WHY WOULD ISRAEL RELEASE THAT VIDEO OF HIM THROWING A STICK AT THE DRONE

This is like releasing footage of Che shouting "Shoot coward, you will only kill a man" right before his death. They've released the exact footage you should not release when a leader dies a hero's death.

The greatest gift the enemy and occupation can give me is to assassinate me… so I can go to Allah as a martyr by their hand. Today, I’m 59 years old and truthfully, I prefer to be killed by an F-16 or missiles than die from COVID, from a stroke, heart attack, car accident, or any other thing people die from… As you know, at 60 we are closer to death, to dying from natural causes… I prefer to die a martyr than to die a meaningless death.

—Yahya Sinwar

in this week's newsmega there have been several reports on posts for being "cringe" because the posts compare Sinwar to fictional figures in pop culture, like anime/game/books/movies. I haven't acted on these. Reporters, you have the casualty wrong. It's not that Sinwar resembles these fictional heroes, it's that fictional heroes are created to exemplify and embody real life virtues. Real people throughout history including Sinwar demonstrate virtues like bravery, defiance, and sense of justice through their real actions. The history of real people in turn informs and inspires the type of characters artists create in fiction.

When a poster says "the dying moments of Sinwar makes me think of one of my animes" they are consciously or unconsciously picking up on how fictional characters are inspired by reality. There is a rich and storied history of heroic, liberatory fighters that inspire artists, and while Sinwar was obviously his own man with his own legacy, he is also part of that tradition.

In short, no I will not take mod action on posts just for being cringe.

The stick that al-Sinwar threw did not fall, it was caught by the masses on the road to Al Quds (Jerusalem.)

I can't get this vid of Sinwar out of my head.

Israel is so self-righteous and so arrogant that they must have assumed this would be seen as their glorious Osama Bin Laden moment. But it's the opposite. It's like something out of a dystopia movie where the bad guys have all the advantages and all the tech but the hero dying in the rubble refuses to quit. A stick is all he has and it's a physical struggle for him to use it but he uses it anyway.

The Israeli details about the killing of Sinwar depict him as fighting to the end. He was wearing a keffiyeh and fatigues. And stares down his high tech assassin’s flying robot. Throws a stick at it with his one good hand. For a year, Israel has portrayed Sinwar as a coward hiding in tunnels surrounded by hostages. And they will continue to portray him that way. But the details of his death they’ve released will solidify his image as fighting Israel to the end.

Speaking of Sinwar, even in Gaza there has been a wave of trash floating over people about him, a lot would curse him the past few months because they believed he was sitting comfortably while they had to endure the war, this breaks that. And I don't think anyone was expecting this 62 year old man to have been fighting in the front lines, you don't understand how dumb israel is for showing us how they killed him, they disproved the same lies they've spread for an entire year, a cowar rat living in the tunnels surrounded by human shields turns out to have been the entire time in the safest place can be when fighting western forces... the front lines

I think they don't want to publish it in part because it'll be hard for people to forget. Like the video of the man burning alive while on IV.

Every little detail I hear about Sinwar's life and death makes it feel straight out of Shōnen Jump. A man born in a refugee camp that outlives him. A man who went from emiseration to a college degree. A man who became fluent in his oppressors language in captivity. A man who went from indefinite imprisonment to leading the resistance. A man who projects a Samsonian level of indomitability. They have to keep making excuses that 'he's in another country', 'he's underground' for why they just can't kill him for years, but you can find him walking down the street in Gaza and just pull him aside for an interview.

He's still above ground fighting, a year into the entire region being carpet-bombed with the expressed intent to kill him specifically. He gets hit with tanks, missiles, dronefire, he's still fighting with a severed hand–he's 61 years old! Even when he's bleeding out in a dusty-old chair exposed to the elements, the surveillance drone pilots are still instinctively dodging the pieces of rebar he's chucking at the damned thing in a final 'fuck you' to his oppressors with his one good hand.

They have to finish him off with a sniper round. They can't touch this man. They can't be near this man. He's the bogeyman. It feels intrinsically embarrassing to even make the comparison–it makes me feel like my analysis is fundamentally juvenile, but I just cannot shut it out of my mind, it keeps coming back to me the more I think about it–this man went out like Gojo Satoru. A life and a death that can only be rivaled by Che Guevara's in terms of it feeling straight out of fiction. What a guy.

It's completely insane to me that the Israelis actually released the video of Sinwar's death, along with a bunch of details that confirmed that he died fighting until his last breath on the front lines. Do they not understand how that looks?

