Prime Minister of Malaysia: We will not accept Western pressure to denounce Hamas

CNN had on the ADL head, what a shit. Totally laundering the conflict through the lens of Palestine being an antisemite. FUCK CNN

Ed Markey was strongly booed by Boston crowd for calling for deescalation.

15 mins later, [Jake Auchincloss] seemed to respond directly:

"Deescalation is not possible when they are taking hostages. Israel did not ask America to deescalate on September 12, 2001. We stand w/ Israel.

Nitter

Someone posted earlier about isreal paying families to move into settlements. Anyone have any further reading on that?

Man, some corners of the web are continuing to run with "The reason why Mossad didn't see the attack coming was because the Palestinians were using Huawei smartphones." Here's some Taiwanese news channel discussing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXxMAM90tVY&t=38s

The key factor depends on what? Huawei

Are you serious?!

Two words: Hua wei

lol

Some reps in Iraqi Parlaiment have supposedly proposed creating a right to return for Iraqi Jews.

Ethan Klein on Israel-Palestine live right now.

Edit: THE FOLLOWING ARE ALL ETHAN AND HILA'S WORDS.

He's currently complaining about "lefties" saying "I stand with Palestine" after the Hamas "terrorist attack". Even before "Israel hasn't done anything, just counting dead bodies."

He also said "unprovoked" but cut that out.

He and Hila talking about how hard it is to explain to people what "people went through" how people lost their entire families etc. That's "barbaric" and "disgusting." This is people's "hate for Israel" leading them to support "Hamas terrorism".

And that these people they killed weren't even "settlers" because they left in 2005. "There's no settlements around Gaza."

He compares it to trying to support Iraqi terrorists after we [America] killed a million of them and that you wouldn't do that. You wouldn't support a 1000 Iraqis invading LA.

"I stand with Palestine too" but you wouldn't say something like that after 9/11.

They say "this is their only recourse" and that "this is self-defence" but this not that. They went to a block and murdered kids, desecrated bodies, burnt people alive. You can "stand with Iraq [Palestine] and also condemn Hamas which people don't wanna do."

And Hamas is not "freedom fighters". They terrorize Palestinians under their rule.

WHEN A COMMENTATOR BRINGS UP ISRAEL DOING THE SAME, Ethan says he's not denying that AND HILA SAYS "I AM DENYING THAT."

Ethan continues you still won't be in favor of an Iraqi terrorist cell coming and killing everyone in your neighborhood. America killed a million Iraqis, a lot more than Israel has killed Palestine, so okay you go and volunteer for an Iraqi terrorist to slaughter you and your mom.

He agrees Gaza is an open air prison and then says that chatter should sacrifice his family to Iraqi terrorists if he cares about freedom so much.

He's nauseated by the callousness and support for violent terrorists online. When someone says "Ethan please learn more", Hila says he lived there for five years and married an Israeli. He knows more than some American. And Ethan repeats that the commenter should let Iraqi terrorist murder his family.

Let's say a group of Native Americans terrorists leave the reservation and burning people, killing kids etc, would you say "I support Native Americans" at that moment? That they should be allowed to kill and rape everyone who was born in America? Hila says "no, she would fight for her family and her home." Reminder, she was in the IDF.

Prominent lefties on Twitter are callous cowards are Ethan's main enemies right now.

Hila says these people don't understand what people grieving in Israel are feeling right now. None of them know what to expect or how long this war will last. And anyone saying "Free Palestine" right now is saying "I support Hamas."

700 people were murdered and lefties are going "Let's go Hamas!"

You don't need to murder 700 innocent people, including kids to protest occupation.

Cheering on Hamas right now isn't going to bring peace. What's going to happen to Gaza now is an invasion and it's going to be horrible for them.

I've seen people I like and follow do Hamas propaganda like Mia Khalifa saying "this is a renaissance painting to a pic of Hamas terrorists." Side note - She isn't a good, based progressive either.

