Latest insane propaganda stunt by Israel

CW:SA being discussed

I am sitting on the 7pm Bright Line from Orlando to Miami and it is absolutely full.

I had to check my biases. I thought that I'd be the only one riding this train, because Florida is terminally carbrain.

HN lore: a news submission that gets flagged is removed from the listing of posts on HN and basically hidden.

It's interesting because there are a bunch of comments basically agreeing with the statements re Palestine and against a genocide, and of course that means it gets flagged.

Bonus: casual Irish racism - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37976176

Given Irish history, and this person's Irish origin, I can understand how, in an unguarded and possibly reflexive moment, he could see this as merely support for a smaller, inferior, insurgent force against a larger, militarily superior occupying force, as this can be argued to loosely parallel Irish 20C history involving Britain.

At the same time, I'm surprised because this person organized a cosmopolitan gathering, and it seems likely that he would have adopted a more cosmopolitan and sensitive attitude.

I suppose the old adage is true, "The tree may leave the forest, but its roots are still in the soil."

I also see a lot of comments that are super similar, accusing Palestinians of causing civil unrest in neighboring countries that have taken them in. Bot spam or a concerted propaganda push

NEW YORK — The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is facing a political firestorm after the organization promoted a pro-Palestine rally in the wake of Hamas militants’ attacks on Israeli communities.

The group did not organize Sunday’s rally, its leadership said Monday. But several lawmakers with DSA ties are distancing themselves from what was said at the event.

Why does the fed want unemployment to go up?

I don't understand why? Why do they want to see unemployment go up??? Why does the market go down when employment numbers go up?? Someone enlightenment my regarded mind

In April 2022, the Pakistani military, with the encouragement of the U.S., helped organize a no-confidence vote to remove Prime Minister Imran Khan. Ahead of the ouster, State Department diplomats privately expressed anger to their Pakistani counterparts over what they called Pakistan’s “aggressively neutral” stance on the Ukraine war under Khan. They warned of dire consequences if Khan remained in power and promised “all would be forgiven” if he were removed.

Since Khan’s ouster, Pakistan has emerged as a useful supporter of the U.S. and its allies in the war, assistance that has now been repaid with an IMF loan. The emergency loan allowed the new Pakistani government to put off a looming economic catastrophe and indefinitely postpone elections — time it used to launch a nationwide crackdown on civil society and jail Khan.
