I'm no fan of destroying artwork, let alone old artwork no matter who originally commissioned it or what ghoul's on the canvas. Even confederate statues that were nothing more than propaganda pieces I advocated for removing and putting them in some "hall of shame" exhibition. Nazis historically destroyed art they deemed "degenerate". now, fun fact, Balfour was a known antisemite; tho sadly this was a widely held sentiment. Zionism has a long history of cooperation with antisemites to push their goals latest of which is Trump, Hagee, and Elon who promptly was received w/open arms after he banned pro-Palestinian language. https://forward.com/opinion/386480/...alfour-was-a-white-supremacist-and-an-anti-s/ State-sponsored anti-Semitism would prove most helpful to Zionism. Indeed, Zionist leaders consciously recognised that state anti-Semitism was essential to their colonial project. Herzl did not mince words about this. He would declare in his foundational pamphlet that “the Governments of all countries scourged by Anti-Semitism will be keenly interested in assisting us to obtain [the] sovereignty we want”; and indeed that not “only poor Jews” would contribute to an immigration fund for European Jews, “but also Christians who wanted to get rid of them”. Herzl would conclude in his Diaries that “the anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies”. These were not slips or errors but indeed a long-term strategy that Zionism and Israel continue to deploy to this very day. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2012/12/24/zionism-anti-semitism-and-colonialism In 1933, Labour Zionism signed the Transfer “Ha’avara” Agreement with the Nazis, breaking the international boycott against the regime: Nazi Germany would compensate German Jews who emigrate to Palestine for their lost property by exporting German goods to the Zionists in the country thus breaking the boycott. Between 1933 and 1939, 60 percent of all capital invested in Jewish Palestine came from German Jewish money through the Transfer Agreement. Thus, Nazism was a boon to Zionism throughout the 1930s. In 1935, the German Zionist branch was the only political force that supported the Nazi Nuremberg Laws in the country, and was the only party still allowed to publish its own newspaper the Rundschau until after Kristallnacht in 1938. Nazi officials would visit Palestine as guests of the Zionists in 1934 and in 1937. In the latter year, it was none other than Adolf Eichmann and Herbert Hagen who arrived in the country. The two were taken by the Zionist envoy Feivel Polkes to Mount Carmel to visit a Jewish colonial-settlement. Eichmann’s second arrival in the country in the early 60s to be tried and executed was indeed his second visit, something Israeli propaganda always forgets to mention. Yet Zionism would always claim that its collaboration with anti-Semitism was strategic, namely to save Jews. This however does not square with the facts that during Nazi rule, Jews from Britain and the United States were given priority by the Zionists over German Jews for immigration to Palestine. Indeed, two-thirds of German Jewish applicants to immigrate to Palestine were turned down by the Zionists, whose criteria for the ideal immigrant was a Jew’s commitment to Zionism, youth, good health, training, wealth, needed skills and knowledge of Hebrew.
Imagine thinking the US Defense Secretary is an idiot because you're brainwashed by a foreign power's propaganda?
to be fair, Israel was bombing heritage sites and irreplaceable objects when you were calling it "precision, totally not carpet bombing"
The dozen UNRWA employees named as terrorists in the report from Israel were identified because they proudly appear in HAMAS VIDEOS on October 7th inside Israel taking part in the attack. This is coupled with the reality that their cell phone signals were geo-located to be inside Israel on that date. Any report casting doubt on the reality that numerous UNRWA employees are active members of the Hamas terrorist group can easily be discounted with the evidence. The reality is that there are probably at least another 150 UNRWA employees directly involved in the October 7th attack who have not been named yet. Experts provide the reality about the absurd claims that confessions were coerced and were false statements. The videos posted to the internet by Hamas itself show the reality. Experts slam leaked UNRWA report claiming Israel coerced workers into making false statements: 'Ridiculous' Israel says dozens of UNRWA employees directly involved in atrocities carried out against its civilians on Oct 7 https://www.foxnews.com/world/exper...ed-workers-making-false-statements-ridiculous
Citation fucking needed Any idiot that uses fox as a source after having been found of outright lying and fined in court is, well, an idiot.
Well, we will see how the sea route aid works out. Clearly something must be done to increase the amount of food aid arriving in Gaza. Gallant says sea corridor plan for Gaza aid will help bring Hamas down Defense minister touts internationally backed route as key to making sure aid gets to civilians and not terror group as Spanish ship in Cyprus loaded with food readies pilot voyage https://www.timesofisrael.com/galla...plan-for-gaza-aid-will-help-bring-hamas-down/
it's dumb given aid is parked outside, it's 2 months out until that pier is finished (abc or nbc, can't recall). Gazans on the brink don't have 2 months.
