Just in case it was missed due to the hospital bombing:

Gaza: IDF airstrike a UNRWA school sheltering displaced families

“At least six people were killed this afternoon when an UNRWA school was hit in al-Maghazi refugee camp, in Gaza’s middle area. “Dozens were injured (including UNRWA staff) and severe structural damage was caused to the school. “The numbers are likely to be higher. This is outrageous, and it again shows a flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians. No place is safe in Gaza anymore, not even UNRWA facilities." The school was hit during Israeli forces airstrikes and bombardment on the Gaza Strip. "At least 4,000 people have taken refuge in this UNRWA school turned shelter. They had and still have nowhere else to go."

I seriously doubt these chucklefucks are Zionists. They're just typical Islamophobic white supremacists.

Compare them with the Zionist fash that Awoo posted: https://hexbear.net/comment/4125080. The protestors need to protect themselves from two varieties of fash: Zionists and Islamophobes.

US Commanders Assume Role in Israeli Operations against Gaza [Tasnim Exclusive]

Due to the severe psychological distress experienced by a majority of Israeli military commanders, a number of American commanders have taken charge of 'some of their operations' since the commencement of Zionist attacks on Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Take with grain of salt.

Top story right now on CNN’s website is about how they have done a big “CNN Investigates” on the Gaza hospital. And of course, their in-depth, independent analysis shows that the explosion was due to a rocket from Gaza. Afaik their “in-depth analysis” just consists of talking to former US military officers and RAND Corp freaks.

I haven’t really been following this stuff all that closely, so I don’t know how to debunk what they’re saying but FYI western media is doubling down on it NOT being the Israelis after Al-Jazeera explained how it was them.

Edit: again, I’m not really good on all this OSINT stuff but it seems like their “analysis” is just regurgitating stuff we heard like 3 days ago. Smol crater, that doesn’t sound like a JDAM, etc. Early in the article they seem to say it was a rocket that blew up mid flight and the debris lit cars on fire (ok….). Then they talk about that scorch pattern or whatever that CLEARLY shows it came from the northeast. Except they say “well a rocket from the SW would have burned up the ground on approach, causing that pattern, or something falling wouldn’t have left anything like that”… completely contradicting their falling schrapnel theory.

Another video of an Israeli influencer making fun out of Palestinian / Arab women living through bombing and getting ready (with excessive makeup). She’s getting ready with debris covered products, and there’s ‘explosions’ at the end. What sort of sadist racism is this?

The desperate pantomime of a fascist movement circling the drain, these people have turned themselves into soulless monstrosities for the sake of a decrepit empire led by a zombie who thinks it's 1973

A society of death worshipers will always implode

Some continued and sustained strengthening of KKE (Communist Party of Greece) in the last 1-2 years happening. After getting good results in the last parliamentary elections earlier this year (~7.5%) they now poll at ~10% in the first time since who knows when . And that level of support has been pretty much confirmed in the local elections (for regional and mayoral authorities) where communist candidates recieved ~10.5% of the votes country wide if you aggregate and elected mayors in some pretty big cities/populous Athens municapilities..

Yeah they are still at best mid-bad on LGBT issues (tho improving at a very slow pace). Yeah their foreign policy positions are still only ~70% there with some ultra left analysis on China and a couple of other issues. Yeah they have other issues. But they are still a hardboiled Marxist Lenninist party with little to no compromise on their positions and historical analysis or messaging. Very well and stricktly demcent organized ,with deep roots and activities on the union sphere and increasing membership and young support. Pretty much immune to spooks , gladio like infiltration or demsoc turns.

Looking at the state of communist parties and movements in most of the west , at eurocommunism and in general the post war trajectory of most , youdont have that kind of party with that kind of support and organizational strength almost anywhere else. So despite its flaws i cant really complain too much and its a bright spot for sure.

