I’ve heard IDF broke it this time. Was it a propaganda piece?

Australia, Canada, France and the United Kingdom are among the nations that have called out the violence, demanding Israel take “immediate and concrete steps” to tackle it.

“We strongly condemn the violent acts committed by extremist settlers, which are terrorising Palestinian communities,” the statement shared by Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said.

Condemn stronger, motherfuckers.

Israelis now feel like they have a free pass to kill as many palestinians as they want, while Hamas leaders freely flying around the muslim world like they aren’t responsible for so many deaths, of jews and of their own. While Netanyahu and his cabinet are pretty comfy accepting measures to kill another thousand of gazans.

Wtf is that? It’s great you condemn their actions, but before you’d act in any way, there would be several thousands of poor palestinians who happened to be born there being unable to salute your decision. Because they are dead, like really dead, cold and burried under buildings IDF bombed.

It’s cool you came to condemn such things, but it won’t help many people who lost their homes, lives. That needs more effort. Like demanding a ceasefire. Before that, it’s just words and political gestures ammounting to nothing.

Thanks, friend. These simple words lit up my day.

I feel right to feel these guilt and pain though. I’m actually pleased to expirience them. Having them means there’s something left to my humanity, something is still there, shining in my rotten corpse. The nerve response that is lacking in my many countrymen. A bell whose ring tells me I’m still human and I still have empathy. That signal isn’t pretty, yet it’s welcome in our trying times.

If I’m allowed to, I’d beg you to spend your sympathy towards me on my ukrainian homies. Years ago I had a gaming group that included persons from all ex-USSR. And I haven’t heard from ukraininan dudes and gals in a while. Guess, they could’ve left our VK network altogether since this war happened, and it’s right for them to do so because it’s shit, but I’m still worried if they are alright, if they got caught in this conflict. If you are a faithful person, please put a candle on my behalf for their safety in your church or mosque of choice. If you aren’t, just like me, well, you can listen to a story of Nestor Makhno, that one based ukrainian anarchist who kept the free state there for a while: https://youtu.be/dqD9VZuGBJw?si=sDs4sDYsMDX0fs4p He’s an image to respect, and to replicate, and a great piece of our history that kremlin bitches want to erase. Just knowing it, you deny them easy win (:

With all arguments I had not ending up with me behind the bars lol, I guess everyone’s tired. Even those psychoes who want to eradicate the whole ukrainian nation are sure that it drags for too long and talking heads are doing it wrong, that’s not how the genocide should be done in their opinion 🤷

If there could’ve been a vote to conservate the current frontline, I guess 95% would be for it. But it’s not how it works, because Russia already claimed 4 regions in it’s constitution and putin can’t walk that back easily (he can, but he won’t, because it would ruin the remains of his strongman image), and Ukraine had an expirience of tolerating such thing with Minsky accords, them leading directly to '22 february attack.

I guess at that point no one actively wants to participate in this war anymore, besides maybe some vets joining PMC at their own terms. Even in pro-state (kek) telegram channels, there’s too many uninspiring news, confusion and gore. There’s also a lot of news of conscription offices being even more agressive in dragging people from universities, workplaces, streets, even gay bars - yes we had plenty in Moscow and S. Petersburg in spite of our homophobic laws. They are desperate to take anyone, to raid any place. Not yet deadly desperate, but it’s sure out of their regular amount of effort.

I don’t believe these people are ready to protest, even peacefully, but at the very least it occured to them they are better off dodging service than dying under Avdiivka. 2 years in, riiiight. Baby steps 👶 Wifes of servicemen just got declined from having a peaceful congregation about missing their men who ended up on limitless service ‘until the end of the war’ lol. Make it brew some more time and maybe it’d lead to something more radical. But yeah, many people know about that, and even if they were ignorant enough to sign in, they would now have doubts about joining that circus.

The final death toll from the attack is now thought to be 695 Israeli civilians, including 36 children, as well as 373 security forces and 71 foreigners, giving a total of 1,139.

So? Does it matter if it was 1400, 1300 or 1139? It’s mass murder anyway, and Hamas are still bastards for killing them. And Netanyahu is still a bastard for using it as a free pass on bombing Gaza. These numbers don’t change anything at all.

Can one imagine a rave party with a thousand+ of people, and then imagine them all dead? Or a european-like district with housing, schools, shops for 13k people - you can see them on Google Maps, they were pretty sweet in spite of israeli politics - all leveled down to the ground. It’s a rave party not unlike one happening near you, this neighborhood is not unlike yours. These people may not speak english, yet they share basic things with you, like, they could’ve liked the same songs, the same movies like you do, some of them could’ve even been trekkies. And now they are lost. They won’t have a child, they won’t share a funny story over drinks with friends, they won’t build that birdhouse their elderly parents asked for. They are dead, non-existent, and all work put into making them proper adults is lost. And whatever it’s a thousand, or a thousand of thosands, it’s too much to ignore. Every person shot or slayed there is too much to ignore. There should be a ceasefire agreement first, it needs to stop.

As a russian guy, I’m still unconclusive what’s the reason behind that. Unlike Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this one seems to happen over nothing. Just one aging man’s sick ambitions that brought suffering to many families. I feel shame whenever I contact my ukrainian friends. For that fucking state used my representation to bring so much useless, senseless morbidity onto neighboring nation. It’s 2023, why would we even want that? With all fucking problems we have as a humankind, why fighting Ukraine for 9+ years is even on the table? It doesn’t make any sense. It’s insanity. And I don’t feel like I can ever compensate for that before I die. The damage we caused is too much for one’s lifetime. It should’ve never happened.

One paragraph.

A local administrator, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, said the attack on law enforcement officers will embolden those performing the cut as they will see the government as weak and unable to protect its own.

They have an anti-FGM board, yet saying something about it puts them in danger, and they pretend they can at the same time defend the (future) victims of that shitty practice. Kenian officials need to rethink their ways because it all sounds very awkward.

Officially a major non-NATO ally of the U.S., Qatar, which opened an office for Hamas in 2012, has come under criticism from Congress for backing the terrorist group. A bipartisan group of 113 U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to President Joe Biden on Oct. 16 asking him to put pressure on countries, including Qatar, that support Hamas.

The recent movement of Hamas leaders may be related to Israel’s promise to wipe out the terrorist group’s leadership wherever it is found. Ronen Bar, head of the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), said on Dec. 3 that Israel will eliminate the leaders of Hamas in Qatar and Turkey.

Following Bar’s comments, a Turkish intelligence official told Reuters that there would be “serious consequences” if Israel attempted to pursue senior Hamas officials “outside the Palestinian territories,” whether in Turkey or elsewhere. The warning was delivered to Israel “following the statements of officials,” according to the source.

So non-NATO Qatar can be put under pressure and in-NATO Turkey can’t? Why’s Erdogan bitchin’, just to show himself as independent self-ruler, does he have any skin in this game? While palestinian people are dying en masse in Gaza, the exact persons who should’ve suffered got to fly a couple of hours before continuing their leasure spree, big sad. With all dirt Israel drags itself through, hunting down top Hamas officials who orchestrated the massacre is the one I can close my eyes to.

“I committed a felony and as a former FBI special agent it causes me extreme emotional and physical pain. I stand before you today with a deep sense of remorse.”

What he did, shat on the carpet? 50 months and this half-assed apology don’t seem like a punishment for a treason for a top official.
