Prepare for all the liberal newspapers suddenly discovering Israel has been doing war crimes and feeling a lot of sympathy for Palestinians.

Keeping these images from the US public is what ACTUAL censorship looks like Musk and magas! Getting banned for being a bigot is not.

Man this is gonna be so worth it when Biden wins the election

There is no such thing as a “liberal” media. All media is protecting vested interests. Take the Washington Post, once considered one of the most liberal newspapers which has suddenly switched sides, because it better fits it’s owners interest.

There is however a strong pro-Israel lobby. The fact that they release this footage now reveals that we are indeed close to a ceasefire.

[–] holo@lemmy.wtf 18 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That's liberalism. Liberalism is freedom contingent on capital, and serves capitalism first.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Unfortunately in the US conservatives are always using words they don't understand to describe the opposition.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 23 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

CIA contacts inside every major American media outlet sounds like a bad conspiracy joke even though it ended up being true.

It even sounds stupid because you would think it would end up being corporate interests or maybe some other small internal group, but nah it's literally the CIA because they have nothing better to do......

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 19 hours ago

They’re up and down the social media networks as well. For example while probably not a CIA spook the director of public policy for Facebook Joel Kaplan participated in the brooks brothers riot that stopped the recount in Florida during bush v gore. And lawyers for the bush team during them - Amy coney barret and Brett kavanaugh became Supreme Court justices.

As much I dislike Trump, Biden deserves prison time. The man authored the war on crime drug bill that has led to enormous suffering to his people... Catholic fuck

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

I hate Trump, I dislike Biden. Both need to be behind bars for different reasons.

[–] Kerred@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

I feel like Trump and Biden's minds will be too far gone to ever regret who suffered because of them. Okay Trump probably won't care, but it would be neat the last thing both of them hear how forgotten they will be and how the regular suffering will be remembered and missed.

[–] ToucheGoodSir@lemy.lol 2 points 13 hours ago

Eh that's the thing is they're already in the history books. They won't be forgotten, but you're correct. They will be viewed like Andrew Johnson. Trump will. Biden will be known for being a career politician that said he diddled a 10 year old when he was 30 on TV while apparently in a state of delirium. (Feel free to fact that check, coulda been a deepfake. Hard to tell these days if enough resources are put into that. Not in the mood to verify, just what I Remember).

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

It was worth the wait though because at least Biden won the election

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 14 points 22 hours ago

I mean, if it ends the genocide, note that this is now undeniable proof of coordination between the “fourth estate” and the govt, and end the fuckin genocide.

Is it disgusting that now liberals will come out saying hey can’t believe what trump is doing in Gaza? Of fucking course. it’s goddamn sickening. But Jesus Christ whatever it takes to save these people.

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh it's not so bad you see... They're the useful shell casings... Kids can play with them and everything! You want us to stop dropping toys for the kiddos? Monster /s

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Next up, Gazans steal valuable military assets from the US. Children as young as five caught hoarding raw materials to make weapons of mass destruction.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck Israel, the US, and the media - but also Xitter video posts of media posts with speculative headlines.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The CBS video starts with "This is the scene filmed in in May by CBS news in Gaza" https://x.com/60Minutes/status/1878603779001536611

There is no speculation going on.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Atleast people in the USA have cheaper eggs.

Except we don’t, the bird flu keeps getting worse.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 13 hours ago

Trump will take care of us all. He did with covid (check notes), only around 1.12 mil people died.

[–] Soulifix@kbin.melroy.org 22 points 1 day ago

Yeah, look at all of them "USA" markers on those ammunition casings. When USA was backing this. They're just as guilty.

[–] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The problem with being the police of the world, is the police by their very existence allow for an imbalance to exist in the world. The haves, and the have nots, regardless of social system police are required so hoarding of resources can be maintained. Some also protect law and order, but it's obvious the first use is heavily used by the 1%. So when we are policing one countries invasion, and not another, we are tipping our hands as the police for one specific group, while actively paying for the destruction of another - Palastine/Ukraine.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What sort of casing is that? Doesn't look like anything JDAM related.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)
[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah I get they're casings, but what from? More out of curiosity. Doesn't look like rocket pods. Maybe they carry artillery ammunition?

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

155mm propellant (MACS) which means it could be anywhere in range of 40km from impact. the closer it is, the less strain is put on howitzer barrels, less charges are used and accuracy goes up a bit

that, or a tank round container. MACS container should have markings 1.3C, 1.2E makes more sense for a tank round. in which case it was where tank crews reloaded, so close to their supply point, and not where they went out to

120mm containers would be more common because it's one shot per one box vs a couple at closer ranges for MACS. neither proves anything other than "there was military activity there" which is already known

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I tried searching online. It suggested 155mm artillery ammunition or tank rounds based on the letters. But the pictures of the ammunition looks quite different from the online pictures of the casing. Going to need a weapons expert on this one.

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 4 points 16 hours ago

Like other have said, very likely cases for tank rounds instead of arty given they were ditched in Gaza - but without a clear shot of the reverse hard to tell exactly what kind, they are generic containers until labeled for their contents. US made and supplied:

  • 1A2 - Drum/pail, steel, with removable lid
  • Y45 - Medium hazard contents, max mass 45kg
  • S - Solid contents
  • 19 - Year of manufacture, 2019

US / DOD / AYD - Activity code, Armament, Research, Development and Engineering Center (pg 17)

155mm projectiles are screwed into a plank with a transport plug and loaded into a pallet this way, with fuzes shipped separately in a box

Seems to be just one media outlet though.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world -3 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

Imo it's not a liberal news paper if it was on the side of genocide.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

Let's check to see if our Liberal party supports genocide.

...Whoops they do.

Alright, guess Liberals support genocide. I mean, they support social murder, stripping the third world of its resources for the economically powerful countries, and abide by status quo to the order that dead rich white people set up centuries ago. Genocide is just a more obvious form of murder.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 15 hours ago

Modern liberalism, Neoliberalism, is permanently fused with zionism and is also otherwise on the side of the MIC. Liberal ≠ Left

[–] holo@lemmy.wtf 2 points 19 hours ago

Liberalism requires genocide to function.

[–] Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world -1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It’s neither a newspaper, nor liberal.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

Well you're half right. CBS IS very much adherent to Neoliberalism, which is a center right to right wing ideology that goes hand in hand with Zionism and other inherently toxic movements.
