geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Two Israeli embassy staffers shot dead in Washington4·5 hours agoFirst amendment has been canceled for over 2 months. I’m sure this will be a new fan favorite excuse for repression. But looking at it realistically, besides a new excuse the actions will be the exact same.

They say that the official BDS stance is that antisemitism is okay because a single activist explained that Palestinians do not understand the difference between Judaism and Zionism because the people bombing them keep saying they are Jews.
Then their source went on to call the Israelis “Jews” as is tradition.

These days Israel is publicly bombing Hamas government officials for the crime of being in their finance ministry and nobody bats an eye. They are bombing journalists inside of hospitals for doing journalism and it is a-ok.
This is what my username is a reference to.

But the definition changes based on who you ask. What is more relevant is whether they are part of a beligirent force akin to ISIS but worse.

An administrator at the detention facility agreed that the couple could visit, but specified that it would be “non-contact,” meaning that the two would not be allowed to touch and could speak only through a clear divider. Mr. Khalil’s lawyers then asked for an exception so that their client could hold his newborn son. The facility again said no.

Anyways, the second amendment exists to combat tyranny.
geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Two Israeli embassy staffers shot dead in Washington21·11 hours agoWell he was but a simple innocent civilian enthousiastically participating in the genocide of all Palestinians. Killing such an innocent person is inexcusable.

geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Wiz Acquisition Puts Israeli Intelligence In Charge of Your Google Data103·18 hours agoIn 2022, Robert Scheer reported that Google AdSense informed publishers, including MintPress News, that, “Due to the war in Ukraine, we will pause monetization of content that exploits, dismisses, or condones the war.” According to Scheer, these restrictions included “any pieces that question the NATO narrative on Ukraine into the content it describes”.
They questioned with the NATO narrative? How dare they! Next thing you know they are providing well-sourced information and debunking poorly sourced claims.
I am glad that your Wikipedia page quoting USAID funded media outlets is saying that Mintpress is a scam. This completely impartial news helped me wake up to my brainwashing of not blindly believing US state media.
Next time I read a MintPress article I will be sure to not check their sources to make up my own mind. But instead brand them unreliable because they question the NATO narrative. Thank you Lemmy.World user! I love the IDF and unit8200 they are awesome!
