Oh and I see this place is now about getting threatened by ex-prison guard Internet tough guys who read a Mark Fisher book and think they have a free pass to call someone a poof. In addition to the fash and TERF brigade and whatever. I didn't change shit buddy. I said what I said. If no one else...

This I do agree with 100% Simultaneous ongoing Gaza genocide, war with Lebanon and Yemen, illegal Syria occupation, oh and ofc the West Bank ad always, on top of this

Yes I know all this better than anyone here. Even the dying remnants of the traditional Israeli liberal left - Peace Now etc - that backed Oslo now acknowledges that the only thing that will stop this is external pressure - ie internal change is no longer possible - but there's no realistic...

Israelis claiming they took out Iranian chief of staff, and multiple high-level nuclear scientists, in initial strike

Not only is it not going to happen, nonsense takes like that only help Israel leadership and hasbarists, and hurt Palestinians. The best outcome is peace, not more dead Israelis, Iranians, Arabs, and whoever else. Not related but incidentally: I saw your homophobic comments in that other...

Reports that the IDF hit multiple apartment buildings in Tehran in attempted decapitation attacks on IRGC leaders. As yet unconfirmed but very believable as IDF policy since forever in Gaza and Lebanon is to kill dozens of innocent people in apartment buildings and claim "human shields", ie the...

No surprise, they just said they're targeting Iran's nuclear program and long-range missile capability. Specifically claiming Iran was "days away from having enough fissile material for 15 nuclear bombs". Even by military propaganda standards the IDF lies incessantly about everything but either...

Maybe it will just be a brief dustup a la the one last October but the Israelis are expecting it to go full tilt, whole country on emergency lockdown There is an enormous strain of hubris running thru Israeli leadership and a very large section of society - at least a plurality, possibly...

Israel just ("preemptively") hit Iran. Katz and the IDF announced it ~15 minutes ago. Details obviously pending but all bets are off now. Netanyahu et al gambling that they can force Trump to engage in a new Middle East forever war which, idk. Dunno what this means for Gaza, or the WB...

Having said that, detransitioners should be treated with respect and decency like anyone else, tho ppl like Chloe Cole who use it as a springboard to attack trans people and/or become mid RW grifters (usually it's both) deserve the opposition they create Anyway, this is detransition wave claim...

One-time (?) only return to remind everyone that TERF/GCs have been predicting this massive wave of detransitioners for 15+ years and it has always failed to materialize, bc it almost certainly doesn't exist. "Doubtless more detransitioners than long-term trans people" is a particularly insane...

I think I'm pretty much done with dissensus, but just bc I posted about it already, the Palestinian Red Crescent released a more extensive of Hind's call with the ambulance dispatcher I could say 1000 things about the endless stream of IDF Tiktoks gleefully celebrating prisoner abuse and...

And sure enough, just after Hind's story breaks and on the eve of a looming massacre in Rafah, here comes one of the worst Twitter hasbara accounts (of big accounts I'd probably put her second for callous vileness, after Oren Barsky) with a UNRWA style "allegations, no evidence" smear...

that voice is going to be burned into my brain forever there have been 1000s of terrible stories but this one I will remember on my deathbed

https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/2/10/body-of-missing-palestinian-girl-hind-rajab-found-in-destroyed-car be warned: the audio clips of her terrified pleading for help are one of the most difficult things I've ever listened to look, fuck Sinwar and Deif and Haniyeh and the Hamas...

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68261286 this little girl bled to death, terrified and alone, trapped in a destroyed car, surrounded by her dead relatives, because the IDF wouldn't let an ambulance thru, then once they did let an ambulance thru, shot up the ambulance and killed the...

Don't have time to get into the actual topic rn (tldr: toxic masculinity reactionary backlash vs. women liking, yunno, actually having rights) but here's a more in depth thread on S Korea The money shot "This largely explains why young men have turned right in recent years. Their...

Oh also, the IDF admitted to running a gruesome psyop Telegram channel aimed at whipping up Israelis into a fervor of war support

https://www.channel4.com/news/israels-evidence-of-unrwa-hamas-allegations-examined So to review, Israeli intelligence leaked a dossier with no actual evidence against UNRWA, which was then dutifully laundered by the WSJ, via a literal former IDF officer, and the U.S. govt, and on the basis of...

my point was more that if things get that bad in re climate change refugees, the breakdown of social order will probably be so widespread and severe, and the police state reaction against it so harsh, that no one is going to care much about singling out Israelis for moral reasons. militarized...
