What happened when the mayor at the center of the second largest concentration of Jews on earth ran without AIPAC money.

Then why did all these Biden officials feel the need to drive their career into a ditch by resigning because of how they felt about Biden’s response to the Palestinian Genocide?

sopuli.xyz? For the record I don’t claim to represent the opinions of this instance broadly, my opinions are my own so they should take my behavior that way. I independently chose to take the actions and say the things I did because I feel they were the right thing to do, which is perpendicular to sopuli.xyz itself unless I broke instance rules while doing so.

Do you think this demonstrates a meaningful resistance to Netanyahu? These are all words, heard second hand, conveyed in private. They are not actions.

Words like those are vanishingly cheap.

Please cite evidence that Biden did not want to be played, that Biden did not at the very least turn a willing blind eye to massively minimize his part in the crime here.

The first article you link me is from Fox News?

The second is from 2010.

The third is paywalled and from the NYT which has a well established history of not only failing to cover the Palestinian Genocide with journalistic integrity but also in not questioning the US government’s narratives about war in general even when they are egregiously wrong as in the case with the Iraq War and Weapons Of Mass Destruction.

Also why are you still talking with me? Why don’t you unlock the thread where this discussion is more topical on Lemmy.World support so we can talk there?

How does it make sense to lock that one and continue to engage in this one?

Defend your behavior as it appears extemely immature and also… come up with better sources.

What can be proven is Biden had power over Netanyahu, Biden knew the reality of the Genocide and had the easy capability to learn all he wanted, and he chose to do nothing but attack leftists for bringing it up.

That is enough to damn someone to going to hell, so I am fine with just evidence of that.

I have continued to post on the topic but unfortunately because you and the Lemmy World moderation team have been so toxic I have decided to begin removing myself from Lemmy.World communities to post elsewhere with actual adults running their mod team and that would never let you near power in a million years given your immature, childish and hateful behavior.

Personally I want to emphasize that you are hurting people with your immaturity and broken ideology, this is not abstract and you will not be remembered kindly for your part here.

(Thanks for that though, on the list you go. Which one? The ones which you’re kind enough to help me with.:)

Put me on your list of people you have cut yourself out from interacting with because you erroneously confused them pointing out correctly that you are full of shit with them being Russian shills.

“There are zero Russians on Lemmy and I see nothing here.”

Did I ever say there were zero russians here? You are clearly exaggerating my arguments in attempt to gotcha me, but I never said there weren’t russians on the fediverse with ulterior motives.

If you checked my post history you blabbering idiot you would see I am very pro-Ukrainian so… your lazy attempt to narrativize my actions according to your babylike understanding of the world falls apart immediately here.

Yeah I’m more inclined to believe you’re just another Ruski

I am well aware of that, this is very obviously a pattern of thought for you.

Looking at the posts you have linked, no I don’t see any overwhelming evidence of anything here. Didn’t you say it was easy to find?

It is also a dumb argument because WHY would Biden do that? It is an argument gesturing at an alternative that makes no sense.

If I quit my job because I think my boss is a terrorist, it doesn’t mean they actually ARE, just that I believe they are. 😉

Not the point I was making, the point I was making was Biden knew and so did his staff.

The thread in the community was locked because it’s off topic. I always lock removed threads.

Why are you still discussing it then?

Further, a defense of removing a post because it was off topic when my criticism was that the rules are biased, broken and fundamentally inconsistent with logic is not a rebuttal but a doubling down on the very structure I am pointing out is problematic.

But if you REALLY want the conversation, I mean REALLY want it, why have you STILL not posted the removed articles to

Because I am advocating for people to boycott these communities given the extremely problematic and broken moderation of them. In short, why would I post there, y’all have broken my trust.

Then prove it, I don’t care about your screens “somewhere”.

I think centrist democrats care so much about keeping their only priority going that they were happy to lose to trump. And that hasn’t changed.

This is what truly scares me.

There is your proof fool, Biden’s staff began resigning to try to desperately get the message through.

Also it is pathetic y’all locked the thread on your community but you can’t resist still arguing about it here. Pick a lane.

Dad Gum! Good job Mater!

Do they mean the russian airborne assault which immediately broke the back of russian rotarywing capability because it failed on so many different levels at once?

