Those Aren't Just Prisons. They're Concentration Camps. Also Notice How The Guards Wear Medical Gloves

Those aren't just prisons. They're concentration camps. Also notice how the guards wear medical gloves (presumably to avoid touching "filth"). It's revolting.

❗️New images reveal the abuse and torture of Palestinian detainees from Gaza at the hands of israeli forces.

Regardless of whatever horror happens, the human capability to deny reality is infinite & the gaslighting never stops. Even if the Geneva Convention is treated as a to-do list, even if israeli officials have declared intentions of genocide a million times, even if israeli teenagers dream of Disneyland in Gaza, even if every corpse is seen by the world, even if war crimes have never been committed so brazenly, there will be a guy somewhere who goes "it's just war, people die in war all the time". Everyone has a brain, thinking and morality is optional

Also, if we need the profit motive, rather than patents, why not have, idk, researchers paid by states or universities? Oh wait, that's how most innovation already works. And then we give the patent for free to a company that usually did much less than public institutions.

"People wouldn't invent anything if there was no profit motive."

Well, that's clearly a lie.

Wallonia bans transit of all arms towards Israel

"Given the situation in Gaza and the decisions of the ICJ, the Minister-President has signed a ministerial decree forbidding all transport o

Wallonia has issued a ban on the transit of all arms from its territory towards Israel, the region's Minister-President Elio Di Rupo (PS) confirmed to Le Soir. The decision followed an investigation by Belgium's francophone national news channel RTBF, as well as Le Soir and De Morgen, which revealed that 70 tonnes of munitions and explosives had transited via Liège airport to Israel since Hamas attack on 7 October. This was despite a commitment made in February by the Walloon government to prevent lethal weapons from passing via the region to the Jewish State. The media investigation revealed that a legal loophole had allowed arms transit to continue, with the military material sent from New York and stopping in Liège en route to Tel Aviv. Shipments were handled by Challenge Airlines, an airfreight logistics company which operates predominantly via transit hubs in Israel, Malta, and Belgium. The company's CEO, Yossi Shoukroun, is himself an Israeli national.Commenting on the details of the cargo, Wies De Graeve of Amnesty International in Flanders confirmed that the material was "military equipment from the US passing via the Israeli-American airfreight company Challenge". The airline was able to exploit a legal blind spot by transiting via Liège without transferring goods between aircraft. Until now, planes did not require a licence to make a short stop in Wallonia airports providing that cargoes were not moved from the aircraft. But on Monday, Di Rupo's office signed a ministerial decree forbidding all transit of arms towards Israel, regardless of whether the cargo leaves the aircraft or not.

And to the people who ask why we non-Americans care about American politics, it's because of your foreign policy. Other states have to either fall in line and become America's little lapdog like my own does, or the picture above is what happens to their citizens. Sometimes the former doesn't prevent the latter either.
