It seems pretty obvious that the investigations are politically motivated. On the other hand if he committed a crime that other people are also regularly charged with and prosecuted for, then fuck it, prosecute him. No one is above the law.
I saw a documentary on stuff like that. Happens regularly in some parts of Asia.
One example is a specific drink from a fruit, that can carry that virus. The only reason for that: bats liking those juicy water nuts as well and are on them, before harvesting. Wasn’t India I think… but yeah.
According to the article it wouldn't have been much of a punishment.
"Thousands of bodies have been excavated, almost all flaunting rich bronze ornaments, typically worn by only the wealthiest," Reschreiter said. "The remains bore the marks of hard physical labour from childhood, while also showing signs of unequalled prosperity."
War has changed. Drones, internet and new MANPADS have eroded Israel’s technological supremacy as shown in Ukraine vs Russia. Now it is more risky for Israel to go against their enemies. Already there’s footage of the vaunted Merkava tank blown to pieces. Also, this was the perfect storm:
The US is preoccupied with political infigthing (thanks, Republitards!)
The Israeli government was busy oppressing it’s own Jewish people because they drunk too much rightwing koolaid (thanks, Trumpettes!)
Item no. 2 made Israel lose a lot of support from the West.
Technological weapons breakthroughs in Ukraine (thanks, Putin!)
They made their bed, and now they have to sleep in it. The balance of power has shifted. I forsee Israel using nukes in the next 5 to 10 years out of desperation but it will backfire spectacularly.
Reading books by CIA folks over the years, Mossad has benefitted from Arabs that feel this violence isn’t reasonable, and provide intel to help stop raids. I can guess that Iran has helped with signal intel over time to determine who’s calling in tips, and left those people in place while cutting them out of the loop on this attack. Probably Mossad was getting false traffic from normal moles while all this was planned.
Sadly there’s not a good end for those informers post attack, they served their role to keep Mossad complacent, and likely died just after the strike.
All conjecture (I have no intel sources on this), but bad for Mossad if true. This would leave them back to square one on human intel if it happened.
I think what we believe to be genocide is actually a byproduct of Zionism. They’d kill whomever was living on that land, but since they’re Muslim it’s easier to justify and looks like genocide.
Ok, but that’s never gonna happen. Never touched Chrome and never will. It’s idiotic to hand control to Google, we saw how that went with Microsoft. And now we see the exact same shenanigans Microsoft used in the 90’s used by Google.
Check out Fantastic Fungi as well. I believe they touched on this subject too. Not to mention, the camera work was phenomenal. (I got to see some of the early time lapse footage as my brother contributed to that film.)
The way fungi has developed over the last 650 million years is crazy and it’s super interesting. It is, by far, one of the most resilient forms of life on earth. Also, even though there has been a lot of research, we are only starting to scratch the surface about the importance of fungi in our daily lives.
While I started growing magic mushrooms for fun, I have started digging deeper into mycology in its entirety and it is a super fascinating subject.
Do a broad search on Lemmy (or scour my profile) for most of the budding mycology communities if you are interested. They are slow for now, but there are plenty of lurkers that will answer questions or chat if prompted.
