Those stories regarding killing babies have been shown conclusively to be false, and the journalists responsible have publicly retracted the statements and apologized for the disinformation.
This explanation sounds too flimsy to believe. Seems more like a cover story after the fact for the insane bombing of hospitals and a caravan of ambulances within a clear pattern of overall genocide.
This certainly has the tone of disinformation released by a state intelligence agency. Justification after the fact for brutal hospital bombings.
This is the kind of deadly nonsense that happens when you have a religious state. US Christian nationalists should take note, though they support Netanyahu for the sole reason that it reinforces their biblical doomsday prophecies of their own.
So the SVP gets 29%. The Social Democrats have 17%, the Free Democrats have 15% and the Center Alliance has 15%. The SVP 29% would still not be enough if any two the others form a coalition against them.
Of course. The timing of the Hamas attack seems very likely to be to disrupt the upcoming summit that had been scheduled between Israel and Saudi Arabia. And many were predicting that the Saudis would throw the Palestinians under the bus, in order to secure lucrative oil and weapons deals with the Israelis. Now that deal is off the table. Seems the Palestinians had the choice between genocide by doing nothing, or genocide in retaliation for the Hamas attack.
The US State Department has a long-standing strong alliance with the Israelis. Billions of dollars of weaponry is sold to the Israeli military yearly, with a direct profit for the US defense industry.
I don’t consider the Pentagon to be a reliable source for information when they have a vested interest in the conflict. Remember when they said Saddam Hussain had “weapons of mass destruction” which was used to justify the Iraq invasion? Well there never were any. The Pentagon manufactured that disinformation, and media parroted it like loyal puppets.
Massive surveillance programs won’t stop crime. Instead it will be used to persecute target demographic groups.
The article has an embedded side-note indicating that the measure is unlikely to pass.
It all really comes down to how Saudi Arabia positions itself regarding the Palestinians.
Meanwhile bodies are piling up on the streets in Gaza with nobody to count them.
Acts of authoritarian control always claim to be done “for the children”. They don’t care about children, they want control.
It certainly puts a chilling effect on the right to protest when police interrogate individuals on site, demanding papers. It is certainly plausible that these names collected would be used for future persecution by the authorities.
No good guys here. Hamas doesn’t seem to serve the Palestinians, they serve their own Jihadist agenda. Isreal remains a fascist apartheid regime which has been systematically killing all Palestinians in a genocide for decades.
Nuclear power is neither safe nor ecologically sustainable. The waste is immensely toxic for hundreds of thousands of years. The model is centralized so wealthy oligarchs own the power source and sell it to everyone else. Better to move toward distributed power generation that isn’t massively toxic. Greenpeace must stay anti-nuke.
The bill also contained provisions to cut funding for the IRS so rich tax cheats could get away with it. Everyone knew the bill would fail. It was theater on the part of the House Republicans, who passed the bill to the Dem controlled Senate.
