    Media scholar Jack Bratich has criticized the NCRI for a lack of neutrality, accusing it of being used to target domestic dissenters labelled as threats.[17] In 2021, the NCRI was criticized by Matthew Lyons of the anti-fascist project Three Way Fight for equating undesirable political views on the left and right, particularly in the wake of the George Floyd protests and for allegedly aligning with state security interests.[18]

    In a public lecture on May 13, 2022, Hetz CEO Eran Teboul stated that the organization has privately raised funds for NCRI, during an event hosted by the Norwegian nonprofit Med Israel for fred (MIFF).[19]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Israel_for_Peace

    With Israel for Peace (Norwegian: Med Israel for fred, MIFF) is a Norwegian pro-Israel organisation. It styles itself as a "non-religious, non-partisan pro-Israel organisation", and has 14,000 registered members as of 2024.[1] A main concern of the organisation is what it sees as a negative bias towards Israel in mainstream Norwegian media coverage. The director of the organisation is Conrad Myrland, and the president is Lars Johan Nordgård.

    Hasbara organizations complaining that their propaganda is met with the same counter tactics.

    Why Ukrainian media is stupid to follow it is beyond me though. With the US getting dragged into the Middle East and Governments like Germany doubling down on their blind support for Israel, Ukraine will face a lot of negative consequences. First of all the military support by the Western countries will take a hit. More importantly this will lead to a huge spike in the oil and gas prices and likely soften European sanctions against Russia, pumping a lot of money into the Russian war chest and economy.

    A major war in West Asia will be detrimental to Ukraine.

  • Attacking Civilians and killing yourself are haram.

    Also note how they guy initially planned to target Shia muslims.

    “The witness observed the user of Crazz3pain state they were willing, as reported by the Witness, to ‘kill Shia Musilms at their mosque,”

    Fuck Wahhabis, Salafis and their toxic influence on Islam while being in bed with the US and other imperialists.

  • I strongly recommend you to listen to Ilan Pappe. He describes well how Israels society has deep internal rifts as the narrative of Zionism ultimately failed to build a cohesive society.

    So ultimately Israel needs the eternal war for two main reasons:

    1. To keep the support by its western lapdogs up, by presenting itself as the eternal victim under war.
    2. To keep the internal pressure contained by the necessity to hold together because of war.

    See for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9rr3j7vZGo

  • Iraq wasn't an "intelligence failure". There was tampered "evidence", singular sources blown out of proportion instead of their veracity challenged and wild computer animations to drive the point home with the public.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_Iraqi_mobile_weapons_laboratories

    They knew they were lying, just that today it is even more brazen. The US needed to produce images of "strength" after 9/11 so it was clear they will invade someone. They didn't invade their allies in Saudi Arabia despite most of the perpetrators being Saudi nationals. It was clear to seasoned politicians that this is a sham aimed at producing the right images and seize the opportunity to reshape the region.

  • I don't think so. People of palestine action have faced prison sentences for nonviolent crimes. And they have been active well before Russias fullscale invasion of Ukraine.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action

    Palestine Action was established on 30 July 2020 when activists broke into and spray-painted the interior of Elbit Systems' UK headquarters in London.[2] The organisation's co-founders are Huda Ammori, whose father is Palestinian, and Richard Barnard, a long-term left-wing activist.

    Filton 18

    An initial ten people were raided and arrested by counter-terror forces under the Terrorism Act on 19 November 2024 in relation to an August action against the Elbit Systems HQ in Bristol,[47] in addition to those previously arrested on the scene who were charged for non-terror related crimes.[48][49] In total, 18 activists were held in custody, dubbed the Filton 18.[50][51] Tom Southerden of Amnesty International said the terrorism powers were misused to circumvent normal legal protections, resulting in excessively long pre-charge detention.[52] Documents released under Freedom of Information suggest that the UK government shared contact details of counter-terrorism police and prosecutors with the Israeli embassy during the investigation into the incident.[53]

    https://palestineaction.org/prison-sentences/

    Two people who took direct action to dismantle and occupy a weapons company, were sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to charges of criminal damage. A third, who had taken part in the action was acquitted at Chester Crown Court. Out of the two imprisoned, Mike Lynch White, a scientist, was sentenced to 27 months. The other, was sentenced to 16 months. Usually, approximately half of a custodial sentence is served in prison.

    This would be a ridiculously ineffective way to waste operatives. Also if there was any plausible links to Russia, there is a strong reason to assume that something would have come up in the "counter-terror" investigations and heavily placated by the British and Israeli government to delegitimize the group.

