This headline is ridiculous. The US is currently cracking down on the people who harvest US tomatoes and sending them to a swamp concentration camp with no representation and due process, and publicly hoping people get eaten by alligators.

@ai6yr

meanwhile California's tomato harvest rots bc they've raided the fields....

I feel like screaming

@cynthiarose @ai6yr

I kind of wonder if the Trump regime is taking lessons from Netanyahu about how to starve a population.

(It is slightly more correct to refer to both governments by using the same type of name)

@alienghic Could be. Yahu would starve Israelis, if it fed into his fantasy. @cynthiarose @ai6yr
@Tooden @alienghic @cynthiarose@sfba.social @ai6yr you're right that Netanyahu would kill Israeli citizens to keep himself in power, he already ordered the military to shoot to kill Israeli hostages
@vaurora And we don't really know how many Israelis were killed by IDF on Oct 7, when they were fleeing the Hamas attack. Anyone is expendable to the coward. @alienghic @ai6yr
@Tooden @vaurora @alienghic @ai6yr https://www.mako.co.il/pzm-soldiers/Article-199bdbb03215b81026.htm Boy do I have some ugly footage for you here. Footage from an Israeli gunner at the rave says a massive number of those civilians killed were killed by "friendly" fire. They just shot at everything running or trying to get in a car and drive on the ground. Basically it's on camera that at least anyone trying to leave that made it into that gunner's sights was exterminated. Hannibal directive stuff. The Palestinians maintained that the objective of the mission had been a military command target (related to the plans to cleanse and seize the strip, already underway) and a hostage taking operation (to get negotiating leverage). It wasn't in their interest to kill the civilians and they said they weren't actually expecting to encounter a rave (ref. all Hamas statements in the weeks following the attack) which fubar'd their whole operation.
טייסים מודים: "כשלנו בלהגן, מרגישים רע מאוד"

הם אמנם התעשתו מהר וזינקו לעוטף עזה, אבל מבינים היטב שלמרות שלחמו בגבורה, במבחן התוצאה כולם נכשלו במשימתם. וגם: הניסיון שכשל להחליף מסוקים בכטב"מים

@somebody I did read a lot of accounts to that effect. The baby-killing was 'propaganda' to get the world riled up, and that the body toll was also greatly exaggerated.
I simply cannot believe anything that comes out of the murderous zionists' mouths. They are liars. @vaurora @alienghic @ai6yr

@Tooden @somebody

It's one reason I try to quote the UN, as I think they're relatively impartially especially when compared to Israel and the US.
