It’s fucking wild that people are just paid to shit post and troll in the defense of murder. I really dislike all of this. This whole time and place we’re living in. If it’s not the Correct the Record then it’s the Russians. If it’s not the Russians then it’s the Hasbara. If it’s not them, then maybe China, or a bot or an AI. The world’s going nuts from social media and the rich trying to set everyone’s brain on fire, and then there’s this shit. How much more synthetic does the world need to be? How can these forces not understand they are engaging in evil shit, just for the sake of it!

“The diplomatic mechanism relies on the hasbara mechanism,” he said. “Success in the war is reliant on this component. There’s no alternative to the civilian abilities here and on social media. It’s one of the most critical fronts right now.”

Gitam Media Group CEO Ido Har-Tov told the meeting that his company had set up a 200-person situation room that was focused on creating hasbara content.
“We’ve begun to create between 40 and 50 videos a day,” he said. “We have tens of millions of views. We can be the country’s most significant tool in hasbara.”

“Our goal is to explain to people how they can do [hasbara] themselves and explain how they help us become viral,” she said. “The country, with all its complexity, doesn’t have the tools to manage this fight. It needs to be done on the civilian level.”

Buckle up baby, it’s everyone’s turn to drink from the fire hose.

“Good” article, thanks for posting.

From the article:

In a memo released Thursday, Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez said her team feels “well-prepared to defeat whoever emerges from the extreme MAGA Republicans’ primary field,” but “this will be a very close general election.”
Biden won 64 percent of the Muslim vote in 2020, and Trump won 35 percent, according to exit polling by The Associated Press.

New polling this week showed Biden’s support among Arab American voters plummeting to just 17 percent, down 42 percentage points compared to 2020. The Arab American Institute, which conducted the poll, said it marks the first time in 26 years of polling Arab Americans that the majority did not claim to prefer the Democratic Party.

Between this recurring news and the fact that it’s being taken seriously it feels like team Biden is going to have to go further than an Islamophobia policy implementation. These numbers can likely lose him Michigan as it stands, and ignoring the Midwest has never worked out to a candidates (and all of our) detriment in the recent past. We need concise action to support these communities if we want to keep Michigan blue.

I really hope this is no way a reprisal for this Irish man talking openly about the loss of his family and his two children (1 and 4) who are still trapped in Gaza

How many kids did “those” genocidal lunatics kill?

The pizza as medicine makes it too real.

I recognize those dead, glazed over eyes! They look like mine. Oh…

Bombing a convoy of ambulances is terrorism you root. Israel, the red cross and multiple news agencies were notified well in advance of this convoy leaving the hospital to transport these people to Egypt. They even provided Israel with the exact route it was going to be taking. Out here talking about koolaid when your whole face is stained red.

You think Israel has been planning this genocide for that long? Interesting take that I’d yet to hear.

Hamas doesn’t care if those civilians and journalists die anymore than probably Israel does. It goes to show how stupid this is because everyday Israel becomes more the murderer, more the oppressor, more the aggressor, more the monster. I’m sure Hamas leadership love it because they literally have to do nothing as proud Israel marches into the history books as the land hungry maniac butcher of the middle east. This is how a 9/11 works and you buffoons are out here trying to roast Hamas marshmallows on the smoldering corpses of women and children.

Your right, Israel should cease it’s indiscriminate violence now and call for an immediate stabilization of the civilian population on the ground. That was a big leap for you man. Proud of you Dobby!

NO, DON’T DO THAT! @dumdum666 can you please explain things to this confused individual, my little war trumpet <3

Clearly this is the work of Hamas

As Israel continues their barbaric campaign of death they will lose all their allies on the left. The majority of the upcoming American generations (all progressively more left leaning) won’t support our key middle east partner any longer. Israel will be forced into the circles of auth right allies, further solidifying the fascistic ethnostate within. This really is Israels 9/11.

So sad that all the people in these threads claiming to want to defeat Hamas can’t understand that every second this continues their victory grows greater. There’s always time to stop this madness. There’s always time to step back from the abyss and help save Israel, but it needs to be your voices that help do it.

He says, unironically, on an article about 3000 dead children. Gross.
How many children do you think the critics will accept as enough? Or does that number not matter because they aren’t Israeli children?

You’ve lost the support of the international community and even the US is distancing itself from the approach you are taking. This is a fools errand to try to extract a part of a society by direct force (see Vietnam, Afghanistan <-two different super powers made that mistake). What this will be is an excuse to murder as judge, jury and executioner as you move to further subjugate a civilian population behind closed doors. Literal closed walls in Gaza’s case. These kids have grown up knowing nothing but what the adults tell them and looking at the walls that keep them in.

“You name it, I’m sure Israel would be on board with that” How about just releasing the Prisoners for the hostages and going home?

“We spoke bluntly and made it clear to the prime minister in no uncertain terms that a comprehensive deal based on the ‘everyone for everyone’ principle is a deal the families would consider, and has the support of all of Israel,” Meirav Leshem Gonen, mother of Romi Gonen, who was kidnapped from the Supernova dance festival, said on behalf of the families in a news conference following the meeting.

Netanyahu was asked about such a deal at his Saturday news conference, and acknowledged he discussed the option with the families.
“I think that elaborating on this will not help achieve our goal. In the meeting with the families, I felt emotionally helpless,” he said.

So maybe not everything. Please don’t judge Dan for not responding, He blocked me an hour ago as he didn’t like my response to the justification of the 3,000 children that have been bombed to death in Gaza.

edit: deleted two words I accidentally repeated

If Hamas stopped hording all the food and supplies then the bombs and settlers couldn’t have killed these defenseless children. /s

Unironically, fuck Hamas, but this wholesale murder of children deserves the title of terrorist state to be shared by Israel. If you support Israel you support the continued murder of children. FULL STOP.

A system that fully accepts environmental realities and works against the wholesale ecocide of the planet as it’s first tenet. The rest is kinda whatever at this point. It could be a resource based economy or some sort of mixed planned/free market. Just gotta make sure that invisible hand doesn’t strangle us all in our sleep, ya know?

This seems more like an example of wrong place wrong time because nowhere in the article does it state that they were specifically targeted. What it does say is that they lived right next to the fence and that they and their neighbors both had safe rooms. To me, when you (and your neighbors) feel the need to build a fortified room to protect yourselves during a potential attack that says this area is potentially very dangerous.

Also, stop conflating the Palestinian people with Hamas. Not all Russians are committing war crimes in Ukraine. Not all Americans stormed the US capital on J6. Not all Saudis were on planes on 9/11. We do not need to further dehumanize ANY of the people who are now suffering through this now and the MANY who are continuing to have suffering brought upon them.

Nobody can excuse attacks on civilian populations for revenge. This goes both ways. And whether or not this poor sweet lady and her husband are still alive, I’m sure she would be equally abhorred that her life’s work is being used as an excuse to undo the very thing she worked towards.

Edit: I’ve been informed all homes in Israel must have safe rooms by law.

I wondered, are these activists tankies or just dead set against support of war in any form. Tankies it is then:

Michael Rubin, writing for the Washington Examiner, has stated that Code Pink has amplified Chinese government propaganda denying the Uyghur genocide.[62] In June 2023, Code Pink activists visited the offices of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party where, according to an aide of House member Seth Moulton, they denied accusations of forced labor in Xinjiang and suggested Moulton visit Xinjiang.

By no means is war the answer, but helping Ukraine to defend its people and sovereignty at this moment in time is the right thing to do.
