Maybe we should tell the IDF that climate change is Hamas.

I’m extremely committed to this bit.

zerfuffle ,

The Eurozone was fucked the minute it lost access to cheap energy.

Energy independence should be a core element of national policy, but no. Germany had to shift to natural gas because burning methane releases half the emissions of coal.

Methane leakage from natural gas? Obviously not an issue, despite methane being 85x more potent a GHG than CO2 over a 20-year period and average methane leakage estimated to be between 1.4% and 9.5%. I hope I don’t have to spell out what that means for global emissions targets: even on the low end of estimates, natural gas is worse over a 20-year period than coal.

zerfuffle ,

Germans are all Hamas jfc keep up here

zerfuffle ,

The IDF just found another journalistHamas in Lebanon.

zerfuffle ,

I think these new IDF strikes are the furthest from the border in a while. Most of the skirmishes have been happening literally on the border (as you quote), not a few kilometers away from it.

zerfuffle ,

No reason for escalation, though. You’d think the IDF would want to keep the issue on the northern border contained as they commit so many forces to Gaza.

zerfuffle ,

To provoke a war on multiple fronts?

Brilliant strategy.

zerfuffle ,

UN aid worker

zerfuffle ,

Everyone knows that “Press” looks a lot like “Hamas” to the IDF target acquisition system. You need to forgive them.

And “Lebanon” looks a lot like “Occupied Israel.”

zerfuffle ,

It would be a bit more tractable if the US didn’t keep throwing billions of dollars at Israel and Netanyahu in particular.

zerfuffle ,

Have you considered that hibakusha might secretly be Hamas?

zerfuffle ,

Everyone knows that all children are just soon-to-be Hamas. This is just a preventative strike to deprive Hamas of more terrorists.

zerfuffle ,

Those Israelis? Turns out, Hamas.

zerfuffle ,

As we know, journalists are all Hamas.

zerfuffle ,

More evidence for this? Thanks!

zerfuffle ,

Hamas’ public statement is that the hostages they took were intended to be used to trade for Palestinian hostages held by Israel.

So… Well, yeah lol.

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund: Israel Is Threatening to Bomb Gaza’s Only Pediatric Cancer Unit --- [video, 33 min + transcript] (www.democracynow.org)

As the U.N. secretary-general repeats his call for an immediate ceasefire, the death toll in Gaza has topped 10,000, including 4,000 children. We speak to an American doctor who just left Gaza and the founder of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which runs the only pediatric cancer unit in Gaza....

zerfuffle ,

Have you considered that those children might be Hamas?

zerfuffle ,

Germans are Hamas too, obviously.

zerfuffle ,

It’s a fundamentally different problem here: it’s new infrastructure, which in this day and age is barely profitable in terms of first-order effects (fees, fares, etc.) but is significantly profitable in terms of second- and third-order effects (economic growth, new businesses, yada yada).

If you could build a new subway in New York, spend zero capital, but have to give up the fare revenue for that subway, why wouldn’t you?

Also, the India/US alternative is to… Just outright give the Indian Adani group a majority stake in their port expansion. So much better. So much. Truly.

zerfuffle ,

Yeah, so turns out that if you keep oppressing people and murdering their families you start spawning extremists.

zerfuffle ,

That’s because all the other oil rich middle east nations are either America’s removed or the Soviet Union’s removed.

zerfuffle ,

Remove for antisemitism pls mods

zerfuffle ,

Is it only brutal because Hamas can’t hide behind “oh it was just a bomb oopsie how did it strike a civilian?”

zerfuffle ,

The IDF has a long track record of lying and manufacturing evidence. What’s another lie?

zerfuffle ,

This is just plain fake news. Iran got their $6b frozen despite complying with all US demands.

zerfuffle ,

Turns out that when you support genocide, people aren’t too happy with you.

zerfuffle ,

You’d think Americans would be more sympathetic for people fighting for liberty…

zerfuffle ,

My bad

zerfuffle ,

Turns out that when you start murdering people’s families indiscriminately, you start to spawn extremists.

zerfuffle ,

Oh no! Not the dead soldiers!

