  • Iran launches missiles at Israel, IDF says

    Jump

  • You and I will agree that Israel is escalating this near century old conflict and the US needs to stop sending weapons to them, but nothing good will come from more bombs being dropped in the region.

  • It’s a fucking meme

    So then it means nothing? I’m supposed to take away nothing from this very-clearly-designed-as-an-infographic meme? Alright.

  • It’s indiscriminate bombing in response to indiscriminate bombing. No one benefits from this.

  • “Hell Is Breaking Loose in Lebanon”: Israel Rejects Ceasefire Proposal

    Jump

  • I haven’t seen those videos and I’d like to see them to be informed. Pls link.

    I just know that even the US struggles with targeted ballistics not hitting civilians and I think any focus on that argument weakens her response. Israel’s mandatory conscription makes those standalone sentences mean even less.

  • “Hell Is Breaking Loose in Lebanon”: Israel Rejects Ceasefire Proposal

    Jump

  • The call to action of boycotting Israel at the end is the valuable part of this quote.

    I wouldn’t die on the hill of “Hezbollah is not targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure” for the fact that they do not have the rocketry capabilities for targeted strikes. Isreal clearly doesn’t either.

  • Caroline Ellison, who helped convict Sam Bankman-Fried, sentenced to two years for FTX crypto fraud

    Jump

  • Coincidentally I just finished the Behind the Bastards update episode on the Bankman-Fried case from back in 2023. Apparently her diary was leaked by Sam to the press in an attempt to discredit her testimony which backfired on him lmao.

    Good to see her also receive consequences.

  • Death toll from Israeli strikes rises to nearly 400, Lebanon says

    Jump

  • Power projection and spite.

    Iran cares to fuck with the US, Isreal, and other western powers, likely a ripple effect of this, and Isreal has demonstrated Iran cannot control its own airspace.

    Palestinians have been seeking outside support since the 1948 UN resolution to create the 2 nations / the nakba, even going so far as getting support from the right wing Israeli government .

    It’s a business deal not a moral one.

    Israel’s actions have also put them, and the US, in a (demonstrably) bad light on the world stage, so any support to Palestinians is a PR win for Iran and everyone who’s competing with the US for influence so Russia and China love it too.

  • Hezbollah hits back with more than 100 rockets across a wider and deeper area of Israel

    Jump

  • Let’s get an arena with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Likud party members all together to fight it out to the death so the rest of us can find some real solutions. Anyone who disagrees with peace gets put into the fighting pit.

  • Mexico will amend its constitution this weekend to require all judges to be elected

    Jump

  • IIRC before these changes take affect, Mexico’s President appoints (at least supreme) court judges who have tenure for 15 years. The ruling party is arguing for these changes to combat corruption. Rumor is that the Mexican legal system is corrupt af, and I haven’t seen any alternatives proposed by the opposition in (English) coverage of the protests, but we’ll see how electing judges goes I guess.

  • At least 17 Guard members have died while deployed to Texas border

    Jump

  • The incidents on the border mission that led to troops dying have varied. Some of the soldier deaths reported include one who died from a medical emergency at a hotel where troops were staying in McAllen, and another who was accidentally shot in Fort Clark Springs. Two other soldiers died in a traffic accident in Laredo — one in the accident and the other by suicide in the minutes after the crash. At least four additional soldiers have died by suicide while assigned to the border.

    • the Sergeant who drowned trying to save people in the Rio Grande

    This article is a ride and it makes this national guard deployment look even worse.

  • Palestinians WON’T VOTE for Kamala’s Crocodile Tears, “Can’t Get Worse Than Genocide” [17:16 | AUG 11 2024 | Status Coup News]

    Jump

  • What’s the goal here? Is it to discourage people from voting Kamala? Are any of the alternatives, that could reach power due to the first past the post system of voting, really better?

    Kamala and the democrats are able to be shamed into action (or inaction) than Trump and any Republican. People like Jordan and Abdelhalim need to reflect on what systematic changes will actually help Palestinians. You can argue that speculating on not voting for her will influence policy, but you risk severely worsening the situation by helping the unashamed trash win power

  • Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of rape is booed again, louder, in second match of Olympics

  • Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of rape is booed again, louder, in second match of Olympics

  • The point is he was punished and likely contributed to him not being barred from Olympic participation. Ignore the double jeopardy statement then, engage with the actual discussion about the non rapist.

  • I don’t think that guy’s really complaining about the booing, I think he’s trying to separate the rapist from the other competitors.

    I don’t know the case, and I’m very surprised the Netherlands let this guy compete for them, but he is and apparently served prison time (not as much as he probably should’ve). If he’s already served a prison sentence, then the Netherlands government probably believes he has been punished for the crime and is “rehabilited”. If he’s served time, double jeopardy applies to any punishment he would receive after the fact (IIRC).

    I don’t know the rapist and I don’t care about him, I’d hope he’s incredibly remorseful and I’m not defending what he did, but like the OP was driving at; why are the actions of the rapist POS who served prison time tainting the other athletes competing for their own interests / country that legally posits the guy has been punished for his actions? Imagine being proud of your work and being booed because of the previous unrelated actions of a coworker you may or may not like.

    If murderers are able to serve their prison sentence and be freed after their crime and feel remorse for their actions etc., at what point in time does someone stop being punished for their previous actions? I’m bringing up the rhetorical question in response to the common vitriol in comments surrounding sex crimes that bleeds onto anyone involved.

    Unless you believe in the death penalty and that the rapist deserved to die for his actions by the hands of his government, what does it take for everyone to move forward? I ask because you’re positing the other Netherland’s athlete is essentially guilty because he didn’t risk his Olympic ambitions and refuse to play with the rapist who legally served his sentence.

    How long he should’ve been in prison is another debate.

  • Third child dies after stabbing at Southport dance studio

  • No arguments with you my friend. People are feeling bad despite traditional indicators saying otherwise, which may have been a factor in the piece of trash’s decision to do what they did. Hopelessness and seeking fame is a bad combo