The Harris campaign has released a 5 point agenda to "Create Opportunity for Black Men", that, on the surface, appears to be an attempt to steady what I am sure are cratering polls, and cynically, seems to have been created so they have something to point to and blame black men for not supporting her if and when she loses. Among the highlights: legal weed and "protecting cryptocurrency" lmao

If this were a Trump platform, the liberal media would be screaming about him a racist for thinking what's most important to black men is crypto and weed.

FT - Israel races to supply anti-missile shield: Intense war demands have left the IDF relying on the US to fill gaps in air defences

Israel faces a looming shortage of interceptor missiles as it shores up air defences to protect the country from attacks by Iran and its proxies, according to industry executives, former military officials and analysts.

The US is racing to help close gaps in Israel’s protective shield, announcing on Sunday the deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) antimissile battery, ahead of an expected retaliatory strike from Israel on Iran that risks further regional escalation.

“Israel’s munitions issue is serious,” said Dana Stroul, a former senior US defence official with responsibility for the Middle East.

“If Iran responds to an Israel attack [with a massive air strike campaign], and Hizbollah joins in too, Israel air defences will be stretched,” she said, adding that US stockpiles were not limitless. “The US can’t continue supplying Ukraine and Israel at the same pace. We are reaching a tipping point.”

As it turns out, profit maximization, lean manufacturing, and just-in-time logistics is not compatible with a rapidly expanding warfront. Apparently, stockpiles and excess industrial capacity are kind of important when you want to fight another country with a peer or near-peer industrial base, let alone multiple.

The US-supplied Thaad battery, which is designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, will sit alongside Israel’s Arrow system. It bolsters Israel’s overall air defences as Benjamin Netanyahu’s government plans its retaliatory strike for Iran’s missile barrage in October, which Tehran said was to avenge the killing of the leaders of the Hamas and Hizbollah militant groups.

Is "sit along side" metaphorical or literal, here? My gut feeling is that this is literal, and they are going to place the THAAD battery, which will be operated by ~100 US troops, next to an Arrow battery, meaning that the strategy is to use US troops as human shields to deter a strike on the interceptor batteries.

“We are not seeing Hizbollah’s full capability yet. It has only been firing at around a tenth of its estimated prewar launching capacity, a few hundred rockets a day instead of as many as 2,000,” said Assaf Orion, a former Israeli brigadier general and head of strategy at the Israel Defense Forces.

“Some of that gap is a choice by Hizbollah not to go full out, and some of it is due to degradation by the IDF . . . But Hizbollah has enough left to mount a strong operation,” Orion added. “Haifa and northern Israel are still on the receiving end of rocket and drone attacks almost every day.”

Analysts said that defence planners and Israel’s AI-powered air defences were having to choose which areas to protect over others.

More than 20,000 rockets and missiles have been fired at Israel over the past year from Gaza and Lebanon alone, according to official Israeli figures.

“During the October 1 attack, there was a sense the IDF reserved some Arrow interceptors in case Iran fired its next salvo at Tel Aviv,” said Ehud Eilam, a former researcher at Israel’s Ministry of Defence. “It’s only a matter of time before Israel starts to run out of interceptors and has to prioritise how they are deployed.”

We are getting to the point where Israel is having to choose which missiles to let through, which is not a great spot to be in when your population has a very low tolerance for casualties.

"Israel" spent years talking about how Hamas uses human shields when fighting, yet when they found Sinwar (actually, Sinwar found them) he was alone armed with nothing but an AK, a vest and a bunch of grenades. Sinwar proved them wrong over and over again, he was not in Qatar, he wasn't hiding in bunkers never coming out and he wasn't fighting against the enemy hiding behind defenseless women and children. He stood alone against an elite group of "israeli" soldiers that included artillery and tanks, he fought them even as a tank shell severed his hand and left him mortally wounded.., but still kept fighting, all by himself with whatever strenght he had left.

When you read the details about how "israel" got him, it proves that Sinwar, despite his age, was still able to fend off a much larger "israeli" force by himself with inferior tools, and only after they employed overwhelming firepower they were able to take him down. "Israel" will not win and destruction awaits for them at the end of the road.

OF COURSE the CEO of Wikifeet lives in Tel Aviv.

The B2’s that bombed Yemen flew out of Australia. British warplanes are thought to be participating in the bombing of Lebanon. German ships are taking down drones. France is contributing to the Iron Dome. The US is tracking targets for assassination. It’s basically a fucking crusade at this point.

Harris says death of Yahya Sinwar is chance to finally end "Israel"-Gaza war | The Guardian

Kamala Harris has hailed the death of Yahya Sinwar as an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza and prepare for “the day after” when Hamas no longer dominates the territory.

