Israeli military says it likely killed American in West Bank

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi during a protest was "unprovoked and unjustified" and called for “fundamental changes” to the U.S. ally's conduct.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

The IDF's excuse is "we meant to shoot a different unarmed protestor in the head, not the unarmed American citizen".

I love how we're supposed to believe that every Israeli sniper is Mr. Magoo. Especially because tens of millions of our tax dollars get spent to have American cops trained by the IDF.

Secretary of State Blinken says,

that "in our judgment, Israeli security forces need to make some fundamental changes in the way that they operate in the West Bank" and said Washington would be "making that clear to the senior-most members of the Israeli government."

Oh he's super serious this time!

In call with Blinken, father of killed aid worker urges tougher US stance on Israel in Gaza

A grieving father who lost his son, Jacob Flickinger, after Israeli airstrikes killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
apnews.com apnews.com

Flickinger said Blinken did not pledge any new policy actions but said the Biden administration had sent a strong message to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the relationship between the United States and Israel may change if the Israeli Defense Forces do not show more care for the fate of civilians in Gaza.

What a fucking farce. Reminder that the World Central Kitchen murders were not an accident.

Trigger warning all over this post.



Oct 7th, almost everyone can cite and describe what happened. But what about prior events? Heres just one I can remember.

From the 2018 Gaza protests:

www.haaretz.com

'42 knees in one day': Israeli snipers open up about shooting Gaza protesters

***
www.haaretz.com www.haaretz.com

The multi-year protest in question via UN report:




Post Oct 7th:
How many know about the aftermath of Oct 7th? This info isnt widespread for whatever reason (yet everyone can cite what happened Oct 7th)

Yes there is a drone video of this; Israel denied it was them for weeks, then admitted it but said the starving population was attacking the trucks or something:

Flour massacre - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

GAZA: More than 10 children a day lose a limb in three months of brutal conflict (I believe most if not all without anesthesia):

Quote from yesterdays debate, Harris - "Well, let's understand how we got here. On Oct. 7, Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. Many of them young people who were simply attending a concert. Women were horribly raped."

The same language was used during her DNC speech, a month after these events (im specifically referencing "leaked video" section but the whole page is relevant as well):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_against_Palestinians_during_the_Israel–Hamas_war

The response to the arrests?

"Subsequently, nine Israeli reservists, including a major, were arrested on suspicion they had sodomized him and suspicion of mistreating the detainee. Protestors, including Knesset members, broke into the base where the reservists were being detained, demanding their release."

Politians and news anchors debate whether there should be a right to rape:
wrap.substack.com

Israel debates the right to rape

I don't like writing it any more than you like reading it.
wrap.substack.com wrap.substack.com

One of the rapists goes on tv:
.

Later takes off mask:

Trying to make the rapist a celebrity?

www.presstv.ir

‘Depraved’: Israeli soldier who raped Palestinian detainee lionized on Israeli TV

An Israeli soldier who raped a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman prison has turned into a TV celebrity, showing how depraved the Israeli settler society is.

You cant write this shit.

Something that sticks out in my mind, is the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022. An American citizen of Palestinian descent. And not even a scary MUSLIM. She was a Christian lady. And by all reports was an absolutely wonderful person who was just snuffed out.

www.nbcnews.com

Shireen Abu Akleh's family pushes for justice a year after her killing

FBI agents investigating the shooting of the Palestinian American journalist in an Israeli military raid have still not spoken to key witnesses in the case.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

Like the 26-year-old American, Aysenur, Shireen was shot in the head by an IDF sniper. The IDF lied about it until that became untenable. Then, to add insult to injury, IDF soldiers attacked her fucking funeral.

apnews.com

Israeli police beat pallbearers at journalist's funeral

Israeli police pushed and beat pallbearers during the funeral for slain Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, causing them to briefly drop the casket.
apnews.com apnews.com

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1830696611497775441

If another country's army executed an American civilian in cold blood and then desecrated their funeral, that country would be finding out why Americans don't have free healthcare.

This is completely bullshit by the way. Shouldn't even have to debunk this extremely tired racist lie:
www.springfieldnewssun.com

County: No evidence of August claim that Haitians took geese at Springfield park

Clark County officials said Wednesday morning that they cannot substantiate a new claim alleging Haitian immigrants were killing and/or eating wildlife.
www.springfieldnewssun.com www.springfieldnewssun.com

I've heard this old bullshit my entire life about whatever immigrant community is the current target. Consider this a warning that I will not allow this idiotic thing to spread on this forum.