Another positive is that with KKE at this level of strength any EU promoted anti-communist or even anti-protest legislative stuff (that we see start popping up more and more around Europe) is basicaly dead on arival and impossible to implement and will only strengthen it while if KKE was weakened and at like 4% they would have attacked already

How has the media of settler-colonial societies been covering occupation and resistance? I know that the native American genocides were covered mostly as "brutal savages slaughtering le innocent civilian white settlers who just wants to bring civilisation to the blighted wasteland". How did media sympathetic to Rhodesia, apartheid South Africa or even Nazi Germany (although they never really got to the settler phase before having their assess kicked) talk about resistance?

Me: Ukrainian propaganda is the most transparent and pathetic thing I've ever seen. It can't get any worse from here.

Channel 4 continues to do actual journalism

Although he’s inevitably a lib, their former main anchor Jon Snow did some good things in the past that annoyed the gammons

Edit: relevant bits as I can’t figure out Wikipedia deep linking:

In June 2017, it was reported that Snow had shouted "fuck the Tories" at Glastonbury. He was criticised for his views on air by a guest on Channel 4 News, Conservative minister Grant Shapps later refused to appear on the show, doubting its neutrality. Shapps stated: "I don’t think he [Jon Snow] can deal in an even handed manner in any interview with a Conservative MP. He has lost all credibility."

And

In March 2019, while reporting at a pro-Brexit protest, Snow said that he had "never seen so many white people in one place". Media regulator Ofcom received 2,644 complaints about Snow's comment

Israel tankers are already adding diy cope cages to their Merkavas

To be fair, I would add one too. The calculation I would make however is that when the drone operator sees our tanks they'll go for the one without a cope cage first.

Rybar saying that lot of the attacks/strikes happening in Iraq and Syria are just for show:

While the global community speculates about when the IDF ground operation in Gaza Strip will begin, in Iraq and Syria, the parties involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are busy creating the illusion of an ongoing struggle between them.

This morning, the Israeli Air Force once again targeted the airports in Damascus and Aleppo in Syria, which they had previously attacked last week. The bombings damaged the newly reconstructed runways, resulting in flight delays and cancellations.

Essentially, these airstrikes are similar to the shelling of American bases by pro-Iranian groups: while some attempt to demonstrate their unwavering commitment to the war against the "Zionist occupiers," the latter are determined to confront the "Axis of Resistance" on distant battlefields.

What these attacks have in common is that they do not cause significant damage. The strikes on Syrian airports are unlikely to seriously disrupt the logistics of Iran or Hezbollah, especially considering the amount of cargo that regularly passes through the Al Bukamal border crossing on the Iraqi border.

Despite the loud slogans and mutual threats, neither side has escalated the situation thus far, limiting themselves to mere displays of action. This arrangement proves to be quite convenient: it allows for the selling of a dramatic image of all-out war with the enemy to the public, without actually engaging in it.

Wait can Biden actually force TV channels to air his (non-emergency) address?

Isn't that not very freedom of speech-y?

Who is in charge of Israel's twitter account? This is an official channel of communication for an entire "country" and they have nothing better to do that complain about American celebrities condemning them?

United States of America vetoed the Brazilian resolution of the UN Security Council to cancel Israel's evacuation orders for Palestinian residents of Gaza to the south.

Total:

— 🗳✅ 12 votes in favor

— 🗳❌1 Against (USA)

— 🗳🤷‍♂️ 2 Abstentions (UK and Russia)

The Israelis "feel very strongly", eh?

The White House spokesman John F. Kirby, pressed on Biden’s call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, did not say whether Netanyahu directly denied responsibility for the explosion, but said, “I think we certainly recognize that they feel very strongly that this was not caused by them.”

Protests reported near NATO base in Turkey’s Malatya We are getting reports of angry protesters massing near a NATO facility in Turkey’s Malatya province, where US servicemen are believed to be also stationed.

Al Jazeera Arabic is reporting that the demonstrators gathered outside Kurecik Radar Station to denounce the deadly air strike on a hospital in Gaza, which Palestinian authorities blame on Israel.

A video clip posted by Al Jazeera Arabic on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, showed demonstrators waving Palestinian flags and shouting pro-Palestinian slogans, as Turkish police stood behind guardrails to protect the NATO facility.

Recently, the news that the DPRK 🇰🇵 started to supply ammunition to the Russian army has become public.
