- They’re ineffectual, weak, and don’t do anything, and have failed their mission.
- They are so effective and strong, that they need to leave so the IDF is safe.
Pick one.
They’re literally hunkered down inside bunkers in their bases - which are well documented, flying UN flags, and painted peacekeeper white. The only place they’re “standing in the way” is in your propaganda. And now they’re “human shields” for Hezbollah, which if history is repeated, means they’re days/weeks away from direct Israeli bombing.
When you shoot at UN peacekeepers, you’re almost always the bad guy.
I can’t find it now, but I’d swear to having read an anecdote from someone working with radiation who reported tingling teeth during exposure.
It definitely does a lot of nasty things to the body.
The fact that you’re defending what is parallel to thoughtcrime is wild
1)A person commits an offence if— (a)he collects or makes a record of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism
What is boundary of ‘useful for terrorism’ exactly? Viewing a Google street view of say the GCHQ building? Planewatchers taking photos near the tarmac? Amateur OSINT activities that require things like UXO, radar, or aircraft identification? Putting a video of your SO leaving for deployment on Facebook?
Adding the ‘reasonable excuse’ clause is a paltry fig leaf that just kicks the determination of criminality to the whims of a magistrate or CPS. We’ve seen weak terrorism charges used to stifle legitimate protest, even before the latest protest laws.
“Mother, why do all my teeth feel itchy?”
Yeahhhh this one seems fishy. Unlike the “Handala Hacks” group (seemingly 100% an Iranian state affair) who basically doxxed Israeli citizens and security industry heads, where’s the play in this?
- No ransomware attempt, just DDoS and data grab
- Email and handles compromised, not major info like bank details or SSNs
- VERY publicly pro-Palestine/Palestinian, makes zero mention of occupation, apartheid, civilian suffering, etc
- Tortured ‘link’ between a non-profit .org and the US:Israel alliance as justification
Psyops gonna psyop
If the management is so shook about financial stability, it’s time to act like the adults they pretend they are, and curb executive pay and buybacks:
-
President and Chief Executive Officer David L. Calhoun - $32,770,519
-
CEO of Commercial Airplanes, Stanley A. Deal - $12,200,851
-
Chief Financial Officer Brian J. West - $11,910,638
-
CEO of Global Services Stephanie F. Pope - $9,537,503
-
CEO of Defense, Space & Security Theodore Colbert III - $8,963,171
In each case, easily 75% of their pay package is from stock options - their loyalty is to the line going up, not steady and organic growth by restoring a solid foundation to the company and investing in their (little) people.
Especially so in parallel with the $68 billion in stock buyback Boeing leadership has done since 2010. All done to boost stock price by reducing the float - $68 billion that wasn’t spent investing in the company’s future, safety standards, quality controls, the end product, or workforce.
Maybe stop sending them billions in weapons then, eh?
I see at least three actions in that statement:
- Stop giving them billions in free weapons
- Stop giving them any weapons
- Stop them
#1 should have happened a long time ago imo, if not used as a leverage to prevent an Israeli ground invasion of Rafah, the West Bank, Lebanon, striking enrichment at Natanz. “Free bombs for crimes against humanity” is a bad moral play, bad politics, and bad diplomacy outside the US:Israel sphere.
#2 Is politically hard normally, impossible in an election cycle. I hate it, but here we are in the house we built. Make FEC the only campaign funds - it’s OUR government, not the highest bidder’s.
#3 The US’s geopolitical track record shows that we’ll tolerate some awful, terrible people if they’ll get ‘on our side’ even if there’s a trend of massive and foreseeable blowback, the diplomatic corps don’t learn lessons.
