One of the many horrific things I've learned over the past decade is that, contrary to policy cliche, there really is a level of state violence that can successfully end/suppress insurgencies, and that "hearts and minds" frameworks are for states unwilling/unable to go there.
Tzipi Hotovely, Israeli ambassador to the UK "We have no interest in hurting innocent people"
Kay Burley "You are bombing them though"
"Excuse me?"
"You are bombing them"
"Oh really? So let me tell you something..."
Hotovely then tells us about an RAF bombing mission in WW2
For love of God, STOP retweeting Jason Hinkle, Lowkey, Max Blumenthal, Rania Khalek, Ben Norton, Dan Cohen, Abu Abdulimah, Asa Winstanley etc.
These liars use Palestinian cause as a shield to spread lies about Uyghur Muslims, Ukrainians, & anti-Assad Syrians in exchange for $$
CNN has just published completely shocking before and after satellite images showing the extent of the obliteration of Gaza neighborhoods. Israel was not lying when it claimed to be focused on damage rather than accuracy: https://t.co/grJx0HyKpi
You could always argue the numbers were inaccurate or slightly inflated, but the idea that they were wildly inflated was always absurd. Israel said it dropped 6000 bombs in the first FIVE DAYS. It's been two weeks. Anyone who watched Syria shouldn't be surprised 7k have died.
#Genocide | below is the picture of the “Munir Abdel-Hay,” 53 years old, taken in mid-November 2013.
He appears here in handcuffs, next to him Haider al-Jubouri a leader in the Iraqi sectarian militia “Liwaa Zulfiqar” to be executed
The location is Al-Nabk in Damascus. (1/5)
This 👇 is demographic engineering: calling 100% Arab Deir Ezzor and 90-95% Arabs Raqqa 'Rojava'. Unfortunately, many EU politicians have no idea (is my experience).
Meanwhile, especially young Arabs and Kurds are fleeing SDF area.
The health ministry in Gaza just published a 200+ page report with all the names, ID numbers, and ages of 7,028 Palestinians killed in Gaza from Oct 7 until Oct 26, 3pm. I wonder if news outlets will drop the "if verified" caveat now whenever citing Palestinian casualties.
“Run to Jordan before we kill our enemies and expel you from our Holy Land, promised to us by God”
Today, army-backed Israeli settlers, spread leaflets threatening Palestinians with ethnic cleansing. Photo from Salfit in the occupied West Bank.
As I predicted, the pro-Israel crowd is exploiting the rift between Palestinians’ claims of war crimes (most of which are true) and Syrians calling out mislabeled war crime videos (videos of Assad’s victims in Syria being posted as Palestinian victims in Gaza).
this questioning of death stats from gaza is not only disgustingly racist, it also obscures the basic logic on the ground:
like so many other things, the registration of deaths is ultimately controlled by israel.
