  • Bluntly - step outside lemmy and you'll see plenty.

    There's little point for even trying to discuss it here - that died with the stickied post about the ICJ ruling and a mod who joined in rather than preventing hate speech.

  • Spain to continue Palestinian funding amid international controversy

  • I doubt the intelligence they transferred is only about the 12, given the size and immediacy of the reaction. Those are the ones they were able to most easily prove using Hamas' own footage of October 7th.

    My guess is they passed a list with a lot more than 12 to each of those countries, and said "watch how many they fire".

    Bottom line is that it isn't in Israel's best interests to stop all aid - they want to avoid a true humanitarian crisis (as opposed to the current threat of one) to achieve the war goals: return the hostages and destroy Hamas. UNRWA is best positioned to provide aid, but the proof on the ground is that they aren't distributing that aid effectively at all and people are suffering as a result.

  • It is extremely coincidental the director of UNRWA announced they terminated the employment of 9 employees during the ICJ hearing.

    Almost like he was trying to bury the news.

  • Around 20% of the kids asked for seconds, so not as popular as a plain chocolate box cake with chocolate ganache frosting, but I'm proud of it.

    I'm honestly excited to try out different flavors for the frosting.

  • Condensed milk whipped into the butter. I was legit surprised how close the taste was.

    Honestly, the dried strawberries were hella expensive. I'm planning on doing a syrup next time. I'm thinking something like a small box of strawberries reduced and then through a blender, and drop some of the condensed milk to compensate for the extra liquid.

  • Cynical take: maybe don't employ terrorists

    Real take: UNRWA staffers will be busy scrubbing their socials for the next week instead of actually handing out aid. Of course, they aren't exactly distributing the aid anyways so I guess it will make fuckall difference. They'll complain about it and blame all their troubles on it anyways. Bottom line is that aid won't get to the people who need it until Hamas stops preventing it from reaching those in need.

  • Middle East crisis live: ICJ ruling on case alleging genocide by Israel in Gaza and call for it to stop military action

    Jump

  • Except immediate access to the means isn't actually part of it. They attempted to ethnically cleanse the area around Gaza, and publicly stated that one of their goals with the rocket fire was to empty the city of Ashkelon. They don't get a pass because they failed to fully succeed.

    The UN shouldn't be employing genocidal terrorists.

  • Middle East crisis live: ICJ ruling on case alleging genocide by Israel in Gaza and call for it to stop military action

    Jump

  • I wonder how long it will take for Israel to file a countersuit against Palestine for their failure to prevent genocidal statements.

    There's plenty of room to have the ICJ force the UN to designate Hamas, PFLP, PIJ, Hezbollah, and others as genocidal terrorist organizations that cannot receive any UN funding or have their members employed by the UN. UNRWA would have to fire half their employees, but that's not a bad thing.

  • From Opposite Sides of War, a Hunt for Elusive Facts

    Jump

  • Don't underestimate people who have a vested interest in one side of a story and are willing to sacrifice anything to push that agenda.

    That and the danger that a group will take their status and abuse it to push a particular agenda despite evidence to the contrary. At that point they're not fact checking - they're actively pushing disinformation.

  • Moment innocent civilian brandishing white flag in Gaza 'safe zone' is shot dead in the street

  • There's a long cut, and the camera zooms in on them before the shots. It's pretty easy to spot that there's context that is missing.

    It's probably 50-50 if that context would change anything in reality, but the fact it's missing could mean anything from the cameraman just getting more background footage to the group putting away their firearms after taking potshots at soldiers. Most likely, it's somewhere in between all that and they were warned verbally to turn around.

  • I’ll definitely need a source for that

    Literally google maps and wikipedia. Most of them are 100-200 people only. I exclude the areas past the 232 road because fewer than 5% of all Hamas allied deployments reached there.

  • I probably missed a few, and that's all since October 6th.

    I also intentionally only included the ones they can't possibly say "this is a individual soldier or group of soldiers acting on their own initiative".

  • On October 7th, Hamas and PIJ militants attacked 20+ civilian communities and killed over 10% of the civilian population of the entire region with the explicit purpose of ethnically cleansing the area, along with thousands of rockets targeting civilian population centers across Israel.

    The civilian casualties in Gaza are a very sad fact of combat in a densely populated urban area, and are not being intentionally targeted by Israel alongside explicit declarations and very public military orders that "civilians are not to be targeted". So far, around 1% of the civilian population of Gaza has been killed.

    So yeah, very different. They are the awful realities of war. Some of them are likely avoidable, but a large number of them are not, especially given Hamas' tactics and doctrine of embedding within civilian populations.