    If we look at actual Russian sabotage we see exploding parcels, drones around military sites, arson attacks...

    Nonwithstanding, the fact that two people on an E-Scooter could break into an airforce base, damage planes there and leave undetected will surely be followed closely by Russia and is a huge security failure for the RAF. If people can drive in a fire extinguisher full of paint, Russian operatives could drive in a bunch of explosives and destroy all the planes on the tarmac.

  • Production license.

    Russia got the plans how to build the drones from Iran and pays a certain license fee for every drone they build in Russia.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/05/29/russia-iran-drone-cooperation-industry/

    Production of weapons under licensing deals is quite common in the arms industry, especially as it helps to circumvent national export restrictions. For instance the second most common rifle in the West Asia region (after Kalashnikov variants) is the German Heckler & Koch G3 as millions of units were produced by various countries in the region under licensing deals.

  • I don't think that for Russia an US invasion of Iran would be bad. Russia builds most of the drones themselves on a license now. As Israel is already bombing Iran, Iran won't be able to deliver a lot to Russia for quite some time.

    Meanwhile if the US and its EU allies get bogged down in Iraq 2.0 for the next twenty years, Russia will be able to deal with Ukraine much easier, while China can increase its presence in South Asia. Furthermore a full blown war with Iran will likely block the strait of Hormuz, skyrocket the Oil and Gas prices and bankroll Russia as the EU will either directly come crawling back for Russian Oil and Gas or will scale down their efforts to limit sanction circumvention through India, Turkiye, Azerbaijan and others.

    If the West commits to "regime change" in Iran, they will likely sacrifice Ukraine to Russia.

  • In a better world the driver wouldn't be exploited in a gig economy and have little incentive to risk criminal charges for a fucking laptop.

    You are completely running past socioeconomic factors to be the main driver of small scale crime.

  • That a lot of people have a problem with drinking and drug abuse and we have a toxic drinking culture doesn't make it a good idea to join in on it.

    Many women are victims to sexual violence and domestic violence during their life. While these also happen without alcohol or other drugs, these increase the chance of violence significantly.

    If you are serious about the other person, stay sober.

    It is only anecdotically but none of the people i know had a club/bar/festival relationship survive. And when they ended, they ended with a lot of drama. One couple i knew briefly that went to parties together all thf time later accused each other of being violent.

    Meanwhile the people that met through shared hobbies and friends do quite well, or managed to end their relationships in a respectful manner when things didnt work out.

    But i guess not doings drugs and warning of their detriment means i am being "terminally online". After all, all the cool kids do drugs. And the older they get while doing that, the cooler they get...

  • My experience is that such relationships usually end badly and quickly. Also sleeping around is not curing being an "incel". It is just masking the insecurity, lack of maturity and lack of responsible behavior.

    However if you meet at a bar and decide to meet for a date later, having alcohol or drugs involved in that date also is a huge red flag. That means the person doing drugs has issues with their emotional regulation. Also especially for women doing drugs with some relatively unknown men is increasing the risk of being date-raped.

    If you aren't a creep, don't do creepy shit. Involving alcohol and other drugs definitely is worse for everyone involved than being sober.

  • Did you even read what it wrote? Nowhere do i say that.

    If you only strike conversations with people at a party with the intent of getting into their pants, you will not be invited to many parties. If you hold a conversation and then start to like each other, asking for a date is something different.

  • Well, Israel and its allies provided a lot of statements that justify attacks on hospitals.

    As the BBC reported, there is military and intelligence sites nearby, which is consistent with Irans claim of having targeted legitimate military targets. I guess the Israelis should be condemned here for using their hospitals as human shields, like they have accused their targets of, usually falsely.

    I hope that as little Civilians as possible get hurt, however the attacking nation crying wolf about collateral damage, after butchering Civilians in the tens of thousands during the past years and well before that too, cannot help but raise an eyebrow. This comes especially as many people in the Israel civilian population have cheered on massacre against Civilians.

  • You will end up with leaders that will not meet each other or leave their countries. You will end up with leaders eternally paranoid that at any moment they could be assassinated by a foreign power.

    This will be a guarantee for much more wars, killing many more people than we already have.

  • The Nazis used the promise of food to get Jews in Warsaw and other ghettos onto the trains to the death camps without much resistance.

    Going house to house to kill people is dangerous. Drawing them out in the open and shooting at them with tanks is easy.