The US vice-president and Democratic nominee said “justice has been served” with the death of the Hamas leader, adding that the US, "Israel" and the wider world were “better off as a result”.

The zionists are trying to accelerate their extermination campaign in North Gaza at these moments.

Hossam Shabat, journalist in North Gaza:

What’s happening in the Jabalia refugee camp can be summed up as a rapid extermination mission; we have never seen anything like this.

Just go back from the assembly we held at our university, and we resolved: The building will be occupied by the students and the authorities will be displaced*, effective now the premises are under student control for an indefinite period of time. Classes will resume as normal (most will be held in the street). We also declared a state of permanent assembly.

*I'll dig more into this. We voted on displacing them, however, I think some will remain in their posts to fulfill their duties. What I think happens is that their authority is shared with the students, meaning that we kinda abolished hierarchies lmao.

Meanwhile, more and more universities are being occupied by students, althrough such occupations differ from one another. I think the number is well above 50 institutions around the country, more will be joining us as the movement gets bigger.

A few days ago, milei announced that occupations are illegal and thus efforts must be directed to evict those who participate in the occupations.

So, anybody knows how to deal with riot police? Honestly I don't know what to expect, in one hand we're protected by the right of protest and there's also the fact that neither police or federal forces are allowed to intervene in universities (they can't even step inside), on the other, it's milei we're talking about, not that he gives a shit about all this. I do expect shady people to come and go from the building to collect intelligence for the cops, this has happened before.

What keeps me worried are possible sporadic attacks by pro-milei people. Today, during the assembly to decide on the occupation of the University of Quilmes, a group of libertarians tried to crash it by using tear gas on students. They were promptly kicked off the establishment and the university was occupied regardless. This hasn't happened in previous times when universities were occupied because the conext was different, but now, fascists and libertarians (they are the same thing) are completely empowered by the state. Gotta keep watch I guess.

death to "israel" btw

Tonight, over 100 armed Israeli terrorist settlers invaded the village of Jaloud in Nablus, West Bank.

They set cars ablaze, fired at houses, hurled stones, and cut water and electricity lines. After their assault, they blasted music and danced in the streets, celebrating the terror they had caused.

Sinwar died like an anime character, and I don't mean to trivialize his death with that statement, I mean it in the most respectful way possible. Defiant to the end, almost brings a tear to my eye how powerful it was.

I'm convinced that the Zionists sent the drone to kill him out of fear that if any of them tried to do so in person, he would have merc'd them with the stick.

excuse me I'm gonna wax poetic for a bit, except poorly written because I only have a couple minutes.

All through this it's become more and more clear that the oppressed of the world, the very people the "civilized" world consider to be "sub-human savages", have exhibited far more humanity than any of the ghouls in the "civilized" world ever has. In them I see the kind of strength, bravery, compassion, and fire that the "civilized" world arrogantly believe themselves to possess; the oppressed and their defiance to the savagery of the "civilized" world are truly inspiring, they have shown what humanity truly looks like. The "civilized" world believes themselves to be the bastion of compassion and humanity. But that cannot be further from the truth. The "civilized" world is a world of evil, cowardice, and barbarity. Their only desire is to satiate their own greed and desire to crush and dominate others. They have no values, and I can hardly believe they can exhibit human emotions. The "civilized" world are the true savages and barbarians, only hungering for blood, slaves, and sacrifices. Only... when it comes to the "savages" they look down on, they don't consider any of them to be "sacrifices" in any sense.

This isn't limited to Palestine, this goes throughout all of history of anti-colonial struggles.

I just saw a video of a child being burned alive in a hospital tent Israel bombed.

I feel sick. I don’t have words for what I want to happen to the people that did this. If I found the words and wrote them here the FBI would show up at my door.

I hope every American politician and every past or current member of the IDF experiences even 1/10th the pain and suffering they have inflicted on innocent children, women and men. Every IDF soldier deserves to be burnt alive in a tent like their victims. I’d say they deserve worse but I literally cannot think of anything worse.

I think Harris and Biden are starting to realize they are losing the Arab Americans. It should probably be it's own thread but I wonder what people here think of this.

On September 27th, the Biden regime issued DoD Directive 5240.01: https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodd/524001p.PDF?ver=UpTwJ66AyyBgvy7wFyTGbA%3d%3d

This directive does what the libs keep telling us Trump is going to do - it creates a legal framework for the US Military to be called in to "assist" local law enforcement and that they can be authorized to use deadly force against American citizens when doing so.

“Germany should give a part of its territory to the Israelis.”

This comes after Germany’s immense support to provide Israel with weapons.
