Because that wouldn’t hurt vulnerable minorities in particular. It’s the old fascist technique of feeding people scapegoats on whom they can blame their troubles and take out their anger and frustration, so that they never ask whether the government might be responsible for their problems. It works best if you victimize a minority group that most people are unfamiliar with, and make it dangerous for people of that group to show their faces in public. Then the masses will never learn that they are not to be feared and hated.

Unfortunately the British people are staggeringly easy to convince that the government of the last 14 years has nothing to do with their declining quality of life over the last 14 years. It makes this scapegoating propaganda all too easy.

It’s happening in so many places, at the same time as actual fascism is on the rise globally. Those “first they came for…” vibes are not an exaggeration.

Conservatives don’t care. For everyone’s sake they need to go. It’s so saddening to see the UK government copying the ideas of right-wing extremists in the USA.

Even AP makes the “evidence” sound weak:

It did not prove definitively that Hamas militants operated in the tunnels underneath the UNRWA facility, but it did show that at least a portion of the tunnel ran underneath the facility’s courtyard. The military claimed that the headquarters supplied the tunnels with electricity. …

Lazzarini said the agency has not revisited the headquarters since staff evacuated Oct. 12, and is unaware of how the facility may have been used.

This kind of thing doesn’t really justify shutting down an aid agency, let alone killing 30,000 civilians.

In fact, it’s odd that Israel’s army and politicians don’t see that when they come out with evidence this weak, it actually undermines their case for violence. Before, we might wonder whether they know something we don’t that supports their bombardment of Gaza. After seeing this “evidence”, the best they could muster, we know they have no justification for it.

You know Tucker will whine about it endlessly if he can’t get an interview. And also if he can.

Russian asshat.

ARM chips are also RISC, but not the open-souce variety. RISC-V is a particular RISC architecture that is open-source.

And don’t forget that for everyone who dies there are more than two others injured, and many of these injuries will be life-changing. Plus the psychological trauma.

Can you link a source for those estimates?

More than 26,000 lethal “mistakes” so far (plus 60,000 non-lethal), and counting…

But hey, everyone makes mistakes right?

The only people who can prevent the storing of captures of their sites on the Wayback Machine are site owners themselves. Explain to me why they would want exclude this particular capture?

That doesn’t seem to be evidence either way really. They might exclude it because they’re covering something up that they said, or because it was not written by them and misrepresents their movement.

Often they’re not speaking in good faith.

The appropriate thing to compare it to is the concept of genocide. Anything else is a distraction.

So here’s a widely used definition:

Not everyone accepts this definition, but those who disgree tend to argue that it’s not inclusive enough, not that it’s too broad:

“Please be nicer. Thanks.”

That’ll show 'em.

It’s already there in the summary of the article. They’re calling it religious discrimination.

If you read the article, some of them weren’t in the jail. The first man mentioned was killed by a police car, after which the cops pretended for months not to know where he was. When his family finally tracked him down to an unmarked grave, the cops demanded $250 for the return of his body.

Quoting his own words? How very antisemitic of you.

King Vajiralongkorn sounds like a proper cunt.

Or maybe the relevant region is bigger, if Iran’s involved in both the battles to its west and its east?

Killing more children will surely teach them how wrong it is to kill children.
