Afghan was the same way. You look at pictures from pre taliban and there are women in public in dresses and shit.
I've seen it mentioned that this puts Khameini in an awkward position. If his son is the designated successor, how is this different than the Pavlavi regime?
Not the middle east, but since this is the de facto thread for Genocide, I'll throw this in here. Another very serious situation erupting in Rakhine (Arakan) state of Myanmar. No matter who is in charge of that region (regime, regional rebel warlords, etc.), the Rohingyas can't catch a break.
Hey you genocide denying piece of dogshit address this. Or you gonna call the fucking ICC Hamas despite them issueing warrants for their leaders as well you cocksucking loser Illinihockey https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/20/middleeast/icc-israel-hamas-arrest-warrant-war-crimes-intl/index.html Watch that interview too cunt, don't avoid this bitch Exclusive interview: ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants against Sinwar and Netanyahu for war crimes over October 7 and Gaza
One fucking Isreali leader literally called the ICC a "Neo-Nazi outfit". That's all you need to know. All their fucking government leaders need to be rounded the fuck up ASAP
I think it’s pretty damn flimsy. The main thrust is using starvation as a weapon of war. If starvation was rampant in Gaza we’d know about it. We’d be seeing videos and pictures of emaciated people every day but instead we’re seeing the opposite. The fact that bashir al-Assad was never charged by the ICC shows how much of farce the ICC is.
CNN — Egyptian intelligence quietly changed the terms of a ceasefire proposal that Israel had already signed off on earlier this month, ultimately scuttling a deal that could have released Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and set a pathway to temporarily end the fighting in Gaza, according to three people familiar with the discussions. The ceasefire agreement that Hamas ended up announcing on May 6 was not what the Qataris or the Americans believed had been submitted to Hamas for a potential final review, the sources said. The changes made by Egyptian intelligence, the details of which have not been previously reported, led to a wave of anger and recrimination among officials from the US, Qatar and Israel, and left ceasefire talks at an impasse. ….. The three sources familiar with the matter told CNN that a senior Egyptian intelligence official named Ahmed Abdel Khalek was responsible for making the changes. Abdel Khalek is a senior deputy to the Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, who has been Burns’ counterpart in leading Egypt’s mediation in the ceasefire talks. One source familiar with the negotiations said Abdel Khalek told the Israelis one thing and Hamas another. More of Hamas’ demands were inserted into the original framework that Israel had tacitly agreed to in order to secure Hamas’ approval, the source said. But the other mediators were not informed; nor, critically, were the Israelis. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/21/...d-by-egypt-changing-ceasefire-terms-for-hamas
Ireland, Norway, and Spain jointly announce recognition of the separate state of Palestine. Israel recalled its ambassadors to those countries. Seems like a big step.
Gee I wonder why we don’t get reliable photo and video of Israel’s war crimes. Couldn’t have anything to do with them killing journalists and seizing press equipment and shutting down the lone media in the country willing to call them out. Nah it must be the the ICC being a farce. Seriously why do yall continue to let this dude post here. He’s said shit worse than what got some of the shitpit banned.
*unnamed "senior US official" **Times of Israel (Likud mouthpiece) Anything like this tweet should be distrusted immediately. Egypt could be pulling some bullshit at the Rafah crossing -- Egypt is an authoritarian country with an incredibly corrupt, illegitimate government and an army with a long history of terrible human rights abuses... but that doesn't mean they're the ones blocking aid, when there's stacks of evidence showing Israelis blocking aid (and every aid group I've seen primarily blames the Israelis).
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/23/us-postwar-gaza-00159723 This is pure, insane, folly. Our "plan" -- after (or maybe while?) Israel is finished killing as many people as possible and stealing whatever land and resources they can from the strip, is to have UAE (lol), Moroccan (lol) and Egyptian (lol) soldiers police the strip, under US authority. Insane. Hamas (or something more dangerous), will still be around, of course, because (presuming Israel doesn't nuke the strip or drive everyone into the desert to starve to death) it's not like there aren't going to be tens of thousands of young men willing to die for the cause now that you've killed and starved half of their families, destroyed their homes, levelled their mosques (and churches) and schools, and left them jobless. Put yourself in their shoes for a second. What would you do if you lived through pure terror for 9+ months - day and night bombings, drones constantly overhead that can kill you if they want, the smell of death and shit around you, your parents, siblings, children dead or maimed? I know what I'd do -- I'd want revenge. But yeah, hey, let's rent out the Moroccan Army for a few years? lol. Great plan, guys.
who else burned books to rewrite history and stifle free thought... I cant think of the name of that group.
a multinational Arab peacekeeping force backing a newly formed Palestinian government seems to be a solid idea and preferable to the alternatives.
"Can you please resume the aid trucks so the rest of the world gets off their backs about bombing children. Yeah I know the IDF tips off settlers so they can raid them and continue this genocide. But think of the optics if we do nothing."
For those reading this as snark, its not. The israeli government is famously awful to holocaust survivors and there is a pretty big social sentiment that survivors are leeches or weak
BudKilmer following up other other thread I think dude is very informative but not mentioning Battle of Al Qusayr was malpractice. It was massively significant since it was essentially on the border with Lebanon and where Hezbollah got very involved, years before direct involvement from Russia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qusayr_offensive.
Yeah I think Contemporary things he’s trying to get so much out about China / Taiwan, Ukraine, Syria, etc, he misses nuance and detail. I like most of his historical stuff. A more static target for him
Can't find it now and there's a ton of info out now but first saw him on a video about the Kursk submarine. Different video but yeah ugghhhhh absolutely brutal and should've been the first sign Putin isn't some genius or cares about anyone but himself.
So cool for Israel to kill a bunch of women and kids again and justifying it by saying they supposedly killed 2 Hamas officials in the same attack. Rest of the world is condemning it while the US goes “sucks for those kids but hey they got two Hamas leaders too. 43 innocents killed for 2 militants is a good ratio.”
Rs have been so successful at driving the word 'Israel' into Magas/evangelicals minds over the last 30 years. loisgriffin-9-11.gif
