  1. I was one of those who thought world central kitchen were doing something good. Sad to hear it's a publicity stunt.

  2. Thanks Nora

  3. I rewatch these clips after seeing the whole thing to help the algorithm and press like.

  4. Nora you are so tough. I know you and others at EI see very disturbing videos you can't show us. Keep up the excellent work however if it becomes too much take a break and this applies to the rest of your team.

  5. In answer to the question, yes they can. Nobody is stopping them in the West Bank so this is no different.

  6. Encourage people to read "road to nowhere " lyrics by talking heads, i think it's quite apt. Israel is literally building an East West highway through Gaza that literally goes nowhere and for reasons unknown. It sure isn't to make sure goods get delivered otherwise guess what it would have run north south.

  7. Netanyahu has apparently said they are going into Rafah whether or not a ceasefire deal is reached, meaning they are only offering a temporary pause in the killings. With that sort of offer on the table hamas has no other option other than to say no.

  8. It is a bit of a consolation because it means the Israeli Jews are losing support.

  9. Truly depressing however I think it's important to let the video run its course to help the algorithm. The more people know the truth the better. One day a major political party from a high income country is going to object to the apartheid state of Israel .

  10. Placing those bombs under the road was a very bold action. Because it's an open area they could easily be spotted by drones, so they must have monitored the drone activity for days to know when the drones aren't flying in that area.

  11. I take issue as an Australian regarding your comment that a US Liberal believes in [free market] capitalism, they don't and Trump is even worse. They believe in crony capitalism and protectionism which got a lot worse under Trump and remained unchanged under Biden. There's a reason almost everything in the US now costs more than Australia with inflation really high despite the fact the national US minimum wage being half that of Australia's minimum wage. Things objectively should be cheaper in the US based on wages. As far as Kamala not being a friend of the Palestinians, it really doesn't matter, Americans must make a pragmatic choice of Harris or Trump or a protest vote or not voting. The position on Israel/Palestine isn't going to change any time soon and even if 99% of the rest of the world recognised Palestine i would bet the last 2 major countries to change position will be the UK and US.

  12. Here's a challenge for Jon Elmer, why does the propellant exhaust change colour, is this happening with the non cloned rockets. Is it a cost reduction technique for the last push of the rocket or insulation as in it's just flour or sawdust or something to stop the explosive getting too hot and burning as the lowest cost option or third option does the black smoke provide some sort of issues with the Israeli military tracking? Yeah I know a complicated question but hey let's challenge the Electronic Intifada to make them stronger. The first white coloured smoke is almost definitely gun powder.

  13. I think you will find anything said in congress is absolutely protected free speech, you can't sue them. I am Australian and that's how it works in Parliament. I think it's completely standard worldwide as it actually should be so people in government can do their job without fear of being sued by billionaires for example who could just keep you in court forever stopping you from doing your job.

  14. In reality some will be mistreated however hamas leadership will have directed everyone to treat hostages well. Another thing is hamas might not be the only group holding hostages.

  15.  @explorer0213  of course Palestinian will continue to resist but no foreign power has been willing to stand up to Israel.

  16. ​@CFX992 Assuming g word you are referring to the modern definition. They all succeeded, this has been going on for 1,000s of years by many Eurasian Empires. Interesting how you decided to choose one empire only. No population wise natives in the new world weren't wiped out through direct violence even though many massacres occurred , however a large number died from Eurasian diseases. So it's not a question of will a colony succeed, the question is more along the lines of should recent colonies commit g word any more. If you take the legal definition then China is the worst offender by population effected, they aren't killing people but they are trying to eliminate the free practicing of Islam in Xinjiang and Buddhism in Tibet. Ireland was more a matter of ethnic cleansing, the Australian population identifying as having Irish ancestry is half the population of Ireland approximately, a lot more of them in North America.

  17. Sabiya is very smart, I guess she is a law student and will be a very good lawyer.

  18. Nora you haven't made it onto the list of canary mission, they are scared of you I guess.

  19. The "domino theory" is correct in the opposite way to the theory itself that more and more countries would become communist. In fact the dominoes are falling in the other direction even if it's slow, apartheid in all its forms is slowly falling next domino is probably Palestine/Israel. Capitalism is slowly taking over previous communist countries even if still ruled by an oppressive communist party. Free Palestine don't give up students especially in the US, the only country that provides such a large donation to a high income country with better healthcare than the US itself. Also try to broaden support if possible, while it's unlikely you will agree with them on other issues the MAGA base hates giving money to Israel, just don't talk about other issues, make sure this remains a single issue protest.

  20. Free northern Ireland from Sien fein. About the same

  21. People don't tend to realise racial nationalists/supremacists respect each other. You will find for example Chinese supremacists being highly respected by American white supremacists because China keeps others out to a very large extent and the US doesn't. Of course we can go back to WWII and the ideology of Germany and Japan was in total alignment.

  22. So the number 1 and 2 hasbara agents in any particular order are US and Germany who are still repeating lies even the Israeli government officials have moved on from.

  23. One i would say is in the case of UCLA arrests the police weren't brutal based on what i saw there to their credit, every other one i have seen the police used force way in excess of what was required. Excessive force is being used as arbitrary punishment and to instill fear. There's no excuse for it. I realise this might have been taped prior to the ucla crackdown.

  24. What amazes me is this open source training video. The Isreali soldiers are still opening windows which stands out like dogs balls. Even if the soldiers aren't in view the flutter of the curtains draws a load of attention because a moving object draws attention because of instincts. If I was an Israeli soldier I would prefer a few degrees higher temperature than giving up my position. 100% sure leaving windows open before evacuation would be extremely rare, I am certain if I was evacuating I would lock and close everything in hopes I can return. It doesn't make sense to leave windows open and let rain come in.

  25. The natoinal guard is military. People in the military are primarily taught how to kill others, they are not like police who at least in theory are taught things like proportional response and de escalation.
