  • In 2023, police in the U.S. Killed over 1,300 people, marking a steady increase in police killings, as reported by Mapping Police Violence.
  • There were only 14 days without a police killing, and on average, a person was killed by law enforcement every 6.6 hours.
  • While the number of people killed by gunfire and officers killed in the line of duty declined, this data highlights the need for significant changes in policing in the country.

Summary:

Jul 7, 2022 UNRWA textbooks still include hate, antisemitism despite ... violence against Israel and hatred of Jews, despite promises to remove such content.

  • An Israeli watchdog group called IMPACT-se has found that UNRWA textbooks still contain incitement against Israel and Jews, despite promises to remove such content.

  • Specifically, the textbooks encourage jihad, violence, martyrdom and promote anti-Semitism.

  • UNRWA has removed the problematic content from its public education portal but not from actual classrooms.

  • Exercises in the textbooks teach about sacrificing blood to liberate Jerusalem and resisting the enemy courageously.

  • A poem teaches that dying as a martyr by killing Israelis is a hobby.

  • Islamic education material depicts Jews as inherently treacherous and hostile to Islam.

  • Israel is described as an imperialist conspiracy to divide the Arab world and Israeli cities are labeled as Palestinian.

  • IMPACT-se says the textbooks do not align with UN values of neutrality, human rights and non-discrimination.

  • US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield called the textbook content a "red line."

  • Similar criticisms have been made of Palestinian Authority textbooks, but Palestinians reject the claims of incitement.

EDIT:

This is all over a lot of BULLSHIT right-wing sites. The link I provided is the only high-factuality source I could find. Can anyone confirm this story, or is it made up right-wing nutter bait?

I'm hoping even if correct, that it's still extremely misconstrued or misrepresented. Requesting assistance if someone sees a decent source on this one.

These Make Hamas Great Again (MHGA) people are already WAY down the slope to committing violent terrorist attacks. They all need to be on watch lists.

The federal government needs to, BY FORCE put down Texas' armed insurrection. This bullshit reminds me of that Bundy ranch where the fucking feds backed down and said, wait you're going to point guns at us? Okay we'll let you break the law.

When Texas started using armed forces to prevent federal officers from accessing their jurisdiction, especially when they prevented those officers from attempting to rescue drowning victims that Texas murdered--that became an armed insurrection and treason.

And for ordering it, Abbot ought to be rendered to GITMO to await trial, and prosecuted for his crimes against humanity, treason, etc.

It's important to destroy terrorists, including these Hamas allies. Plus sending a message to Iran as their proxies get decimated.

Normal, everyday terrorist attack which the alt-left MHGA kids think Israel should ignore and tolerate.

10
 
 

I'm sure there's some twisted way that the MHGA alt-left kids can celebrate and justify the infant hostage of Gaza's government who has majority support of its residents.

100 delivery systems for war-crimes by Hamas removed from service, a victory against terrorism! Que the pro-terrorist, Hamas recruits, down vote circle-jerk!

12
 
 

Granted, he's still running things in Gaza, but it's good to recognize that the government in charge there ARE terrorists all the way up to the top.

13
 
 

Every day they get bolder and more dangerous. If we keep tolerating these terrorist recruits and radicalized extremists then soon we're going to be awash in violence.

MAGA storms the capitol, MHGA storms the white house. Same nuts, same radicalism, just different sides of political extremism!

14
 
 

Never tolerate the intolerant!

Because the alt-left MHGA recruits would disregard or ban this list on any of their echo chambers, I'll post it here for the intellectually curious. It is a biased source, but filled with starting points if you want to investigate, and filled with FACTS. You can research individual attacks accounted for here, which is a better list than can be found in most places, with more initial details for your research.

It's a rough resource for people peddling a false narrative of innocent, defenseless, oppressed Palestinians. But sometimes facts ARE rough.

THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE ISRAEL'S WAR CRIMES, and doesn't mean there's not a HUGE list of those either. The point is, those you will always find celebrated in the MHGA echo chambers, whereas this would get instantly removed by the Hamas in training.

These are who the alt-left MHGA kids align with and sympathize with as they're radicalized and indoctrinated. Be careful, tolerating it too much will lead to them becoming actual terrorists.

Starting in 1948, the Arab and Muslim world had stolen the land and exiled around 900,000 Jews.

The reason you NEVER heard this discussed at the same time as Palestinian land being stolen or right of return is exclusively the fact that the MHGA crowd has no principled argument. While they cry about the Palestinian Arabs they will never mention what happened to the Jews.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world

A REALLY fascinating aspect of this, is if you applied the same unique (and bullshit) UNRWA definition of refugee to these Jews, then there would be millions of them who these alt-left should be calling for their "right of return" across the arab and muslim world. Funny how that's NEVER happened.

Just a reminder that the MHGA (Make Hamas Great Again) alt-left radicals hate facts that don't play to their narratives:

https://besacenter.org/palestinian-rejectionism/

EVEN an 80% Palestinian Arab and 20% Palestinian Jew split wasn't acceptable. Let that simmer...

Attacking music festivals and other civilian targets to broadcast the slaughter apparently doesn't qualify as terrorism to this Hamas recruit.

If you're the type of person who gets banned for providing inconvenient facts with sources to Lemmy radicals, speaking truth to power, and denouncing terrorism, extremism, hate, and radicalism of which worldnews is a poster child--you're welcome here!

Post discussions about the most problematic groups, post news articles, reliable sources, research, requests for debate and discussion.

Only hate and intolerance will not be tolerated.
