Here is a very good break down of events at October 7 from the confused perspective of IOF:

They go through Israeli witness statements from an Ynet article and cross examine them with other reporting on friendly Israeli fire. The picture that emerges is one of complete confusion and incompetence.

The Electronic Intifada (Dec 20, 2023) - Israel is lying about the number of its casualties in Gaza:

Hint: Israel only report 15% of casualties.

You know that the reason was the guy holding the camera wanted the woman and the gun to be in frame. It makes sense that they don't know anything about perspectives.

Rights group to prosecute Labour's Starmer for complicity in Israel's war crimes in Gaza

International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) has today issued UK Labour leader Keir Starmer, Shadow Attorney General for England and Wales Emily Thornberry and Shadow Defence Secretary David Lammy with a notice of intention to prosecute UK politicians for their role in aiding and abetting Israel’s perpetration of war crimes.

Sorry, I just did a lib-thing but oh boy it felt good! Apparently, the EU Commission is not allowed to represent the EU on any foreign policy stuff according to its charters (Title 2, Article 17, Code of Conduct for the Members of the European Commission). But we have all seen Ursula von der Leyen hug mass murdering Israel as if it was Santa and do all kind of foreign policy stuff.

Latest ex: https://twitter.com/vonderleyen/status/1712851530057961862

So I dug up the charter and emailed the Commission with my most lib lawyer voice I could muster and told them that they need to cease and desist their constitutional overstep. Pointed out that in my country, it carries a 2 years prison sentence for not following the expected constraints of a public office.

I'm almost completely sure that nothing happens but let se if "rule based order" also include the rules that they have made for themselves :) (yeah, it won't but I'll take any number that is greater than 0%)

The racial wealth gap is the largest of the economic disparities between Black and white Americans, with a white-to-Black per capita wealth ratio of 6 to 1. It is also among the most persistent. In this paper, we construct the first continuous series on white-to-Black per capita wealth ratios from 1860 to 2020, drawing on historical census data, early state tax records, and historical waves of the Survey of Consumer Finances, among other sources. Incorporating these data into a parsimonious model of wealth accumulation for each racial group, we document the role played by initial conditions, income growth, savings behavior, and capital returns in the evolution of the gap. Given vastly different starting conditions under slavery, racial wealth convergence would remain a distant scenario, even if wealth-accumulating conditions had been equal across the two groups since Emancipation. Relative to this equal-conditions benchmark, we find that observed convergence has followed an even slower path over the last 150 years, with convergence stalling after 1950. Since the 1980s, the wealth gap has widened again as capital gains have predominantly benefited white households, and convergence via income growth and savings has come to a halt.
