There’s an entire section of Hamas’ Wikipedia page dedicated to it. The gist is that there’s testamony that Israel explicitly funded Hamas in order to counter the PLO. This was to ensure a Palestinian state would never materialize.
I have not researched the matter due as enough to have a full opinion, though I’ve heard multiple individuals state that it is almost indisputable that it happened.
If you haven’t already, folks, switch your default search engine over to a searx. You’ll gain back the ability to actually find useful results. It’s not so good for shopping, though.
Yep, the alt-right playbook. That dude has a dozen videos covering all that stuff.
I don’t think Navalny believed any resistance would be mounted for him - he might have had hope but I don’t think he counted on anything. I think he chose to go back knowing he would likely die. He chose to be a martyr to maximize the effect he’d have.
Yeah, I pulled open those clips from @zerfuffle and had an “oh damn” moment. It sounds identical.
Something that occurs to me that I can’t really get out of my head is perhaps Israel using it’s iron dome system to intercept missiles so that the shrapnel lands inside Gaza. I don’t know much about the iron dome system, nor what the alternatives to making missile shrapnel fall on civilians are.
If anyone with more knowledge about these things could weigh in, I’d appreciate it.
Alright, gonna be a skeptic.
We’re seeing an Israeli news source followed by an IDF statement with IDF evidence, so a conflict of interest does exist with these sources, though that doesn’t mean either is lying. That being said, if Israel did deliberately target a hospital in Gaza with as many eyes on Gaza as there are, that’d be a really fucking stupid move. At the same time, If they did, lying and completely fabricating everything is in their highest interest. At minimum, though, I think that any trustworthiness one would associate with journalists or military Intel be thrown out, and the evidence be viewed with skepticism
There is also some oppositely damning evidence in circulation. GeoConfirmed apparently did their own locating of where the video occurred, and - if accurate - from the videos perspective, the missile was moving northwest, from the direction of Israel. They are also A third party in this, though, so their bias is not immediately determinable from this one tweet, nor can the factuality be easily confirmed.
We’re still in the fog of war, and simultaneously a war for our minds and support is being waged. I am going to wait for more information from more parties to arrive.
EDIT: I previously stated the tweet I linked claimed the missile was moving north east, which it doesn’t - that’s my misphrasing. The tweet I linked specifically repeats the falling shrapnel story - though the evidence they show shows the camera looking southeast, with the missile coming from said direction towards the camera. I’ve rewritten it to be more clear.
Nevermind a new version. I’m still waiting for them to add some libraries by default so we can access the debian wifi hotspot feature.
I’ve been wanting the steam deck to support built-in ad-hoc LANs since it was announced. some folks brighter than me got it working by installing two or three libraries (via pacman). It mostly works, but since it changes the base libraries, it gets erased every time you do a system update. The solution would be to just have those installed on SteamOS by default. Even just that would provide the steam deck community a new tool for messing with.
Ethnicity is not what was being talked about just now; You were talking about DNA lineage.
Ethnicity deals with cultural self-identity, which includes religion and does not deal at all with DNA relation.
My understanding, though, is that Jewish culture actually has a long history of genealogy via family tree mapping long before DNA testing was available. That does have some ethnic connection as a cultural tradition.