Haaretz published a list of confirmed dead and a majority of the names on that list are either IDF or ex-IDF. Israeli state media has covered how, in places like Be’eri, IDF forces fired tank shells at Israeli civilians hiding in buildings.

Oh, sorry, you meant Hamas, which as a matter of principle prefers to take hostages for more negotiating power.

zerfuffle ,

Jesus Christ just post in the megathread

zerfuffle ,

Is this going to be like how they “found” Shani Touk by finding a trace bone fragment with DNA on it?

That is, the same trace bone fragment that she would have lost in the initial injury?

zerfuffle ,

Yes but they’re brown people and thus not really people

/s

zerfuffle ,

At the end of the day, infrastructure is an incredibly powerful driver of economic growth. Second and third order effects make infrastructure investments almost always worthwhile, even when they go drastically overbudget as is the case with HS2 and CAHSR.

A government makes money not only from the direct impacts (fares, electricity cost, etc.) but also the secondary impacts to industry and the tertiary impacts of stable supply driving new markets.

zerfuffle ,

Yes but have you considered China bad?

zerfuffle ,

Last I checked, China’s been developing every energy source known to man (except O&G, because they don’t have a domestic supply of O&G except in the contested waters of the SCS)…

China is the world leader in new nuclear development, new hydro development, solar panel manufacturing, wind turbine manufacturing, solar panel deployment, wind turbine deployment, electric vehicles, and carbon capture+storage.

Maybe if other economies would help pick up the slack? China’s been firing on all cylinders towards green tech for decades, but it turns out that urbanizing and industrializing 1 billion people to a Western standard of living is really fucking energy-intensive. Meanwhile, everyone else is just sitting on their ass and watching.

zerfuffle ,

Have you considered that the journalist might have been Hamas?

Just like that Reuters journalist that was killed. Just like that Al Jazeera journalist that was killed.

Odd. A lot of journalists are being killed. Maybe they’re all Hamas?

zerfuffle ,

“let’s blame Hamas for the recession because we sure as hell can’t blame Russia for it”

zerfuffle ,

That journalist? Obviously Hamas.

Just like Reuters and BBC. Clear Hamas.

zerfuffle ,

Anyone who thinks this is a bad thing needs to strongly reconsider their values.

zerfuffle ,

Those Israelis must all be Hamas.

zerfuffle ,

Israel really isn’t doing themselves any favours by partnering with Azerbaijan, which literally just did some good old fashioned ethnic cleansing.

zerfuffle ,

That bread? Surprisingly, contains Hamas.

zerfuffle ,

Is there a spectrum of genocides? One is “temporarily lock up a decent percentage of this race” and one is “eradicate and/or displace all people of this race with bombs and guns”

How international law applies to war, and why Hamas and Israel are both alleged to have broken it (english.elpais.com)

The United Nations says it is collecting evidence of war crimes by both sides in the Israel-Hamas war, which began with the militant group’s brutal Oct. 7 cross-border attack and was followed by Israel’s relentless bombardment and a siege of Gaza.

zerfuffle ,

International law doesn’t work too well when basically everyone ignores it.

Russia? Yep. The US? Yep. Ukraine? Yep. Israel? Yep. Palestine? Yep. China? Yep. Vietnam? Yep. Taiwan? Yep.

People are too attached to their profits and global trade to do anything.

Doctor at a Gaza hospital pleads for help: "We had to perform a premature delivery from a mother’s womb while she was dying.” --- [video, 2 min] (www.unfpa.org)

Dr. Nasser Bulbul, Head of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, spoke to the UN about the extreme suffering of pregnant women and orphaned infants living in a state of fear and terror as the bombardment intensifies.

zerfuffle ,

The baby could have been Hamas, though, so clearly it’s justified.

UN condemns Israel: 'It’s the innocent civilians who are losing’ (news.un.org)

UN human rights office (OHCHR) spokesperson Liz Throssell highlighted concerns over Israeli airstrikes on Jabalia and Al Bureij refugee camps in recent days with dozens of residential buildings destroyed, as well as the high number of casualties reported in the enclave and the “reported use of explosive weapons with wide area...

zerfuffle ,

I guess the UNHRC is also Hamas, huh?
