    How do you think they figure out the margin Putin wins by? Are there actual votes? Do they fill them in after? I mean 80, 81 percent, 82 percent? I doubt there are 18 percent of Russians willing to risk not voting for Putin.

    JERUSALEM — On Jan. 7, the Israeli military conducted a targeted missile strike on a car carrying four Palestinian journalists outside Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

    Two members of an Al Jazeera crew — Hamza Dahdouh, 27, and drone operator Mustafa Thuraya, 30 — were killed, along with their driver. Two freelance journalists were seriously wounded.

    They were returning from the scene of an earlier Israeli strike on a building, where they had used a drone to capture the aftermath. The drone — a consumer model available at Best Buy — would be central to the Israeli justification for the strike.

    The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement the next day it had “identified and struck a terrorist who operated an aircraft that posed a threat to IDF troops.” Two days later, the military announced it had uncovered evidence that both men belonged to militant groups — Thuraya to Hamas and Dahdouh to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, its smaller rival in Gaza — and that the attack had been in response to an “immediate” threat.

    The Washington Post obtained and reviewed the footage from Thuraya’s drone, which was stored in a memory card recovered at the scene and sent to a production company in Turkey. No Israeli soldiers, aircraft or other military equipment are visible in the footage taken that day — which The Post is publishing in its entirety — raising critical questions about why the journalists were targeted. Fellow reporters said they were unaware of troop movements in the area.

    AIPAC has gone so far to the right that it created an opening for someone prominent to speak on behalf of the (majority?) non-Zionist American Jews. Schumer wound up being the guy to do it.

    Also note that this happened the night after he attended an AIPAC fundraiser. They must have really freaked him out.

    I suspect that the IDF categorizes Al Jazeera reporters as "enemy journalists" and considers most of them as unfriendly propagandists at best and outright spies at worst.

    Are our taxes bankrolling the torture of the Uyghurs or the kidnapping of the schoolchildren?

    Never mind the billions for other, proprietary secret US ops. What are you, an infant?

    Fuck you, too.

    Anyway, I reject the idea that one must express the proper complaints about all the world's ills to complain about any particular one. (And I'd bet a great many of the people you're railing against have raised concerns about Ukraine at the very least, and probably China as well, and almost certainly previous CIA adventures.)
