A Times visual analysis found that munition debris filmed at the scene was remnants of a GBU-39, a bomb designed and manufactured in the United States.
Yeah, he signed off those bombs and he is still the lesser of two evils.
At least he didn’t sign the bombs
Your comment makes it sound like you condone his terrible behavior towards Palestinians for the last 3.5 years and his support of Israeli crimes.
I thought I didn’t need to specify the sarcasm. and the hypocrisy of the neo libs.
Poe’s Law of the internet; without a sarcasm tag ( /s ) there’s no way of knowing if you’re sarcastic or genuinely crazy. It could be either considering how nutty people are online.
Check out libertarian nomination Chase Oliver. He is very strong on anti-war. Don’t vote for evil to avoid evil. Vote for someone who represents your views.
This guy wants to abolish the US Department of Education and all federal education organizations, defund/privatize healthcare, and leave Ukraine to fall to Russia. No thanks.
I was on Reddit yesterday, the apologists there are fucking sickening. I swear Reddit was not like that before, years ago everybody on Reddit was well aware of what Israel was.
Yeah we all got banned lol.
I even saw someone with a very old and active account and a mod of a big sub get perma banned by admins because he made a comment against Israel a few years ago.
Like straight up deleted everything. We only knew because revvedit managed to grab his last comment.
I’m wondering if Hasbara got decent amount of control of Reddit. They are on reddit, for sure, but I’m wondering how big their operation is. To me some of the comments and upvotes feel unnatural. Not like the reddit I remember at all and its making me think something fucky is going on.
Get a few in charge as mods of major subs and they can influence the conversations. It’s not too difficult and looks like it happened in worldnews and news subs.
Worldnews and News subreddit mods mass-banned all pro-Palestine commenters last October. The subs got dangerously unbalanced as a result.
Great time to switch to Lemmy.
I’m already on here way more than reddit. I just poke my head in every once in a while, get grossed out and leave
everybody on Reddit was well aware of what Israel was.
The most diverse, liberal, progressive nation in the Middle East?
I did not know ethnonationalism wrapped up with religion was a liberal progressive value
Hey look, it’s everyone’s favorite genocide denier spreading more bullshit.
What would happen to me if I said that the invasion of Gaza was a genocide in Tel Aviv? Would I be arrested?
Huh, What would happen?
Can I get married in Israel if I’m gay?
Does Israel threaten gay Palestinians with being outed if they don’t cooperate as spies?
spreading more bullshit.
Which part was bullshit? I’ll wait.
The bit where you call an ethnostate actively engaged in a genocide liberal and progressive.
I’m still waiting on you answering my questions.
Come on, I answered yours. You didn’t even have to wait long.
I’ll wait.
Arabs & muslims not having full rights and being 2nd class citizens is progressive and diversity? What are you on? Even fascist Erdoğan’s Turkey is more progressive than that!
So as a conservative, you must really dislike Israel right?
Country Who Buys Weapons Exclusively From the US Found To Use Weapons Made in the US.
Fascinating.
Israel makes most of its own weapons (the Merkava can be made completely with domestic parts, unlike other countries’ MBTs which rely on some foreign parts). Their policy is basically “we shouldn’t completely rely on other countries because they might abandon us” (wonder why anyone would do that, hmm). That being said, I’m pretty sure they don’t actually manufacture their own ammunition so I don’t know if they produce their own bombs…
U.S. officials have been pushing Israel to use more of this type of bomb, which they say can reduce civilian casualties.
This is the unique identifier code assigned by the U.S. government to Woodward, an aerospace manufacturer based in Colorado that supplies parts for bombs including the GBU-39.
You have to not fire it at civilians first.
Yeah it’s designed to hit targets with little splash as possible and it does actually work - see that a Houthi SUV that was struck in traffic? That was us using precision munitions like the GBU-39, you’ll notice it didn’t even damage any nearby cars. It admittedly doesn’t work if you deliberately aim it at civilians like these IDF assholes love to do.
Time to mandate a reassessment from Blinken.
