Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 412: A Bad Deal on the Good Book

(+) Yeah! (+)

and yet it sounds like the idf got what they wanted out of this

"This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war," WCK CEO Erin Gore said. "This is unforgivable."

The European Union accused Israel on Monday of provoking famine and using starvation as a weapon of war

I actually have to remind myself that it's pretty hard to deal with constant propaganda so people who defend the idf are just brain washed more than anything.

I get that too, which is why I don't attack Nanis personally.

But this whole situation is so beyond fucked at this point.

They are enforcing a famine in Gaza and mysteriously all the people the aid organizations send to help the hunger crisis end up dying

Why
No seriously, why? can you explain why would it benefit Israel to do that?

This response is literally the worst thing Israel could have done for its own safety.

Avi Dichter, Israeli Minister of Agriculture, called for the war to be "Gaza's Nakba" on Channel 12.[79] Ariel Kallner, another Member of the Knesset from the Likud party, similarly wrote on social media that there is "one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of [1948]. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join".[80] Amihai Eliyahu, Israeli Minister of Heritage, called for dropping an atomic bomb on Gaza.[79][81]

Israeli energy minister Israel Katz said "All the civilian population in Gaza is ordered to leave immediately. We will win. They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world."[82][63]

President of Israel Isaac Herzog blamed the "entire nation" of Palestine for the 7 October attack.[21] He further said "It is not true this rhetoric about civilians being not aware, not involved. It is absolutely not true."[63]

Yitzhak Kroizer, representing the extreme-right Otzma Yehudit party in the Knesset, stated in a radio interview that the "Gaza Strip should be flattened, and for all of them there is but one sentence, and that is death."[83] Tally Gotliv of the Likud party called for the use of nuclear weapons against Gaza.[83]

Major General Ghassan Alian, Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, stated: "There will be no electricity and no water (in Gaza), there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell".[73]

IDF Major general Giora Eiland wrote "Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist".[74] He added "Creating a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a necessary means to achieving the goal."[74] Israeli historian and holocaust scholar Omer Bartov noted that no Israeli politician nor anyone in the IDF denounced this statement.[74]

The spokesperson for the Israeli army said, in regards to Israel's bombing of Gaza, "the emphasis is on damage not accuracy". This statement was interpreted by legal scholars as intention of destruction.[63]

"Creating a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a necessary means to achieving the goal."

Why
No seriously, why? can you explain why would it benefit Israel to do that?

Maybe not if they dont intend to leave anyone behind to radicalize

Imagein you being called a evil murderer just because you want to live your life. Just because you don't want a suicide bomber to explode himself on the bus you are riding.
Imagine not wanting rockets to hit your home.
We just want peace and quiet :|

I'm researching my ballot for the PA primary and there's this Dean Phillips guy from Minnesota challenging Biden for the presidency. I've literally never seen this guy's name before.

The fact that one excited exclamation derailed Howard Dean's campaign is still crazy as fuck. The public's appetite for awkward and crazy back then was like a world removed from today.

he got third out of four in the primary, barely beating Dick Gephardt. dude was already losing hard

That has nothing to do with the actions of the Israeli government, lms.

You know what, no. I'm being unfair to Dean. His YEAH wasn't crazy at all, it was a decent speech, he was just feeding off the crowd's energy, and he momentarily got a little too excited. The media overblew it and completely fucked him.

I feel like I remember hearing that part of the issue was that the "YEAH!" was so loud because it was picked up by a different mic than the rest of the speech, or something like that.

Today, I learned that the court filing reflecting Trump's bond in the civil fraud case was "returned for correction" and specifically, for the inclusion of a current financial statement and power of attorney. But all is not what it seems. 1/

The financial statement that is missing does not seem to be Trump's. Rather, the court appears to be demanding these documents from Knight Specialty Insurance Co. to ensure that company is sufficiently capitalized and authorized to post the bond. 2/

As of tonight, those documents do not appear on the docket. 3/

Meanwhile, we still don't know what fee Trump paid for the bond or exactly what collateral he pledged, especially as Don Hanley gave slightly different accounts to various media outlets. 4/

But you know who likely DOES have all of those details? Retired federal judge Barbara Jones, the court-appointed monitor in the case. Under a 3/21/24 order, the Trump Org must give her advanced notice of their efforts to secure surety bonds. 5/

Image The information she is entitled to includes "any financial disclosures requested or required, any information provided in response to such requests, any representations made by the Trump Org. in connection with acquiring such bonds" 6/

"any personal guarantees made by any of the defendants, & any obligations of the Trump Organization required by the surety." 7/

And I can think of a courtroom full of journalists, as well as a bunch of lawyers in the New York Attorney General's office, who would love to know what Barbara Jones presumably knows right now. FIN

Turns out one of the people killed was an American citizen.

Theyve crossed the line in the sand that Biden set, well see what happens.

The Biden administration recently authorized the transfer of over 1,000 500-pound bombs and over 1,000 small-diameter bombs to Israel, according to three people familiar with the matter, adding to its arsenal despite US concerns over the countrys conduct in the war in Gaza.

The transfer authorization of the MK82 bombs and small-diameter bombs, more than 2,000 munitions in total, occurred on Monday, according to two of the people familiar.

The US is also engaging in new arms sales with the Israelis, however, including an $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets that the administration is preparing to approve, CNN reported on Monday.
