World News@lemmy.world•Viral Google Maps Images Shared Widely This Week Show Gaza Ruins. We Obtained More Recent Satellite Imagery - bellingcatEnglish
121·14 hours agoNot to downplay the amount of destruction, but this is after the US and Israel both bombed the Gaza strip in 2014 and didn’t allow enough material back inside to rebuild.
So this is how Gaza is going to look for decades because of the US backed Israeli blockade that literally counts how many calories go into Gaza.
The genocide has been constant for decades.

7·22 hours agoColonizers always destroy the ecological attachment that indigenous people have to their lands. Not only that, it’s a source of healthy food and revenue for Palestinians.
Israel also has laws preventing the harvesting of native plants that are a cultural and vital food source for Palestinians that live in rural areas.
People still regurgitate the same colonial talking points “they brought medicine, roads, schools, writing, etc…”

World News@lemmy.world•‘NAZA’ Directors tell Haaretz:: Netanyahu’s Attacks Are ‘Incitement to Murder’English
4·1 day agoBen Gvir had a big part in stoking hatred and inflammatory language that led to the killing of Yitzhak Rabin
Rabin was killed while getting into his car in 1995, by a Jewish extremist at a rally in Tel Aviv - retaliation for signing a peace agreement two years earlier with Yasser Arafat, the chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu and other rightwing figures who stood against the peace agreement organised a rally in Jerusalem’s Zion Square a month before Rabin’s killing, during which protesters shouted “Death to Rabin”.
A photo of Ben-Gvir carrying an emblem from Rabin’s car was republished recently. Ben-Gvir reportedly said, “We got to his car, and we’ll get to him too.”

World News@lemmy.world•"Everything was Forbidden Except Breathing and Swift Death”: Israel’s Sadism Up CloseEnglish
162·2 days agoAnd just in another thread, when someone said that the Israelis are more sadistic than the Nazis, people got real angry and wanted to start comparing body counts.
There’s a difference between sending groups of people to extermination camps and and entire people taking joy in inflicting pain - that’s sadism. And Israelis (as a military force and an entire society) are 100x more sadistic than Nazi Germany was.

454·3 days agoThis article is so stupid with the dumbest fearmongering clickbait title -
Anything that calls home will try to call home. Connection or not. You put an LG tv (edit: just found out that when LG and TV are put together without a space, it gets censored?) in a faraday cage and it will try to phone home. There’s no reason it would suddenly stop doing that because there’s no point to adding another line of code to get it to stop when it doesn’t need to.
Not to mention that the important part is this:
The critical caveat: the traffic was encrypted. Researchers could document destinations and data volumes, but not the content of the packets themselves. No evidence of specific personal data exfiltration was found, and the tests do not prove that NIO is transmitting sensitive information to Chinese authorities.
Now compare that to a plethora of other car manufacturers that don’t even bother to encrypt your data and explicitly say that you will be tracked by them and have your data sold.

51·3 days agoIf Israel hasn’t carried out countless false flag operations, then this story would be more believable.
Let’s not forget that Israel and bibi himself had received several warnings about the Oct 7 attack and still didn’t do anything. There’s no limit to what bibi would do ahead of elections right now

World News@lemmy.world•Israel Bombs Newly Built Water Desalination Plant in GazaEnglish
103·4 days agoNot sure what goal posts have been moved. Both comments are of the sadistic game of sniping kids that’s institutionalized in the IDF for decades.
There is no single equivalent of mengele, but the torture death camps exist
https://www.btselem.org/sites/default/files/publications/202601_living_hell_eng.pdf
The Nazis knew what they were doing was horrific and they hid it from their own people (very well documented). Israel glorifies their sadism, is very open about it, and it’s encouraged by the majority of the population (also very well documented).
The premise here is that Israel is worse than the Nazis because of their full throated support for the genocide and genocidal actions. People can argue in terms of numbers (because apparently human suffering has to be quantified to compare tragedies), but Israel is very much the winner when it comes to institutionalized sadism that has wide and knowing support from the citizenry. And that’s why people say that Israel is worse.
