And claimed he has a historic right to live in... Palestine.

It's sick how all Palestinans are referred to simply as "terrorists" by some Israelis, and not just those in the military.

Hollywood too

Great meme, even better post description.

What's funny is that that's a description of MEV.

gaining access to pending transactions, altering the movement of the electronic currency, and ultimately stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency from their victim

I skipped "fraudulent" because neither MEV bots nor this attack can be called fraudulent imo, although MEV is definitely taking value one didn't help create.

Let them eat MEV bot operators.

So it's a justified genocide then?

This is a good question but I would just like to point out that 15 years ago nobody would have predicted that the questions we were asking and answering on stackoverflow would be used to train models (and that open source would have it's license violated so brazenly) and that if you tried to delete your contributions because you didn't want them to be used to train models you would get banned from the site, so even though adding a license to your comments might be meaningless, it might also be a powerful tool down the line. You never know how it'll go.

There were other factors at play, too.

We can do it. We can make him dumber than he was. Dumber, weaker, slower.

Great things have their start like that, like U.S Cyber Command!

Lol yea, but is Dave M. Van Zandt really a Zionist? I hadn't heard that.

My favorite part of their Wikipedia page is

Fact checks are carried out by independent reviewers who are associated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) and follow the International Fact-Checking Network Fact-checkers’ Code of Principles, which was developed by the Poynter Institute.

...

Writers at the Poynter Institute, which develops PolitiFact,[24] have stated that "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."

they can promote certain perspectives while downplaying others

Exactly, and they have the reach to be very effective at controlling the narrative.

“What is taking place is a systematic effort to distort the image of Palestinian journalists as being incapable of trustworthiness and integrity, simply because we cover the human rights violations that the Palestinian people undergo on a daily basis at hands of the Israeli army,” Salem wrote today on Facebook and Twitter, in a thread that has been widely retweeted, 5000 times this morning.

The case stands in stark contrast to the three Jewish reporters, Ethan Bronner, Isabel Kershner, and David Brooks, who carried on writing about the issue for the New York Times even when their children were enlisted in the Israeli Defense Forces.

The Israel lobby is massively invested in propaganda, like NGO monitor and the above linked "organization Honest Reporting, which exists to attack the Palestinian narrative in the west". Not to mention ads on google, youtube, controlling the narrative on facebook, google again, twitter.... the list goes on. And yeah, there's app for that.

And it's not the first time NYT has run a direct propaganda piece. They have to do this once in a while for the Israeli government to reassert its hegemony over the narrative.

Yes, I know mediabiasfactcheck.com says NYT is excellent but that's just a reflection on mediabiasfactcheck.com.

I know they were funded in part by Israel to destroy Palestinian unity and give Israel an excuse to kill more Palestinians and take their land, but was Hamas really created by Israel?

What's the credibility of mediabiasfactcheck.com?

Did you read that page yet?

Israelis domestically and abroad have primarily called for the return of hostages held by Hamas.

Some of the protests were

• Protest against humanitarian aid
• Pro-war protests

Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide, or even to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza, in fact:

On 9 November, Israeli police arrested former MK Mohammad Barakeh in Nazareth for attempting to organize an anti-war protest.[53]

The reason you have not seen "Israelis who have the courage to protest against what Israel is doing in Gaza" in the news is that it's not happening.

Jews, on the other hand, have been getting locked up in droves (and since the beginning of the latest offensive) protesting Israel's actions.

Did you read that page? Some of the protests were

• Protest against humanitarian aid
• Pro-war protests

The rest were to get the hostages back. Nothing remotely about peace or anti-genocide.

allowing the scraping and evading X's own anti-scraping technology.

I wonder why evading anti-scraping technology is not treated like bypassing DRM or the DMCAs anti-circumvention rules.

Not only do they make Hamas look like the good guys, Israel has put the world into a position where Iran, a nation run by theocratic despots who brutalize women and sponsor terror, is the calmer actor in international missle attacks!
