That’s a big crater for some tents. Does it help reduce the documented civilian body count when you just turn them entirely into mist and they become missing instead of killed?

Hey now, we’re also going to deliver another shipment of 2000lb bombs to use against civilians in tents, but with a strongly worded letter attached.
Source that the Palestinian victims of Israeli settler violence are the same ones using violent resistance against the occupation?
But per the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been widely adopted (and here), anti-Zionism is antisemitic. Why do you hate Jewish people?
Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

Totally unprovoked! Israel were the most moral army in the world until Hamas forced them to start offing kids in October 2023</s>
Protection? They also need reparations after this.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which tracks violent incidents in the West Bank, said in its latest update on Wednesday that Israeli settlers had carried out 25 attacks against Palestinians in the previous week.
Wow. So if you fight for your land, your territory gets leveled and you get rapidly genocided, and if you try to coexist peacefully, you get slowly genocided?
Excuse me, please keep in mind that the terms “Palestinian children” and “children of Gaza” are now antisemitic. The most moral army in the world prefers different, more holocaust/genocide-sensitive terminology.
Thanks, today I learned about New Historians.
Last week, the treatment of Palestinian prisoners ignited a furious public row, as far right demonstrators – including members of Israel’s parliament – violently tried to prevent the arrest of soldiers accused of sexually abusing a prisoner from Gaza at the Sde Teiman military base. Some of those protesting were followers of Israel’s hardline security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, the man in overall charge of the prison service. Mr Ben Gvir has frequently boasted that under his watch, conditions for Palestinian detainees have deteriorated sharply.
Such an shining example of Western values and democracy in the Middle East. Let’s send them more bombs and F-35s for self-defense against children huddling in schools and hospitals!
Don’t worry though, people who dislike Israel just secretly hate people for being Jewish. Totally not because of the decades of abuse.</s>
Automatic upvote aside, the video is absolutely worth watching.
BBC is calling him a key figure in ceasefire negotiations:

So Hamas or not, interesting choice of target by the genocidal apartheid state.
Edit: and Al Jazeera says:
Turkish politicians view Haniyeh as a dedicated figure who has tirelessly worked to broker a ceasefire, frequently travelling between Doha and Istanbul.
BBC is calling him a key figure in ceasefire talks. Unfortunately it’s in the “live” story so this prrmalink probably isn’t very good:
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c4ng7g74xppt?post=asset%3A702473f5-3053-4c5d-bec9-c92763876f83#post
BBC’s headline calls him “a key figure in ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel”, so continued genocide is a potential motivation here.
Unfortunately it’s in their “live” story so this probably isn’t a great permalink: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c4ng7g74xppt?post=asset%3A702473f5-3053-4c5d-bec9-c92763876f83#post
Well then they’d have been occupiers’ human shields. So while probably not the primary target, per Israeli policy they’d be perfectly legitimate military targets. Human shields and unrelated collateral damage are perfectly acceptable to the apartheid occupiers.
This feels misleading.
Vance made it clear, said Aaron Fritschner, deputy chief of staff for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), “that he meant no disrespect to cats, but he did mean to demean women and still holds the view in 2024 that they should be punished for not having children.”
So the actual quote here is from a chief of staff of a Democratic representative, not from dolphin-loving couch-loving JD Vance. So it’s an accusation that interprets for us. And the tweet the article cites heavily edits the text it quotes:
“Obviously it was a sarcastic comment. I’ve got nothing against cats. … People are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance … and the substance of what I said, Megyn — I’m sorry, it is true.”
Heres a video of the clip without the editing: https://therecount.com/watch/obviously-it-was-a-sarcastic/2645895762
Ok, so the edits here at least aren’t misleading…
Then based on the 9 minute clip of her show in the original article, it seems like he’s claiming the substance is not about the cat lady comment, but some lies about what Democrats believe about families (democrats think kids are for the economy, republicans want to make it easier for women to stay in the workforce (I mean, is there a more blatant lie than that? They’re the ones who fight against extending COVID-era childcare credits!), etc). That’s what says he’s doubling down on. And given the context that does truly seem to be the lies he’s doubling down on.
Let’s try to stick to sincere, defensible attacks against people for whom there are many valid attacks, and not spread misleading claims that JD is doubling down on “crazy cat ladies”. He’s shit and we can demonstrate that in good faith, or we can lie like he does.
Hey now if that was the reason that would mean the Israelis are racist, but they’re the most moral country in the world. So surely it couldn’t that! </s>
That’s one heck of a crater for a strike on tents. I’m sure they’ll release footage of the strike showing that it was secondary explosions, and not that they used enormous munitions to obliterate bodies so the reported casualty count from bodies at hospitals is lower.</s>
My tax dollars at work, funding genocide, and nothing I can even do about it.
