Altofaltception,

I’m curious where crickets would fall on this scale.

Altofaltception,

Maybe we can get Kushner’s laptop.

Altofaltception,

I don’t think anyone wants to see that.

UN adds Israel to blacklist for harming children in conflict zones (www.middleeastmonitor.com)

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has notified Israel’s Defence Attache in the United States, Major General Hidai Zilberman, of his decision to add Israel to the blacklist of countries and organisations harming children in conflict zones....

Altofaltception,

I mean the US did their part in bombing civilians over the years. They’re considered the “world police” not because they’re good, but simply because nobody can challenge them.

Israel phasing out use of desert detention camp after CNN investigation detailing abuses | CNN (edition.cnn.com)

Israel has transferred hundreds of Palestinian detainees out of the shadowy detention facility of Sde Teiman in Israel’s Negev desert, a state attorney told Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday during a first-ever hearing about the facility where prisoners from Gaza have allegedly been held under conditions of extreme abuse....

Altofaltception,

Think about how much they got away with before the internet made it possible to scrutinize their activities.

Put that into context of governments seeking to restrict access to information: the US ban on TikTok for instance.

Altofaltception,

Police spokesman Georgian Dragan told local television station Digi24 that the suspect’s motives were personal and not motivated by Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.

Altofaltception,

I mean we sold the Saudis weapons to bomb the Yemenis, so I’m just surprised we haven’t been sending Israel weapons to bomb the Gazans.

Altofaltception, (edited )

Let’s say they didn’t have the vehicles. What would they arm them with?

That’s like saying we’ll send the Israelis bombers but if they arm them with bombs, that’s on them.

You’re being pedantic but it’s a stupid argument to make.

Altofaltception,

Bombers don’t necessarily have to come with bombs. They could be used to dump water for example on a forest fire. The bombs are extra.

Canadian Home Prices "Need" To Be High To Pay For Retirements: PM - Better Dwelling (betterdwelling.com)

Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions. A median household in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver would need to save over 20 years for just the down payment, more than 3x the historic average. Seems absurd? The outlandish scenario was apparently a...

Altofaltception,

This is how I read his comment as well.

Altofaltception,

It’s really simple, I think. If you don’t want to be accused of being a war criminal, don’t commit war crimes.

Altofaltception,

Can we cut funding to Israel now? Claims of genocide aren’t founded on bullshit.

Altofaltception,

This guy wasn’t allowed to serve in the IDF due to his involvment with groups designated by the Israeli government as terrorists.

As bad as the IDF is, I can’t even imagine how much worse the IDF would be if they let actual terrorists in its ranks.

Altofaltception, (edited )

Guys, vote for us again and we promise we’ll stop him next time.

Edit: don’t forget Biden called it outrageous that the ICC has labelled Netanyahu a war criminal.

Altofaltception,

Well the women in this case were dead. So it was a man doing the accusing.

Altofaltception,

China flooding the market with solar panels, driving costs down is a good thing.

Altofaltception,

It’s a shockingly capitalist move tbh.

China in its current form is fairly capitalist - they are socialist in name only. This isn’t shocking if you remember that.

Altofaltception,

What’s the likelihood that this was an Israeli assassination?

Altofaltception,

When did Israel act gentlemanly?

Altofaltception,

Was it diplomatic to attack an embassy in another country?

Altofaltception,

It’s actually YOUR country that goes around the world assassinating people in their own lands.

Oh I don’t live in the US.

Altofaltception,

Ah yes that moment when we’re reminded that it’s only okay for the US and its allies to conduct military and naval drills.

Altofaltception, (edited )

Meanwhile in a ”free” country:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act

Edit: apparently people are confused by whataboutism and hypocrisy.

Altofaltception,

Oh get off your high horse.

We criticize the Chinese government for spying on its citizens. We claim it’s undemocratic to do so. Yet we do the same thing. This is not whataboutism, it’s textbook hypocrisy.

Altofaltception,

Thread is about criticizing China. Yet living life as a hypocrite.

Further replies = flailing

Flail away.

Altofaltception,

Oh don’t worry, Israel will be getting more bombs from the US so they can continue with their regularly scheduled, more efficient genocide campaign carried out by bombing. They won’t have to resort to these inconvenient methods of genocide.

Altofaltception,

Had to get the pain and suffering out first.

Altofaltception,

But in the hours before the ruling protesters cut down the structure by sawing through its legs.

(Emphasis mine). There had been years of debate around whether this statue should come down or not. If there was a chance it could go the other way, those protestors eliminated it.

Altofaltception,

Are the VPNs not secure?

Altofaltception,

Dharamsal

Isn’t that where the Dalai Lama lives?

Altofaltception,

Reminder that the Tories have had 2 Prime Ministers in power without holding an election.

Edited to clarify: yes there have been 3 PMs since 2019, but 2 of them were not elected.

Altofaltception,

In hindsight I could have phrased it better, but I meant PMs who were elected.

Boris Johnson was elected in 2019.

Liz Truss replaced him but was not elected. Rishi Sunak replaced her and was also not elected.

Altofaltception,

Liz Truss. I meant PMs who were elected.

Altofaltception,

Playing musical chairs is not a typical move.

Altofaltception,

Thing is, life will find a way to survive despite our best efforts. We’ve seen mass extinctions before. Whether the human species survives is another matter.

Altofaltception,

Germany feels so much guilt about perpetuating one Holocaust that it is preventing information about another Holocaust from getting out.

Altofaltception,

So nothing.

Altofaltception,

This is interesting.

What happens if a country’s leader is labeled a war criminal, but the US and its allies refuse to sanction it?

There have been multiple instances where Israel’s allies have refused to vote against it at the UN, and if that doesn’t make a difference, the US has vetoed any vote.

Altofaltception,

I’m with you.

Altofaltception,

Al-Bursh was also remembered for his efforts during the Great March of Return in 2018-19, when he performed over 28 surgeries in one day on Palestinians injured by Israeli fire.

2018? I thought this all started on October 7.

/S

Altofaltception,

As long as we’re replacing them faster than they can leave, right? /S

Altofaltception,

I don’t think even the Israelis are denying that children are dying as a result of their actions.

The Israelis are marking the deaths as due to collateral damage or putting the blame on the Palestinians for not condemning Hamas and/or giving them up.

Altofaltception,

The war criminals said what?

Altofaltception,

What does NCD stand for in this context?

Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established (apnews.com)

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

Altofaltception,

Don’t let facts get in your way:

en.wikipedia.org/…/2006_Palestinian_legislative_e…

International observers noted that the elections, for the most part, were conducted fairly and in accordance with international standards.

There were some reports of voter obstruction - caused by Israel.

Altofaltception,

Hamas ran in the 2006 election under a completely different name, in an effort to demonstrate that they can in fact separate themselves from their militant faction.

Remember, Israel also had its origins in armed struggle (against the British).

Edit: although this is probably Israeli projection, given that the armed factions did become the Israeli military. And we all know what they’re up to.

Altofaltception,

I thought we don’t accept the results of the election?

Immediately after the election, Fatah, with US and Israeli support dismissed the Hamas government, which Hamas obviously disagreed with.

At this point there’s a stalemate where we (the West) and Fatah don’t recognize the Hamas government and Hamas can’t call an election because they have not officially governed.
