'The most moral army of the world'

Last week, after collecting evidence, Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem reported about two murders of unarmed Palestinian civilians on the Westbank by the IDF earlier this year.

From btselem.org/firearms, regarding the Open-Fire policy (see also the first screenshot):
❝
Open-Fire Policy - 11 November 2017
Over the years, Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.
[...]
According to the open-fire regulations, live ammunition may be fired in two situations only. First, shooting to kill is permitted when members of the security forces or other individuals are in life-threatening danger. Even then, the use of firearms is permitted only if there is no other way to avert the danger and only against the assailants themselves. Second, members of the security forces may only shoot at a person’s legs, as the last phase in an attempt to arrest the person in question, only after they have given warning and fired in the air, and only when no one else is in danger of getting hurt.
[...]
Sometimes the regulations are interpreted broadly, such as the artificial expansion of the term “life-threatening” to include circumstances in which soldiers’ lives are not actually in danger, such as stone-throwing or tire-burning during protests, or fear of damage to the Separation Barrier. Another broad interpretation is permission to fire at the upper body instead of the legs during suspect apprehension, along with expanding the understanding of a person suspected of a serious offense to include virtually any Palestinian. Another violation is the use of lethal measures when less injurious ones could diffuse the threat, and illegal use of allegedly “non-lethal” measures such as rubber-coated metal bullets, sponge rounds and tear gas in a way that renders them lethal.

In using firearms in the Occupied Territories, Israel’s actions are also subject to the provisions of international humanitarian law (IHL).
[...]
The principle of distinction requires the parties to the conflict to direct their attacks only against persons taking part in the hostilities and against objects that are used for military purposes. To ensure that this distinction is respected, it is forbidden to mount an attack against an object that is not a specific military target, and to use weapons that do not allow sufficiently precise distinction between military and civilian objects. The principle of proportionality prohibits an attack even where the intended target is a legitimate object of attack, if the damage to the civilian population will be greater than the military advantage anticipated from the attack.

Israel claims to follow these rules. However, its open-fire policy during fighting, and particularly in massive incursions into Palestinian cities and rounds of fighting in the Gaza Strip, ignores these rules almost entirely.
[...]
For years, B'Tselem regularly wrote to the military law enforcement system in order to promote accountability for cases in which security forces harmed Palestinians. But, given the reality described here, in May 2016, we decided to stop contacting the MAG Corps to demand investigations.
[...]
This policy conveys Israel’s deep disregard for the lives of Palestinians and their property, and facilitates continued use of lethal force – a crucial element in Israel’s ability to maintain violent control over millions of Palestinians.

There is an SF short story by Eric Frank Russell with the title “Into Your Tent I’ll Creep.” It’s relevant to this post. Extraterrestrial aliens come to Earth and find that they can communicate telepathically with the most intelligent species on Earth – and that species is not humans.

The title is from a song by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler, with music by Ted Snyder. It’s a jazz standard.

I’m the Sheik of Araby,
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you’re asleep,
Into your tent I’ll creep.

I think there are two things necessary for positive change:

1) A collapse of faith in the bourgeois social order;
2) The growth of a network of directly democratic institutions that involve large numbers of people.

The second is, materially, more work. But people try all the time. Their work is co-opted, and that's where the lack of the first is most painfully felt.

Well, with 1,291 "Adverse Events of Special Interest", of which Dying of "Suddenly", is just one...It makes Logical Sense that there is an increase in, Everything, since "they" tried to "vaccinate" EVERYONE in the World at the same time, without any control group...with an Unconstitutional, UNNECESSARY, ExperiMENTAL, Emergency Use, mRNA Gene Therapy Technology Jab (aka "Vaccine") that had not been tested on humans.

Remember, they tried to hide the information from us, for the next 70 years, so basically, after we've all died.

Nobody had informed consent, not even the people giving the "shots in arms", because the inserts were blank.

