spinned as “getting civilians out of a combat area” if Israel were not a state that systematically settles conquered land (to the tune of 700k settlers in the West Bank) and if its government didn’t have ministers (on whom the ruling coalition depends to stay in power) that are explicitly saying that they want to do exactly this again.

Like, bro, who the fuck do you think is reading these things you write? Umpa Loompas from Jupiter?

Honestly, it’s like a well known organ trafficker is saying trust me bro, I’m putting you in this ice bath and giving you this sedative and prepping these surgery tools because I’m trying to remove a tumor from next to your kidneys.

If it’s dead and in Vietnam it’s Vietcong, amirite?

The Italian defense minister explained it pretty well: https://youtu.be/Ox0AzK7iVe4?si=1D4m8M7B-DIYcBci

There is a UNSC resolution, if Israel has a problem with that, they have to take it up with the UNSC.

You know what, that earns him a lot of respect points in my eyes. This is a good king.

So Harris should pander better. Otherwise she’s clearly not taking the seriousness of a Trump win seriously enough. Pander better.

I don’t understand why it is taken for granted that if Stein wasn’t a candidate the people who vote for her would be voting for the Democrats instead. Just as likely they would not vote at all or vote for some other protest candidate.

Because as usual religion can be used to argue for as well as against a political question. The only self coherent framework that has as its logical conclusion Israeli policy is nationalism.

Edit: plus, a nationalist explanatory framework is least susceptible to the moral hazard of anti-Semitism. Israeli policy is not exceptional, it’s as banal as Serbian or Azerbaijani ethnic nationalism, revanchism, jingoism and bigotry.

More like nationalism.

They’re acting like rabid fucking dogs.

If god existed, what the Hind Rajab Foundation does would be exactly god’s work.

In a world where Never Again would mean Never Again For Anyone, this is what the Simon Wiesenthal Centre should be doing as opposed to apartheid and genocide apologia.

“Be evil”

If only there were international organizations that could enforce standards. Like the WTO for example.

Oooh can we do Cyprus next then? What do you mean no?

Unhinged much?

Sure buddy. Thanks for the clarification.

Edit: only Palestine is not a state. There is the PA and there might be something to actually condemn about a “martyrs fund” but that’s about it. And Hamas is obviously not controlled in any way by the PA. On the other hand, Israel is a regional superpower with a victim compelx and a genocidal army. In my list of dangerous maniacs, the Israeli state, its army and intelligence services are way way higher than the …PA. But regardless. Good to hear a Zionist condemn Israel for state sponsored terror. Have a nice evening.
