Edit: the line between “it happened organically through urban growth” and “was put there on purpose” is the line between “I like them” and “I don’t like them”. Like who you like but don’t expect everyone to buy into your narrative.

Is Israel still ethnically cleansing Palestine?

The IDF HQ is in central Tel Aviv.

Hell, forget the ME, the Greek army HQ is next to a metro station. The Canadian Army HQ is in central Ottawa. Indian army HQ in downtown New Delhi.

This is not the own that the “human shields” narrative for Lebanon wants it to be.

Saudi clown prince.

Yeah those guys are weird. Almost as weird as the “progressive except for Palestine” crowd.

Edit: actually, exactly like that crowd. Both are making exceptions to their progressivism for Palestine. Only some do it in a pro-Israeli and some in an anti-Israeli way. “Except for Palestine” both ways.

They have meant people not being killed, so I dunno, that’s something?

Not 100% sure if it fits the “news” mandate of this community, but it is not “opinion”, but rather a nuanced explainer of the context of very recent news (by a scholar with expertise and lived experience on the subject) of the kind that would appear on the front page of a news outlet (the BBC for example had something similar on its front page yesterday).

I wonder what excuse conservatives in the west are going to use for climate inaction now that the “it doesn’t matter what we do, China has more emissions” line is going to become irrelevant.

Americans, leash your fucking dog.

Making South Africa’s case, the bastards.

This is in Canada.

Well, yea, even if we accept the fucking Times of Israel as an objective source (lol), what the article says is he wasn’t allowed to study the contract he was offered. That shows the Israelis were not negotiating in good faith.

No western government would ever agree to a territorial deal without being able to first study the fucking map. I mean, would you agree to buy a laptop if you weren’t allowed to see the spec? Much less end a decades old major global conflict.

Go as far back as you like, and we’ll be litigating the Islamic conquest from the Roman Empire. This is 2024. Palestine recognized Israel at Oslo. Since there Israel hasn’t offered any deal with the exception of the Camp David disaster. Daniel Levy, an Israeli negotiator at the time has explained was not a genuine attempt at peace, but to impose a conquest. And in any case the Barak government was an exception, a parenthesis from the successive right wing governments.

These right wing governments instead have systematically sliced up Palestine salami slice after salami slice and basically imposed an apartheid regime in greater Israel. This isn’t just some marginal movement, they are in government. Netanyahu has in fact been in government so long that it is basically Israeli state policy.

We live in the post-Oslo Accords world. And Israel has been building facts on the ground since Oslo that make the two state(*) solution impossible.

(*) Where by “state” we mean an actual state, not some Bantustan.

The current Israeli government are evil fascists.

Are you a Vermonter?

I mean, that’s a literal statement of fact.
