Sorry you were born at the wrong time and place to have worn these cool uniforms? And have you always hated free speech and non-violent protest, or just when it comes to racist ethnostates?

This is as much nonsense as the Five Eyes all spying on each others citizens and then sharing the ill gotten gains from their intel to get around domestic protections.

See also, "fusion centers" in the US where illegally obtained information is then laundered through local law enforcement. Like this trooper who shadowed and then pulled over and searched a vehicle for going 3mph under the speed limit:

War crimes like launching missiles at civilian areas?

No such thing as a civilian invader. Especially when the invader government mandates military service for Israelis reaching adulthood, and then reservist status until 40 years old.

Everyday for decades? Like those war crimes?

Yes, what Israel does to Palestinians is horrible indeed. Like bombing TF out of Gaza - to which Israelis literally broke out the lawn chairs and beer kegs to watch - for a murder in the West Bank. Or murdering several kids on a beach and then clearing themselves in an internal investigation. Using a severely wounded six year old girl on a cell phone - Israel live monitors all calls in Gaza - to lure in medics who were promptly murdered by the IDF. Two days before Oct 7th, settlers and soldiers attacked a Palestinian village in the illegally occupied West Bank with bullets and tear gas. They murdered a young man. Then, the day before Oct 7th, they again attacked the funeral for the guy they just murdered, again with bullets and tear gas.

But not much better is expected of the racist ethnostate that murdered clearly marked reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, then attacked her funeral procession including the pall bearers carrying her coffin.

Go touch some grass and get some perspective.

You first, Hitler.

Distinction without a difference. There are also buttloads of secular Jews who oppose Zionism, as anyone with a brain or morals does.

Because Zionism is a romantic notion no different from Manifest Destiny, except for the fairy tales used to justify it. But to do it in practice is inherently racist AF and utterly dependent on war, ethnic cleansing and Apartheid to make it happen.

No different from Apartheid South Africa, except no fairy tales and Israel is a thousand times worse.

That's only in the English version.

You say that like it's supposed to mean something.

In the Arab version they

Take it up with the people who created Hamas in the first place: Israel.

make it clear that they want the Levant "free from Jews"

Hamas has zero problem with Jews. Palestine was a peaceful cosmopolitan area for hundreds of years under the Ottomans where a tiny Jewish minority got along just fine with Muslims and Christians.

The problem they actually have is the same problem the Maori, Zulu, Sioux had: racist European invaders killing them and stealing their land. Europeans that have no more claim to the land than if you or I can violently seize a couple homes in China if we convert to Confucianism. Zionism was invented by an atheist, Zionists first looked at making an Israel in Africa or South America before deciding to invade Palestine for a second time according to their own book.

That's why we call it ethnic cleansing.

It's not ethnic cleansing when home invaders get kicked out. It's what your home invaders are committing. Openly talking of building luxury real estate on Gaza beaches and trying to bribe Egypt or Congo to take in millions of Palestinians. Millions who will never be allowed to return home, just as millions of Palestinians forced into Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan etc have never been allowed to return after your pogroms.

The point is that the prediction in 1990s was that global warming would cause massive ice melting that would cause many of the island nations in the Indian and Pacific to go under water. There were even projects in those nations as a result of those predictions to relocate their populations.

Same prediction was made for Africa in late 1990s, as the massive hunger crisis kicked in. That by 2020, there would be such horrific starvation as a result of desertification and other climate related disasters, that Africa would be starving wholesale. This wasn't about war in Darfur, but the massive starvation event that happened south of equator in Africa. If you're old enough, you may remember the ads for aid with horrifically emaciated children with massive bulging bellies. The modelling by the relevant climate data scientists said that this would become a norm across entire continent by 2020.

My point is that these claims sound utterly insane in hindsight, because they are. And the reason is because of how data science works by design. It has nothing to do with actual scientific process, that being of constructing a hypothesis and then testing it. Data science is about intuiting a model, plugging numbers collected from real world into the model, getting an outcome and selling that as "science". So when you motivate people to make predictions as catastrophic as possible, you get those out of the models because people intuit appropriate models and adjust variables within the models to fit the expected outcomes. And that's what keeps happening, and how we get these incredibly catastrophist modelling outcomes.

Maldives have been under water since 2020, according to prediction from 1990s. Also Africa has lost more than half of its population to mass starvation because of global warming, Great Barrier reef is dead, and so on.

Need to get grants is what causes this sort of "data science", where people just intuit models, plug numbers and then adjust the variables within the model until they get the most outrageous result they can get.

Then they go to their favorite journo and tell him they have a great clickbait story for him/her.

Nope. I have a Jewish acquaintance; he says he's 100% Jewish but a DNA test shows all but .5% of his ancestry is eastern European. Many of Israel's PM's have come from Poland, Ukraine and Russia.

European Jews are just like Latin American Catholics: they are converts to a religion. It doesn't mean Hondurans/Brazilians/Columbians etc are entitled to a slice of Palestine as it's the birthplace of their religion.

Maybe Republicans really like dick picks

Thanks Yuri. How's the weather in St. Petersburg?

See, even when I am totally generous with numbers, allowing their obviously bullshit numbers to go through, they still twist reality to match the hatred in their hearts.

>Then maybe Israel would be better off not playing into Hamas' hands by continuing the unrestrained killing of civilians and resort to a far more targeted approach than carpet bombing and 'free-fire zones'?

And yet we just demonstrated that Israel has managed to do the opposite of "unrestrained killing of civilians", and has managed to do better than anyone else in their "targeted approach". To the point where we have countless videos from their own soldiers of going into certain death to try to save the civilians who want to kill them.

And even that is insufficient pathological altruism for this sort of an individual. The most hilarious part for me though, is that almost all of these people who claim that this is insufficient also tend to claim that a lot of modern conservative movement is nazis who just hate the jews, because they keep hearing dog whistles form that movement about mass murdering jews.

It's almost like they're the only ones hearing those dog whistles because that's what their hearts actually desire, as evidenced by demanding even more pathologically suicidal altruism from jews, and only from jews.

>How do we know they're not working for the enemy

That's purview of NSA, for whom "disappearing messages" do not disappear.

Maybe if Israel hadn't been politically and financially backing Hamas, it might have been different. But hey, all that counts is "Palestinians bad, Israelis good". Simple is so much easier to cope with than reality.

Problem: census data at the end of the Ottoman Empire shows Jews were a very small minority in Palestine. Like 2-5% small. Just as a percentage of population there were more gay people in Palestine pre-Nakba as Jews indigenous to the area.

And it's not about Islam, either. If you've seen the interview Tucker Carlson recently did you need to watch it. Palestinian Christians have also been subjected to ethnic cleansing from Zionists from Europe, and Israel has bombed some of the oldest Christian churches in the world. With refugees inside.

Israel is a colonizer Apartheid state just like South Africa. And yes, DNA and genealogical records back that up.

Gaza is the world's largest open air prison. The majority of residents there are refugees, descendants of the 750,000 people who were marched from their homes & off their land at gunpoint in 1948.

Not just 1948. Since prime minister Sharon forced settlers out of Gaza (to prevent Palestinians there from ever voting) a million and half Palestinians have been forced out of West Bank or other occupied territories into said open air prison. Which supporters of this ethnostae pretend means Palestinians are breeding like ferrets on a diet of estacy and crack.
