Hamas Attacks, Israel Responds II

Seventy-year-old gagged

The battalion has previously been accused of attacking Palestinian civilians and came to the attention of the Biden administration following the death, in January 2022, of a seventy-year-old Palestinian who was also a US national. Omar Assad is said to have been left tied up, gagged and mistreated in an abandoned building. According to the researchers of Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), the battalion has been proven guilty of killing unarmed civilians in at least three other cases. Under pressure from Blinken to conduct "a thorough criminal investigation," the Israeli military has previously reprimanded the commander of the unit that killed Omar Assad and suspended two non-commissioned officers.

This is the way the Israeli government handles war crimes by these religious thugs.
These people should be on a hunting list like any terrorist or war criminal.

 

Ah, okay. Guaranteed life time employment,....unless they want real results.

 

The worst problem is not censorship, but rather actively promoting propaganda. The WSJ covered that. Here are charts showing the evolution of Gaza/Israel content on test accounts. The key fact is: those videos ran 4:1 against Israel.

What does this mean?????

 

Well, they've been going on here for around 20 years already.

Really

 

He would be made fun off, for thinking that Biden could dissolve the government

 

Us vs Them culture of policing & militaries. If you forced me to do this to you, college kid, then whatever happens on the quad stays on the quad. And we'll expel you too for being too critical of a foreign state. Maybe someone here can explain how squelching college kids' voices plays into the Israel rehab tour post Bibi's Gaza destruction. Because I don't see how it benefits the Israeli cause.

If there's something I know about teenagers, tell them not to do something and they do this:

 

OMG those sacrosanct "basic campus rules" like no underage drinking or recreational drug use! Will y'all be screeching after a big football upset when the goalposts are torn down by these wilding, Pro-Hamas yoots?

 

I'm old, kids in their early twenties are kids.

 

And that is perfectly and exhaustively representative of what is happening at those protests?

 

On voit se multiplier ce genre de vidéos qui montre l’ampleur de la déshumanisation des palestiniens par les israéliens. Ces jeunes grimés utilisent comme son pour une vidéo « drôle » sur Tiktok le cri d'un Palestinien qui a perdu un proche dans un bombardement à Gaza 💔 pic.twitter.com/J40ABlWLNf

Totally normal stuff, yet again.

 

Tell me again, what does it mean when members of the press are being violently tackled to the ground and arrested for the crime of *checks notes* filming and reporting on a protest? pic.twitter.com/dEFylm0Jux

I guess they were made for assaulting members of the press at college protests, not taking out active school shooters.

So this is something the majority of you want to see and think will be good for the country/society long-term?

 

This guy is hardly unique, Bibi himself would prefer Trump. So yeah, Biden has been going out on limb for an Israeli government comprised of many people who wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire, if their public statements about him are anything to go by.
There are bigger reasons why this must remain a non-factor in Biden's decision making but from a personal POV it can't exactly be very fun for him and his admin.

 

Bibi cannot even manage to not have a member of his government put his or her foot in their mouth every other day but you expect these heterogeneous collections of protestors to be able to consistently rein in the most extreme members among them?

And going from that POV - that there are extreme people among them who express abhorrent views - to believing that the answer is to send in the police/national guard to clear all of them out is still a bridge too far imho.
