  • Israel War Cabinet member Benny Gantz files motion to dissolve parliament
  • Toldry Toldry Now 100%

    Right before October 7th, Israel was in the midst of a huge political upheaval because of the looming judicial overhaul. Gantz was the leader of the opposition, and the main political rival of Netanyahu. The country was extremely divided, almost verging on civil war.

    Right after October 7th, Israelis were focused on unity, survival, and combatting Hamas, Hezbollah, and other threats.

    Gantz joined the war cabinet mostly to signal that whatever disagreements he and his party have with Netanyahu [of which there are many], he still prioritizes national unity in the face of existential threat.

    This unity was fragile, and by now the political infighting in Israel is back in full swing.

    My friend, I will give you the benefit of doubt and believe you when you say that this post's purpose was to make fun of how shitty Twitter's community notes are, and that is indeed an important topic to shed light on, so people won't treat community notes as reliable.

    However,

    You can rest assured that a significant portion of the people who saw this post believed it as straight fact.

    It is impossible to overstate how gullible people on the internet are, and how readily they will straight up believe conspiratorial BS, especially surrounding controversial topics like Israel.

    That's how Poe's law works, and it is attitudes like yours that don't take this shit seriously that end up inadvertently contributing to an environment full of libelous antisemitic conspiracies on the internet.

    I beseech you to carefully consider this stuff if you ever plan to post such a thing again.

  • Ukraine backers blast ‘double standard’ after allies rush to Israel’s defense

    It's worth supplementing this with his earlier statement from 2 days ago:

    “Ukraine condemns Iran’s attack on Israel using ‘Shahed’ drones and missiles. We in Ukraine know very well the horror of similar attacks by Russia, which uses the same ‘Shahed’ drones and Russian missiles, the same tactics of mass air strikes,”

    “It is critical that the United States Congress make the necessary decisions to strengthen America’s allies at this critical time,” he says.

    Another part of the answer is geographical. Jordan helped Israel intercept because their airspace is between Iran and Israel.

    The distance between Russia and Ukraine is far shorter.

  • Ukraine backers blast ‘double standard’ after allies rush to Israel’s defense
  • Toldry Toldry Now 100%

    Zelensky's tweet full text:

    The entire world witnessed allied action in the skies above Israel and neighboring countries. It demonstrated how truly effective unity in defending against terror can be when it is based on sufficient political will.

    Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Jordan acted together and with maximum efficiency.

    Together, they prevented terror from prevailing. And they are working together, and in coordination with others, to prevent further escalation.

    Israel is not a NATO member, so no action, such as triggering Article 5, was required. And no one was dragged into the war. They simply contributed to the protection of human life.

    "Shaheds" in the skies above Ukraine sound identical to those over the Middle East. The impact of ballistic missiles, if they are not intercepted, is the same everywhere.

    European skies could have received the same level of protection long ago if Ukraine had received similar full support from its partners in intercepting drones and missiles. Terror must be defeated completely and everywhere, not more in some places and less in others.

    I thank everyone in the world, every leader and state, who truly assists us with air defense and missiles necessary to protect our skies, as well as training our pilots on F-16s. All of this already works and will continue to work to save lives.

    However, we can now see how unity can work truly a hundred percent, and how almost a hundred percent of “Shaheds” and missiles can be intercepted. We will discuss it with our partners.

    It has a major flaw: it works from anywhere so long as the phone is unlocked.

    I wish there was an option to set it that payments work only when I open the wallet app.

    To avoid accidentaly triggering a payment, what I do now is manually turn NFC off after every payment

    I'm on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try. I've never used *nix as my personal OS. Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie? I'm a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be: - programming - study - browsing lemmy - gaming

    I used to use thepiratebay.org, but recently it seems the quality of the site has degraded. I sometimes also use 1337xx.to , but that site seems to have a very small selection. Note that I couldn't find an answer to this question in the [wiki + meathread](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/10901), so if the answer is already there, please direct my attention to it 🙏🏴‍☠️

    Link to The Onion article: https://www.theonion.com/restaurant-hired-fake-priest-to-extract-confessions-fro-1850575819 Link to Ground's coverage of this story: https://ground.news/article/a-restaurant-must-pay-workers-140-000-after-allegedly-hiring-a-fake-priest-to-extract-confessions-of-workers-sins_52c84b I find it both hilarious and impressive that they bother including a satire news source in their aggregator. I also like that they clearly mark it as [SATIRE] everywhere possible.
