Huh. Must be a day that ends with y.

No one can really make an argument that  the Iranians don’t know about the unit. Iran’s intelligence doesn’t need a public webpage to know about U.S. forces operating in Israel. So the only ones who are kept in the dark are  the American people, who don’t have the luxury of an intelligence service (or a functional and informative news media) to tell them what’s going on. Americans who, poll after poll demonstrates, care deeply about what’s happening in Israel and their government’s role in it.

Propaganda isn’t for the enemies, it’s domestic. You keep Rome stable so you can fight your imperialistic wars in peace. It’s hard to fill your coffers under scrutiny.

I thought this statistic could simply mean that a lot of people get illegal entity citizenship without intending to move there, but clearly there’s more.

“Seventy per cent of those polled reported that they have significantly changed their behaviour in public since 7 October,” said the survey report. “They are more reluctant to display Jewish symbols or speak in Hebrew, they remove the mezuzahs from their doorposts, they tend to go out less and meet less frequently in city centres.”

It added that 44 per cent of respondents considered enhancing their self-defence capabilities. “They cited the purchase of a firearm, carrying pepper spray or tear gas, installing security cameras in their homes or taking Krav Maga [martial art] lessons as the preferred means for achieving this goal.”

“I’m worried I’ll be attacked due to my religion/ethnicity. On an unrelated note, those 13000 Palestinian kids deserved what they got.” -Zionist fucks, as always

Here’s a super fun exercise anyone can do with a bit of free time. If ever you read an article regurgitating some claim of an atrocity by any western enemy, follow the links to the claim. It won’t be much of a rabbit hole. In general, for a 4 yol claim (so the October 7 tales may not fit exactly) you’ll be linked to a 2 week old article, which will link a 6 month old one, which will link a 2 yo one, which send you to:

1. Wikipedia, which will have already been re-written citing a 1 yo article
2. A UN transcript, HRW article, or something equally worthless of someone repeating the claim
3. The best approximation of an original source

That last one is extremely rare, but it’s always magnificent. You find out stuff like how the 1-3 million interned Uyghurs claim comes from a pseudo-study that remotely talked to 8 people and nothing else.
