NEW | Rwandan-backed M23 rebels declared a unilateral “humanitarian” ceasefire in the eastern DRC ahead of peace talks scheduled for February 7 and 8.
M23 already broke the ceasefire, however, and a long-term political solution remains unlikely. 1/6

Una storia incredibile: gruppi civili di ascolto radio dei kibbutz socialisti del sud avevano scoperto con settimane di anticipo che Hamas stesse preparando l'attacco, ma le IDF non li hanno ascoltati e anzi li hanno censurati. I vertici israeliani devono dimettersi tutti

Language engineering: notare il passaggio dal focus sul "camera del bambino" a "base terrorista" a "oggetti personali del terrorista"
Da un lato implicano che sia un libro per bambini, dall'altro che sia usato da un terrorista: quindi si normalizza che i bambini siano obiettivi in quanto terroristi

Media watchdog says it was just ‘raising questions’ with insinuations about photographers and Hamas
The head of an Israeli media watchdog says it was simply ‘raising questions’ by wondering whether Palestinian photojournalists who documented the Oct. 7 attack on Israel had been tipped off in advance that it had happened.

If you don't see how the mindset of "we can declare civilians soldiers if they support things we don't like" is way worse for Palestinian civilians, please sit quietly and contemplate for a bit.

Direi che questa è una ottima osservazione. Se gli ucraini avessero aviazione e mortai (nell'artiglieria difettano proprio di mortai) in quantità non avrebbero bisogno di così tanti microdroni kamikaze
I think it's important to understand that small drones (especially one-way "suicide" drones) are a workaround for a lack of airpower and artillery, not a technological step forward
to the extent they're "the future," it's that they show how you can create effects in unusual/suboptimal circumstances
