One Israeli combat soldier described how members of his unit yelled in celebration and congratulated each other after shooting a Palestinian car driving near the yellow line, “killing everyone inside.”
The soldier said scenes like this had “become common” after the ceasefire took effect.
“In the weeks he was stationed in Gaza, he said, he saw soldiers relishing the chance to go after those who crossed — or came close to crossing — the so-called yellow line,” AP wrote.
In many cases, Israeli forces have failed or refused to clearly mark the yellow line, leading to confusion among Palestinians living near it and giving Israeli troops the opportunity to kill them for sport.
when this is juxtaposed with the fact that the recent MOU depends on Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, all the drama about capitulation is revealed to be much ado about nothing - israel will not withdraw, the deal will not be consummated.
“let Syria take care if it” implicitly admits “al-Qaeda” Syria is aligned with US. Of course this is common knowledge now.
Reddit suspended me for 3 days for posting this there. They said this is “calling for violence” lol
“[The money] didn’t come from regular people. It’s come from billionaires, and 95 percent of it - at least 95 percent - has come from the Israeli lobby,” Massie said, specifically naming Aipac; the Republican Jewish Coalition; Christians United for Israel; and a trio of billionaires that have dominated the US election landscape: Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson - none of whom are from Kentucky.
“Their position is more war, it’s more strife, it’s more bombs, it’s more foreign aid, and those are the things that I’ve been voting against. So the real reason that this race is a serious race, and I may lose, is because a foreign lobby has fully funded to the extent that they’ve never done in any Republican race ever before,” Massie said.
Massie has raised some $5m for his campaign, but $10m alone has been spent running attack ads against him in Kentucky, including an AI-generated video of him going into a hotel with members of “The Squad” - the progressive female congresswomen in the Democratic Party.
yes. Their own cruelty exhilarates them.
for sure - fuck Obama. But it’s important to acknowledge that Trump in particular caved to very old and tired arguments from Netanyahu that others had rejected.
Israel is the only reliable millitary ally in the region … Doing nothing just leads to plane hijackings and the spread of militant extremism like Houthis, Hezbollah, IRGC, etc.
this is such bullshit
Israel has no more right to exist than Nazi Germany
You have to wonder if he browsed lemmy.world!
not Israel. Jewish Insider is talking about American Jews.
A common refrain in conversations with those in the Democratic pro-Israel world after the votes — and even before then — was that the end of Netanyahu’s premiership would provide a critical opening and opportunity to start rebuilding support for Israel among Democrats.
Prof Marandi is an IRGC spokesperson and a member of Iran’s negotiating team in Islamabad.
