Gotta hand it to @amnesty for consistency. They haven't mentioned our ballistic missile strikes on Ukrainian civilians since this, they've not posted about any we've done since.
And they're probably not gonna.
New from the Jerusalem Post:
While fighting one of the most complex urban wars in the world, Israel mobilized roughly 130 lawyers to work alongside commanders in real time to ensure operations comply with international law.
The contrast is stark. Israel embeds legal calculus into battlefield decisions while fighting an enemy that openly violates every norm on the books.
This says something darker about the moment we live in. Israel needs legal teams not only to advise during combat, but to protect reservists from coordinated lawfare campaigns abroad.
No other democracy fighting a defensive war faces this kind of organized legal harassment
Det råder ännu förvirring kring USA:s mörka syn på Europa.
Medan man förstått att det ligger något i att man inte bidragit tillräckligt till Natos försvar, har man svårt att förlika sig med den fundamentala kritiken kring Europas utveckling. Vances exempel i talet i München för ett år sedan betraktas som mer eller mindre lösryckta anekdoter, snarare än som uttryck representativa för en totalitär tidsanda.
Man förefaller mer intresserat av ICE:s gripanden av illegala migranter i Minnesota än den brittiska polisens gripanden av vanliga medborgare som uttryckt provocerande saker online i Storbritannien. Framför allt tar man verkliga och föreställda oegentligheter i USA som intäkt för att USA är en illegitim bedömare av Europa.
För Europa framstår det svåraste vara att göra upp med bilden av sig själv.

What do you think about what Hamas did on October 7th?
We take pride in it. Eventually, Israel will be completely destroyed.
Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis"
This must be shared every day.
How it works: information warfare edition
1. Israel gains tactical upper hand in Gaza.
2. Ceasefire negotiations continue with Hamas under pressure.
3. Hamas send the propaganda machine into overdrive.
4. UN and NGOs amplify propaganda.
5. Willing Western media repeat without scrutiny.
6. Western politicians react as Hamas wants.
7. Hamas, encouraged, toughen their stance and refuse a ceasefire.
Repeat, every god damned time for the last 21 months.
"While the world fixates on Donald Trump’s populist cocktail of reciprocal tariffs and big, beautiful deficits, @JMilei is delivering a man-made miracle that should gladden the heart of every classical economist and quicken the pulse of all political libertarians." 1/5
Israelis touring Europe should not be surprised by the hostility they encounter. First they are richer than most Europeans. Secondly they have the courage to fight in war, as Europeans used to do. Third, all now knows that Israel is more advanced than most European countries,
Israel's focus is not on regime change, it's on destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities and crippling their army.
What happens after that is up to the Iranian people, the IDF cannot give them their freedom, they have to take it.
Suddenly they're not starving.
Suddenly they're not crying.
Suddenly they're not freezing to death.
Suddenly they're praising Hamas.
Suddenly they're armed and masked.
Suddenly they're promising another war.
Fuck Gaza. They’re all monsters.
