10-minute video captured by AJArabic around the time the al-Ahli hospital was hit.

As per @Ted55643099:

Explosions on this video: (0:19) hospital. (0:16, 4:25, 4:49) behind and to the left of the hospital. (5:33, 5:56, 9:26, 10:46) behind hospital, most likely the same place. (9:38, 10:51) to the right of the hospital outside of the frame, likely the same place.

Not sure how reliable it is, but it seems like all these strikes are from the same munition class given the magnitude of the initial explosive flash.

Israeli jets confirmed operating in the area based on flares. Hamas rockets confirmed to be firing from an entirely different section of Gaza.

Several experts confirm Hamas’ view to @Channel4News that the audio tape of “Hamas” operatives talking about the missile malfunction is a fake . They say the tone, syntax, accent and idiom are absurd

Western analysts really aren't doing too hot when talking about China's economy recently. China's on track to hit their target 5% growth this year.

“UNRWA received reports that yesterday a group of people with trucks purporting to be from the Ministry of Health of the de facto authorities in Gaza, removed fuel and medical equipment from the Agency’s compound in the Gaza City,”

Given that Hamas is the de facto authority in Gaza, this cannot be Hamas lmfao

Otherwise, Hamas made no effort to disguise who they were, which is even funnier

You fact check a newspaper by... Looking at another website?

Most of the hostages that have been released have been saying pretty good things publicly, so I guess now is as good a time as any lol

Camps are emptying 🤷‍♀️

So... Yes?

Today, Xinjiang is solidly middle of the lack today in both GDP/capita and median income. Meanwhile, minority groups in Xinjiang have progressively narrowed the income gap over the years while in other provinces, Manchu and Hui people have almost eliminated the gap entirely. You're free to read the studies, but a good chunk of them are in Chinese. What is known is that, as a result, terrorist attacks have basically been eradicated. Looking at the data, whatever China has done is clearly working. It's simple, really: income go up, radicalization go down. China brought income up, and radicalization go down.

A component of CPC ideology is the idea that economic circumstance is the root of almost all problems and that, by extension, radicalization is a byproduct of being left behind by the economic system.

People might be forced into job and language training, but they do come out of it with job and language training (and with radical tendencies mostly eliminated). It's a collectively beneficial policy in the long run, but does step on Western notions of human rights quite aggressively (compulsory and forced education is a no-no).

For what it's worth, China has been trying to differentiate being "Chinese" from being "Han" to varying levels of success. This is in alignment with communist ideology. In fact, much of CPC ideology is drawn from Marxism: China is moving towards communism. In that view, China's behaviour becomes much more predictable, much easier to understand, and also much more reasonable. Communist ideology forms the core tenets of Chinese governance, just like the rights of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the principles of liberty, equality, and justice are core tenets of Western democracy.

Is this that whataboutism I've been hearing so much about?

Bear with me for a minute: why should the Constitution be an immutable document? It was written hundreds of years ago by slave-owners coming off of countless years of British oppression.

It would be like if Palestine gained independence, Hamas wrote a constitution, and every government for centuries afterwards followed that constitution.

Infrastructure delivers more economic impact with less grifting when it's not designed and run to make a profit on its own.

Jews != Zionists

Friendly reminder that Israel doesn't really mind bombing "safe routes"

I don't want to bin this, but I think I'm obligated to.
