Israel (The political state) uses every situation to land a few sly shots and settle old scores, while hiding behind the skirts of their powerful and generous benefactors

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Israel is behaving like a medieval state.

This is fucking insane.

There are only two types of people who love war. Those who don’t have to fight in them and those who profit from them. And they are very often the same people.

It took two hours for Albanese to declare support for the latest US/Israeli war crimes.

How long has it taken the Labor Party to consider raising the rate? To halting fossil fuels? To seriously address the racism to First Nations and Muslims?

The ALP in your head is long dead.

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to β€œtake all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

It's a long way down from Midway to *drowning the Iranian Navy Band" for the US Navy I would have thought. www.huffpost.com/entry/submar...

also I’m pretty sure that β€œkeeping the strait of hormuz closed is by orders of magnitude the most impactful thing Iran could do in this conflict” has occurred to a lot of people at this point

The US government has no interest or conception of a world order that does anything other than bend to their whims. That's it. That's the logic. Can we stop being shocked by this and just get on with opposing it?
