A Times visual analysis found that munition debris filmed at the scene was remnants of a GBU-39, a bomb designed and manufactured in the United States.

    I was on Reddit yesterday, the apologists there are fucking sickening. I swear Reddit was not like that before, years ago everybody on Reddit was well aware of what Israel was.

      Yeah we all got banned lol.

      I even saw someone with a very old and active account and a mod of a big sub get perma banned by admins because he made a comment against Israel a few years ago.

      Like straight up deleted everything. We only knew because revvedit managed to grab his last comment.

        I’m wondering if Hasbara got decent amount of control of Reddit. They are on reddit, for sure, but I’m wondering how big their operation is. To me some of the comments and upvotes feel unnatural. Not like the reddit I remember at all and its making me think something fucky is going on.

          Get a few in charge as mods of major subs and they can influence the conversations. It’s not too difficult and looks like it happened in worldnews and news subs.

      Worldnews and News subreddit mods mass-banned all pro-Palestine commenters last October. The subs got dangerously unbalanced as a result.

      everybody on Reddit was well aware of what Israel was.

      The most diverse, liberal, progressive nation in the Middle East?

        Hey look, it’s everyone’s favorite genocide denier spreading more bullshit.

        What would happen to me if I said that the invasion of Gaza was a genocide in Tel Aviv? Would I be arrested?

        Huh, What would happen?

        Can I get married if I’m gay?

        Does Israel threaten gay palestinians with being outed if they don’t cooperate as spies?

            The bit where you call an ethnostate actively engaged in a genocide liberal and progressive.

            I’m still waiting on you answering my questions.

            Come on, I answered yours. You didn’t even have to wait long.

            I’ll wait.

    U.S. officials have been pushing Israel to use more of this type of bomb, which they say can reduce civilian casualties.

    This is the unique identifier code assigned by the U.S. government to Woodward, an aerospace manufacturer based in Colorado that supplies parts for bombs including the GBU-39.

        Yeah it’s designed to hit targets with little splash as possible and it does actually work - see that a Houthi SUV that was struck in traffic? That was us using precision munitions like the GBU-39, you’ll notice it didn’t even damage any nearby cars. It admittedly doesn’t work if you deliberately aim it at civilians like these IDF assholes love to do.
