      You should have seen them in the lead up to Iraq invasion. They’ve been training for years for this moment.

        Yeah, I was completely tuned out at that point. I stopped viewing any current events because the world was so terrible and I was so depressed about it. Funny that it’s so much worse now and I’m still plugged in. I guess that’s what happens with age and experience. You get worn down to awful news.

      I think this is just a case of NYT WANTING a Palestinian genocide so they’re more than willing to sanitize the message and promote pro-genocide propaganda.

      I don’t think people are being genocided by leopards. Is that some lib conspiracy?

      They’re being murdered by bombs supplied by the USA under every administration.

    NYT has always been imperial propaganda. It’s just become so much more obvious with their screeching support for genocide.

    Imagine taking this rag seriously as anything other than disgusting propaganda.

    “Follow me and you’ll have a beautiful paradise…don’t, and there will be pain and torture”.

    Paraphrased, albeit slightly…but I’m sure I’ve heard this offer before somewhere. I’ve checked my forehead, chest, and both nipples…but can’t find it.

      Best comment I’ve seen on Lemmy. Maybe you’ll find it under your small domed hat or between your elbows when on your rug as well?

    The NYT is a piece of shit.

    That said, I’d like someone from the lemmygrad crowd to explain why Harris was definitively for sure was gonna be worse than this. I’m being serious. Elucidate specifically how Harris would have been materially worse for Palestinians in general, and Gaza (and now the West Bank) in particular.

    Edit: typical that nobody who downvoted actually replied at all, let alone with a trenchant comment.

      Anyone that said that she would be worse is still going to say the same no matter what Trump does. He could personally go over there and start feasting on their flesh and she would still be lacking in the two things they care about most: she is not a man, she is not white. And they know how fucked up that is. Which is why they always claim that their excuse is something else.

          Do you mean the thousands of palestinians being held in torture camps? Many of them women and children?

          Some of them will be released but their families won’t be allowed to celebrate, their physical condition will not be reported by imperial media, their role as hostages won’t be acknowledged, etc etc etc.

          I recalled from the ceasefire plan that phase 1 included all civilians and phase 2 would be the Israeli soldiers. Seeing that phase 1 is finished I assumed all the non-combatants have now been released. I will have to double check my statement, thanks for the heads up.

          Angrest, a soldier, was kidnapped from his tank at the Nahal Oz base when it was attacked by Hamas. He was abducted along with fellow soldier Itay Chen, 19, who was killed in the attack.

          lol

          Edit:

          I was indeed wrong. Phase one included women including active duty IDF soldiers. Hamas counts all males in IDF reservist age range as soldiers. Thanks for the correction
