‘The political desperadoes and ignoramuses, who say they would “Rather be Dead than Red”, should be told that no one will stop them from committing suicide, but they have no right to provoke a third world war.’ — Morris Kominsky, 1970

Trump said [that] the U.S. still has nuclear talks planned with Iran on Sunday, but that he is not sure if they will still take place. He said [that] it was not too late for Iran to make a deal.
“I tried to save Iran humiliation and death,” Trump said.
He said [that] he is not concerned about a regional war breaking out as a result of Israel’s strikes.

Do you have any idea if those are real or not? Given how self-incriminating those would be, I find it odd that Hamas would upload those videos.

Fair’s fair.

Anarcho-Bolshevik@lemmygrad.mlto Late Stage Capitalism@lemmygrad.ml•issue with AIEnglish17·2 months agoThat’s a good point, Joanna Maciejewska, but I don’t see what laundry and dishes have to do with white genocide in South Africa. Claims of targeted violence exist with “Kill the Boer” cited as racial. However, evidence suggests that farm attacks are part of general crime, not systematic genocide, though perspectives vary.

Anarcho-Bolshevik@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Israel's antisemitism conference draws Europe's far-right leaders to JerusalemEnglish3·4 months ago“Antisemitism is a disease carried by barbarians” in “all civilized societies,” said Netanyahu.
‘All civilized societies’ except for the ‘State of Israel’, I presume?
As much as I loathe antisemitism, the harsh truth is that it can manifest in formal ways as well as informal ones. Kevin B. MacDonald is a good example, and pro-Axis intellectuals like David Irving are almost notorious for frustrating Shoah survivors with difficult questions. Intellectual antisemitism is still bullshit of course, but it is a problem that has to be acknowledged; dealing with it is not as easy as it sounds.
I know that this is not the most obvious issue with this conference, but it is an omission that too many overlook when Herzlians pretend to care about antisemitism. Acknowledging the complexities of a problem is a good indication that you take it seriously, which settlers like Netanyahu certainly don’t.

Anarcho-Bolshevik@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Greta Thunberg labeled 'antisemite of the week' amid anti-Israel activityEnglish2·10 months agoAmong the atrocities committed by the Portuguese, it is possible to list the massacres in Xinavane, Mueda, Mucumbura, Wiriyamu, Chawole, Inhaminga, among others. University of Coimbra’s Documentation Center “25 de Abril” has a rich collection about what happened in Wiriyamu, with a hundred articles and newspaper clippings from the most diverse countries that participated in spreading information about the acts of the Portuguese in the region. On Saturday, December 16, 1972, Portuguese soldiers killed approximately 400 Mozambicans in Wiriyamu. Today, in the old village of Wiriyamu, there is a monument with the bones of the victims.
Furthermore, there is evidence published by Le Monde Diplomatique (1972) that two South African pilots were hired as mercenaries by Portugal, and carried out secret chemical warfare missions against nationalist fighters in northern Mozambique. The operation was aimed at destroying the crops that would feed FRELIMO guerrillas, using the substance 2,4‐D, Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, which was among those used by the U.S. in Vietnam and World War II.

As a complement to the concentrationary policy of interning the African populations in large villages, the military hierarchy would use, from 1971 onward, the desperate option of “cleanup” operations, already largely implemented in Northeast Mozambique and on the eastern shore of Lake Malawi. These were meant to eradicate villages, exterminating all their inhabitants and emptying the territory to block the path of the guerrillas.
By the end of 1972 the “cleanup” operations along the Zambezi, from Mucanha and Mucumbura to Inhaminga, started to prefigure a wider genocidal strategy. […] Soon […] the 6th Commando Group arrived in helicopters, surrounded Wiriyamu and entered it. The people were lined up, men in one group, women in another. For the most part they were then shot, but others were herded into houses which were set on fire, while some of the children were kicked to death and other individuals were murdered in various atrocious ways. […] At the same time, the rural areas were bombed, eventually with napalm, before the launching of “cleanup” operations to exterminate the remaining populations, supposedly in contact with the guerrillas.
And the Estado Novo’s colonies were all in Afrasia (not merely Africa as such).
It really bums me out seeing somebody deny that the Iberian parafascists engaged in white supremacist violence. I am guessing that that is a product of the Portuguese education system rather than a conscious distortion, but still it really depresses me. It’s like nobody cares that the Iberian parafascists massacred Afrasians.

Hamas was obviously using them as human shields. Get with the programme.
