Μαρία Καρυστιανού: «Κ.Καραμανλή ακούγο��τάς σας σκέφτηκα: Τι λυπηρό που οι νομοθέτες δεν μερίμνησαν για ανθρώπους σαν εσάς.Δεν θα μπορούσαν ποτέ να φανταστούν το μέγεθος της αναξιοπρέπειας και της ανηθικότητας που μπορεί να φτάσει κάποιος»

This is absolutely crazy: Times of Israel reports that "Israeli officials have held clandestine talks with the African nation of Congo and several others for the potential acceptance of Gaza emigrants"

They justify it by quoting Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel saying at the Knesset yesterday: “At the end of the war Hamas rule will collapse, there are no municipal authorities, the civilian population will be entirely dependent on humanitarian aid. There will be no work, and 60% of Gaza’s agricultural land will become security buffer zones.”
In other words as is becoming extremely clear Israel is trying to establish a fait-accompli where Gaza is absolutely unlivable and thereby needs to be ethnically cleansed... And because no Arab country wants to be an accomplice of this crime, they're now trying to send the Palestinians to some of the poorest countries in Africa, hoping I imagine to be able to pay them off for this. I however suspect it won't be this easy: any African country that accepts this deal will become a pariah in the global South (and the country's ruler will also likely be hated by their own population)...
In 2005 an Israeli Soldier emptied his entire magazine (17 bullets) into a 13 year old Palestinian schoolgirl.
He said he would do the same if she was a 3 year old.
The young girl was shot in her arms, legs, hands, chest and 3 times in her face.
The Israeli soldier was given NOT GUILTY by an Israeli Military Court

Επειδή η Ρωσία κατέχει παράνομα μέρος της Ουκρανίας έχουμε επιβάλει κυρώσεις και θα αντικαταστήσουμε τα ρωσικά τανκς της ΕΦ, με... τα ισραηλινά τανκς. Ευτυχώς το Ισραήλ δεν κατέχει παράνομα καμιά χώρα και δεν διαπράττει συστηματικά εγκλήματα πολέμου. «Πολιτική αρχών», ξεκάθαρα.
@A_Piperides Ανδρέα, ως υποψήφιος διδάκτωρ ΔΔΔ που είσαι, ήθελα να σε ρωτήσω κάτι. Το άρθρο 99 υποτίθεται πως είναι για δυνητική απειλή. Στη Γάζα ήδη υπάρχει πολεμική συρραξη (γενοκτονί��). Γιατί δεν το επι��αλέστηκε μετά τις 7 Οκτωβρίου που το Ισραηλ ετοιμαζόταν να εισβάλει. Γιατι αργησε τοσο;
The funny thing about Kissinger living to 100 is he lived long enough to become one of the least crazy warmongers in the DC swamp — not because he got saner, but because the US empire has gotten so much crazier. Almost everyone running the US government today is a worse warmonger than Henry Kissinger was at the end of his life.
WOW, this might be THE most important piece of journalism on the war on Gaza since it began, by Israeli newspaper @972mag :

Essentially they confirm, with unimpeachable sourcing, that the killing of civilians was all calculated and intentional.
Their investigation is "based on conversations with seven current and former members of Israel’s intelligence community — including military intelligence and air force personnel who were involved in Israeli operations in the besieged Strip — in addition to Palestinian testimonies, data, and documentation from the Gaza Strip, and official statements by the IDF Spokesperson and other Israeli state institutions."
What the investigation reveals is that "the Israeli army has files on the vast majority of potential targets in Gaza — including homes — which stipulate the number of civilians who are likely to be killed in an attack on a particular target. This number is calculated and known in advance to the army’s intelligence units, who also know shortly before carrying out an attack roughly how many civilians are certain to be killed."
One source told them: "Nothing happens by accident. When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home."
Even more dystopian - and this might be a first in the history of warfare - a lot of the targets are identified by AI: for instance they "use of a system called 'Habsora' ('The Gospel'), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can 'generate' targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a 'mass assassination factory.' According to the sources, the increasing use of AI-based systems like Habsora allows the army to carry out strikes on residential homes where a single Hamas member lives on a massive scale, even those who are junior Hamas operatives."
I'm not going to copy the whole article here, you have to read this for yourself. IT IS INSANE. They've essentially been running, as the sources say, a "mass assassination factory" at a terrifying scale with massive and intended "collateral damage" (often the targets' entire families, or even sometimes much of their neighborhood), alongside an objective to destroy much of Gaza to “create a shock”, all on a population that had nowhere to escape. It'll likely remain in history books as one of the most depraved massacres in modern history.
@pplsartofwar I get what you are trying to say but Kissinger did so many evil things that is one of the few people that you can just give him the "pure evil" label. Yes, politics is more complicated than that but damn Kissinger was responsible for way too many massacres.
@RnaudBertrand And people were happy about the social democrats winning the elections. The same party that prefers to form a coalition with FDP rather than the communists.
