Horrible. There’s a video of one of the attendees, this German Israeli girl, who they shot it the head and then seemingly broke her limbs such that they were twisted in ways that aren’t otherwise possible. In the back of a jeep, face down, dead, while these animals are spitting on her.

I really hope there’s no further debate over this conflict. Though of course there will be, it’ll never end.

It may be time for the US to teach Iran a lesson again

There seems to be chatter linking the tactics used to Wagner training.
Pootin using Iran / Palestine to open another front as a proxy war with the west by causing maximum chaos and global uncertainty?
The antidote to global order is global disorder?
fuckers.

I wonder if Hamas had US intelligence (via Mar-a-Lago or closed door meetings between Putin and Trump)

The Gerald Ford carrier group is headed to the eastern Mediterranean

Is the thinking that the US can't fight all these proxy wars at once?

That’d be a strange thought. Especially considering this isn’t comparable to Russia invading Ukraine.

Israel is more than capable of pushing out Hamas and razing Gaza to the ground without any further US assistance.

…and even if you do find a reputable source, their top replies for as far as you can scroll are ad-bots posting complete non-sequitors to the parent tweet and blue checkmark Elon/MAGA fanboys spewing pure bullshit.

that’s the added salt on the wound….I’d taken for granted how much good info, threads and follows I used to discover from the top comments under reputable sources, from other rebuttable sources.

Feels pretty clear in retrospect that Twitter probably should have been regulated as a public utility at some point…the value lost feels incalculable.

Yeah, even though you still had to exercise a bit of media literacy before with the blue checks, it was generally a good first indicator. Now it's just the biggest random Elon Musk fanboys.

their response from underneath this tweet, if anyone didn’t click on it…

Yeah, I mean they murdered 600 civilians and took a bunch of kids hostage.

Yeah, I mean they murdered 600 civilians and took a bunch of kids hostage.

Families murdered in their homes, homes burned down so families could be murdered in the street, 260 kids killed at a peace festival, girls raped beside their friends’ dead bodies and then killed themselves, kids and women and elderly kidnapped, babies in cages waiting to be used as trade capital for imprisoned terrorists, dead bodies being paraded in the streets and desecrated by the general population.

Yeah, I’m dying to know the reasons and rationale.

it's an interview worth watching, if only to understand the extreme abuse Palestinians have received themselves, over many, many years.

Nothing justifies this horrific attack and I have zero tolerance for terrorists, Israel should hunt down every one of those fuckers. But it's still important to understand the context and be aware that Netanyahu is an evil motherfucker himself.

I will watch it later even though I believe much of this stuff is propaganda. I saw a similar guy on Saturday morning talking to Amanpour and it made my stomach turn.
