Good, one should always refer to the Ministry of Truth before deciding what is true or false for The Party.

bartolomeo@suppo.fito World News@lemmy.world•World Court Finds Israel Responsible for ApartheidEnglish4·1 year agoI think what’s missing here is the existence of legal precedence. The UN had an arms embargo on apartheid South Africa starting in the 70s, so there’s precedent for that.
Fun fact: Israel violated the South Africa arms embargo. Big time.
bartolomeo@suppo.fito World News@lemmy.world•World Court Finds Israel Responsible for ApartheidEnglish2·1 year agoMost anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.
Very strange to have government contractors and managers of public funds swearing an oath to protect a different country. Similar situation in the UK. Interestingly enough, this is another case of “birds of a feather flock together”:
On May 17, 2019, right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany sponsored a bill “Condemn the BDS movement – protect the existence of the State of Israel” (19/9757) to ban the BDS movement nationally.

Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty… I’m not a call to genocide you are!

bartolomeo@suppo.fito World News@lemmy.world•Israel's Knesset passes bill rejecting Palestinian statehoodEnglish7·1 year agothey scream “self defense” hard enough while bribing politicians everyone will keep supporting their Genocide.
And should you happen to be a supporter of human rights and international law they will scream “antisemitism” hard enough until you lose your job.
bartolomeo@suppo.fito World News@lemmy.world•Israel bombs 6th UN-run school in Gaza in 10 days, kills dozensEnglish22·1 year agoTheir source is an Israeli organization, lol. There are so many parallels between Israel’s theft of Palestine and the Europeans’ theft of North America, “their education/religion/culture is terrorism” is just another one on the list.

But seriously, I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s predatory, abusive, and wrong.
bartolomeo@suppo.fito World News@lemmy.world•Nato summit: Ukraine on 'irreversible path' to membershipEnglish68·1 year agoThat was a way worse path to NATO membership than just fixing the corruption issues that were keeping them out of NATO in the first place.
bartolomeo@suppo.fito World News@lemmy.world•U.S. military fails to reconnect Gaza pier, says mission will end soonEnglish3·1 year agoWait so what’s your take on this (from the article)
Video circulating online Saturday shows an IDF helicopter taking off from the beach with the U.S. pier in the backdrop. Two U.S. officials told CBS News that the U.S. pier was not used in the IDF operation. It is offshore to assist delivery of humanitarian aid. A U.S. official explained that the helicopter landed south of the facility on a beach but not within the cordoned area of the pier.
“The pier facility was not used in the operation to rescue hostages today in Gaza. An area south of the facility was used to safely return the hostages to Israel,” a U.S. official said. “Any such claim to the contrary is false. The temporary pier on the coast of Gaza was put in place for one purpose only, to help get more urgently needed lifesaving assistance into Gaza.”

With a population of around 2 million in Gaza that’s 10 pounds of food per person over some 50 days. About 90 grams of food per person per day. 90 grams is like half an apple.

Is Israel going to just keep re-bombing and re-displacing the entirety of Palestine?
bartolomeo@suppo.fito World News@lemmy.world•IDF ordered Hannibal directive on October 7 to prevent Hamas taking soldiers captiveEnglish2·1 year ago“Everyone knew by then that such vehicles could be carrying kidnapped civilians or soldiers,” a source in Southern Command told Haaretz. “There was no case in which a vehicle carrying kidnapped people was knowingly attacked, but you couldn’t really know if there were any such people in a vehicle. I can’t say there was a clear instruction, but everyone knew what it meant to not let any vehicles return to Gaza.”
Is that why there were so many charred cars? It never really added up to me- Hamas had no aerial capabilities (unless you count hang gliders), no tanks, RPGs are single use, and yet there were tons of blown up cars.

“Solar power is no longer available in Gaza either. Israeli drones have systematically targeted every solar panel on every roof across Gaza. They want people to lose hope and starve,” he continued.
Issa explained that people believe expired canned foods, when made available in Gaza, are making their children sick. This has led some to try to avoid such foods for fear that they would not be able to get treatment for their kids should they fall ill, given that northern Gaza no longer has any health system to speak of.

Probably comes with a picture and backstory of Prænh too, lol.
