Broadly, I think that this has been Israel's goal since the start, and that it was apparent when they bombed the al-Ahli hospital (and denied responsibility, only later to recant).

From the start, they intended to kill as many Palestinians as possible - hundreds of thousands if not millions - and since they predicted that not even their legions of morally bankrupt international defenders could protect them from condrmnation if they did it through mass executions, they instead systematically snd deliberately set sbout destroying infrastructure and hospitals, stopping aid by driving out existing aid distribution organizations and taking over and closing all border crossings, and herding the population into the smallest possible space so that starvation and disease would do the bulk of the killing for them.

They are, right now, doing exactly what they planned on doing from the start, and toward the goal toward which they've been deliberately working from the start - the complete destruction of the Palestinian people and the full annexation of Gaza.

And in fact, I have zero doubt that that's why they've recently walked away from negotiations - because Hamas, entirely justifiably, will not back down from their demand that any deal must include Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, and they have, and have had since day one, no intention of ever withdrawing.

That's a rhetoricsl question, right?

The Israeli government lies, constantly, brazenly and shamelessly.

Israel is a rogue state.

conspiracies...

Eh?

Corporate PR departments doing the job they're paid to do isn't a "conspiracy," even when they do it in an underhanded way.

It has everything to do with reposting - as I already said, this is transparently an attempt to divert attention from the tremendous harm that corporations do by trying to make an issue of some relatively innocuous thing that individuals do. It's been a standard tactic for years now in the climate change debate.

And somehow I suspect you know that. Firsthand.

And the average AI datacenter consumes 2 million liters of water a day, which works out to about a football field's worth every 25 minutes.

This is just standard climate change astroturfing - trying to divert attention from the grotesquely destructive actions of corporations (in this case, AI companies) by pointing to some relatively inconsequential thing that can be blamed on individuals.

He does!

Holy hell.

He looks like he's imagining raping the photographer.

And yet again, we'll see if anyone with the wealth or authority to oppose this will even lift a finger.

And yet again, I'm predicting no, they won't.

Cowards and co-conspirators one and all.

And it's not like it matters anyway - even if someone did try to stand against them, the Trump regime would just keep appealing any decision against them until it got to the Supreme Court, and then those criminally corrupt and traitorous pieces of shit would give them what they wanted.

Revealing but unsurprising that Trump is just blithely saying here that laws that require any sort of effort to follow somehow just don't apply to him or his wealthy cronies and patrons.

I think it's safe to presume that Hamas wasn't willing to budge from its demand that Israel withdraw from Gaza, and since annexing Gaza is more important to the Israeli government than recovering the hostages, Israel is walking away instead.
