To be clear: no one should bomb a hospital, for any reason, ever. But for Israel to label Iran “terrorist tyrants” after missiles hit a hospital in southern Israel is shameless hypocrisy from the demented regime Israel has attacked 600 hospitals since Oct 7 www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

you would like to think those who used to decry USAID as a perfidious weapon of American imperialism would at least have the basic decency to shut up about it now that it's been dismantled by fascists, an action which has objectively led to the deaths of many thousands, but sadly this isn't the case

yes yes YES YES The knowledge we uncovered would never have been found by an LLM, nor would the connections have been made, nor would the handwriting have been analyzed, nor would the friends have been interviewed LLM research is fake research

In 2025 the State of Israel occupies all of Palestine, large tracts of southwest Syria, and much of south Lebanon. It also regularly bombs Yemen, including its civilian infrastructure such as its ports. It now is engaged in a war of attrition with Iran. It also routinely threatens Jordan and Egypt.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

It’s wild to hear some political commentators say there’s no equivalence between Iran and Israel because Netanyahu is democratically elected and the Ayatollah is not. Is it acceptable to carry out a genocide and attack other countries in violation of international law if you’ve won an election now?

Canadian political leaders loving being next to Zelensky and giving condolences to Ukrainians after Russian attacks — and fair enough, no issue with that — but you rarely see them with Palestinian leaders or showing the same consistent empathy for Palestinians being slaughtered.

And guess which groups are often left out of the secondary sources, or if we're included that info is often couched in bias.

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.

Alleging Israel has committed ‘war crimes’ suggests a recognizable event: that there is a war happening, and there are some crimes in it. Gaza is different. For our latest cover story, Suzy Hansen examines how the war in Gaza has upended decades of humanitarian law: nymag.com/intelligence...

"Palestinian citizens of Israel are at fault for having fewer bomb shelters in areas where they live than in Israeli Jewish communities, because they choose where to build, and it has nothing to do with the federal government of Israel" is a new one, I have to say.

A (pro-Israel) guy showed up in my mentions apparently completely unaware that there are Palestinian citizens of Israel. This is why the term "Israeli Arab" is at very best an obfuscatory one, it seems like a great many Westerners do not know what the majority of 48ers Arabs are— Palestinian.

In Jewish towns, every house and neighbourhood comes with public and private shelters that can be accessed at any time and within a few minutes, in Arab towns, no such shelters exist, here's a map comparing the number of public shelters: [cross-post of my 48er friend z_00pIz from Twitter]

Thinking a lot about how in Asia this is the exact script employed by our states when there is dissent. Everyone is a "foreign influenced actor", everyone's "importing western influences" etc.

You don't have to "support iran" to understand it's illegal, immoral, and absolutely fucking insane to bomb apartment buildings full of Iranians! It's clear to anyone with a brain that isn't so smooth it can be skipped across a lake who the aggressive, criminal party here is.

Stop the Israeli assault on Iran! “The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. The difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.” -Marjane Satrapi

Important further info: the email was sent only to ICE HSI, the arm of ICE more traditionally involved in worksite raids. It applies to any agricultural facility, restaurants, and hotels, and bars arresting workers, really. Other businesses, including factories, are presumably still fair game.

A main excuse for empire: some groups of people must be governed by outsiders for their own good; without outside help, they cannot act justly or wisely. If this justification works, it justifies imperial government of settler minorities.

‪I’ve already seen too damn many asinine hot takes on the Iran-Iraq war, so here’s a starter guide to the 1980-1988 conflict: ‬ ‪Iraq attacked Iran, not the reverse. ‬ ‪Iraq was the aggressor. ‬ ‪Israel supported Iran. ‬ ‪The US supported Iraq. ‬
