  • But the administration remains wary about Netanyahu’s endgame and seeming lack of a plan for what to do once Hamas is defeated. There was no sense that the pause would turn into a lengthier cease-fire, a senior administration official said. And there was some concern in the administration about an unintended consequence of the pause: that it would allow journalists broader access to Gaza and the opportunity to further illuminate the devastation there and turn public opinion on Israel.

    Wtf? That's some evil sht. You don't want journalists to have access so they can accurately and truthfully report on what has happened, because it might make you look bad?

    Ugh, Biden is such a POS.

  • I mean, the article above claims that the IDF said so in their video. And the long-standing claim by Israel has been that Hamas dug an entirely new network of tunnels beneath the hospital.

    It would be strange if they were just meaning the tunnels they themselves made decades ago.

  • I also find it annoying that the IDF video has multiple cuts and jumps, rather than showing directly from how you get to this tunnel from the hospital proper.

    It makes it incredibly difficult to compare it to the building plans from then to see if this tunnel is indeed new or not. Which is maybe on purpose by the IDF on how they made the video?

  • This is far from the first paper indicating this, despite how the media is framing it. There's been more and more re-investigation of findings from the past century and earlier, with much of it not only finding that a number of the "warrior" skeletons discussed in the past were women, but also a lot of the physical evidence otherwise showing that women were involved in these activities.

    Both men and women gathered and both men and women hunted. Often together and they may have had different overall skillsets depending on personal body structure and endurance. But there's often enough of an overlap anyways that everyone could be involved in everything in some fashion.

    The long-standing claim that women couldn't be involved in hunting because of biology is like claiming that women can't be muscular or lift weights because of biology. It's a ridiculous claim.

  • Putin and other Russian government officials made it very clear that they were trying to make Donetsk and Luhansk separate so they could just assimilate them later.

    It was a non-deal entirely.

    You mean that the Taiwanese people saw that the party in charge during that prior period were just CCP shills and were trying to force re-assimilation over time. And the people of Taiwan rejected that and thus elected the DPP. Taiwan as a whole is shifting to a more progressive society and they don't want conservatives like the KMT around anymore.

    They are an independent country. They have been for decades and are now asserting that more strongly.

  • I mean, at least the media is finally starting to push back with articles like this? I've been seeing more and more mainstream news actually write article directly calling out the blatant propaganda the IDF has been making.

  • When they couldn't show anything at all right off and instead several things that appeared to be propaganda and lies (to the point that even mainstream media is reporting on it), no, I won't believe it.

    Them coming back days later to claim any of those is time enough for them to doctor up the claimed evidence.

    This is just standard propaganda making, the likes of which we saw all the time out of Russia, for example.

  • The only option for peace in Ukraine (and in Taiwan if that happens) is if Russia and China gives up. Any other "peace" for Ukraine was them giving up the land Russian's invasion had already taken, which was not an option for them.

    Russia and China are the aggressors and the evil ones in those situations. Only tankie morons claim otherwise.

  • If one wants to be ideologically consistent, they need to be pro-Ukraine and pro-Palestinian. Or the opposite, I suppose.

    Otherwise, they're just being an inherent hypocrite who is purposefully ignoring facts about one or the other conflict.

  • And yet Hamas managed to erase any evidence of their supposed tunnel system completely? The IDF was claiming a day or two ago that Hamas concreted over and "ceramic'ed over" all the tunnels during the 3 days of the hospital siege.

    Yet the IDF could show no evidence of those covered up tunnels either.
