The Israeli government has repeatedly criticised Al Jazeera's coverage of the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. Al Jazeera is one of the few global media channels that has a physical presence in Gaza and Israel. Israel has barred anyone from leaving or entering Gaza, which it has put under complete siege, cutting off water, electricity and food. International coverage of the Israeli bombardment, therefore, has fallen to media organisations already on the ground, such as Al Jazeera.
this dudes like makima for fujoshis
Biden's visit has concluded. Israel has spent his entire visit trying to muddy the waters of what happened to Al Ahli Hospital and despite their cartoonish efforts, it hasn't worked
The Global South and especially West Asia know who is responsible for the bombing and no amount of AI voice recordings of 'Hamas operatives' can change that.
Israel war crimes continues to backfire on them even in America
Biden backing Israel has had an impact on America's image. Here's a Wall Street Journal article warning that America's continued support is turning countries towards Russia and China which is code for turning countries against America
An EU official said that the EU will pay a heavy price in the Global South for its continued, unabashed support for Israel
There's also speculation that the Biden administration knew about the bombing before it happened.
Countries that were/are allied with Israel continue to distance themselves from Israel like Russia. The reason I keep highlighting Russia is because the West has been running out of ammunition due to the Russia-Ukraine war and that includes Israel which is rumoured to have sent 80-90% of its ammunition to Ukraine. If this conflict lasts a long time, Israel will need to buy weapons and ammunition and Russia would be one of the countries they would turn to (same with China)
So, where are we in terms of the conflict? After days of waffling over a ground operation in Gaza, Israel postponed it until some time after Biden's visit and now we're back here again
Now I'm no military expert but constantly going back and forth on whether or not you'll invade Gaza is bound to do damage to your troops' morale. No wonder they're dealing with mass desertions while their citizens demonstrate on the streets. The Israeli leadership has no plan besides bombing Gaza.
I've seen people on twitter say that the hospital bombing was done deliberately to normalise IDF soldiers to mass civilian deaths in places like hospitals, schools, places of worship, etc. I don't know if I believe that - I think they wanted to push Iran and Hezbollah's buttons before hiding behind Biden. I don't think these people are thinking strategically.
As far as the possibility of regional war is concerned, all indicators show that the West preparing for the war to escalate
Seems to me the Israel has seen what Ukraine has received in just a year and a half of war. They're done receiving a paltry 3.8 billion every year and now prepared to drag out the conflict and I can't say I blame with Biden proposing a 100 billion package for both Ukraine and Israel. This will stretch America too thin as far as funding in concerned. Cracks are already showing
There are parts of the US government that is unhappy that the Ukraine war is losing attention. During the Ukraine war, you had parts of the government that wanted focus to shift from Russia to China. Because of that, the US government has spent the past year alternating between hostility to Russia and threatening to go to war with China over Taiwan. When Niger expelled France from within its borders, America was preparing to join that conflict until Mali and Burkina Faso declared they would fight with Niger. Now they're entering a third front in West Asia. In short, the mighty empire is expending a lot of resources right now and it is not the threat it was when it invaded Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s.
At any rate, the ground invasion of Gaza won't go the way Israel and America hopes it will
The coalition of Palestinian resistance fighters are still patiently waiting for the IDF to come meet them. Their allies aren't backing down either
The reason I keep making these posts is to remind people that, while the genocide of the people of Gaza is horrifying, the war for the liberation of Palestine has not yet been lost.
Do not lose hope. From the river to sea, Palestine WILL be free
Jewish Voice for Peace sit-in at the US capitol right now
New reaction image dropped
Netanyahu being mask off evil and still being supported by the United States government is actually very much expected and should not be surprising for anyone - like this is very much in the cards for the US to support them (and they have for decades) because the US government is also evil. it is important you all understand that
the US openly supported apartheid in south africa. and genocidal military coups in asia and latin america. why is anyone surprised?
🇮🇷🇵🇸Tehran's Azadi Tower has switched on its lights in a show of support for the people of Palestine.

Read all the tips of the visual novel SeaBed. I kind of read through them quickly and I'm not sure what to make of them mystery solving wise. They really should have did them like Higurashi or at least the steam version of it where it offered you to read them as you were reading the main story instead of just mentioning them and not stopping. Probably would make things a bit more clear. Feels like I have more hints of things of sorts with no idea of what to do with them or a strong context for them. I might think about it more though.
Not even sure about the most basic facts I've gathered from them to be honest. Are there two Sachikos or did she just change that much, etc.
Wait they start using he/him for Saber? Aww thats disappointing. I thought Nasu said they wanted to try making a genderless Saber.
It just adds he/him for Saber in addition to the she/her that the game was using already. Saber's character profile has their gender remain as '?' for the rest of the game.
Saber also continues to answer to either pronouns. Immediately after the first cutscene that exclusively refers to them with he/him, there's a sidequest where they respond to an NPC calling them young girl, and another that calls them a female fighter.
As my politics have kind of matured and, not necessarily mellowed but sort of settled into a cohesive, cogent belief, the thing I’ve come to realize is that all the “leftist praxis”, all the book learning, the talking points, the class consciousness and intellectual rigor, it’s all kind of meaningless if the core of your communist principles don’t revolve around indigenous sovereignty. I think us white Western leftists tend to assume that if you just rally around economic class, everything else will fall into place, but these past few years, and especially the past week and change, have shown undeniably that this economic system is inextricably linked to a racial caste system that can’t be excised without violent, radical resistance. Empire is self perpetuating as long as the social systems it built are allowed to stand, and until those systems are broken down and destroyed, any lip service we pay to “liberation” is just that: lip service. Movements like what we’re seeing in Palestine, the landback and land defender movements here in the US, Irish reunification, pushing Western control out of Africa, these are the things the white left as a whole needs to get behind. Anything else is missing the forest for the trees.
Palestinian children are writing their own wills… They are children who shouldn’t have been thinking about this, but they are…
