Israel trying to pass the hospital bombing off as Palestine doing it is utterly disgusting and guarantees Netanyahu a spot in the deepest pit of Hell for all eternity, obviously, but do not forget that

a) the only reason why Westerners will believe it is because they want to believe it - they are not being brainwashed and this is not some masterful propaganda being weaved around us to turn kind-hearted people into monsters,

b) no Westerner opinions matter at all. In most Western countries there is no real anti-Israel option to vote for even if they did realize that Israel was a giant factory for crimes against humanity, and Westerners protesting against things in general almost never achieves anything (tens of millions protested for BLM in 2020 and not only did the situation not change, it got worse), and

c) the people whose opinions do matter (both the people in the region, and the leaders who aren't already Zionist compradors) already know that Israel is full of shit and that they just murdered nearly a thousand civilians in a single bomb attack.

It is despair-inducing to think that the genocidal Zionist entity is so brazenly, so smugly getting away with bullshitting this away into a cloud of confusion, as they release their metaphorical squid ink just like they did with the stupid babies story, but the propaganda and the media narrative that they are creating isn't what matters. It cannot address the fundamental contradictions ripping the country, the region, and the world apart any more than masterfully-applied makeup can fix a stab wound. It can merely obfuscate.

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

The weekly update isn't coming because I'm sick and too focussed on the collapse of the Zionist entity.

"The problem at privatized military housing at Fort Hood was so bad that nine Army families sued their landlords in 2020." Privatized military housing? At this point I'm convinced, that US Army and other public services are just a con to transfer money to the corporations. Modern day America never cease to amaze me.

“You Muslims must die!”

Wadea Al-Fayoume a 6 year old Palestinian American boy was just stabbed to death in Illinois by his landlord shouting these words. His mom Hanaan was stabbed as well and in critical condition.

Anke Frohlich, a New Yorker who caught impressive photographs of Flaco in flight, said she has seen him eat four rats in one sitting. 'I have observed Flaco eat up to four rats a night, which, from what I have heard, is four times what he used to eat in the zoo,'

'He has definitely gotten a lot bigger since his escape and he has found his voice. His hoots are full and strong.

Kathy Robles, 73, who lives just over the river from Central Park in New Jersey, told DailyMail.com the bird has become 'buff' since escaping by 'using muscles he never had to use before'.

'He waddles around, so he's using his leg muscles and breast muscles,' said Robles, who has built a Flaco Facebook following of more than 500 people.

Lebanon to file UN complaint over killing of journalist by Israel

Saturday, 14 October 2023 18:54 [ Last Update: Saturday, 14 October 2023 18:59 ]

Lebanon said on Saturday that it will file a complaint with the UN Security Council over “deliberate killing” by Israel of a Reuters journalist, a Lebanese national, state media reported.

Iran Press/ West Asia:  Six other journalists were injured in a village in Lebanon when their position was shelled. Israel Defence Forces say they are investigating the incident.

According to Lebanon’s National News Agency, the Foreign Ministry instructed Lebanon’s permanent mission to the UN to submit a complaint for “deliberate killing” of video journalist Issam Abdullah, who worked for Reuters, and wounding two other journalists working for AFP and Al Jazeera.

The Israeli regime released infrared footage on Friday showing what they say are the strikes on militants attempting to cross the Israel border from Lebanon. It was not clear which group the alleged militants belonged to. 

On Friday, Hezbollah said its fighters fired several rockets at four Israeli positions along the border and the Israeli army said it had attacked Hezbollah targets with drone strikes.

Abdallah was with a group of journalists from other organizations, including Al Jazeera and Agence France-Presse,  when he was killed on Friday while providing a live video signal for broadcasters.

The group was working near the village of Alma al-Shaab, close to the border, where the Israeli military and Hezbollah have been trading fire in border clashes. 

I'm pretty sure these photos in question are the same ones that were deemed to be AI generated. Promoting them as an ad is especially weird, but I guess this makes sense as these photos are clearly being used to manufacture consent.

Prediction is at least 1 person killed every 2 years
