Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I wish they would return fire. Peacekeepers have the right to defend themselves.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

What exactly is the point of peacekeepers if the second an invading force starts shelling the area they just fuck off? The UN didn't issue you those rifles for show.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 month ago

Not the first time. In 2006 they did this, killing four peacekeepers from Austria, Finland, India, and Canada. Israel claimed that they were attacked by Hezbollah and were firing back. The UN and the various foreign governments involved did their usual meaingless polite-letter shit. The IOF got away with it as usual.

hm i wonder if this would count as a violation of international law? oh well, no way of knowing i guess.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

Let's see old Bibi wriggle his way out of this one

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

It would count if the "international community" had any spine whatsoever and actually upheld the laws it claims to care about.

Yes, open up as many fronts as possible while fighting a massive internal uprising, that can only end well for you

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately, when the people you're firing on have been starved for any kind of economic base over the last two decades and subjected to repeated bombings and invasions prior to this, it is apparently something you absolutely can do. As to whether it will work out long term? Israel has access to the US brrrrrrrrrrrr

Over the long term, Israel's overall domestic situation may end up looking more like El Salvador's or Panama's or Qatar's. But who cares? The country will plunge further into a caste-system of Jewishness, while the nation's finances will be tied increasingly to western financial interests. That feels like a feature rather than a bug.

The entity doesn't have another 8 years in it, I think

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We'll know in eight years. But I wouldn't put money on Israel just vanishing in a puff of hate. Haiti still exists, ffs. Iraq and Syria still exist, despite being bombed to shit repeatedly. Countries with far less have endured for far longer.

And there are simply too many Israelis with too much to lose for it to vanish inside a decade.

Last night I was talking about the base to a friend and he said they should livestream the base for when the Israelis hit it as proof, I told him they could probably flatten the whole base on camera and get away with it.

The Israeli government could drop a nuclear bomb on the Superbowl, and the American government would apologize to the Israeli government and offer to reimburse them for the aviation fuel used.

Statement by the Irish prime minister:

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mealy mouthed rubbish. I don't know why I expected more.

"Deeply concerned"

Call me when it's "we will seek gross and disproportionate retribution. Our name will be a thing of fear in the mouths of our foes.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Still hopped up on that useless international law bullshit

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

There can only be one IDF.

FIGHT.

Simon Harris is a sack of shit who would strongly condem Israel levelling Dublin and chopping his legs off, but not do anything about it. USA uses Shannon Airport as a military base and delivers weapons to Israel from there, and has since forever, and he, nor any of the other criminals in government, have ever given a single shit.

Most useless organization in the world
