Neither were the churches. Or the hospitals. Or the UN facilities. Or the Schools. Or the desalination plant. Or the tents filled with refugees. Or the graves of Australian soldiers. Or Palestinian civilians. Or the greenhouses.

Do you understand?

Oh mate - that just would make them authoritarians. They’re already fascist.

Does someone have to spell out to you what an insurgency is? Or what asymmetric fighting is?

Is the IOF really so incompetent it has no access to the last 40 years of American imperialist strategy? Or can we drop the facade of logic and say this is about causing as much collateral damage/trauma as possible soas to cleanse Palestine of Palestinians.

The world knows a frontier war when we see one.

Israel is a violent settler apartheid. No.

Hun, your slavish devotion to optics are shackles. Worse, you’re policing your peers, prioritizing the abstract appeal of your optics to a hypothetical other over their reality anchored and literal praxis.

Kill the cop in your head, babe. We’ll be over here when you’re ready.

What’s wild is how people trust cops in this country. Watch the Moonlight State and know the joke is alive and well.

Cool to see that JellyKey is still going strong!

Having one of their pieces was always a “woah, wouldn’t THAT be cool” type of aspirational things for me. Very skilled craftspeople - have lots of respect for their work.

Don’t you have a flag to wave over a razed hospital somewhere?

Exactly. The only language violence respects or listens to is violence.

It’s the tolerance paradox - and why it’s a death sentence to tolerate groups or people who won’t reciprocate tolerance.

Doesn’t mean they should get away with it.

Yeah, America really needs to get its shit together and shrug of corporate capture.

Broken clocks and all that - but this one only has one hand working at this point. We’re always counting down to midnight, for some reason.

Good bot!

I mean, it’s far right attacks on left-leaning politicians. I can see where they’re coming from - it’s reminiscent of the brown shirts.

Agreed. This was a copout.

They’re a last-ditch liberation movement with four discreet wings of praxis, dude. Moreover, the Palestinian Authority is collaborationist with occupying forces - this isn’t about manufacturing an endless war, though I’m sure Lockheed Martin and Elbit shareholders would love that - this is about reclaiming tangible avenues for political agency that were either captured or outright denied, violently, by ‘Israel’.

You disagree, sure, but you don’t seem to understand the inhuman scale, decades of systemic violence, a population has to endure to make violence the only mutually understood language left.

Also - to your point - it doesn’t help how many peaceful community leaders, politicians and organizers have been assassinated by the IOF and settlers in the last 75 years. Democracy, as presented by the PA, was never earnest or effectual in occupied Palestine - it was always a membrane of indigenous skin stretched over the occupiers demands.

The attack was claimed by ISIS-K - a foreign fighter offshoot/offbrand. Funny thing is that ISIS-K fighters were getting lifts from American chanook helicopters in Afghanistan and is largely made up of US assets and/or people formerly trained by the US in Afghanistan.

Lots points to it being a CIA asset, tldr. They’re a dirty army that can be used to keep an area distabilised or prevent other geopolitical powers from building infrastructure/influence (the nutshell purpose of ISIS-K, particularly in Afghanistan to prevent pipelines being built).

They had the inside scoop on an attack outside any usual operating theatre by a group with tangible links to US cooperation/orientation? No kidding.

It’s because the port is a forward operating base and entrenches the annexation of Northern Gaza. They built a road splitting Gaza into two and are shooting anyone who approaches it. Add to that the US wants warships present to defend the oilfields it’s just been liscenced by the occupation forces.

This is, and always was, about money and ethnic cleansing. Fuck israel, free Palestine.

Praise Rand. So wise.

Actually, as a fun little aside, can you explain to me what you think Fascism is?

When you think the Brisbane Times couldn’t be more of a rag - not that I would expect political literacy from an outfit that struggles even with journalism but bloody hell.

Fraser Annings office was literally in our CBD - like come off it.
