Right. Like how many times do we read something off the wall and we can’t even tell if it’s satire or legitimate reporting anymore because absolutely any level of madness is possible.

Recent examples are this whole “President Trump to rebrand Defense Department to Department of War” sounds like a SNL skit setup or “Trump moves Space Command HQ to AL, citing CO mail-in voting” sounds like the onion. There are better examples, but it’s just like every day some new crazy thing. It’s good to stay skeptical because it really is hard to be sure of anything one way or another.

It is a restricted airspace so someone ordered it. That being said, there’s a chance it was a flyover for the Polish pilot who crashed and died while practicing for an airshow.

But, keep in mind, it doesn’t have to be Trump personally. He’s not the only person in a position of power with a vested interest to make those women disappear. Plenty of influential scum bags to go around. And once the names are released, regardless of who releases them, blackmail is a lot harder to leverage. And the people leveraging it are not the idiots Trump and his quasi reality tv goons are. They’re more than capable of pulling strings, making “suggestions” and planning ahead. Trump isn’t hard to fool nor drive. The biggest difficulty with him is anyone can steer him; keeping him under singular influence is the challenge.

The answer is actually no. Even the ones that remain semi-operational have all been attacked and damaged. They often target the generators and power supplies for said hospitals and clinics.

I still can’t believe they did a military fly over to intimidate these women. I mean I believe it but I don’t believe it.

In his defense BLT is actually a deer caught in headlights.

Just more coordinated demolition in advance of their Gaza Riviera plans. Vile. May the land swallow all their tanks.

Have they asked for your help? No? No. Just blatant overreach and violation of nation’s sovereignty? Maybe check your own cabinet’s noses and pocketbooks before going after other free nations. Just a thought. Edit: fixed angry typos

“Our oil does not belong to the imperialists; it belongs to the people of Libya.” - Muammar Al Gaddafi

Yup, that’ll do it.

I can’t believe they pulled that. I trust absolutely NOTHING they say. All I saw was the official White House page share the moment of people dying in flames and agony. Murdered at sea with a politically charged tagline to appeal to a bunch of rotten racists. I am so disgusted.

How can you possibly enshrine the rights of unbridled capitalism and ensure endless extortion if you let the poors and minorities participate? Think about the profits damn it! How will the share holders survive?!?!!! For the people by the people? Don’t make me anxious. For the markets by the rich white land owning men. * sighs in American relief and comfort *

I mean people ate them so I’d say you know the answer to that…

Fuck Skype. Fuck Microsoft.

A right wing fascist state that’s scared of its own shadow increased activity near a known nuclear facility? Nah, I’m sure it’s for cancer research.

Political outsiders! Isn’t that what the right wanted? Drain the swamp!

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding something somewhere. The original post seems to be saying, “don’t assume just because we support buying European we support Israel/Zionism”.

Movements that lean towards buying local often have a political leaning as well, I know that’s often the case in the US anyway that they lean right-wing (but not always like many union workers who support buying domestically but lean left).

I think the post is, “yeah we support X movement but we also support Y. Don’t assume you’re welcome here with that bullshit.” Which we’re on Lemmy, so it makes perfect sense a “buy local” movement would not support Zionism and modern settler colonialism.

Many companies globally are active participants in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestine either through direct support or partnerships. The BDS Movement exists for a reason.

So you are ok with monetarily contributing to genocide?

Because boycotts are a relevant and powerful tool and part of being a thoughtful consumer is being educated on the ethics of the companies you’re monetarily supporting. That would be my guess anyway.

These seeds — for rare, indigenous, hardy strains of tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, and others collected from local farms in the West Bank and Gaza — weren’t just any seeds. They were living libraries of Palestinian agricultural knowledge, carrying genetic traits for drought resistance, soil adaptation, and nutritional density that commercial varieties lack.

Traditional Palestinian farming practices integrated olive groves with wheat, barley, legumes, and tree crops in polycultures that maximized both biodiversity and resilience. This agricultural system sustained Palestinian communities for millennia while maintaining soil health and water conservation.

Indigenous seed varieties, once lost, cannot be recreated — they represent thousands of years of co-evolution between plants, soil, climate, and human knowledge systems. Their destruction constitutes a temporal amputation — the severing of a community’s ability to reproduce itself across generations.

This breaks my heart. My husband often reminisces on fruits and veggies from home. He’s tried many times to tell me they’re different, that I just don’t understand. I always think of Gaza as just one massive city but they do, or at least did, have a lot of micro farming.

More of his home is being erased forever. Things he will never be able to share with our daughter. He misses home so much but his family always tells him he’s lucky. That he has a memory of Gaza that is gone. And to hold space for that memory. To cherish what once was.

So many neighbors and friends are dead. The roads and streets he once knew gone. His own home, meant as the legacy for his son, turned into tank tracks for Israel. Not a stone is left of a three story building. They demolished it back when they did that raid from the US “aid” pier. Bulldozing it into the massive crater of the neighboring family’s home who Israel murdered all except for one unlucky son who was pulled alive from the rubble. His last memories of his father crouched praying fajr when they were struck. His father, mother, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all dead and gone forever. Left behind as a child in a world full of suffering and starvation.

I’m rambling, but this is just one more added trauma. So many people are dead. People who could have held space for this knowledge outside of a seed bank. I hate Israel targets things like city archives too. Generations of pictures, hereditary files, and documents. Many of which weren’t digitized. And they effectively erased his university. We don’t even know if records were held externally or how that works. He showed me the video of them destroying it and reminisced on his stories from college. Another symbol of his youth just gone.

It’s just one rolling punch after another. Humans aren’t built for a capacity of this level of trauma. Not only are your friends, family and neighbors taken from you but they’re erasing everything you once knew as your reality. His job is to hold space for Gaza that was and it breaks my heart. All I can do is listen to stories of a world that is being erased day by day with no ability or recourse to stop it.