After like an hour of criticizing lefties on Twitter, he says "there's equally psychotic takes on the right" before going back to trying to find "Lefties" supporting Hamas like Matt Lech "liking" a tweet about the girl taken by Hamas being given water.

Then he says "Hamas is going to now start murdering civilians one at a time on TV".

When someone says Israel is saying they will level Gaza he says "that's psychotic too" but then turns it back to how that doesn't mean you support should Hamas. "Israel is bad too" right now just means you support Hamas.

"I don't need to talk about Israel's horrible things, I've done that."

Now Netanyahu is going to gain support and do a full invasion and he blames people saying "I support Palestine" right after a terrorist attack as the reason for it.

If I'm not "woke" enough, then go surrender yourself to ISIS.

If he and Hasan disagree on anything, then that means Hasan is a Hamas supporter.

Had a realization yesterday that Israel is significantly more bloodthirsty of a nation than the United States is. It’s not even close. I think the average American can at least recognize mistakes of our history and foreign policy. Even if it isn’t driven by ethics or the call to end imperialism, there’s a decent chunk of the population who believe our exploits abroad is all about the money or resources. Conversations I’ve had with combat vets or current military almost always end with “we’re the bad guys”. I think even the average American can recognize there are a lot of bad cops who abuse their power. I know I’m scraping a the bottom of the barrel but in my experience I can have that conversation with 80% of people.

Outside of the left wing, the average Israeli doesn’t see anything wrong and wants to genocide every single Palestinian. It’s unbelievable how evil the entire nation is.

Resistance fighters have reached the Palestinian city of Rahat in the occupied Naqab as the resistance advances from #Gaza. Rahat is 35km from Gaza, and 10km away from the West Bank.

45 Palestinians killed in airstrike on house, Gaza ministry says | AP News

The Israeli military bombarded a residential building in the densely populated Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza on Thursday, killing at least 45 people and injuring dozens more, Gaza's interior ministry said.

A late-afternoon airstrike hit the al-Shihab family house at the center of the Jabaliya camp, interior ministry spokesperson Eyad Bozum told The Associated Press. The al-Shihab house was packed with dozens of relatives at the time of the airstrike, Bozum said. Some family members had fled heavy bombing from other parts of the Gaza Strip and taken refuge there

Bozum said the death toll was likely to rise from that airstrike as civil defense workers were still pulling bodies from the rubble and counting the dead.

Acting Commissioner Hudson said on Friday if the powers were used, police would be able to search attendees without reasonable cause and request identification, where failure to provide relevant documents would be deemed an offence.

He said he expected to know by Saturday whether there were enough grounds to authorise the powers, which are outlined in the Law Enforcement Act.

"Sunday's protest is being organised by the same group that organised the violent protest last Monday," he said.

"The admitted inability of the organisers of the event to control the membership of who might assemble on Sunday, the threat to public safety, and the extent of the violent behaviour we saw last Monday, we believe that we are able to meet this threshold."

The wider powers, which can be used to "lock the city down", were introduced after the 2005 Cronulla riots and have been used "intermittently" since, the acting commissioner said.

the 2005 cronulla race riots "were triggered by an event the previous Sunday, when an altercation turned physical between a group of youths of Middle-Eastern appearance (referred to as "Lebanese" or "Lebs" by their opponents) and White Australian lifeguards on the beach. Following the reporting of this event by the tabloid media and "shock jocks" on local radio, a racially motivated gathering was organised via chain texting for the following weekend."

Hmm yes we must crack down on muslims again :s

Western freedoms make sense once you apply a minor correction.

In the west, we have

The freedom of the oppressor’s speech

The freedom of the oppressor’s religion

The freedom of the oppressor’s press

The oppressor’s right to assemble

The oppressor’s right to a fair trial

The oppressor’s right to bear arms

The oppressor’s right to life, liberty, and happiness

Do we know how many Iron Dome missiles Israel has?