AFTER the "Vaccines", they made Heart Attack Medicine for kids, when it never existed before, because kids were now dying from "Suddenly". KIDS!

For a sickness that always had a 99.96% RECOVERY Rate WITHOUT a "Vaccine".

Covid could be killed with soap and water, hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, bleach, Lysol, Listerine, Vit A, E D, C, Zinc, UV Light. How deadly could it it possibly be?

People died unnecessarily, and many died alone. People who took the Fauci Sauce have weakened Immune Systems, of course they have cancers. Remember Guillain–Barré syndrome, and Bells Palsy...What about Heart Attacks. Myocarditis, Pericarditis. These things USED to be considered RARE, BEFORE the "Vaccine"...

We must hold them all accountable. There MUST Be Consequences.

Nuremberg 2.0 -- NO AMNESTY

"For the first time, a population-wide cohort of nearly 300,000 people tracked over 30 months has revealed that the so-called “safe and effective” COVID-19 shots are linked to alarming spikes in multiple forms of cancer.

Researchers followed every resident aged 11 and older in Italy’s Pescara province from June 2021 through December 2023, examining hospital records and adjusting for age, sex, prior health conditions, and even prior COVID infection.

The researchers allegedly found that those who received at least one vaccine dose had a much lower risk of dying from any cause compared to the unvaccinated, and this protective effect was even stronger in people who had three or more doses.

When looking at cancer, the picture was less clear. People who had been vaccinated appeared somewhat more likely to be hospitalized with a new cancer diagnosis than those who were unvaccinated, particularly for cancers of the breast, bladder, and colon.

However, this increased risk was only evident in people who had never been infected with COVID-19, and it disappeared—or even reversed—when the analysis required at least twelve months to pass between vaccination and a hospital admission for cancer.

Hospitalizations for cancer were 35% higher in vaccinated individuals versus the unvaccinated (HR 1.23).
The link was strongest in men and in those with no prior COVID infection.
Overall Cancer Risk: +23% after just one dose
Breast Cancer: +54% risk after vaccination
Bladder Cancer: +62% increased risk
Colorectal Cancer: +35% increased risk
Even after multiple doses, the risks remained elevated across the board.

The authors noted that vaccinated individuals are usually healthier, wealthier, and more likely to get preventative care, a phenomenon called the “healthy vaccinee bias.”

If anything, the numbers should have shown lower cancer rates. Instead, cancers surged. That means the real danger could be far worse than what the data shows.

Doctors and whistleblowers have been warning for years about sudden, aggressive cancers appearing in otherwise healthy people after the jab.

This study, alongside more than 100 other peer-reviewed papers, confirms the link between mRNA injections and deadly cancer pathways. A new medical term has even been coined: COVID-19 Vaccine-Induced “Turbo Cancer.”"

A good friend, Glenn, who was a radiation oncologist, had to get 2 Moderna jabs in order to keep practicing medicine at the cancer clinic & hospital he worked at. Glenn was diagnosed with turbo cancer on 12/28/24; died 5/4/25. He told me "unequivocally, the Moderna jabs caused his turbo cancer that would cause his death!

He was a pharmacist before becoming a radiation oncologist. I miss him terribly!!

sorry, but I am just a citizen with limited tools. The whole day I try to "cover" what is going on to the other side of the world. Trying to verify multiple sources. Trying to add photo description. Try to bring on the front sources that are not common.
On the other side, in Palestine, there is an ongoing genocide. Journalists killed in mass. Zionist entity has blocked international journos to cover these crimes. A lot of times the remained Palestinian journos are without internet connection.
I wrote about a small Nagasaki and the thing you have to say is about the tracking link? Go with your privileges and look away - there is no tracking there.

Trumpism's core is not actually any political ideology per se, but instead what may be most briefly summarized as "Sycophantism".

