Teenage girl in hospital after being ‘smashed with glass bottles’ in antisimitic attack
  • a simple explanation could be the person who threw the glass was Jewish. They couldn't turn him in. But would still have to explain the injuries.

    So that's not you? Looks like I responded to another of your comments, but are you really going to deny what anyone can see by scrolling down?

  • Thinking about making my own lemmy client, but I could use some feedback
  • Thunder is a solid app! I don't believe that it has a display for large screens like PCs, but it is cross-platform in Android and iOS.

  • Teenage girl in hospital after being ‘smashed with glass bottles’ in antisimitic attack
  • So after being exposed for making up fake scenarios in which a Jewish girl having glass bottles thrown at her head is not really a victim, you go back and edit your comments to make up fake scenarios in which a Jewish person is somehow the perpetrator??

    What a class act.

  • Kids
  • My kid was all about that packaged bread today lol

  • Teenage girl in hospital after being ‘smashed with glass bottles’ in antisimitic attack
  • No, I'm not going to let you keep trying to pivot. You saw a story about a young Jewish girl in the hospital for following an apparent antisemitic attack.

    Your immediate reaction was not, "that's awful, I hope they catch the guy who did this. By the way, folks should know that the people who helped her are part of a problematic organization."

    Instead, your first reaction was to immediately begin developing various theories about how what happened isn't really what happened.

    They werere not really visibly Jewish.

    It wasn't really an attack.

    The distance was too far.

    It happened too quickly.

    It was an accident.

    To owner of the newspaper is not reliable.

    The owner of the ambulance is not reliable.

    The eyewitness is not reliable.

    Mind you, these are all pure speculations. There is no evidence you've provided that any one of these should affect the veracity of this particular story. There is no counter-witness statement saying they saw something else. You don't have measurements of the balcony. When a Jewish person is hurt and your first reaction is to concoct half a dozen different theories about why they are not really a victim you should probably examine that.

  • It seems much stranger to me that you're so familiar with the Orthodox Jewish community, and yet you don't know how easily identifiable an Orthodox person is by their distinctive clothing. You're working very hard to prove that an attack against a Jew was not antisemitic.

  • Teenage girl in hospital after being ‘smashed with glass bottles’ in antisimitic attack
  • And yet you never stopped to think about why a community of visibly Jewish people would need private security...

  • Teenage girl in hospital after being ‘smashed with glass bottles’ in antisimitic attack
  • Personally, I would find it exhausting to do this kind of thinking every time someone attacks a Jew.

    Teenage girl in hospital after being ‘smashed with glass bottles’ in antisimitic attack

    A group of young Jewish girls were on their way to a rehearsal on Monday evening when ‘around a dozen glass bottles and plates’ were allegedly thrown at them by a man on a balcony at Woodberry Down Estate.

    The girl was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.

    ‘The sheer volume of glass scattered across the area resembles the aftermath of a riot.

    ‘The force and distance of the thrown glass bottles reveal the deliberate and violent nature of this act.

    ‘These young children were targeted simply for their visibly Jewish identity.’

    Palestinian Authority President Abbas Names Interim Successor if He Has to Leave Post

    Abbas was elected to a four-year term in 2005, but no presidential ballot has been held since and he is now deeply unpopular, with a September opinion poll showing 89 percent of Palestinians in the West Bank wanted him to resign.

    In a statement released late on Wednesday, Abbas said the chairman of the Palestinian National Council should serve as interim president for no more than 90 days, during which presidential elections should be held.

    Lebanon's Hezbollah vows to continue resistance after ceasefire

    CAIRO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Lebanon's Hezbollah on Wednesday vowed to continue its resistance and support Palestinians, including fighters, a day after a ceasefire deal between the group and Israel was announced.

    In the first statement by Hezbollah's operations centre since the deal was announced, the group made no direct mention of the ceasefire deal.

    "The Islamic resistance's operations room affirms that its fighters in all military disciplines will remain fully equipped to deal with the aspirations and assaults of the Israeli enemy," the group said.

    www.nytimes.com Israeli Leaders Blamed by Independent Inquiry for Oct. 7 Failures

    After the Israeli government delayed a formal investigation into the Hamas attacks, an alliance of survivors and victims’ families set up their own inquiry. Their scathing findings were released on Tuesday.

    Israeli Leaders Blamed by Independent Inquiry for Oct. 7 Failures

    The commission, formally known as the Civil Commission of Inquiry of the Oct. 7 Disaster, condemned Mr. Netanyahu for sidelining high-level decision-making forums that might have stirred greater internal debate about the wisdom of such a policy.

    The commission also criticized top generals for reducing the number of troops stationed along Israel’s border with Gaza, allowing loose discipline among the soldiers who remained, and prioritizing signal intelligence over human and visual monitoring of the Palestinian enclave.

    Uganda Kidnaps Opposition Leader in Kenya

    Kizza Besigye, a longtime rival of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, disappeared on that Saturday while visiting the country for a book launch by Kenyan politician Martha Karua. He reappeared several days later at a military court in the Ugandan capital of Kampala, charged with various terrorism offenses including the illegal possession of firearms.

    In July, 36 members of Besigye’s Forum for Democratic Change—one of Uganda’s biggest opposition parties—including one individual who held refugee status in Kenya, were deported from Kenya and charged with terrorism in Kampala.

    Hezbollah’s damage to northern Israel revealed

    Hezbollah announced it has targeted the “Kiryat Shmona settlement with a barrage of qualitative missiles”.

    Kiryat Shmona is among the largest settlements in the north and resembled a modern-day city before settlers joined tens of thousands of others in other settlements and fled the region.

    This came after Hezbollah entered the battlefield as a support front for the U.S.-backed Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.

    Among other statements published by Hezbollah on Tuesday included the targeting of the settlements of Avivim and Manara with rocket barrages. At the same time, Hezbollah continues to carry out the most complex operations against the regime since its founding. After the Israeli regime waged full-scale war on Lebanon in September, Hezbollah responded with thousands of complex operations under the banner of “The Battle of the Mighty Ones.”

    TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel said Sunday that the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found after he was killed in what it described as a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.”

    The Anti-Defamation League, a US organization that aims to combat antisemitism and support Israel, has published a report alleging that Steam is "rife with extremism and antisemitism," and accusing Valve of allowing the spread of hateful and extremist material through a "highly permissive approach to content policy."

    The ADL's Center on Extremism found "found millions of examples of extremist and hateful content, including explicit hate symbols like sonnenrads and 'happy merchants,' as well as copypastas (blocks of text that are copied and pasted to form images or long-form writing) shaped into swastikas" being shared on the platform. The ADL also found "tens of thousands of pieces of terrorism-related content on Steam Community," including more than 15,000 public accounts with profile pictures featuring the flags or logos of ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas
