Israeli forces ‘poisoned wells in Palestinian villages’ during 1948 Nakba

Israel made a soldier who raped prisoners to death into a celebrity, this is not at all surprising at this point

Strange, because reading this sounds like you don’t even understand what the mode of production or the contradictions fundamental to capitalism are. I find it hard to believe you’ve read or listened to his works but to each their own

Economist Richard Wolff has a lot of material on YouTube that explains the differences between Capitalism and Socialism as a mode of production, in addition to how this relates to how China’s economy differs from those like America. Assuming you are genuinely interested in learning more

Yeah dude, for sure

In May 1958, Israel was invited to a meeting of the Council of Europe. After that, a special commission was set up to discuss Israel’s possible participation in the NATO economic procurement program.[5] After that, Israel began to supply weapons and military equipment to the countries that are part of this organization.[6][7]

In December 1987, Israel signed a memorandum with the United States on the status of a major non-NATO ally. This status was awarded by the US administration to particularly close allies with whom it maintains strategic relations but is not a member of the organization.[8][9] This step was initiated by Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin.[10] The memorandum strengthened ties between the two countries in the field of defense research, development and procurement. It also included logistical support for Israel. The document compared Israel’s status in the United States with that of a NATO member, which allowed it to participate in and gain access to U.S. security development programs. The memorandum also simplified the access of the Israeli defense industry to tenders from NATO countries. This was supposed to make it easier for them to participate in the tenders of the NATO countries.[11]

In November 2017, Israel and NATO signed an agreement on the mutual exchange of security information.[25]

On February 9, 2018, a cooperation agreement was signed between Israel and NATO. This agreement gave Israeli companies the opportunity to participate in NATO tenders.[26]

A few weeks ago, Commander of NATO Maritime Command Vice Admiral Keith Blount said, “Israel has been an important partner to NATO for more than 20 years as well as an active member of [the] Mediterranean Dialogue.”

Settlers were always all of those things tbf. Even the dehumanizing propaganda and ethnic cleansing tactics have barely changed

AJ has more details

It’s not too surprising that this story has been picked up mostly by Israeli outlets, ignoring both the complete control of Aid that Israel has had deliberately restricted for years (and decades before Oct 7) as well as the Israeli-backed gangs that have historically disrupted aid

Once the wounded are treated we may have more info on what exactly they were planning, and if any government backing was involved. But I think them being vigilantes makes more sense currently

In addition to weapons, crewmembers had bulletproof vests, rifle scopes and camouflage fatigues

They clearly weren’t smart but it’s obvious they had lethal intentions. If anything was trying to be smuggled it would have been confiscated, yet nothing of the sort was found. plus there are far easier ways to smuggle through legal channels than on an armed unauthorized speedboat. Nothing about the smuggling angle holds up

Smugglers that were headed to Cuba, armed, and instigated hostilities with Cuban ships by firing upon them? That makes zero sense.

You seem to be having fun making up whatever fantasy scenarios that you like, so keep at it

Firing on Cuban ships, did you not read what happened?

why do you think they were armed? and opened fired on Cuban ships
