When examining the public's attitudes regarding the extent of the IDF’s use of force in Gaza and its results, the attitudes of the Jewish public are clearly different from those of the Arab public. A large majority of the Jewish public thinks that the IDF uses adequate or too little force in Gaza. Unlike the beginning of the war, now about half of the Jewish public (51% compared to 37% in November) believes that the IDF uses firepower appropriately against Gaza, compared to 43% (58% in November) who believe that there is use of too little firepower. An absolute majority (88%) also justifies the scope of casualties on the Palestinian side when considering the goals of the war. On the other hand, over half of the Arab public (55%) believes that the IDF uses too much firepower against Gaza compared to a fifth (20%) who agree that the scope of firepower use is appropriate. Further, about half of the Arab respondents (53%) believe that the extent of casualties on the Palestinian side is not justified. At the same time, alongside these deep disagreements, over half of both groups (59% among the Jews and 54% among the Arabs) think that the extent of casualties on the Jewish side is unjustified. A significant minority among the Arab public refrains from expressing an opinion regarding the extent of casualties on the Palestinian side (34%) and on the Israeli side (29%).

the rumours of a Corbyn party

I really hope Corbyn does this, for the life of me I can't understand why he hasn't already. he needs to make Labour pay for what they did to them and be a voice for anti-genocide voters.

President Biden invites former President Trump to work together on a border bill while challenging congressional Republicans to “show a little spine.”

Biden is now goading Trump to support his fascist border bill. (I don't understand why Trump doesn't just accept it? they get everything they want) remember to vote though, most important election of our lifetimes, This. Is. An. Investment. In. Democracy. etc

lol George Galloway won his byelection:

“Keir Starmer, this is for Gaza,” he said. “You will pay a high price for the role that you have played in enabling, encouraging and covering for the catastrophe presently going on in occupied Gaza, in the Gaza Strip.”

Galloway won 12,335 votes – 39.7% of the total – in a much more sweeping victory than anyone had predicted, giving him a 5,697-vote majority.

Labour, which abandoned its candidate over inflammatory comments he made about Israel, finished in fourth place with just 7.7%, having held a near-10,000 vote majority in the constituency.

it's just incredible how openly astroturfed the main subs all are now. they probably were before too, but now they're banning anyone expressing a different opinion, banning non-right wing sources, etc.

politics streamers all suck so much. I made the mistake of watching hasan's stream from yesterday and he said the MSNBC coverage (where they put up the suicide hotline) was good and normal. then he read out the hotline number to the stream.

non-zero chance he was on hexbear

[-] atturaya@lemmygrad.ml 42 points 4 months ago

he wasn't a pilot, like 99% of the Air Force is just support staff. if you google his name, his linkedin comes up and I guess he was just a tech guy.

what do people think about this? it's very brave and selfless, but just doesn't seem very effective. someone did this a few months ago and it wasn't even covered in the media for a single day. I feel like if you're willing to die, you may as well [redacted] someone responsible on your way out.
