  • ‘Coordinated arson attack’ brings French trains to a halt hours before Olympics opening ceremony

  • To weaken France's image, to sow chaos, to get security forces focused on other things while they try to get specific targets.

    There have been reports about both Russia and Iran being potentially involved.So far I've seen an article about a Russian getting arrested 2 days ago.

  • It's in the Wikipedia link.But here you go: https://www.hrw.org/news/2007/06/12/gaza-armed-palestinian-groups-commit-grave-crimes

    On Sunday, Hamas military forces captured 28-year-old Muhammad Swairki, a cook for President Mahmoud Abbas’s presidential guard, and executed him by throwing him to his death, with his hands and legs tied, from a 15-story apartment building in Gaza City.

    Two men were killed in revenge slaying, including a Fatah gunman thrown from a roof, in what Hamas described as a family grievance.

    The subject of this thread is about a strike on an army compound. That's not a war crime.

  • About Rafa?Sure: Yahoo, Reuters, Asharq Al-Awsat

    Quote from Reuters:

    The Israeli military said the strike against Deif also targeted Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas' Khan Younis Brigade, describing them as two of the masterminds of the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the nine-month war in Gaza

    About the pictures, this article shows them.Reuters also mentioned them, but it's written they haven't verified them yet.

    I should've clarified. They aren't currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.

    And that isn't the IDF, it's the Israeli police's counter-terrorism unit.

  • Deif is right after Sinwar in the chain of command in Gaza.Rafa Salama, the commander of the Khan Younis Brigade, was also targeted in that strike.The attack was on a fenced Hamas compound. I've seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike.

    And so far I haven't seen reports that distinguish between combatants and civilians. Either way Hamas combatants usually don't wear uniforms. You can see it in the videos they publish.

  • Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

    Jump

  • That's crazy because I've heard Israelis assert the exact opposite.

    Yes, religious extremists exist also in Israel.

    There's a certain dramatic irony in funding UNRWA, paying Israel to bomb UNRWA, and then claiming you're the only folks providing aid to Palestinians.

    I'm not the one who wrote USA is the only one providing aid.What you quoted is the reality. The bulk of the funding over the years has been from the USA and the EU.

  • Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

    Jump

  • So Palestinians are Hamas?Why is Iran not helping Fatah?Their support of Hamas is on ideological grounds. Israel is holy waqf land that belongs to Muslims and should be cleansed from Jews.

    Even when Egypt had sovereignty over Gaza they made sure to prevent Palestinians from going to Egypt.

    Tunnels from Lebanon... to Gaza..? Where'd you read that?Hezbollah begun bombing Israel in support of Hamas. They're also funded by Iran (much more than Hamas though).Meanwhile Palestinians live in camps in Lebanon. Some of those walled and surrounded by watchtowers.They have less rights there than anyone else (including refugees and migrant workers), despite living there for 3 generations at this point.

    Turkey under Erdogan has been mostly hosting Hamas leaders while bombing Kurds in Syria.

    I don't think much needs to be said about Assad.

    The only country in the area which actually helped Palestinians was Jordan. Although that also changed for a while after Black September.

    Most of UNRWA's funding over the years has come from the EU and USA.

  • Peer review isn't perfect, but it's supposed to filter out papers with obvious and major flaws.And usually scientific journals which are more highly regarded, are supposed to be more strict in their peer review process than others. Which is how they become highly regarded in the first place.

    The hydroxychloroquine paper for example had major flaws in the design of the analysis. There wasn't even a need for an expert in order to discover that, and you're supposed to have experts doing the peer review process in such a highly regarded journal.

  • Yes, I replied to someone who implied that the USA has been giving Israel military aid since 1944.

    I don't understand what are you trying to say with the rest of your reply.I already wrote that Israel bought it from the USA.

  • USA only started selling weapons to Israel in the 1960's, and initially only defensive weapons.Before that, the USA had an arms embargo on Israel. Israel got its weapons from Czechoslovakia (under Soviet rule) and later, France.