To be clear I massively disagree with the Venezeula military operation, but as a military helicopter assault operation it was devastatingly successful. As deeply sad as it makes me as a turn of geopolitical events, I can’t help but feeling in a small way amused at how shocked people were about the speed and decisiveness with which the Venezeula helicopter assault operation happened, and how it made all of the broader more general forms of resistance irrelevant in that span of a couple of high intensity hours right around the immediate seat of power in Venezuela.

People seem to almost think “Well the only reason the Venezeula helicopter assault worked was because no one expected they would actually do it and it happened so fast!” to which my reply is that is specifically the point of helicopters, to tactically transgress somewhere unexpected with such speed that even if a theoretical defense was possible the enemy did not think it was likely enough in that place and context to actually have everything set up and ready to go to stop the helicopter assault.

People had a similar reaction of disbelief to the Ukrainian helicopter hot insertion near Pokrovosk with a blackhawk. The reaction was "this would never work in that spot again, there are too many drones! Look if those russian drones which caught the blackhawk on video had been ready they could have blown the blackhawk up easy!’ to which the obvious answer is again, yes it would not work in the same way in the same place again, that is NOT the point of helicopters. The point was nobody was ready for the helicopter until the helicopter was already gone.

Contrast this to the russian helicopter assault which failed strategically and tactically, resulted in high rates of aircraft loss and operationally consigned russian helicopters to backline duties for the russian war machine.

https://warontherocks.com/2023/08/the-battle-of-hostomel-airport-a-key-moment-in-russias-defeat-in-kyiv/

The Russians commenced their attack on February 24th with pre-assault strikes across the city, the airbase, and the infiltration corridor. Two 3M14 Kalibr cruise missiles struck Hostomel airport around 6 or 7 a.m. but proved ineffective. One missed the barracks and instead cratered a nearby parade field; the second missed a nearby residential building. The Russian aerospace forces, however, were effective at suppressing some Ukrainian air defenses. Other elements targeted Ukrainian command and control, leaving the Ukrainian air force to contest the sky that morning.

The Russian Aerospace Forces created a corridor for the air assault by successfully jamming some Ukrainian radars and damaging or suppressing two major air defense sites responsible for screening the Dnipro River north of the city. With Ukrainian air defenses weakened, Russian helicopters crossed the Belarusian border and entered Ukrainian airspace at approximately 9:30 a.m. They conducted a low-level, “nap of the earth” infiltration along the Dnipro River to avoid any Ukrainian radars that might have remained operational. They remained undetected until they neared the dam at the Kyiv hydroelectric powerplant just north of Kyiv around 10:30 a.m. After being spotted, Ukrainian anti-aircraft missiles downed two of the lead helicopters near the dam. A damaged Ka-52 crash-landed near the river’s shore while a destroyed Mi-24 crashed into the river. Trailing helicopters fired their flares and avoided further losses.

Around 11 a.m., the attack formation neared Hostomel airport. As they approached, the attack helicopters broke to the north — to engage targets on the airfield — and the transport helicopters broke to the south — planning to land and secure the airfield’s barracks and facilities. The Ukrainian Commander, Maj. Vitalii Rudenko, was unaware of approaching helicopters until he heard the chopping of the helicopters’ rotor blades. Minutes later, the sounds of the rotors were drowned out by the sounds of rockets and machine gun fire from the attack helicopters.

But the Russians faced stiffer resistance than they expected. Rudenko had deployed his small force to defend the airfield earlier in the morning. Roughly 20 Ukrainian National Guard soldiers defended the radar at the northern end of the airfield with the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns while the rest — which included a couple of squads of National Guard reinforcements that had been sent to help defend the airfield earlier in the morning — defended the airfield from battle positions at the airfield’s south. The Ukrainian military had also moved large trucks and other vehicles onto the airfield to make it unserviceable for fixed-wing aircraft until after the vehicles had been moved.

Russia should be embarassed to even show imagery of helicopters in their propaganda, they shit the bed hard with rotarywing military power, one might say they shit the bed about as hard as you can in that realm.

thats fine except MY WALLET DAMN I LEFT IT TOO

Yeah I mean am I surprised Maine is too high off libertarian nonsense to understand how to be genuinely progressive? No… but they found a way to make it work here and I support that. How do you argue against this? You can’t.
