Yeah, but it’s something that wasn’t there before so it matters. Current and past gens have fucked it ALL up so these kids are part of something positive. And future lies with them.
An Israeli tank fired from a close distance at the family car of six-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab, and a tank shell directly hit the ambulance that was dispatched to help, according to an investigation....
Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...
Just reminding folks that just because it’s flatpak’d, doesn’t mean it’s sandboxed. But they probably should add some general click here for more info.
Can only be described as psychopathic response disguised as intellectual arguments. There aren’t enough dead babies, women and children that will move this person so long as they’re Palestinian.
Pretty disgusting. More people should be made aware of these tactics because it will leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth in an age of privacy concerns and surveillance.
Even the roots of Israel are established in violent acts of what can only be described as terrorism. Of course one person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Israel is one of the main originators of the car bomb. But you can read more about the Irgung gangs and terrorism committed by Israel’s founders if you choose.
Buda’s wagon was, in essence, the prototype car bomb: the first use of an inconspicuous vehicle, anonymous in almost any urban setting, to transport large quantities of high explosive into precise range of a high-value target. It was not replicated, as far as I have been able to determine, until January 12, 1947 when the Stern Gang drove a truckload of explosives into a British police station in Haifa, Palestine, killing 4 and injuring 140. The Stern Gang (a pro-fascist splinter group led by Avraham Stern that broke away from the right-wing Zionist paramilitary Irgun) would soon use truck and car bombs to kill Palestinians as well: a creative atrocity immediately reciprocated by British deserters fighting on the side of Palestinian nationalists.
There decades since Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination and Israel has lurched only further to the right. One of the greatest obstacles to peace has been Israel’s continual land grabs and illegal settlement building. That has pretty much been cemented as nationalist policy. Ben Gvir is a psychopath and his rise is telling of how far Israel has embraced religious fanaticism.
No one, however, offends liberal and centrist Israelis quite like Itamar Ben-Gvir. Ben-Gvir, who entered parliament in 2021, leads a far-right party called Otzma Yehudit, or Jewish Power. His role model and ideological wellspring has long been Meir Kahane, a Brooklyn rabbi who moved to Israel in 1971 and, during a single term in the Knesset, tested the moral limits of the country. Israeli politicians strive to reconcile Israel’s identities as a Jewish state and a democracy. Kahane argued that “the idea of a democratic Jewish state is nonsense.” In his view, demographic trends would inevitably turn Israel’s non-Jews into a majority, and so the ideal solution was “the immediate transfer of the Arabs.” To Kahane, Arabs were “dogs” who “must sit quietly or get the hell out.” His rhetoric was so virulent that lawmakers from both sides of the aisle used to walk out of the Knesset when he spoke. His party, Kach (Thus), was finally barred from parliament in 1988. Jewish Power is an ideological offshoot of Kach; Ben-Gvir served as a Kach youth leader and has called Kahane a “saint.”
Ben-Gvir, who is forty-six, has been convicted on at least eight charges, including supporting a terrorist organization and incitement to racism, compiling a criminal record so long that, when he appeared before a judge, “we had to change the ink on the printer,” Dvir Kariv, a former official in the Shin Bet intelligence agency, told me. As recently as last October, Netanyahu refused to share a stage with him, or even to be seen with him in photographs. But a series of disappointing elections persuaded Netanyahu to change his mind.
Oh yes, don’t forget Jared Kushner’s ‘special relationship’ with the crown prince of saudia arabia that netted him a $2billion investment. Jared spent his time as an official making business deals around the globe while daddy-in-law was in office.

Never underestimate the blood thirst and deeply racist views of people who rationalize the mass slaughter of women and children, of ethnic cleansing. The world is seeing it more clearly now. Israel has had an incredibly successful run of dehumanization propaganda going back decades, until now.
Blinken saying the quiet part out loud. Tiktok is why people are concerned about the mass slaughter of women and children using our weapons and tax dollars! Damn tiktok and damn those kids!
Noem can’t stop digging the hole she dug herself. Let’s hope this is career suicide we’re witnessing. And South Dakota had one of the worst death rates in the country during covid thanks to Kristi Noem.
