In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s announcement on Thursday that both Hamas and Israel had signed off on an agreement to stop the fighting, the Israeli military launched an arson spree, setting fire to civilian infrastructure, including the destruction of an essential sanitation plant in Gaza City. After publication, the Israel Defense Forces told Drop Site it “is aware of the incident and it is being reviewed.”

The agreement came after months of a concerted effort to render Gaza uninhabitable by destroying residences and civilian infrastructure, culminating in the ground invasion of Gaza City and the leveling of several high rises in Gaza City. In September, Israeli government minister Gila Gamliel told Channel 7 News, “We have already completely annihilated 75% of the entire [Gaza] Strip. There remains 25%, which, as you know, it too...we are now taking over [the city of] Gaza—there will be nothing left there that would really [have] the potential to be habitable.”

The images posted to social media stand in stark contrast to the message put out on Truth Social by Trump: “Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly!” The burning of buildings taken over and used as command centers upon departure has been a consistent Israeli policy in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank. The scope of the carnage on Thursday night, however, went beyond any previously recorded individual arson spree.

Well of course they did.

That shouldn't be surprising since they're a bunch of savages.

Pretty good progress, only 25% left to go

Pentagon Documents Show U.S. Intentionally Used Sanctions to Destroy Iraq's Water Supply​

Shocking Revelations on Sanctions' 11th Anniversary


Madison, Wisconsin -- The U.S. government intentionally used sanctions against Iraq to degrade the country's water supply after the Gulf War, The Progressive magazine reports in its September issue, citing seven partially declassified Pentagon documents dating back to 1991.


Thomas J. Nagy, author of the cover story "The Secret Behind the Sanctions: How the U.S. Intentionally Destroyed Iraq's Water Supply," says the documents demonstrate that "the United States knew it had the capacity to devastate the water treatment system of Iraq. It knew what the consequences would be: increased outbreaks of disease and high rates of child mortality. And it was more concerned about the public relations nightmare for Washington than the actual nightmare that the sanctions created for innocent Iraqis."


Nagy cites a January 22, 1991, Defense Intelligence Agency document entitled "Iraq Water Treatment Vulnerabilities," which states: "Iraq will suffer increasing shortages of purified water because of the lack of required chemicals and desalination membranes. Incidences of disease, including possible epidemics, will become probable unless the population were careful to boil water." That document adds that "it probably will take at least six months (to June 1991) before the system is fully degraded."


The documents mention possible diseases that may flow from the degradation of Iraq's water supply. These include: cholera, diarrhea, diphtheria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, kwashiorkor, measles, meningitis, pertussis, and typhoid.


The article says, "The sanctions, imposed for a decade largely at the insistence of the United States, constitute a violation of the Geneva Convention."


A 1979 protocol to the Geneva Convention states: "It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove, or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as foodstuffs, crops, livestock, drinking water installations and supplies, and irrigation works."


The story is timely, as this week marks the eleventh anniversary of U.N. sanctions on Iraq.


"When the inglorious history of Iraq sanctions is written, these documents will demonstrate a level of callousness that is almost unspeakable," said Matthew Rothschild, editor of The Progressive.

With AI will there even be history books?

Nobody knows any history from over 5000 years ago because there are no books from that era.

The people alive with living memory will eventually just tell you that was just a plotline from Batman Begins.

Anyone who sees you operate will hang onto ours. Bank on it.

Yeah but no one will even believe them in a generation.

Look at the Holocaust as an example there are people who don't even believe that happened.

Most kids don't even read books now already. In a generation your books will mean nothing.

 

[acptulsa]

In a generation your books will mean nothing.

We'll see.

We'll see.

How do you turn it off when you have to have it in order to receive food?

You can't order a Uber eats or get an Uber without one.

I tried going without a smartphone for a while- but the generation that came after me surely can't do it and the next generation will be something even more.

The next smartphones will probably be completely integrated into your body like the neuralink.

LOL. I saw video of their "reunion" on TV yesterday.

She did not seem enthused. "Hate to tell you bruh, she's not your girlfriend anymore."

"An Israeli settler was bulldozing a Palestinian family’s home to steal their land when he triggered an IED planted by the IDF intended for Palestinians.

The poetic justice wasn’t lost on anyone except Israel, who responded to accidentally killing one of their own by bombing more Palestinians.

This is what passes for ‘moral clarity’ from the so-called ‘good’ guys.

When your solution to collateral damage is more collective punishment, you’ve become the very evil you claim to fight"
