What's really shocking to me is that the Pentagon blocked the automatic mass murder war crime seawater pump machine

Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

As absurd as it sounds, a conventional “war” with boots on the ground at least grants the perpetrators some sort of cover. If they killed the entire population with this method or with a nuke or something, they could no longer frame the genocide as a war between two standing armies. It would dispel any illusions that Israel is embattled or persecuted by the Palestinians and is only reacting to a threat. As dumb as that logic is, it is the veil of plausibility that the general public uses to willfully maintain their ignorance.
Also, flooding the earth with seawater makes the land harder to inhabit for settlers afterward, and could fuck up the water table in adjacent areas as well. This is likely the same reason Israel is reluctant to use nukes -- They want that land to be worth stealing at the end of the day.
To add to this, a huge part of the Israeli propaganda machine focused on Evangelicals leans heavily on the idea that Israel 'makes the deserts bloom' via magic irrigation techniques only white people could figure out so polluting the land specifically with sea water might be too bad a look for them on that front
(Conveniently ignoring Gaddafi)
Lesson the US military eventually learned in Vietnam after camera and television technology had matured to the point the general public got to witness weapons of mass destruction in use. Until that point there was no real backlash whenever the US military fire bombed entire cities. In the WW2 Pacific theater the US killed over a hundred thousand civilians at a time fire bombing Japanese cities and no one gave a fk but when the public watched on their living room televisions the same tactics being used in Vietnam there was backlash.
I guess the lesson learned was that after the advent of video mass media you gotta only kill hundreds of civilians at a time and if you do shit like depoy a weapon that kills tens to hundreds of thousands at a time the public starts getting squeamish.
The major lesson the Pentagon learned was to co-opt the media. See The Gulf War Did Not Take Place
I should re-read this. it was fascinating the first time and I'd probably get more out of it a second time
It does probably help that japan were on the side of fascists and (north) vietnam were decidedly not. But yeah, widespread video and color photos of atrocities probably is a bigger factor
Who would have thought that Warcrimes INC would be telling the Israelis how to commit warcrimes?!
Flood it with drinking water right? 
Remember those stories about that "merchant of death" arms dealer? Meanwhile this dude is still scurrying around? Fuck.
Erik Prince is definitely in the running for "most ontologically evil American" which is a feat in of itself. The high brass and top government position ghouls doing heinous shit in the state department and DHS have the veil of being "adults in the room making tough choices" and "professional bureaucrats" with some distance from the brutality and suffering their work inflicts that are "just doing their job," and the most immediately grotesque bloodthirsty killer boots on the ground operator guys like the Navy Seal serial killer sniper that kept killing civilians for shits and giggles that was so egregious that the rest of his squad deliberately fucked with his scope so he couldn't shoot more innocent people and testified against him at his conviction (that Trump eventually pardoned) are at best directly responsible for three figure death tolls on their own. Prince has all the worst attributes of both, a former door kicking ghoul JSOC guy turned Calvinists dominionist freak running Private Warcrimes Incorporated LLC that spends his blood money and time coming up with Bond villain shit to help the Zionist entity complete their genocide.

Who is this?
Had to look it up because I forgot the fucker's name, but it's Edward Gallagher.

I need to know about this guy
Apparently Erik Prince is the brother of Betsy DeVos