Do not forget Bill Clinton, he played a huge role. Essentially fulfilling republican dreams of deregulation by joining hands with them. It’s when the Democratic party embraced corporate interests and neoliberalism. Clinton deregulated banking (see Glass-Steagall) which led to the financial crisis and banking/finance today.
That there are even billionaires, let alone multi-billionaires. It’s an immoral, unethical system that fundamentally exploited labor that allowed for this.
That productivity has gone up but wages have remained stagnant should boil everyone’s blood. All the wealth stolen and sent upwards into fewer and fewer hands. Legalized theft by way of capitalism.
While the prosecutor’s statement did not mention Israel, it was issued after Israeli and US officials have warned of consequences against the ICC if it issues arrest warrants over Israel’s war on Gaza.
One of the biggest mistakes from the DNC was indeed pushing for HRC in 2016. And the more corporate/centrist Dems continue to resist and fight the progressives today.
More people should see this. Common and casual dehumanization of Palestinians, of racism. Everyone else, America, the West are useful idiots. The hypocrisy of liberal democracies is surely on display to millions globally. They not only condone and give cover, but provide weapons and try to silence anyone for calling them out.
Meanwhile NJ might divest from a Japanese company for having cut ties with an Israeli defense contractor over the war on Gaza. We’re in bizarro world folks. I pledge allegiance to the United States of Israel, else be labeled anti-semitic? Not to mention Palestinians are semitic.
One example, from just up the Ivy-garlanded I-95, at Brown University, was announced just hours before Shafik again called in the police. Brown’s governing body agreed to vote on a proposal that would divest the school’s endowment of companies affiliated with Israel in a meeting in October. The proposal is based on a 2020...
‘But over the course of the conference, the seemingly novel arguments for having children fade and give way to a different set of concerns. Throughout the day, speakers and participants hint at the other aspects of modern life that worried them about future generations in the U.S. and other parts of the West: divorce, gender integration, “wokeness,” declining genetic “quality.”’
‘More recently, natalist thinking has emerged among tech types interested in funding and using experimental reproductive technologies, and conservatives concerned about falling fertility rates and what they might mean for the future labor force of the United States and elsewhere in the developed world. The conservative think tanks the Center for Renewing America and the Heritage Foundation — the latter of which was represented at NatalCon — have proposed policies for a potential second Trump administration that would promote having children and raising them in nuclear families, including limiting access to contraceptives, banning no-fault divorce and ending policies that subsidize “single-motherhood.”’

My point is why bring up the US. This story isn’t about the US. This has to do with Iran brutally crushing the Iranian women’s rights movement that rose up in 2020, “Woman, Life, Freedom”.
By turning the convo to the US and policing in the US, you end up minimizing their plight and this young woman’s story.
This thread is filled with too many chest beating men who typically make it about themselves, completely minimizing this young woman’s life and the crushing of the women’s rights movement in Iran.
Chest beating comparisons to American politics, or ranking police violence in the world, dehumanizing islamaphobic remarks, some by opportunistic supporters of Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.
anon987, this is a troll. Someone who makes excuses for and supports the genocide against Palestinians by Israel. Basically using this tragedy to dehumanize people.
Blowback is a bitch ain’t it? It was the US led invasion of Iraq that birthed ISIS. An invasion based on lies about terrorists being in Iraq drummed up by neocons and neolibs, and that would actually help to create a more virulent terrorist plague in the end. And it was the US that armed and trained Bin Laden for its proxy war with Russia in Afghanistan.
When you say “true story”, how much history and context do you really know? Try not getting your news and ‘facts’ watching fox and oan news and alex jones types.
I’m surprised it took this long. Cellphones should be placed in lockers or into classroom size cellphone holder/chargers that many schools use when they enter class if they are not asked to keep it in their lockers all day, save lunch.
Surprised by some of the comments, def not teachers but sound like folks who might die if you were to separate them from their phones.
Cellphones in classrooms are a problem and shouldn’t be allowed whether that’s 100% enforceable or not.