Also a reminder that hate speech violates our rules.

Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid Origins: Scientists Believe They Now Know Where It Came From

The asteroid impact in Mexico left deposits similar to those made by other asteroids from the outer solar system.
www.cnet.com www.cnet.com

Scientists have good reason to believe that the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, unlike most meteorite strikes on Earth, originated from the outer Solar System, far beyond Jupiter. Seems like good news, because it suggests a killer asteroid is less likely to sneak up on us in the future.

In blow to Newsmax, judge rules Smartmatic’s case over 2020 election lies will go to trial this month​


A major defamation case against Newsmax will proceed to trial later this month, a judge ruled Thursday, dealing a blow to the right-wing network and setting the stage for the 2020 election to be relitigated during the final stretch of the 2024 race.

Speaking of JD Vance who was pushing this Haitian slander. I cant say I am surprised but I found this article illuminating:

www.ninaillingworth.com

Nina-Bytes: The People and Ideas JD Vance Applauds | on NIDC

As more of JD Vance's odious worldview is exposed to the light of day, it's time for the media to start calling the GOP VP nominee what he really is: a fascist.
www.ninaillingworth.com

EDIT: BTW this author was ringing the alarm bells ~6 months or so before the insurrection happened. Its kinda hard to read because there are always sources posted in the text that you should click on and briefly take a glance at while reading the article. But I have found the dense reading well wroth it.

I wonder why Trump surrounds himself with people with white supremacist beliefs:? And easily argued fascists?

He had Stephen Miller at the debate, Miller I would guess was on his plane flying in. Same Miller who helped write Trump speeches and was the architect of Trumps administrations immigration policy.

This Stephen Miller, one of many articles written by the Southern Poverty Law Center:

www.splcenter.org

Stephen Miller’s Affinity for White Nationalism Revealed in Leaked Emails

In the run-up to the 2016 election, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller promoted white nationalist literature, pushed racist immigration stories and obsessed over the loss of Confederate symbols after Dylann Roof’s murderous rampage, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch.
www.splcenter.org www.splcenter.org

Thats not even including self described white nationalist Laura Loomer who was on his plane as well. Thats low hanging fruit at this point.

JD is a fascist but he became prominent because of the Liberal media. They were patting him on the head on MSNBC and CNN 4-5 years ago.

I gotta ask...is anybody going to stand up for the concept of immigration in a nation built completely on immigrants? Kamala laughs and says "how extreme!" after Trump made the eating dogs comment. Yeah, it is extreme, Kamala. It's Nazi shit. So why are you running on copying Trump's 2020 immigration policy?

Really fucking bleak. There is no floor to the depravity in this country.

I gotta be honest. I did find the dog thing funny in the moment. It stopped being funny for me after the bomb threats against elementary schools started.

All of this shit is what's known as a "blood libel". As in, "Jews are drinking the blood of white Christian babies". These vile rumors led to pogroms for centuries that eventually culminated in the Holocaust.

From Jean Paul Sarte:

GXIemuDW4AAB8Hn


While Sarte specifically mentions antisemites (he was talking about the Nazis), this applies to all Fascists equally. And while plenty of dumb rubes do honestly believe the blood libel being spread about Haitian immigrants, JD Vance does not.

This motherfucker went to Yale. He's married to a second-generation Indian immigrant. This motherfucker knows better. A sitting US Senator is responsible for bomb threats against his own constituents. What the fuck are we doing here?!

Neither Elon Musk Nor Anybody Else Will Ever Colonize Mars | Defector

Mars does not have a magnetosphere. Any discussion of humans ever settling the red planet can stop right there, but of course it never does. Do you have a low-cost plan for, uh, creating a gigantic active dynamo at Mars’s dead core? No? Well. It’s fine. I’m sure you have some other workable...
defector.com defector.com

...I'm sure you have some other workable, sustainable plan for shielding live Mars inhabitants from deadly solar and cosmic radiation, forever. No? Huh. Well then let's discuss something else equally realistic, like your plan to build a condo complex in Middle Earth.
Click to expand...

I would argue never is a very long time. Perhaps some miracle technology will come along that makes terraforming Mars feasible. But on any timescale worth worrying about in 2024? No. This is silly business. You may as well be talking about colonizing Middle Earth.

I don't even think having a permanent science outpost makes sense until/unless we crack cold fusion. Because, as the article points out, the "carbon footprint" of a single human living on Mars would be equal to an entire nation of humans living on Earth.
