@MaxNordau the pro-Palio trolls think they have a "gotcha" by copy/pasting trash about the USS Liberty.

all militaries make mistakes, including ours.

should Canada have obliterated a bunch of US cities for this friendly fire incident?

@ed_in_my_head @estherzelda0514 yes I pointed out that the bullets appeared to be in pristine condition as well when this BS story was first published.

however, it is technically possible for a bullet to penetrate a human body and suffer little to no deformation. But that is at very low velocities.

Short 🧵on “brutal blockade” nonsense: In 2017, Al Jazeera did a piece on Gaza called “Boom in Gaza Consumer Enterprises.” In it you will see water parks, malls, restaurants, thriving hotels, businesses, and the promise of quick return on investment. https://t.co/x7cGZr2RQP

Reading a couple of @theguardian articles in a last few days, I feel we may be seeing its final departure from the pluralistic liberal tradition that made it a great newspaper, thanks to its capture by – or its morally fuddled editorial cadre - surrender to, an activist, ideological, anti-Western and more than that, anti-factual front.
Our liberal democracy needs institutions of pluralistic discourse like this once-hallowed paper but it also requires a respect for facts and some sense of morals. Facts were once the essential ingredients of the coverage of a paper like the Guardian.
However at least there are comedic sides to this.
Two recent articles exemplify the Guardian’s embrace of illiberal anti democratic, anti fact forces and at the same time represent “a bonfire of the vanities” (an appropriate quotation from Savonarola who used the phrase to launch a bloodspattered but absurdly self-righteous purge of Florence that ended with his own execution.)
Today’s was a truly creepy review of the One Day in October documentary, by a comedy-writer Stuart Jeffries, on the October 7 Hamas massacres who seemed irritated and uneasy that the real record of the atrocities by Hamas and some Gazan civilians, gleefully documented by the killers themselves on GoPros and smart-phones, did not accord with his and the Guardian’s political prejudices.
How could these impertinent film-makers present these killers, decapitators, rapists, body-mutilators, corpse-abusers, kidnappers and looters as baddies? That is against the simplistic, rigid, flimsy framework of the ideology of anti-Israeli decolonization and must be wrong! This uncomfortable fact must be corrected!
The result: a piece of unintentional, amoral gallows comedy at the Guardian's expense.
The other was equally embarrassing and morally tone-deaf: a comically self-important and self-reverential but ugly and historically ignorant essay claiming the Israelis were guilty of memoralizing their October 7 fallen (so unlike every society, ever, in history from the 300 of the Spartans to the West with WW1 Armistice Day, the West and Russia with WW2, The Holodomor by Ukrainians, the Holocaust by the Jews, the Nakba by Palestinians, 9/11 by Americans and so on) by the clumsy Canadian provocateur Naomi Klein, all but indistinguishable from her alter-ego and fellow solipsist the other Naomi.
As I posted this amidst general contempt for these pieces across the X platform, the paper may have taken one of them down 'pending review.'
The fact is the paper has lost its heart and soul and sense of moral judgement but these preposterous pieces at least provide a sort of bleak, EndDays comedy amidst the heartbreaking civilian losses of Middle Eastern conflicts... @theguardian

However, the point the original post was making was that almost any bullet fired from a military rifle that strikes someone in the head will cause tremendous damage, yet the x-rays that the NY Times published showed no such damage.

In fact, the skulls of the patients, many of whom were children, showed almost no damage at all, which is physically impossible if they were actually shot.

All the x-rays are fake. They simply placed a bullet underneath the child's head so it would appear in the x-ray.

[Craig Iskowitz @craigiskowitz]

yes, the bullet that hit JFK was a 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano FMJ round also referred to as the "stretcher bullet" because of the amount of damage it caused.

while it is smaller than a .50 caliber bullet it has other properties that make it almost as dangerous.

It was fired from a Mannlicher-Carcano Italian military rifle at a muzzle velocity of 2,160 ft/s with ~1,300 ft-lb of kinetic energy, it was a small diameter but a very energetic projectile.

The bullet was also heavy for its size (161 grains), giving it high momentum and deep penetration.

This Palestinian estate in Mukhmas, in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), is one of 100 luxury properties featured in Regavim’s new photo book, Real Estate Under Occupation.

Pools, marble staircases, landscaped gardens and gated compounds feature throughout. The Israeli land-use advocacy group says its team photographed the properties in a single day.

Regavim argues that this private wealth is often missing from international coverage. The selection documents an affluent slice of Palestinian society; the report also examines the broader economic context and the homes’ American connections.

Nachum Perry reports in The Jerusalem Post.

The ethnic cleansing of over 14 million Sudanese, 30% of the population, marks one of the most severe humanitarian crises of our time.

Yet, where are the global protests?

[Aɴᴛ @AntSpeaks]

In 2025, satellite imagery of El Fasher, Sudan, revealed vast areas of red ground discolouration and clusters consistent with bodies visible from SPACE, indicating a catastrophic mass casualty event following the city’s capture.

Again, for those who need that put in simpler terms. Enormous patches of apparent blood staining and bodies could be identified from satellite imagery. That is how horrific the slaughter in Sudan was.

Yet where was the comparable outrage from the “Free Palestine” crowds over the atrocities taking place in Sudan? Nope, there was none...

Now recently updated Google Earth imagery of Gaza is circulating, much of it showing destruction that was already visible previously, and immediately the predictable accusations of “genocide” return. People like @ComicDaveSmith are even performing the whole teary eyed routine over it.

It’s incredible how quickly jumping onto an ideological bandwagon can expose the sheer depths of human hypocrisy, selective outrage and small mindedness.