The person who was the most sycophantic the most recently towards Trump gets what they request for a while,
which is then given political ideological direction through that to be able to reach the ability to express said sycophancy to and/or publicly about Trump where Trump will see it so it matters one must first pass through the far-right authoritarian courtiers, which of course acts as a sieve preventing people with other opinions from reaching that point if they try,
so the outcome will be far-right authoritarian but will also be extremely arbitrary in cases of people in Trump's court having opposing preferences, but the one with the most firm affinity established through previous boundless irrational praise and obedience will have the most access to influence who gets to demonstrate their pathological sycophancy to the newly established Supreme Leader of the Dictatorship of USA.

OK, I'm convinced, the bubble is close to popping.

It might not actually do so, there could be just enough taking the foot off the AI pedal to keep the hype cycle going a while longer. What I'm convinced of is that the bubble is currently critical — and that that has execs scared shitless.

Note that the above is not a prediction! It's me being convinced of what I now believe is currently true, not any statement about what I expect will happen as a result of that being true.

My actual prediction is that **if** the bubble is truly at critical, we are in for some fun times, as different execs, investors, and companies each try to save themselves with wildly different and contradictory approaches. That whatever happens next will be unhinged.

The tools of boycott and public protest are inherited from the period of direct colonial rule. We need to adapt these tools to target where the centers of power lie today in our region: Arab capital.

Anti-fascist researchers in so-called Australia

1. Do not assist their media strategy.
Neo-Nazis have a simple strategy when it comes to media:
If they can't get an opportunity to appear in the media, they create one.
They perform public stunts to create opportunities. They confect outrage (singing “Waltzing Matilda” in Adelaide on Australia Day, pretending to be “regular blokes” getting kicked out of the Shrine of Remembrance etc).
They revel in and celebrate the attention they receive whether it is positive or negative. They do this because reporting on their actions almost always leads to more support for them. That's why you're here and that's why this guide exists.
The attention is all they are after.
That doesn't mean “Don't report on them.” It means “Don't do their dirty work for them.” The rest of this guide will show you how to best do that.

"Neo-nazis and politicians among protesters at anti-immigration March for Australia rallies
[...]
The marches were promoted by neo-Nazis, as well as anti-lockdown figures who gained prominence during the pandemic [...].

A counter-protest also assembled in front of the State Library of Victoria, with the weekly pro-Palestine rally merging with an antifascist counter-demonstration to protest against the March for Australia.

Victoria police blocked off Flinders and Swanston streets to the north of the intersection, in an apparent attempt to keep two rallies apart, but they eventually met at the corner of Collins and Elizabeth streets with a barrier of police between them, three rows deep, including officers on horseback.

A volatile verbal confrontation ensued, with a bottle thrown from the anti-immigration protest smashing at the feet of the antifascist demonstrators, and an open can of beer flying over the police line towards the anti-immigration march.

The antifascist demonstrators were then pushed back by police in riot gear, who pepper-sprayed approximately a dozen protesters at the front of the crowd."

Well, that was something.

Several thousand flagwits in MEL today, & budding fuehrer Thomas Sewell fulfilled his dream of addressing the masses outside the VIC parliament.

As an added Bonus!, later in the day a group of flagwits & nazis attacked Camp Sovereignty in the Kings Domain, with a number of people reportedly injured and the camp wrecked.

'Camp Sovereignty was first established on 12 March 2006 to bring international attention to the unresolved issues of the "Black GST" - genocide to end, sovereignty to be acknowledged and treaty to be negotiat[ed], whilst protesting against the Commonwealth Games, referred to as the "Stolenwealth Games". A camp was established and a ceremonial fire was lit at the so-called 'Kings Domain' Resting Place. The site is a burial site for bones from the 38 original nations of so called 'Victoria' that were repatriated from the Melbourne Museum.

Bunjileenee Robbie Thorpe reestablished the camp on Invasion Day Friday 26 January 2024. The camp is working toward a name change, the site to be handed back to the original custodians and a cultural interpretation centre to be established. It's a place for gathering, healing, community organising and having rich conversations.'
