  • No, when asked about specific policies the majority of people still support progressive policies. How the poll questions are worded are incredibly important to how people respond

    Not to mention the morality side of it

  • Regardless, it doesn't justify throwing Molotov cocktails at them. That dude was clearly unwell and was lashing out in a completely unacceptable way

    That said, the adminstration and legacy media will absolutely weaponize this incident to justify further crackdowns on 1st amendment free speech, on fascist deportations, and criminalizing of pro-palestinian voices

    Of course, the main root cause of this kind of escalation of violence is Israel's live streamed genocide, and frustration from lack of any tangible change surely plays a large role here. Liberal Zionist media is already blaming it instead on the reporting of the genocide itself, instead of the actual genocide.

  • Did you really just make that claim without going though the actual reporting? That's absolutely disgusting. Even the majority of children detained and held in these torture prisons experience sexual assault.

    They spoke with B’Tselem after they were released from detention, the overwhelming majority of them without being tried. Their testimonies uncover a systemic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners. This includes frequent acts of severe, arbitrary violence; sexual assault; humiliation and degradation; deliberate starvation; forced unhygienic conditions; sleep deprivation; prohibition on, and punitive measures for, religious worship; confiscation of all communal and personal belongings; and denial of adequate medical treatment.

    Various testimonies revealed repeated use of sexual violence, in varying degrees of severity, by soldiers or prison guards against Palestinian detainees as an additional punitive measure. The witnesses described blows to the genitals and other body parts of naked prisoners; the use of metal tools and batons to cause genital pain;the photographing of naked prisoners; penises being grabbed; and strip-searches for the sake of humiliation and degradation. The testimonies also reveal cases of gang sexual violence and assault committed by a group of prison guards or soldiers. One particularly grave testimony, quoted at length below, reports the attempted anal rape of a Palestinian detainee by several prison guards. Similar incidents were mentioned in other testimonies.

    In addition to being crimes against humanity and full-fledged war crimes, the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation army and other Israeli security forces against Palestinian prisoners and detainees from the Gaza Strip also amount to acts of genocide against the Palestinian people in the Strip, because they are carried out in a systematic and brutal manner. These acts include the killing of Palestinians and the infliction of severe physical and psychological harm, including torture, other forms of ill-treatment, and sexual violence, including rape, and are carried out with the goal of eradicating the Palestinian people as a whole.

    The video of the alleged gang rape at Sde Teiman is the latest piece in a growing body of evidence of abuse, sexual assault and the systematic withholding of food and medical care that Palestinians endure within the Israeli prison system

    “The conditions at Sde Teiman aren’t unique. They’re just the tip of the iceberg,” the organisation’s spokesperson, Shai Parnes, told Al Jazeera by phone from Jerusalem

    "We heard similar accounts of sexual abuse, starvation and assault from separate prisoners held in 16 different locations across Israel. It was depressing. As we gathered the testimonies, we realised that every witness account was almost identical, no matter what their age, gender or location was. There’s no doubt. This kind of abuse is systematic,” he said

    On June 27, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that the Israeli army’s use of police dogs to attack Palestinian civilians during its military operations in the Gaza Strip, in addition to their use to terrorize, maul and rape prisoners and detainees in Israeli detention centers, is “a systematic and widely practiced behavior"

    Save the Children’s new consultation showed that:

    During arrest, 42% of children were injured, including gunshot wounds and broken bones, and 65% of children were arrested during the night, mostly between midnight and dawn. Half of all arrests took place in the children’s home.

    The majority of children experienced appalling levels of physical and emotional abuse, including being beaten (86%), being threatened with harm (70%), and hit with sticks or guns (60%).

    Some children reported violence and abuse of a sexual nature, including being hit or touched on the genitals and 69% reported being strip searched.

    60% of children experienced solitary confinement with the length of time varying from one 1 day to as long as 48 days.

    Children were denied access to basic services, 70% said they suffered from hunger and 68% said they didn’t receive any healthcare.

  • With this 'deal' Israel would no doubt continue it's genocidal campaign after 7 days once the hostages are out. And once they are, they would certainly ramp it up even more than the current death and starvation campaign is

  • There are others, but I'd say these are the top in terms of credibility, investigative journalism, and reliability

    That said, it's still best practice to cross verify reporting

    Edit: adding Counter Punch

  • Tucker Carlson fundamentally considers white people superior to non-white people. His grievance is that the fascism is being overseas when the US can instead use those resources to do so against the non-whites within America. Tucker is conservative on social issues because he is a supremacist for the white Christian race. He's a domestic fascist, enthusiastic about mass deportations in the US.

    This is completely separate from anti-colonialist resistance groups, who's conservatism is a reaction to colonialism. These groups, while fundamentalist, are not fascist. ISIS would be an example of a fundamentalist and fascist group.

    There is no ally-ship with fascists of any variety

    Carlson is critical of Islam and has hosted guests on his program that criticize Islam.[433][434] He has described the existence of an "Islamic cult" and an "Islamic problem", describing it as a threat to the United States.[433] He was critical of the Obama administration's terrorism policy, arguing that it should have considered Islam as a cause of terrorism.

    In 2018, Carlson described the effects of mass immigration on the United States using the terms dirtier, poorer, and more divided[435][436] and said it "has badly hurt this country's natural landscape".[437] On another 2018 episode, Carlson criticized multiculturalism in the United States, skeptically asking "how, precisely, is diversity our strength?" and whether any other institutions benefitted from a lack of commonalities.[438][439] Talking about Hazleton, Pennsylvania, where Hispanics had quickly become a majority of the population, Carlson said it was "more change than human beings are designed to digest".[407] In May 2019 he said, "The flood of illegal workers into the United States has damaged our communities, ruined our schools, burdened our healthcare system and fractured our national unity."[386] In December 2019, he falsely claimed that immigrants were responsible for making the Potomac River "dirtier and dirtier".[440][441]
