Israel declares state of war after terrorist attacks

All of it?

With Russia operating as a Chinese vassal, that would make all the propaganda stem from Beijing, essentially.

But actual things are happening. Let’s say, bombing Gaza flat to the ground. That’s a fact, right?

Kudos to Piers Morgan for having illegal, racist West Bank settlers on his show.

A ministry statement said the decision was taken by what it called a ā€œRevolutionary Courtā€. Yasser Abu Shabab, who does not recognize the authority of Hamas and accuses the militants of hurting the interests of Gaza, has 10 days to surrender, it said.
The court urged Palestinians to inform Hamas security officials about the whereabouts of Abu Shabab, who has so far remained beyond their reach in the Rafah area of southern Gaza held by Israeli troops. There was no immediate response from his group to the surrender order.
Hamas, which accuses Abu Shabab of looting UN aid trucks and alleges that he is backed by Israel,

lol of course they do.

Hamas orders Gaza clan leader to surrender, accuses him of treason

Hamas is cracking down hard on its dissidents. Whoopodee dooda.

Means genocide is OK.

It does? How do you figure?

What’s old is new again. I can see why the IDF would prefer a centralized authority over multiple clans, but this is interesting. Does nothing for Gaza in the short term; in the long term it’s possible that it gives Palestinians in Gaza hope and the wherewithal to do something similar. A migration to Hebron (or anywhere in the West Bank) would seem unlikely for Gazans.

Link is the archived version of this WSJ opinion piece by Eliot Kaufman.

ā€œThe Emirate of Hebron shall recognize the State of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people,ā€ the sheikhs write, ā€œand the State of Israel shall recognize the Emirate of Hebron as the Representative of the Arab residents in the Hebron District.ā€ Accepting Israel as a Jewish state goes further than the Palestinian Authority ever has, and sweeps aside decades of rejectionism.

The letter seeks a timetable for negotiations to join the Abraham Accords and ā€œa fair and decent arrangement that would replace the Oslo Accords, which only brought damage, death, economic disaster and destruction.ā€ The Oslo Accords, agreed to by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization in the 1990s, ā€œhave brought upon us the corrupt Palestinian Authority, instead of recognizing the traditional, authentic local leadership.ā€ That would be the clans, the great families that still shape Palestinian society.

This is a good experiment. I’ve written about this upthread (but before such a thing is announced).

If this leads to less settler violence and more economic opportunity, other clans will follow.

Hmm, I heard that was bullshit.

I also believe everything I hear, even if the most credible human rights organizations say otherwise, because it suits my narrative.

That seems obvious. You’ve wanted Israel to be in the wrong since 10/7, it seems.

Your sarcasm meter needs maintenance.

If you have to point it out how effective do you think your sarcasm is? Lol

Well, good luck with Middle East peace. You’re posting is really gods work!

to the left tail of the IQ distribution, sometimes.

See, I never said I believed the article I posted. I said I’d heard it was bullshit. You jump to the conclusion that I MUST believe it because you think I have a bias that needs to be confirmed.

Did you read it? I doubt you did, or you wouldn’t have to resort to the same old same old ad hominins.

In the article is this report. Maybe give it a look, in the spirit of open mindedness.

This report does not seek to deny the existence of violence in certain parts
of the State of Israel or within the Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria
However, a meaningful discussion is impossible when one cannot separate the
wheat from the chaff A handful of genuine cases—like any legal violation—
require treatment, but they are indistinguishably lumped together with
thousands of other cases that have nothing at all to do with violence The very
act of conflating them proves that what is truly on the table is a delegitimization
campaign filled with both overt and covert agendas

I wouldn’t get my hopes up at present.

Not sure that’s on the menu at the State dinner.
