I’ve been seeing the opposite, at least in my circles.

On Saturday and Sunday, I really only saw support for Israel and a condemnation of Hamas except for on this website.

The combination of Israel resuming bombing Gaza, the report that Netanyahu had warning this was coming, and the blockade seemed to have reminded people of the need for Palestinian liberation.

Even the most pro-Israel people I know (in person) are lamenting that innocent Palestinians, especially children, are going to bear the brunt of the response and feel that Netanyahu provoked this.

I’m on board with this except instead of reusable glass bottles that need to be transported around, you’re responsible for your own reusable bottle/mug/thermos and you can only get beverages from a soda fountain.

My school had security guards but they weren’t police officers. They were actually very nice and liked by everyone.

One of them got suspended because he tackled a man who had a gun through a window (on the ground floor) and we all thought that was bullshit.

I agree that Israel is the one who has the power to stop the war and genocide.

I do not agree that rape is self defense nor is it necessary for revolution. Are you planning on raping the capitalists if we see a revolution in our lifetime? If not, then I’m sure you can understand that it’s possible not to.

I am going to disengage from this conversation.

That’s fair. Although in terms of sexual violence, I think there is less footage to show of Israeli perpetrators because it most frequently happens inside prisons and recording is not beneficial to Israel.

In general, I try not to comment on the Israeli occupation because I was propagandized from a very young age to be pro Israel and am still in the process of deprogamming. Even in this comment, I initially wrote the Isreali-Palestinian conflict before changing my language to Israeli occupation. So I appreciate you bringing a perspective that I overlooked.

I just don’t want us to hand wave sexual violence as “just a part of war.” To me, that’s the same argument as people saying communism sounds nice on paper, but human nature is greed and capitalism.

This is more of a why are men scenario, not why are Palestinians.

EDIT: Just want to clarify, when I say it mostly happens in prisons, I don’t mean that Israelis aren’t assaulting civilians. They arrest anyone they want, call them a terrorist, and do despicable things behind closed doors.

I don’t mean the content of disinformation is new, but the technology.

There is proof that these videos exist, but I don’t know if there’s proof that they’re legitimate.

I find it unlikely that a video was faked with a naked woman’s body showing distinct tattoos and hair of a woman known to be in Israel at the time. But in general, I am not qualified to determine the legitimacy of videos and photos, and I will be more cautious in just repeating what other people have said.

I admit I haven’t watched any of the videos so I am going off of how people have described them.

My husband has been watching the videos, he said they were parading around a German tourist’s naked dead body.

And I’ve read in multiple places of a woman being thrown in a jeep with blood in the back of her pants.

I’m have been taking these at face value, but thank you for the reminder that we live in a new age of disinformation. I hope that the videos are fake.

EDIT: This Daily Mail article has screenshots of the two videos I referenced although the most graphic one is blurred. Not a reliable source, but evidence that these videos do exist and more legit news organizations are still doing more due diligence to verify their authenticity.

I think it is unlikely that a video was faked that happens to have the distinctive tattoos and hairstyle of a woman who was known to be in Israel at the time.

I’m trying to be very careful in how I say this, and I’m not trying to be a debate bro.

I find it triggering to say ALL violence is self-defense. There is no defense for sexual violence.

I can understand killing oppressors and even kidnapping families to gain leverage, but there is no situation that calls for rape and no excuse for it.

I understand that members of the IDF and US military are guilty of this too, and they deserve death.

I understand that you didn’t want to have a bunch of caveats in a blanket statement. I also know this is nothing unique to this conflict and happens in every war, I just think that’s the one area where our support can be critical.

I don’t know if Israel has been around long enough to be inherited by fail-sons, but this seems inevitable in capitalist societies.

I think this is because it’s more expensive and takes longer to build and maintain a desktop website, mobile website, and app.

If you design everything to work on mobile, you can reuse it as the desktop site. You can most likely reuse assets in the app as well.

Also, people are using their phones a lot more frequently than desktop/laptop, so mobile experience gets prioritized.

$900/month isn’t even cheap for not having your own room.

Federal minimum wage is $1160 a month before taxes (assuming 40 hours a week, which is also pretty unlikely for minimum wage jobs).

I know this is San Fran, and CA minimum wage is bumping up to $16/hr in January, so it’s really only 35% of your gross income for worse accommodations than a college dorm.

That’s so 2000 and late, where’s the AI?
