We’re going to see an exodus of foreign born students and it’s going to hit college towns hard.

You aren’t wrong, but can you really say they wouldn’t do this to socialists if they didn’t do it to Le Pen first? The concept of “precedent” seems very nebulous and liberal to me. In many countries the first targets are socialists.

Seems to me like they can go after anyone they want and they always could. Going after Le Pen doesn’t change this.

Different administration controlled by a different party and before they reformulated the Hannibal Directive in 2016.

That said, Hamas probably did make a strategic mistake by thinking Israel would give a shit about its people, but in so doing they also achieved another strategic objective - the heightening of contradictions within Israeli society by showing Israeli citizens how little their government cares about them and how willing it is to kill them for a strategic advantage. They also managed to show the world that Israel is a rogue state and it has become more isolated than ever before as a direct result.

We’ll see how this works out in the long run, but don’t discount Oct 7th as a failure just yet.

Israel doesn’t give a fuck about any of its people, whether they’re civilians or soldiers. There’d be no difference if the kidnapped were all soldiers.

Also the thing about international law is it has to apply to everyone or it doesn’t exist. Israel, by not following internatonal law, has forfeited its protections. Hamas simply followed the same rules of war that Israel does. Israel brought this on themselves.

the rest mindless slaughter

Hasbara. Hamas wanted hostages and had no incentive to commit “mindless slaughter” - they’re not mindless demons. It’s likely the majority of the deaths were from the Hannibal Directive, which is why Israel won’t let the UN conduct an investigation.

How does Hamas holding hostages justify bombing hospitals and schools?

Also, the ceasefire was meant to be a hostage exchange. Israel gives up hostages in exchange for the hostages Hamas took. Israel decided it didn’t want to give up any more hostages and violated the ceasefire agreement.

I’ll ask again: how is that relevant to the fact that Israelis love blowing up hospitals and schools?

Imagine playing Dwarf Fortress in a recliner with a pair of these.

Yeah I’m sure this Oscar winning director who worked with Israelis to film was throwing rocks at people.

Fuck off Israel. No one believes your lies anymore.

He was assaulted by a lynch mob.

The difference is basically just grammar.

The genocide is bipartisan.

Who ordered it and why is the same no matter how many shooters there were. If there were fourty gunmen, who ordered it and why remains the same.

I don’t see how this undermines the “lone shooter” narrative - what it undermines is the “acting alone” narrative. Lee was an asset. Why not just be satisfied with assuming he assassinated the president under orders?

As if Google isn’t already crammed with Israeli spies. In fact, that’s probably why an Israeli company just got a sweetheart buy out from Google! This is just a continuation of a pre-existing issue Google already had.

You’re a Nazi if you think communism is worse than the fucking Nazis. Every fucking time, when anti-communists try to push the lie that communism is worse than Nazis you end up with mass killings of suspected communists.

Raise your child to smoke meth appropriately.

It kind of is when it’s about Israel.

Really? Accidental release implies China is dangerously incompetent, which can be used to further justify more restrictions and constraints on Chinese science because they can’t be trusted.
